I assign toast.
Mmmm, wether it's a crusty sourdough bread with sharp cheddar cheese, a crispy wheat bread with cinnamon and sugar, a barely browned white with butter, garlic powder and a hint of salt, or a soft crusty bread soggy with meat drippings......mmmmmmmmmmmm. Also I assign finding old computer games you used to love as a kid. I used to play an gorgeous old tetris-clone puzzle game and have recently picked that up again. Hurrah!

Luckyyyyyyyy!!!
I assign real books. The ones made on paper, not electronic devices. On Friday in one of my classes we had a discussion about what we think will happen to books in a hundred years. I told them that my books at least will be in excellent shape and still in use, if you expect me to live till 120. ![]()

I assign snow. Seeing it fall and cover everything, and the way everything shines after, and how bright all that white looks compared to what was before, and the way it creaks under your feet if it's cold outside, and just that it makes the world look so perfect and clean that I feel guilty stepping outside. It's snow from the Shire.

And the Shire does get snow - not a lot of it like Caardhras blizzards, but light gentle snowfalls like we've had this morning.

Getting postcards from people's holidays. Now "everyone" is on facebook people don't send them so much but it was lovely to get one from the BVI today even though I know the sender has been home for nearly a fortnight.

I assign phone calls from friends when you most need them and are feeling rather worse than a pile of Orc-dung.
I need to wash out my mouth. ![]()

Elves. Can't forget to give those. Sam Gamgee would cry, otherwise!

I assign exams.
Yes, you've heard me right. And I didn't mix up the threads. We only has six ( ![]() I guess all this will change once exams will be "real". Like, real real. I'm taking in every moment of this time, though. I don't think I'll get away that easy next year (hmm... I say that every year...)

Seroiously, Latin Softball is the most fun thing in the UNIVERSE! (Especially when the teacher plays too and you make her translate "Servus verbat alterum servum baculo" [The slave beats the other slave with a stick]) ![]() ![]() ![]()

Sailboats and boating. Though it might not be the most common thing in the Shire, the hobbits prefering breakfast and warm baths, I'm sure there are a few Basso Boffins that would enjoy a trip on a yacht.

I think I assign health to the shire and the form of beauty that appears in simple things. Yeah and btw the comment above me, that egosentric stupid world view clearly derives from Mordor.

O. Henry's short stories. They are something I could imagine hobbits telling each other over a pint of mead. Except that you'd have to move the stories back 4 ages...
I also assign silence. I think that many people underestimate it. It is sometimes so good just not to listen to anything, not to have any noise in the background.
