What do you assign to Orthanc?

It is about the mutiny on HMAV Bounty and it is actually extremely interesting, but also extremely confusing. After reading the log of Captain Bligh, James Morrison and Alexander Smith you don't know what to belive. . . and Edward Christian of course also add to the confusion. So even after having written 11 pages, I still feel like I am missing something.

What an odd thing to write a paper on! Just avoid watching the Mel Gibson film if you don't want an unbiased account as like everything else with Mel Gibson in it, it's less than the 'truth' Though the ships are nice.

Unlike many Hollywood producers Mel Gibson has a love for freedom, entertaining movies, and a mind that knows what to believe. Unfortunately, that stuff makes you a criminal in Hollywood.

I assign college professors to Orthanc. I have several that I love working with and they are really helpful, but then I have my chemistry professor who is absolutely worse than useless. Last class he gave us the wrong dates for test day, and I would have missed it if I hadn't glanced at my syllabus.

Poor you.

I assign the pre-hell week. Today I had to walk a kilometer and take the non-aircon bus to reach my mother's office to ask for lunch-money plus more to get more of my readings. I didn't realize that my readings and the books I need literally drained my wallet until I was left with only fourteen pesos, and I left my darling credit card at home. Good thing my mom gave me more than enough money today (after some ad-misericordiam). So it's just to Orthanc

Having to go to a huge party where I don't know everybody, and where I'll probably still have the lingering end bits of a stubborn cold, and which is outside and will probably be somewhat chilly.

Only to Orthanc, not to Mordor?

As one of the hosts, if anybody irritates me I can send them packing.

I would have thought the attractions were obvious... they seemed so from what google revealed.~Mith

But, it's a bad trade off, and like anything that can be debilitating to your health you have to wonder is the reward worth the risk? The world likes balance, take chemistry, a balanced equation = good, and as Lindale says I don't think Tila Tequila balances.

Alright, so she's good eye candy, but is it worth her obvious lack of sense, and my loss of brain cells by watching her? And I have to ask myself do I really need to turn on the tube and lose intelligence if I want to see an attractive woman? The answer is no, but I still do anyway.

Also, I've been thinking any kind of rip-off belongs in Orthanc. Saruman after all did try to mimic Sauron, but we all knew he wasn't the real deal. Anything that tries to mimic the real deal (Mordor), but in truth is just a fake rip-off, I assign to Orthanc. So, yes I would assign ambulance chasers and chiropractors to Orthanc.

Cream cakes & chocolate - not so much a hate thing but a very naughty couple of things that I find very hard to resist because inwardly I love them so much, but morally I should really hate!

I assign Rorschach. He should not be so cool. He is an absolutist, an extremist, right wing and incredibly violent. But all the same, he is probably one of the coolest characters ever to grace a comic book.

He's definitely not for The Shire though.

I assign my parents.

Here's an interesting pun: In Filipino, we call them magulang, parents regardless of gender. But gulang alone is a noun,which means cheating when it comes to money. And the prefix ma- indicates that the word is an adjective, sorta when you add -eous to courage, courageous. So magulang, intoned as /MA-gulang/ cheaters when it comes to money and such, and magulang /ma-GULANG/, parents.

I have been so exited (and nervous) all day, only for it to end in a total anticlimax (the day that is).

Running.

People who are into it often say it becomes like a drug after a while. Frankly, those people never did any good drugs. Running is pretty much the opposite of drugs actually, at first horrible, then it only gets worse, then a little better, and usually it has a beneficiary long term effect on your physical and mental health which is little comfort however while you're in the middle of it.

Anime Sanjushi. Am I annoyed at its twisted adaptation of the d'Artagnan romances or am I amused?

To be fair, the screenplay was written not by Mel Gibson, but by one of Wallace's own descendants, Randall Wallace.
