So it’s a slow day today at work. Someone brought in a LOTR DVD (don’t know which one, and don’t really care). I cannot STAND it! I really want to jump off the sixth floor into the pond. I don’t know what it is, I just cannot stand LOTR! I think I’m going to retaliate, and tell them I need to run to Bestbuy to get some headphones because of all the noise. Something is not right about a mostorous creature talking in a gurglish fashion about rings (is that even a word?). I know many of you love LOTR, sorry so if I’ve offended you. I just cannot get into it! I actually tried, but cannot.

I knew I should’ve spell checked. That should be ‘monstrous’.

Rings? Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s a word.

But “mostorous” is not.
