Good God, why do people live in the Northeastern U.S.? The summers are hot and muggy and the winters are brutal and cold and snowy. I really need to look into moving The Enclave back to the West Indies. Or maybe the Bahamas.

I have a most unattractive picture of Gollum trying to get the Ring from My Sweet Frodo on my Two Towers Page A Day calendar. It's been disturbing me all day. Knowing what happens at the end makes it somehow worse.

Yeah, I could watch Return of the King.

That bright sun and blue sky are just mocking me, taunting me into going out into the soul sucking cold of Death. I'm not falling for it again, you bastards.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it in the Ramblings before, but I'm a knitter. Yeah. Like your grandma. Only with fancier yarns. And I'm cuter. Anyway, I made a scarf as a gift for someone and now I have three scarf orders. All I need now are some small children and I can have my very own sweatshop.

So Killington, Vermont, wants to secede from the state and join New Hampshire, which is 25 miles away. The Vermont government is none too thrilled about this and pretty much threatened serious repercussions. This could break into an armed conflict between Vermont and New Hampshire. I would love that. Every state for themselves. New York could definitely take bits of New Jersey. Well, at the very least it could take parts of Massachusetts. And Iowa is just asking for trouble.

In fact, this could be a whole New World Order. There haven't been many hostile takeovers lately. Well, except Afghanistan. And Iraq. But really, I personally could take over Switzerland, especially with their "army" only being armed with those little knives with screwdrivers and wee scissors. Yeah, shut up, Switzerland. You with your chocolates and your banks...

Oooh! Cookies!

Yeah, I could watch Return of the King.

Maybe Killington could secede from the U.S. altogether and become a separate Republic. The Republic of Killintonania. Blessed be the holy mountains and the ridiculous amount of snowfall. Yea, dost the Lord speaketh unto the citizens of Killingtonania and tell them that they shalt ignore the tyranny of Vermont's state taxes and become one with itself.

The ingredient list on my container of sugar reads as follows: ingredients: sugar. How minimalist. They couldn't put "pure cane sugar" or "sugar imported from the lush green fields of Killingtonania" or something?

I really like the word mollycoddled. I wonder what it means.

How much longer until the new Harry Potter book comes out? I just can't believe J.K. Rowling would leave us like that. We didn't even get to find out Harry's OWL scores. And what's going to happen to Remus Lupin now that he's the last real Marauder. And I want Bad Things to happen to Professor Umbridge. It's driving me nuts. Er. More nuts, anyway.

I read an article on-line about how January is the month where Bad Movies go to Die. I wish I could find it again for the News Briefs. It was funny, but then again, it means that there is a long dry spell until we get some decent movies again. The next movie I know I want to see that has a release date is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and that's not until June 4. There better be something good coming out before that. I'm not going to make it six months with no decent movies.

I wish I could be a pirate. Not in an unwashed, eye patched, peg legged kind of way. Just in the making people walk the plank and keelhauling them kind of way. You know, the good way.

Yeah, I could watch Return of the King.
