The Name of the Place...

…Rivendell 5!
Ever since I watched The Hobbit, I’ve had a case of LordoftheRingsitis.

Symptoms of LordoftheRingsitis include daydreaming about elves, dwarves, and/or hobbits, bringing up Middle Earth in as many conversations as possible, the constant doodling, drabbling, and babbling of things related to Lord of the Rings, and making LotR themed blog posts.

Causes: reading the books, watching the movies, and/or catching a glimpse of anything involving LotR.

Cure: at this time, there is none. If you contract LordoftheRingsitis, the best way to cope is to get a piece of it out of your system (see below sample).

Rivendell 5
A crossover of Babylon 5 and Lord of the Rings
Babylon 5 was created by J. Michael Straczynski
Lord of the Rings was created by J. R. R. Tolkien
I’ve been meaning to update my blog’s banner and background, so I figured today would be a good day to go ahead and do that! It coincides with the Sci-Fi theme of Rivendell 5. The untitled novel I’m working on is also Sci-Fi, so why not throw a huge Sci-Fi blog fest? I’m still in the process of revising it. I took Monday of last week off just to squeeze some time in. Revising and editing on the back of a full time job is not easy!

The Burpleberry Newsstand

Mr. Burple Berry is off dreaming somewhere. Last week’s #FictionFriday followed the the theme,
“Purple unicorns, sparkling kittens, and ninja eagles…The alarm didn’t go off!  She was late for class and missed a pop quiz. Study time.”
The wingless ding is thinking about doing next week’s #FictionFriday on the fly!

Saving the world with High Castle and Field Team 6

Tuesday I had the awesome pleasure of joining the Axis of Good (Joel de la Fuente, Rufus Sewell, Chelah Horsdal, Stephen Root, Jason O’Mara, Frances Turner, Michael Gaston, Sebastian Roché, and Isa Hacket) with Field Team 6 for an evening of textbanking.  Let me tell you about the absolute blast I had! I didn’t know what to expect–was I nervous going in? You bet I was! I am probably the shyest person you’ll ever meet…until you get to know me, that is!  The week started off with absolute chaos, as 2020 weeks often do. I spent that day doing a bunch of house projects which involved a lot of nit and grit. I scrambled to get my laptop ready in time without bothering to fix my hair and without any attempt at looking presentable. Normally fans are muted and shuffled to the back of these things. Well….I clicked the link and HELLO WORLD! Hello Joel in particular because I know you saw me fumbling around and flustered! 😉  After a minute or so, I managed to turn my...

Not So Lazy Sunday

Last weekend was extremely cold, and this weekend was absolutely perfect! The weather is busy trying to make up its mind, I suppose. I took advantage of the wonderful temperatures! I got a lot done and finished something I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks. Here is a preview of my miniature Bester plushie! (I plan to do a longer post about him later on this month). That’s my cell phone with him to give you a baseline as to how small he is. We started our first garden today! It’s small because we are just starting out. I’m hoping I have some of that green thumb my father and grandmother have. They are masters of growing things and always have awesome gardens. The plants without flowers are various peppers and one strawberry plant (I have no idea if strawberries will grow in this climate, but they are too delicious not to find out).

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...
