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 lord I was trying waaaaayyyyy to hard to sound smart. I probably came off as a clueless snob who didn’t know how to Internet or People.

Do you personally identify as a geek or nerd, or both?

Both? I mean it doesn’t get much more nerdy than wheeling AV equipment around… 😉

When did you first realise you were a geek/nerd?

This goes all the way back to high school, and I know I’m going to be dating myself here, but I believe it started with the 1995 film, Hackers. It didn’t come into full bloom until I was stationed at my first base and bought my first computer. Oh, all the endless nights staying up until 2 am! It was impossible to NOT be a geek if you were in the Comm Squadron. I remember a bunch of us having weekly LAN parties where we played Starcraft, ha!

What was your first geeky interest?

Computers

What was the first movie you watched this year?

I haven’t gone to the movie theatre in 2020 yet (and by the looks of things, I probably won’t be going anytime soon). I think the first movie I watched was Jojo Rabbit on a plane (I love flying certain airlines because it’s my chance to catch up on movies, ha ha!).

This was super fun, and if you want to participate, join me next week for another Geeky Sunday!

Return to Tomorrow: July

I am losing the War Against Busyism ; it is such an unfortunate truth, but that doesn’t mean I was idle while waiting in the trenches. I was able to scribble out a few things for the month of July. A patriotic prelude to my new avatar Pencil drawings are such fun! I have plans to make a digital version of this ink sketch. I’m a Fighter Pilot – The image I created my avatar out of. It’s too wide to post on here, so here’s the link! 7/3 books read. Thank FSM for lunch breaks.

High Castle is Coming to SDCC Again!

News on the High Castle Front! High Castle is going to be at San Diego Comic Con again! Going off of last year’s SDCC appearance, we can expect some hints about Season 4, a release date, and a trailer! I have no idea what to predict about S4, so I’m going to hold all of my theories and speculations until after the panel. I CAN’T WAIT! Yet, it is also a bittersweet feeling knowing that this is the final season of the show that has been a huge part of my life since 2015. Never before has a TV show captured my imagination like Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle. Here are the details as posted by the official @HighCastleTV Twitter account: When: Sat, July 20th at 4:15 PM I am assuming this is PST, so it will be 7:15PM for us East Coasters. Where: Room 6A I truly wish I could be there! Costume designer Cate Adair posted some details on Instagram, and I WISH I COULD TELEPORT THERE. Okay. Deep breath 😉 There will be a costume designers guild booth (#734) in the main conv...

A Quick Post

I have some good news! The deadline for the contest has been extended to 25 May! The cover is waiting patiently for 31 May. I am excited about all of this! Part of me is tempted to post the evolution of the cover from the first sketches, to the first design, and finally to the final image. It is crazy to think that the idea I had in 2010 has turned into a full length novel! Well, enough cryptic words about the cover! Here is what I’ve been up to lately in the world of art: If Babylon 5 was an anime…and had a spin off series dedicated to the Psi Corps! ** NOTE ** I used google translate for the words “Psi” and “Corps,” so the translation might not be 100% accurate. I periodically run drawings for free commissions on Facbook! This was for the winner of my St. Patrick’s Day drawing. More Babylon 5 fanart. This is one of the advantages of painting, if you want to decorate your walls with something obscure, you can! Sparkly space hi...
