You should, like, totally worship me!
I’ll explain the title later on in this entry.
So,I had an interview at the job center today. [sarcasm]Yay![/sarcasm] It wasn’t too bad. They can now recommend jobs to me that are further away from the house (up to 90 mins door to door) and I’ve to sign on weekly instead of fortnightly for the next six weeks. Joy.
They also did this thing that told me that, including working tax credits I’ll be better off off financially than I am now. No shit Sherlock! I’m fairly sure my friends 18 month old kid could have told you that.
You can just tell that I like dealing with that place, can’t you? (No offence to those who work for the DWP.)
I found out about this last night and I’m planning to enter.
For those of you who can’t be bothered clicking through, it’s a competition for Channel 4 in which the prize is that a half hour pilot will be made of a script with the possibility of it becoming a full series. Not to mention that chance to work with a proper production company for 8 weeks. But I might have to email them to clarify something. One part of the website says this about the training:
“They will then be hot-housed in one of three Scottish independent production companies, where mentoring producers and Channel 4 script editors will help them develop their series idea and complete a first draft script.”
But then elsewhere it says:
“During the eight weeks training, you’ll need to spend time working on your script. We realise that you might have other commitments, and this writing may need to be done in whatever spare time you have.”
Now, I’m fairly certian that it means that I’ll have to relocate to whereever the production company is based. But it does also seem to suggest that it might not be necessary. Depending which it is will determine which location I put down as my first choice. The companies are based in Glasgow and Cromarty. Glasgow would be easier to hop on the train to if I only need to be there occasionally. But if I need to relocate, Cromarty is closest to Aberdeen. Which means that I could possibly put my stuff into storage, stay at a B&B during the week and head home at the weekend. We’ll see. Either way, wish me luck.
The title. I discovered (thanks to the wonderful folk at I Am Bored) the one and only Church Of The Latter Day Dude. And the first thing I found on the site? Allowed me to get this:
So, maybe not like, totally worship me. But I could totally conduct a wedding, a bris or even a pet spraying service in most places in America.
And anyone who is shocked that I ordained myself obviously hasn’t been reading this diary for long. (Though, in fairness, it has been a while since I last did this.
I’ve also signed up for Twelve in 12. Read at least one book a month for a whole year. I think I can manage that. My current plan is to read and review books that, it seems to me, not many people have heard of.
Video goodness for you:

Oh, and Heroes fans, if you knwo what to look for on youtube you’ll be able to find videos made by Adrian Passar.
I think that’s everything.
No! Wait! What’s that coming over the hill? (Is it a monster? Is it a monster?)
This is entry number 1291. Which means that in 9 entries time it’ll be entry 1300. So, the floor is open for questions. Have at it.
Now I’m done.
Toodle pip, chaps and chapessess.

If your pilot is half as entertaining as that Harry Potter clip, you are in business!
