'I blame you Hollywood, for showing me things you never should'
Today's tally: 1.5 hours of viola practice (I can semi-play now so I'm feeling better), half an hour of violin practice (it feels absolutely tiny after playing the viola), chosen an essay topic in the second block for Music History, actually understood what was going on in Aural, and have now finished 3/4 of my overdue Indonesian assignment.
I deserve a meme-post, yes?

Pick 20 (oops I kept going until 25) movies/anime/video games/literary works/whatever and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds (tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BetterThanItSounds) and have your friends guess. No cheating!
1. Horse talks about his life.
2. Convict escapes justice. Valiant capture attempt by devoted police force prove futile. Student uprising ends in massacre. And then there's a wedding.
3. A blacksmith's rich girlfriend gets kidnapped by zombie pirates, and he goes to rescue her with the help of another pirate who is not a zombie but wears eyeliner. And it's based on a theme park ride.
4. Men with one letter names fight against space bugs.
5. Guy accidentally destroys a food offering. To prevent the violent consequences of such act, he hires a circus troupe.
6. Young woman is captured by violent fanged monster, and talks to furniture and crockery. Fortunately, she convinces her captor to not be such an ass, and everyone lives Happily Ever After. Except for a Bruce Campbell lookalike, who falls off a building.
7. A dorky white guy with an overactive imagination's adventures in a hospital full of doctors who must've bribed their way through med school.
8. High School Musical with issues.
9. Children neglected by their workaholic father and political activist mother befriend a busker, participate in magic with their flighty governess, and cause an economic crisis. It's a musical.
10. Three mammals and a baby. Also, unlucky guy tries hiding his food.
11. Two horny teenagers behave like horny teenagers. Everyone dies because of it.
12. Orphan discovers his parents enrolled him in boarding school before they died. He kills one of his teachers and doesn't want to go home for the summer. He's the hero.
13. Guy mistaken for the Messiah joins violent left-wing front, gets a Latin lesson at swordpoint, meets a government official with a speech impediment, and dies hearing cheerful song.
14. Sexually repressed nineteenth-century German teenagers sing catchy indie pop songs.
15. Twenty-something Muppets search for a purpose in life and extol the virtues of porn while living in a building run by a short black man played by a woman.
16. Following the death of her entire family, a young girl moves off the continent and learns how to not be a spoiled brat by growing plants.
17. Prince who blames himself for his father's death runs away and is taken in by all-male commune which subsists on insects.
18. A spoiled fashion victim is sold into slavery, but eventually becomes a VIP.
19. Stage adaptation of two famous children's books narrated by a character who appeared in neither.
20. In The Future, there's no crime, poverty, war, disease or old age, and everyone gets to have lots and lots of sex. But the Noble Savage says it's bad. Two other people, who are among the smartest people on earth, go on a quest to stop being happy.
21. Uptight but independent teacher falls for mopey rich man.
22. A hospital show where everyone is part of a giant Love Dodecahedron, which patients are occasionally dragged into. No one ever seems happy, even when they specifically state that they are happy, because of the Masochism Tango of always wanting their relationship
status to be the opposite of whatever it currently is.
23. A crazy red-haired woman regularly subjects elementary-aged children to life-threatening situations without the knowledge of their parents. Protests from the children are usually ignored or glibly dismissed.
24. Family bonds and resists a dictatorship with the aid of musical numbers.
25. Emotionally abused six-year old starts attends a school where the principal emotionally abuses everyone. Hilarity ensues.
This amused me no end. Go for it, f-list!
