Once again I find myself
behind on my work, although I have made some good progress on The Woolworths Related Documentary (working title) and what I
have written so far is pretty good, if I say so myself. Monday is a Bank
Holiday so I won’t get anything done then, but I have a relatively easy job for
the next two weeks finishing the audio book of Whatever
Happened To Nathan McKenzie? Although I could still feasibly get the
Woolworths script finished I would be really pushing it to have it filmed in
time for his Christmas. Due to its theme (Woolworths, the clue was in the
title) I do want it to be released at Christmas so would be willing to wait
until next year. Christmas just hasn’t been the same since the shops closed
down in 2008 so to have this available would go some way to plugging the void
left by the lack of elaborate Christmas adverts. As nice as it would be to have
one of my ideas finally out in the open, I want things to be right with it; you
wouldn’t watch It’s A Wonderful Life in the middle of the year. Although TWRD isn’t exactly dripping with tinsel and glitter, it will
still be marketed as a Christmas special and as such should only be viewed up
to the 6th January. I’ll be releasing plenty of other things in
December so maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have the film out as I might
end up annoying the very people I want to be buying and enjoying my work.
Part of the reason I have been
so slap-dash in my work is the discovery of series five of Frasier
on YouTube. We will still have to buy the series on DVD to complete the set,
but with the DVDs being like rocking horse shit at least we can watch the
series before we start on series six on DVD. It isn’t ideal watching it on a
laptop, especially as you’re only watching a YouTube size screen as full screen
mode pixilates the picture and makes it buffer, but it satisfies our need to
continue. It could be worse; there was a time when YouTube only allowed videos
up to ten minutes in length so watching a television programme or a film had to
be done in stages. Honestly, we don’t know we’re born these days.
