(because this is a thing that actually happened)

Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t get into comics when I was younger…

and then I realize that Younger Emily really didn’t need things to be even more of a nerd about.

Plus, it is fun to discover that there’s a whole wide world of stuff that’s entirely new to you.

Comics are great escapism, of course, which makes them a welcome addition to a somewhat dreary October. No news on Austin yet, and it’s thoroughly fall-time here.

I’m in the ‘twilight zone’ of moving: making mental preparations to leave while still being here, unable to entirely ignore day-to-day planning and the reality of things like the impending holiday season. It’s weird…but it’s a mostly okay weird.

 

 

quiz time!

You’re watching the deleted scenes for Thor. Do you…

a) Take time to appreciate Tom Hiddleston and his amazingly expressive face.

- or -

b) Have a giant nerd freak out when you realize they INCLUDED HUGINN AND MUNINN.

Like Sleipnir, the ravens make a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in the final cut version of the film. And there’s a rumor going around that a “leviathan” sea monster might make an appearance in The Avengers (Jörmagundr, is that you?). So now I’m hoping against hope that we might actually see Fenrir in Thor 2. C’mon, Marvel. Throw a mythos nerd a bone. 

In other news, Thor is out on DVD today.
