What do you assign to Mordor?

[skip spence]

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.

Apart from the actual deed, which chills me to the bone, I also assign the media coverage of the event to Mordor. By presenting the guy´s own images posing with a gun etc. he gets exactly what he wanted (or at least what I imagine he wanted): fame and front page coverage. For once he is in the limelight and the one everybody is talking about, a thought which is a revenge of sorts I guess in his twisted mind - I imagine him as a disregarded loner.

Although he won´t get to enjoy being famous this sort of media coverage will only make similar insane deeds more likely in the future. Whatever happened to serious journalism?

I also assign faceless bureaucracy to Mordor along with the heavy hand of law striking down on people not deserving it.

On a lighter note I also assign moving to Mordor, and then I mean the process of moving - especially cleaning your old place up - and not moving into a nicer, bigger place with belongs in the Shire.

Greenie & skip, I totally agree with you.
I'd also like to assign studying, or alternatively, being tired of studying...

I assign the impending hell week and the mountains of papers and examinations it brings about. And on my birthday I have two exams and a paper due. Off to Mordor! The papers and the exams and the sadistic professors! Bwahaha!

Well, like I said, German grammar belongs to Mordor - or at least the cases do. Not the language as a whole by any means, but I'm convinced Germans make up their grammar as they go along.

Also to Mordor:
weighing 60lbs more than you're supposed to, waking up at 4 am every day, heartburn, having blood drawn all the time, and other 3rd trimester fun....

buying a new, expensive pair of shoes for your daughter to wear to school and having her lose them two weeks later...

realistic paper butterfly mobiles brought home from school and hung in the kitchen of someone with severe Lepidopterophobia ... I'd take it down, but I'm afraid to touch it...

and student loans that only come halfway through the semester!

Oh I can sympathise with that one. I wasn't one of these floaty yoga mums playing whale song to the 'bump', I was more the sort who sat in a flustered heap on the sofa going "Bring me more crunchy nut cornflakes and quickly!"

I feel like I should probably be able to sing the whale song myself.

*struggles to get off the beach... er, out of her chair*

Hmm... crunchy nut cornflakes. I wonder if we have those here -

Double posting in this thread is sad, I know, but I have to assign the professor who told us three weeks ago we needed to write three responses to each "work" by today, and only clarified yesterday that, in his version of the English language, "work" means chapter, not book.

Be warned, over consumption of crunchy nut cornflakes and ice cold milk (and probably also green tea, haribos and mango - I normally hate mango, why?) results in 11lb 4oz babies.

I don't yet assign German cases to Mordor, but I assign gender. Makes me go crazy and wish to whack my professor with a broken chair leg. Which reminds me, our final exam on my level-2 German is bis morgen früh... scary.

I assign to Mordor that librarian and the photocopier at the College of Music today, who refused to entertain me despite being first in line just because I come from the Arts and Letters, letting the students of CoM first just because they're wonderful performers or such... maybe I should suggest that in our library and photocopy center we ban altogether students from the CoM?

Seasonal affective disorder... It is pouring with rain, I feel miserable, my bones ache, I am comfort eating and my hair is doing that scary curly thing it does in reaction to rainwater. Oh yes and I have just sighted the first mince pies of the season.

Please can I hibernate? Or emigrate... just to get away from the endless damp greyness of an English winter and shops starting Christmas on 1st October.

Endless dark grey skies, interspersed with rain.

Being constantly tired despite sleeping more than enough.

Cramps.

Mood swings.
