What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I finally got The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún this Christmas! Yay! Though it costs over a thousand pesos, I used all my savings, plus five hundred from my brother, because I just couldn't let it pass. And I couldn't wait for the softcover edition, which was what I did with Children of Húrin.

Also, I found a copy of Ibsen's major plays and The Little Book of Matisse in a second-hand bookshop, for just less than fifty each!

Good for you! I have had my eye on that book for a while. You just can't beat Northern Mythology!

Home-made chocolate cake and a week off at home with my 5 year old.

For once, sparcely inhabited towns. Since mine was the only school in my district to try the Poetry Out Loud competition, I get to skip regionals and go straight to state!

Snow!

There's incredible lots of it here, on the roadsides you can find piles taller than me and all the tree branches are white all over. It's so beautiful!

And besides, they say you can go walk on the sea now, the ice is solid enough. Gotta try that as soon as I finish my first BD check in two weeks!

Triage.

I love me my triage.

As I was saying to Nienna last night - it was either her or Boro... then again, maybe it was my brother or cousin? - if you aren't bleeding, none of your bones are broken, you're not running a dangerous fever, you can breathe, you're not in labor, and none of your organs are failing, then you can suck it up and wait a few hours.
