I have been royally slacking on my blog. So I still haven't posted the muses and their loci. I am a failure.
Erato: Thermostat, heat (erotic poetry)
Clio: Chalk board, history (history)
Urania: Screen, Mysteries of the Sky (which I took as a liberal arts major so I see where that's coming form), (astronomy)
Thalia: "Quiet" desk, loud (comedy)
Polyhymnia: Projector, hymns (sacred songs)
Terpsichore: Brown desk, table dance (dance)
Calliope: Bulletin board (representative muse)
Euterpe: Snowman, Calvin and Hobbes (song)
Melpomene: "F" thing, Mel Gibson and pomegranate (tragedy)
