House plants are so versatile. Children love them… so do spiders looking for a home and cats looking for a place to take a dump. House plants provide beauty, fresh oxygen, and yes… even a place to vomit. So treat them well!

For some reason they always leave this part out of the Viking movies… livestock in the house. Mead halls, presumably, could be quite cozy during the long winter months.
I know it’s been a long time coming and thanks to everyone who has been anticipating Baldur’s mead hall since I mentioned it back in January. Ultimately Baldur decided to go with a traditional design for his new home. Of course, what does this word “traditional” really mean? Seems like whether you are talking food, religion, politics, or architecture, everyone has their own definition. In any case, Baldur is quite happy with his modest new home and Odin is wondering what he did to piss off the Norns.
Today is the fall equinox.
Mjolnir has an independent spirt. All magical weapons do. But sometimes they let their excitement to run free and make their own decisions get the best of them. Lesson one as an independent contractor: never agree to do a “job” before you know what it is.
Frigg explains the value of direct communication to Baldur. Always express your wishes in clear, direct terms. Terms the Loki in your life can understand. Viking terms.
The saga continues…
Baldur tries to understand… for “crimes” against society, he is going to be whipped in public while Loki simply goes free? Loki explains, no, it’s not like that at all. He will be the one whipping Baldur. Fortunately he will spread the blows over both cheeks.
Yes, Loki has been going to the dark side lately. But what do you expect from the god who is destined to bring Ragnarok upon the Nine Worlds? I may need to change my avatar… it’s not like I support this kind of thing!
Baldur’s case has been reviewed by judicial counsel. The counsel has taken into consideration his young age and that this is his first offense. He will be let go with a mere warning this time…
Fifty lashes.
Loki laughs.
Just how often does Mjolnir run amok? Only when Thor has had a little too much to drink. Baldur is understandably concerned…
Thor explains that he can’t use Mjolnir when he is passed out… so why shouldn’t Mjolnir use himself?
But isn’t Thor worried that one of these days he might not see Mjollnir again? Not really — and you can thanks the dwarves for this:
He always comes back.
Baldur and Thor continue to rot in Heimdall’s jail. Fortunately, Baldur sees a familiar shape on the horizon… Mjolnir, returning home from his killing spree vacation in Jotunheim! Now they will be rescued for sure!
Mjolnir whooshes past the jail and sails over the mountains. After Mjolnir runs amok killing giants, Thor explains, he likes to pop over to Alfheim and smash a few elves to wind down. Yep, it’s magical weapon Miller Time.
