Feel GOOD Friday!

Okay, this has been an awesome week.  I’m thinking this is the best summer I’ve had in ages, with part credit to being able to visit some of the amazing sights Ontario has to offer – we have wicked cottage and vacation country so close to us.  Here’s this week’s Love List:

:) Carlyn Moulton.  Carlyn owns Oeno Gallery in Prince Edward County, located on Huff Estates Winery (where Chef Michael Hoy creates wonderful meals to be enjoy by the vineyards and I had the pleasure of spending a lot of time on Monday).  Carlyn’s contemporary art gallery is a hotbed for both local and international work, but for me it’s Carlyn’s stunning sculpture garden that made my week (and where I shot this Power Thought â„¢).  I could spend all day there, and it’s only just a work in early progress.  Topped off with thought-provoking conversation, it was amazing to meet such a fun person.

:) Law Of Attraction. ‘Tis the season whereby many around us complain about how short summer is, how it’s almost over, and often this can be punctuated with a remark about snow on the way. Consider: It’s never that our summers are too short, it’s that we take too long before we start appreciating them. Continue Reading…

:) Pandemonium. Here at Casa Marano-Proulx we’re painting inside, digging up the front and back gardens, dealing with truckloads of dirt that won’t fit into our lane-way (on top of running a time-sensitive business), and as I observe the mess, trip over bikes stored in the kitchen, navigate my way past towel racks precariously placed in darkened hallways in the middle of the night to pee, I can’t help but appreciate the high-level stimulation and excitement of it all, realizing I am addicted in a good way to a joyous self-crated roller-coaster life.

:) Grey Goose. Continue Reading…

Scan With Your Smart Phone For A Special Mother's Day Message!

While it’s fun to be composing my weekly list of things I’m loving – especially given I haven’t been around the past few Fridays to do so – it’s odd to do it when I’m horribly, horribly hungover not feeling 100% “good” this morning.  But I won’t let a little heavy mixing booze indulgence weigh me down, here’s what I’m loving Advil, water, coffee, fatty foods as we head into the weekend:

:) Back running! After a winter wading towards Delta Burke territory, I’m loving being out exercising and especially living close to Lake Ontario to run alongside it. Continue Reading…

TheShaunProulxShow.tv – Tom Casiello

For millions of fans – including myself – of the daytime drama genre, the soap opera world is a mystery.  Recently I had a Skype sit down with ex-The Young And The Restless writer Tom Casiello, who shared with me the secrets behind the scripts, his controversial favourite storyline, taking notes from CBS, and his thoughts on the recent axing of daytime stalwart One Life To Live and All My Children:

Deconstructing Genoa City

I dream of Genie!  I dream of the day soon when this engaging General Hospital soap icon comes to Genoa City, the town where neglected soap talent comes back to life, making watching Y&R my life’s work even more joyful.

Meanwhile, back in reality:

Ashley Abbott: Ugh, being in a relationship with Tucker is reminding Ash of being with Victor and all I want is for Genie Francis to be immediately paired with her just to put a fresh twist on a stale tale.  #LWord

Billy Abbott: Dear Billy, When your world crumbles, when Lucy is taken from you, when Bictoria is Bic-broken, call me.  I’ll be there. #MoreTrackPants

Jack Abbott: “I can’t talk now! I’m on a treadmill!” #SameShitDifferentDay

When Ambien Met Ativan

Vance Abrams: SO great to have Eric Roberts back on quality TV and away from Janice Dickinson and Dr. Drew. #JuliaWho?

Cane Ashby: I can’t believe I’m saying this but ‘Go Ghosts’! If only for that one very sexy single shot of dead Cane Dane in the elevator the other day, the doors closing on him as he peered out at his wife in too high heels mourning. Really hot, really full of magic, really electric moment.  #You’veGotTheLook

Lily Ashby: “I think it’s time to switch dealers.” #KHole

Michael Baldwin: In real life Michael Baldwin would be the first guy to tell Lauren Fenmore she needs to switch that hair up fast, and that’s the scene I wait to see. #ScissorSisters Continue Reading…

Deconstucting Genoa City

Spoiler Alert! Future Lane Moment!

Often while watching Willing Suspension Of Disbelief The Young & The Restless, I wonder what would happen to our friends in Genoa City if they held more modern values.  Do they actually ALL still revere the sanctity of marriage, or are they creating their own definition of a relationship, hot glue gun messes all the while? Does a GC woman still need a man (and then his baby, at all cost), clinging for decades after to the horrid mess of dysfunction their lovemaking created?  Or would she just say ‘fuck y’all’ and hit a cougar bar? And is everyone in Genoa City seriously Catholic? Not a Scientologist anywhere?

Let the deconstruction begin:

Ashley Abbott: I myself am not Catholic, and don’t pray, but if I were and did: ‘Dear Lord Baby Jesus let Ashley sue for custody of Faith.  Let it be so, Lord, and I will give up Maryjane. Amen’

Billy Abbott: So amazing to watch I’m surprised he hasn’t been killed off.  Billy /Victoria are a sexy hurricane, everything Sharon and Nick should have been. Continue Reading…

Deconstructing Genoa City

Family Matters.

Wow, of all times to leave town and miss about a week’s worth of Y&R! I’ve pretty much caught up – thank you modern technology!  Let’s take it all apart, beginning with:

Ashley Abbott: Eileen Davidson recently tweeted that since she hadn’t worked much last year, she didn’t submit herself for The Daytime Emmys.  I miss seeing Ash and this hit me loud and clear when she confronted Sharon about how she would never have let Faith go if she knew Sharon would – say it with me now: SHACK UP WITH FAITH’S KIDNAPPER.  Please make her fight Nick and Sharon for custody, just to keep that kidlet out of their arms and in those of a woman who often loses her mind, instead.  Anything would be an improvement over Tree and Plant.

Billy Abbott: This guy can do no wrong.  I love watching him parent Lucy and dote on Victoria.  Now re-read that last sentence.  Sounds as dull as anything, but Billy Miller makes it hot. Continue Reading…
