Banquet on Friday Thursday was a waste of time and money. It was supposed to start at 7:30, but no one really showed up until almost 8:30, and they hadn't started the actual speech part by the time I gave up and left at 9:30. The only amusing bit was my thoughts as I left: "I Naired my legs for this?"

I've finished the bibliography, but I've gotten nothing else done. Why am I so terrible at motivating myself to work? I'm now almost two days behind on my schedule; I'm not sure I'll be able to catch up even if I don't sleep the rest of the weekend. *headdesk* I suck at this whole school thing.

TV Keyword Meme
-Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your favorite TV shows you watch.
-Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
-Have your friends guess the show names.

To help you out, one is a cartoon, and of the nine remaining one is not sci-fi. Three are spin-offs, two have spin-offs, one is loosely-based on a movie, two have movie(s) based on them. Six are currently running new episodes or will later this year, but one of those has been canceled and is running its last episodes. All but three are currently airing at least re-runs, and one of those three recently finished a run of its single season.

Correct on both counts, but I shan't tell you which Roddenberry, or how many. *updates #3*

Two and five, TNG and Enterprise respectively. *fingers crossed* Although I've heard some say that the latter is really only imitation Roddenberry -- not quite as good as the original. And I almost guessed that my first time but I second guessed myself, so I'm probably wrong, because if I thought I was wrong before, I was probably right about that.

I'm sure there's something more productive I should be doing right now, but I'm... not.

The only thing I can come up with for nine is Heroes, but I'm sure that's wrong.
