Pet Peeve and the WB
Oct. 22nd, 2008 10:59 pmSo I have a bit of a pet peeve when it comes to classes. When I register for a 7-10pm class either through school or at a professional semniar, I expect the class to run from 7-10. Instead I always seem to get instructors that show up late and then instead of shortening their lectures to compensate they make us stay past 10. arrrrgh......that annoys the hell out of me. Obviously I'm posting this cause that happened tonight. And while I would have loved to have just walked out of the classroom after 10, he was handing out the next assignment so I had no choice but to stay late in order to get the assignment.
But anyways the real point to this post is what happened at WB today. First the sad news that while I think NCIS was filming today, I found out that Pushing Daisies will be filming tomorrow. And I don't work on Thursdays. *pouts* But on the plus side, while I was walking around during my lunch. I explored a new part of the lot since I couldn't walk through the set neighborhood, where the film crew was filming. I came across a corner of the lot that seems to hold a lot of props. I was just about to turn the corner when I saw a large light sign saying "the WB". I did a little double take once I realized it was the sign that they used on the channel before it became the CW. I remember when watching Angel they would have little promos for the channel with a large lighted sign saying "the WB" and usually a voice over saying coming up next on the WB......So that sign really was a giant sign and it still exists although the channel no longer does. And it's out in the open probably slowly eroding away. Oh and just to tie in, the building I work in, the animation department is on the third floor. The other two floors are for the CW. Yes, those wonderful shows of 90210, Top Model, Gossip Girl,(those are the posters in the lobby) I'm guessing Smallville, etc...are edited in my building. Too bad there's no reason for me to buddy up to an editor to see if any unused footage of Brainiac exists. LOL.
