In Search Of ... Employment

Since I can't afford Leonard Nimoy to narrate ...

I've got an interview later today. I won't say for what except that it's a job considerably beneath my skills, but ideal for my situation in regard to my school needs, both for now and possibly for next semester.

And frankly, at this point paying the rent is more important than anything else.

And it's not likely to require many nights.

Update: It's not likely to require many days, either -- it was a 6-12 hours a week position. Egh.

Sci Fi stuff

The writers behind the British TV shows The League of Gentlemen and Coupling are joining the team working on the new U.K. Doctor Who series, the BBC announced. Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffatt will join a select group of writers, led by Russell T. Davies, producing scripts for the 13-part series for BBC One.

Other new writers will be Steven Moffatt, Mark Gatiss and Paul Cornell. Filming starts in Cardiff this spring for a 2005 premiere.

Gatiss created the satiric League of Gentlemen (not to be confused with the film and graphic novel The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Moffatt's credits include BBC Two's Coupling, winner of the sitcom of the year at the British Comedy Awards and adapted into an abortive NBC series of the same name.

Other writers involved in the project include Rob Shearman, author of three Big Finish Doctor Who stories, and Cornell, who wrote several original Doctor Who novels and two Doctor Who series, the BBC reported.

Yes!!!

I personally LOVE Cornell's Doctor Who novels, so I for one am happy to see him onboard. Steven Moffatt is also a good thing, for the man knows how to write "funny" and "poignant" in the same script, and that's a mix Doctor Who has always needed.
