11:33 am - Sometimes I despair of my brain
No, really.

A couple of days ago, as I was putting on my

Half-Blood Prince T-shirt, my brain gave me Severus Snape: Agent of SHIELD. WTF?

This morning, I woke up from a rather good dream - I was with someone who'd just made a special cake for some sort of feast-day, though I can't now remember what it was, but the cake was a sort of flat gingerbread-type thing, with sticky-up pieces of gingerbread showing through a cheesecake or cream-cheese or whipped cream topping and I think some fruit, and it looked yummy, and I was just about to have a slice of it when the alarm went off... Grrr - and having already woken up in the middle of the night to go pee and then spent at least 20 minutes awake considering how I might best construct a knitted Loki doll - preferably to the older comic-book version as it would be somewhat easier to knit than the new movie version, much as I like that (the horned helmet would be so much better, I never really liked the ponytail at the back of the comics one) - yes, well, THEN the alarm went off just after 8 for me to go to the gym, I rolled out of bed, and my half-awake brain offered me My Little Loki.

NO. I can't make one of those. And as I remarked on Twitter, it would have to have 8 legs.

Oh dear, I wish I could draw.

Also, Loki being the latest *slurp* obsession, I have been reading rather a lot of Loki-centric fanfic, among other things, and am now frustrated because not that long ago (last week?) I saw a gif-set/pic-set somewhere where Thor keeps putting his hand at the back of Loki's head, and can I find it now? Can I Hel.

Also also, I realised I have to re-read "Myths My Great-Granddaughter Taught Me" by Fritz Leiber, and have found the anthology containing it; and then I remembered another Norse legends story by (I think?) Edmond Hamilton (and it took me ten minutes this morning to dredge the name out of the back of my mind and the internet!), which I can't remember the title of but thought I'd typed up somewhere years ago. Well, if I did, it must be on paper, because it ain't on the computer; and I can't remember which anthology that one's in. ETA: Found it - "What's It Like Out There and other stories", by Edmond Hamilton, and the story is called "Twilight of the Gods".

Also x3, somewhere I'm sure I had either a picture or the link to the picture someone sent me (?) of a knitted Loki, or of Loki knitting, or something, and can I find that either? Guess.

Bloody Trickster gods.
