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.

“Dude…how many Tuesdays did you have?”

How NOT to get a good start on your Wednesday morning, by Emily

1. Reach for a drink in the middle of the night and upend the glass of water all over your bed.

2. Instead of changing the sheets, layer several small towels over the wet spot and decide to just sleep with your head down at the other end of the bed.

3. Wake up a few hours later…

“Where Am I?!”

It all goes sort of downhill from there.

I don’t know where my brain has been, but it seems that we’re already a week into September. Not that I should be entirely surprised: the weather has been turning autumn-ish for a few weeks now, which means freezing cold nights followed by days that are either scorching or overcast. Today it’s the latter. While waking up in a damp bed is never fun, waking up in a damp bed is even less fun on a rainy day.

And before I’d even rolled out of bed, my iPhone cheerfully reminded me that That Time Of The Month would be imminently upon me - yes, I have an app for that – and that was just the frosting on the very soggy cake. I could feel the headache starting to throb behind my bleary little eyeballs. Sometimes you just have to accept that you’re not going to get ahead of the day, no matter what you do.

And if that means a little pick-me-up to get you through your To Do list, so be it.
