The Wire

Last night I was watching the first episode of a TV show called The Wire. It was first shown on the HBO network in the US and was shown on one of the cable channels over here, although it was a channel that I don't get. Now the show is being shown late at night every weekday. The show is about police officers in Baltimore who face high-level corruption while trying to snare inner-city drug dealers. The show's dialogue features a lot of at times incomprehensible street slang and police terminology so I think it will take some time to get into it, but from the first episode it'll be really good.

It was another fairly quiet day at work, but fairly busy. The Script Frenzy challenge starts tomorrow, and I'll be doing that. It should be pretty interesting. Script Frenzy is run by the same people that do the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) in November. The aim with Script Frenzy is to write 100 pages of script during the month of April. The script can be a movie screenplay, a play, a TV show, a radio show or a comic-book.
