Weretoad and I saw “Thor” today. We’ve been anticipating this movie for awhile now. My husband has actually read some “Thor” comics and has this strange little agnostic crush on the God. I, of course, am a practicing Pagan and wanted to see some Gods on the big screen! Finally, we’ve both been enjoying theContinue reading “Huzzah for “Thor!””

On the death of an enemy
I’m trying to wrap my brain around how I should be feeling right now. I feel a mixture of emotions – neither apathy nor the desire to party.
