So it may be apparent from all my TV-related posts today that I have zero work ethic at the moment. Which is bad, because I need a new paper topic and then I need to write the paper, and instead I'm like "let's watch 30 Rock! and Psych! and NCIS! and maybe you can go catch up on Eureka! or Numb3rs! Oooh, or House! I hear Frank Pembleton shows up in S6!" Thanks, brain. At least you gave me some writing on that MFU fic, even though it totally steals from Alias AND Lois McMaster Bujold AND a Starsky & Hutch ficlet you read once. Well done.

I also need a thesis topic. ATM, I'm pondering doing something like: "Where's My Flying Car? Physics and the Future in [pick some movie]". IDEK, UGH. Maybe I could write about spy gadgetry instead? Anyway, my current thoughts about fictional invention feeding back into RL invention. Or something. Last week they were about the effect of continuity writing in television on genre. Sigh.

Also, it's weirding me out that Ian Crawford's new Twitter profile pic bears an eerie resemblance to my default LJ icon -- Jimi Hendrix, wearing the same hat, in the same hand-leaning posture. If I were a teenage girl, I would take it as a sign we're MFEO, but alas, I am 22 these days. (Possibly soon to change; I'm looking into doing that trick with running car odometers backward, only with years. Will keep everyone posted.)

I don't know what movie you should write about, but clearly the title should be "Dude, Where's My Flying Car?: Etc." (Or you could do what I did and just babble self-indulgently about your favorite topic for 40 pages. *shifty*)

Ha, yes. Well, it's complicated by the fact I'm graduating early, so I have to be done by December. Also, the problem is more that "my favorite topic" describes about a hundred different things. I'm having trouble narrowing down to a manageable idea.
