pilot time

it's that time of the year again, time to work for free on peoples pilots. often i'm asked by the studio or network and therefore i dont even know the people who's script I'm working on. yesterday i worked on a new show for NBC and went to the table read which is when all the actors, studio, network, casting, director, writers, etc sit around in a room, and listen to the actors read the script. it gives them the sense of what works and what doesn't.

anyway, the script was written by the guys who wrote a movie last year with the "500" in the title. And they rule. I loved working with them! they are seriously awesome. also there was a show runner from Friends and a few other writers I have met in passing. I had blast, got a bunch of jokes in the script and left very happy.. now I sit and hope i get some sort of present for the free work I did.

anyway, when i first arrived the room was enormous and people were talking to each other and i didn't know another soul, so I went to the bathroom to hide until it was time for the read to start. I'm so weird sometimes. had I had my book, i would've just read, but i felt stupid, so i hid in the bathroom and took a picture of the toilet to prove it. but then as i looked closer, i saw saran wrap on the back of the toilet that looked like it had something in it, but was now empty.... and it got me thinking... did someone bring a wrapped sandwich into the toilet and then leave the empty wrap on the back of the toilet????

this bathroom was in the offices of the tv show Parenthood, so it had to be someone associated with that show, right? but seriously? that's gross right? IN THE BATHROOM? SERIOUSLY??

any other ideas what could've been going on with this saran wrap? curioser and curioser, alice. quote from alice in wonderland.
