FIRST ROUND

Jan 18th 2009 – my birthday. Another year older and deeper in debt. I check the Kaos website for updates. First round qualifiers have been posted up. All three have made it through. Out of a total of 206 that also made it through that gives me odds of about 68 to one. My brother Peter phones to wish me a happy birthday. I idly mention I have entered the competition. He is very interested to hear that the first prize is a produced film. In his words, “that sounds really cool – I have a good feeling about this one” I tell him that the way this usually plays out is that I make it to the last couple of fences and then fall on my ass.
