Daylight Savings When?

Thank you, Internet, for letting me know that we jumped an hour ahead this morning! I had honestly forgotten all about Daylight Savings Time. I was up an hour early anyway, so I don’t feel effected that much. Why was I up early? Let’s just say that it wasn’t even 10 pm when I hit the sack last night. I caught one of the bugs that’s been going around and am thrilled that it decided to bite during the weekend (please note the sarcasm!) 😉

I tinkered with an old drawing I did in Paint (oh how I used to love that program!). I started a redraw of it, but since I’m not interested in elves anymore, I don’t know if my dissatisfaction with it is based purely on my disinterest in the genre or not. The new one originally had a similar background, but it didn’t look right, so I went for something simple.

New!

Old!

The Burpleberry Newsstand

Mr. Burple Berry successfully completed his second Fiction Friday on Twitter and has been last sighted with a remote, flicking through Earth channels. Word has it that he can’t find anything to watch. He is excited about the upcoming Earth holiday, St. Patrick’s Day, and was delighted when he found out that this week’s prompt is “green.” He looks forward to seeing you on the 15th!

Last week’s story (the prompt was “meteor”):

Sparkling in the crater it left, the celestial rock waits. A pair of small hands reaches out with a box. A smile whispers, “$100 on Ebay!”

SGS: Creativity!

Looking at Heather’s wonderful prompts, I just realized that April is almost over. Is it really the last Sunday of the month already!? How did that happen? Even with quarantine it feels like it just zipped by! This week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays theme hits close to home, and I am super excited about it. As you all know, I’m an artist who loves to draw, paint, write, and sew! 26th April – Creativity What does creativity in fandoms/geeky interests mean to you? EVERYTHING. Just look at Club High Castle! High Castle is the one fandom where I’ve felt like I’ve been allowed to flourish. The countless hours and dedication I’ve put into the things I’ve created has been appreciated by both fans and the cast and crew. I have never experienced anything like it, and it has genuinely made me happy over the years. I’ve been in other fandoms where art and things just slipped by unnoticed–not that I’m seeking attention, but knowing that there are people out there who enjoy my...

Cosplay Everyday!

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net! It’s cosplay everyday here in Club High Castle Cosplay is very near and dear to my heart. You should see the left half of my closet! Hanging there is an assortment of medieval dresses, Star Trek uniforms, and other odes to my favorite fandoms that I’ve collected over the years.

I was the QUEEN of cosplay in the early 2000s, and I loved every last second of it. As for my favorite character, that one is a tough one because every time I put on a costume, I’m having the time of my life, h...

Review: PKD’s Unfinished Sequel to TMITHC

I finally had a chance to read the two mysterious chapters of a scrubbed sequel to PKD’s The Man in the High Castle. I finished them a few days weeks ago, but their mark has yet to fade from the recesses of my mind. While I understand why he never finished it, I wish there was more. The chapters were accompanied by an essay and a fictional blurb about Hawthorn Abendsen. Naziism and The High Castle (1964) is an eye opener into the mind of PKD. He asks pointed questions about human nature and discusses Nationalism— no one is immune from falling into it. The essay reminds me of a quote ages ago when Season 2 of High Castle had just aired: I think we have is to humanize Nazis. If you indulge the fantasy that they were not human, then nothing is learned. This is human beings that did this. It is only humans that are capable of inhumanity.
