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 work is an amazing

SGS: Kings and Queens

It’s Sunday! Time for another round of Seriously Geeky Sundays! Before I dive in, I probably never thought I’d ever utter these words, but I miss going into the office. I miss walking around on my lunch breaks (it is beautiful there!), and I miss the convenience of the lunch carts and coffee shops.  19th April – Kings & Queens Who is your favourite female royal character? I sat down and thought hard about this one because there are just so many that I’ve loved and looked up to throughout the years. I’ve narrowed it down, so I’ll start with the princess who I looked up to as a child.  Princess Leia – She was beautiful, smart, cunning, and fierce in her own way. What little girl wouldn’t want to be her? She was the definition of awesome.  Daenerys Targaryen –  I have a tendency to like problematic characters, and Daenerys is no exception. She became a favorite during Season 7. I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I loved her character arc and how she descended into madness. I on

Seriously Geeky Sundays: Easter & Spring

Easter 2019, about to board the train from Vancouver, BC to Seattle For the first time in several years, I am home for Easter. Normally I am on the West Coast for work and would be taking a train to see my sister or father (or aunt/uncles!). While I am sad that I won’t get to see them this year, I am thankful that everyone is safe and healthy, and hopefully I’ll be able to see them over the summer. Because I’m normally on the other side of the country, I forgot to stock up on Easter candy and Easter things!  Without further ado, here is this week’s Seriously Geeky Sunday! 12th April – Easter & Spring Who is your favourite bunny? Frank the Rabbit in Donnie Darko…Okay, I’ll pick a less creepy favorite! Bugs Bunny was *the* rabbit when I was a kid. Looney Tunes was the most exciting thing on the planet for 5 year old me, ha ha! Spring is a time of rebirth so thinking about fictional worlds and characters; what does rebirth mean to you? A second chance A chance to try again–to keep try

Seriously Geeky Sunday: Beginnings

Hello everyone! I stumbled upon a great idea: Seriously Geeky Sundays by Just Geeking By . She has several months worth of prompts to have fun with every week. Let’s get started! 5th April – Beginnings Let’s start with the basics; who are you and what do you do? I am the owner and eccentric bartender of my fictitious bar, Club High Castle. Just call me Mishi, Luna, or Grasshopper. Any of those is fine.  As for what I do in the real world, I am an IT Specialist (this roughly translates to if it is anything involving electricity, I’m your gal). I am fortunate to have a job where I can travel (no traveling at the moment, of course!).  When did you start blogging? Was 2010 really ten years ago? When did that happen? I’ve been blogging off and on for the past ten years. I feel like I have two settings: blog all the things or *crickets.* I remember when I first started out that I felt like I had to try and be a witty, literary genius. Don’t ask me to go back and read posts from that era–good
