Frigga, Sif, Darcy, and Jane
A few random, spoilery musings on the women of Thor: The Dark World. I cannot overstate Frigga’s awesomeness. Frigga pwns everyone forever. I shall henceforth consider the epithet friggin’ an oath invoking the wrath of Frigga. I’m terrible about crying over movies, books, tv shows, songs, gifs, etc., but I couldn’t cry over Frigga’s death.…

Steven Universe, aka Amethyst And Those Other People
Let me be very up-front about this: I am reviewing Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe for the same reason I was compelled to watch it in the first place, that being the presence of a character named Amethyst. My interest was further piqued when I found out creator Rebecca Sugar worked on Adventure Time and had written…

Thalia’s Musings 3 is halfway done!
The rough draft, that is. I’ve drafted 8 of a projected 16 chapters. I’ll give more timeline details as I have them, but for now I can say that I’m looking at a Spring 2014 release. Like the first two volumes, Volume 3 will be posted serially at ThaliasMusingsNovels.com for free and sold for Kindle…

Pinterest Fiction: My Imaginary Well-Dressed Toddler Daughter
This concept is very near the top of my “Why The Effing Hell Did I Not Think Of This First??” list. We all have Pinterest boards that in no way reflect our actual lives, right? If Pinterest had a dime for every not-engaged woman who has a wedding pinboard- oh, wait, it probably does. Anyway,…

Crazy Weekend; Tired Blogger
Personally, I don’t quite see what weddings and restraint have to do with one another. What, you think I like weddings because they’re romantic? Please. A wedding, like any public ceremony, is a production, and that is irresistible to a theater goddess. – A Snag in the Tapestry (Thalia’s Musings, Volume One) As I write this, it’s…

Halloween 2013 recap
In case following my cosplay delusions got you wondering what I picked for my actual costume, here it is! Presenting a few grainy, badly-lit selfies of me as Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo. This costume is entirely made of pieces that I’ve owned for years. Except the socks. They were hard to find. They are soft…

Nicola Tesla, Vampire: NBC’s Dracula
What if Nicola Tesla were a vampire, and the corporate overlords who suppressed his inventions for their own profits were part of an ancient Draconian order of vampire hunters? I get the impression that was the original premise of NBC’s Dracula, and the network ended up using Bram Stoker’s public domain characters instead for the…

Halloween Cosplay Countdown 3
This costume is the one I most seriously considered this year before I decided on one that better suited my budget, energy level, and actual Halloween plans. Behold, the last of my cosplay delusions: Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time. The enviable costume featured here is actually being modeled by deviantART user BiZria. Click the picture…

The Doubleclicks: Geek Girls with Nothing to Prove
For this week’s Web Wednesday post, I present The Doubleclicks, one of my favorite musical comedy groups on the internet. In their own words, The Doubleclicks are two sisters, a cello, and songs about dinosaurs, Jane Austen adaptations, dungeons and dragons. They are snarky, geeky, and sweet — and probably touring soon to a city…
