Careful With That Selfie!

The Command Deck has a special guest today!

Agent Jadelynn Jackson from the RIA (who is also the star of my upcoming story, Stars or Stripes) has a special message for you all.

Dear Self,
I must not take selfies with my empire-issue chit card. I must not take selfies with my empire-issue chit card….and et cetera.

In my defense, it’s not everyday you get to go into a classified area with relics from the past. By past, I don’t mean ten years ago. Nope. This was some Grade A, pre-Great War stuff.

I mean who could blame me? You have to have a Level 5 clearance just to get near the thing! The selfie would have been just an innocent file named something boring stored in my chit for a few hours until I got home to transfer it.

But nope. I had to mess up big time. My boss laughed the entire time he was reprimanding me. *sigh* So how did an innocent selfie blow up in my face?

It’s easy.

An agent sent out a mass message, warning everyone about a potential twelp situation several miles away. That same agent sent me a private message because I was closest to the “fun.” Well…My thumb slipped, and when I was trying to swipe my selfie away, I hit “Reply All,” and my lovely mug was sent to the entire 10th Eastern Command.

Charming, I know.

I wonder how many times it got forwarded before Headquarters purged everyone’s chits…Ah, my smiling face and that devious little act of mine…Well, here’s to you, Level 4 security clearances and below. You got to see a rare artifact; you only had to put up with my face.

The lesson here is simple: don’t abuse your chit card privileges, and don’t hit the “Reply All” button. But really…why do they still keep it RIGHT next to the regular “Reply” button? Not that I was going to send my selfie to the agent in question or anything, but still! Why?

Stars or Stripes is coming soon to a Command Deck near you!

Did we mention that it’s going to be free?

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...
