It's Looking Green

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

When you’ve been sick for nearly a week and get hit by something else the second you feel better, cranky doesn’t even scratch the surface. I’m afraid I don’t have anything profound to talk about or any new art to share this week. However, my week long dance with two left feet and a bottle of meds opened my eyes up to something. Federal employees get 13 paid sick days a year. There is no Federal law that guarantees employees in the private sector get anything….and I’ll leave it at that.

Time to liven this post up with something positive! Since my mind is drawing a blank on the subject at the moment, I dug up something fun.

Little wingless dings are such a blast! They know how to cheer a person up.

The Burpleberry News Reel 

Mr. Burple Berry was last spotted chasing down a rainbow in search of an elusive pot of gold.  One anonymous reader was able to snap this photo of him:

Before his disappearance, he dropped off the prompt for next week’s Fiction Friday. He’s always had an interest in “the moon.” The Burpleberry News Reel looks forward to reading any and all 140 character stories revolving around the moon. Perhaps this past Fiction Friday sheds some light on Mr. Burple Berry’s whereabouts.


The grass is green, full of clovers. Run, run! My short legs barely keep up.  Huffing, I lower my pot just in time; here’s the rainbow.

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. The oldest thing I have in there is probably from the 90s.  23rd August – Cosplay It’s international Cosplay Day this weekend and we’re joining in the celebrations by chatting about all things cosplay! Have you cosplayed before? If yes, which character was your favourite? If no, which character would you like to cosplay as? You have no idea, Grasshopper 😉 You just opened an entire world about me. 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. Rufus Sewell on portraying his character, John Smith (2016).  Reading it (and the subsequent chapters) made certain aspects of the show much more clea...
