What do you assign to Mordor?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Having completely written an entire paper, looking up the final citation that's supposed to blow away my readers with my brilliance (and finally swing an A from a professor who always gives me Cs)...

And discovering that I overlooked one single sentence fragment in the story ("their old debate, and indeed the only debate that ever happened in their country") that completely (and I mean completely) destroys my main support for my thesis. Fourteen words out of like a hundred pages and a third of my paper's trashed.

I assign the animated LoTR and Hobbit movies to Mordor, as well as Christmas carols.

Okay, the movies I can understand. But Christmas carols????

I would assign little yippy yappy dogs, but they are probably already in Mordor.

I assign getting a rock thrown at my windshield by one of a pre-teen gang as I drove down a residential street in the inner city. And I suppose I got off lucky with only a cracked windshield.

Right now, Idaho has the most acres burning in the entire United States (16 fires and 787,342 acres). Five counties have been declared in a state of emergency. Some areas are so smoky you can hardly see and I have even seem flames consuming the foothills with my own eyes.

Thats Kinda like, up by Fairbanks, Alaska like two years ago... my "clan" as we call it, went up there to go blueberry picking, but there were no blueberries...

Ack! Lot's of commercials, get this do that and blah, blah, blah. Especially aimed at teenage girls (ahem), but I don't give into those ads.

Hehehe, a couple years ago, there was a kid in my class that was whining that

Hehehe... My friend, Katherine said at Denali National Park(Alaska, USA, where I live) or whatever it is, she said that those yap dogs in the summertime during the tourist season, they are eagle food. Katherine said the eagles just come down and pick them up and eat them... Those dogs were never seen again. Just picture Gwaihir doing that!



This is what I assign to Mordor...
Loads of math homework, staying up to 11:00 at night doing math homework, and still not being done with math homework. Plus two days later, my family's cat dying, that we've had for 12 years...

Overdue history papers that loom over your head and taunt you with the fact that your grade is dropping every day that you don't finish and turn the darn thing in...
