I assign to Mordor that the fact that most of the books I need right now from the library are either on loan, lost/damaged, and long overdue. I hate our school.

I assign good books to Mordor. They call out to you, begging you to read them when you know you should be doing homework or cleaning, or for that matter sleeping. The same can be said for The Barrow-Downs and Facebook.

I assign Capitalism because it's caused a certain bank takeover which is making us worry about the certainty of our household income.

But without capitalism I wouldn't have an income at all....we can't all work in the public sector....

When the people you live with are all mad at each other. Not just "she forgot to do the dishes AGAIN." Door slamming nobody's talking to each other tangible angst mad.

Stupid, evil, rubbish Firefox. I downloaded it last night because I wanted to watch a film and I had to download some codec that only worked with Firefox etc, etc, and now I've got viruses and trojans and security alerts popping up left, right and centre which had never happened before. It's driving me insane. Anything I do to try and make it better only asks me for money ... think it might be time for a trip to the computer shop.

That's so strange... I've used Firefox almost exclusively for the past several years and I've never had anything of the like occur.

You know, after I downloaded FF3, my AVG-Free has caught a damn lot of trojans. And I'm too poor to buy any real antivirus, oh! I just make it a habit to save all my papers in my Yahoo mail, because the important files in my computer are just my papers and my pictures.

Since no other Finn has done it yet, I'll have to assign the fact that twisted young men keep shooting innocent people for no apparent reason.

I second your assignment, A Little Green.

On a far less somber note, I assign spilling whiteout just before work to Mordor. It's very difficult to clean up. I still have some traces of it on my finger.

that is something rather universal. There are a lot of cover-ups done here about young men and gang-wars in places like Tondo, Manila.

I assign the typhoon Ofel that has made my internet connection crappy, and brought about a brief flashflood and heavy rains just the exact moment I was in line waiting for the jeep home.
