So I usually put on the Film Scores station on Yahoo! Launchcast while I'm writing and try to guess which movie the music is from.

I just recognized music from Hot to Trot.

*headsmack*

Here, have a pity GIP. That'd be my new my-writing-challenge-fic-is-due icon. It's pretty safe to say I'll be using it a hell of a lot more than I'd like.

EDIT: I've just been over at SpoilerFix reading Supernatural spoilers.

Oh, show.

Dude! I was totally just thinking, "I want an icon of the CLOCK OF DOOM from Studio 60!"

(And, apparently, I'm channeling a California surfer boy today.)

*sigh* I wish I could actually listen to that station, but apparently because I'm in Canada, I have to listen to Launcast Canada, and they don't have it.

In other news, I will remember to mail those disks to you, one of these days... There're a lot of movie soundtracks on there... :)

See, that? Is why I don't do spoilers.

i guess its cause i haven't actually seen the show so i don't know the context but...why is the clock scary?

The clock counts down for the writers on the show to the start of the next show so they know how long they have left until they have to get everything finished. Matthew Perry's the head writer, and when his character Matt sees the clock in his new office the conversation goes like this:

Matt: Oh, man, no wonder [the old head writer] went crazy. How did it know?
Danny (the producer): Know what?
Matt: Exactly how much time was left in the week.
Danny: Yeah, it's a miracle of technology that we've invented a device that can count backwards from seven.
Matt: But it was off.
Danny: It has a battery.
Matt (creeped out): So it always knows.
Danny: Don't endow the thing with special powers, Matt. It's a clock.

Then later, as soon as the first sketch of the show finishes, it resets back to seven days and counting until the next episode.

That thing? TERRIFYING.

Omigod, apparently by missing 20 minutes of this show I missed oodles of great stuff! *considers downloading*

Such.A.Great.Scene.

I want to bronze Sorkin's dialogue and put it on my mantle.

I don't care what Danny says, that clock is scary. I'd never get any work done because I would just stare at the clock freaking out about how little time I had left.

Danny's not a writer. Danny doesn't know.
