What do you assign to Orthanc? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Yeah, most danes think it is spanish as well, I guess it is because it is one of the most popular beers down there.

I assign snow in Texas! *brrr* It has no business coming this far south, messing up everyone's lives and making everything icy!

I wonder how those Yankees would feel if we sent the sun up to them in the middle of winter (not happening by the way, it's all ours and we are not sharing

)? On the other hand I had my first snowball fight in years

, even if it was for ten minutes, everything melted after the sun came out.

Aww. I'd give anything to see some real snow.

I assign the rains just outside my window. Couldn't do the laundry because of it, but that is just as nice as doing the laundry when the sun is at its peak.

Christmas food shopping.
It's quite funny the way everyone feels like they have to be self-sufficient until New Year's Day.
On the other hand, there are huge queues.

Conversations with people who don't realize you know more about the subject than they do. On one hand, it's nice to know I'm not alone in my interests, particularly during the holidays. On the other, it's always kind of depressing to realize I'm still smarter.

Oh god, that sounds so arrogant...

Not the way you say it, Fea...

The way I'd say it would be more along the lines of:

That, my dear, is arrogant.

Instant noodles. It's so damn easy to prepare, add hot water and you're done, very convenient if one wakes up late and has to rush her brunch. But then again, my conscience tells me it's not a very good idea to rely on instant noodles for two big meals.
