Club High Castle

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net! I had so much fun with this one! 24th – Geek Pride Tomorrow is Geek Pride Day and today’s questions are all about what being a geek means to you. What is your Geek origin story? (How did you become a geek?) I thought long and hard about this one, and it goes all the way back to high school. One of my friends was an avid manga/anime fan and introduced me to it.Her backpack was always full of manga, which she always let us borrow. I remember slipping manga inside my textbooks and reading them during class, ha ha! Once we were hooked, she introduced us to Sailor Moon, and let my origin story begin! We gave each other nicknames and also a sailor scout. The nickname has stuck with me to this day! Mishi That’s right! That’s where my nickname came from. I feel like I’ve had it my entire life at this point! My sailor scout was Sailor Neptune because of my wavy hair. It all started from ther

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net! Okay, so I love food. I really, really love food. I love making it, and I love eating it! I made bread, cake, and ice cream on Thursday, and let me tell you A Thing: delicious!  17th – Food If you could have any fictional food item become reality, what would it be?  Romulan ale! I have always been tantalized by its blue color and its highly intoxicating content, ha! For those of you who have known me for a while, you’ll remember I visited my mother in August and found a mysterious bottle of Romulan ale (my mother and step dad don’t watch Star Trek or anything sci-fi related, so it was bizarre). I wish I had drank it. When I was there in February for my uncle’s memorial, it was still there, and I promised myself that I’d drink it when I visit in April. Well COVID-19 happened, and you know the rest. Hopefully it’s still there because I really want it and am kicking myself for not drin

It’s time for another Seriously Geeky Sunday brought to you by the creative Heather at geeking-by.net ! This week’s topic is fictional families, and in just case you need a reminder that it is Mother’s Day in the U.S., this is that reminder . 😉 Call your mothers!  10th – Families Who is your Favourite fictional family? Hands down, the Smiths from The Man in the High Castle. Need I say more? 😉 Who is your favourite fictional unconventional family? It is a tie between the crew of Star Trek: TNG and of Star Trek: DS9. I love the dynamics between everyone. I often day dream that I am on the bridge of the Enterprise, a part of that family, eager to join them on away missions or am walking along the promenade of DS9 beside Sisko, laughing as we head to lunch.  Which off-screen/non-played family member would you like to learn more about? Bester’s wife from Babylon 5. We know next to nothing about her, and I want to know what she’s like, how she reacted to Bester turning one of his prisone

If this week’s Seriously Geeky Sundays prompt has taught me anything about myself, it is that I don’t pay much attention to fictional news outlets in television, movies, and books! …But I sure as hell love making them up, especially ones that are obnoxious dystopian propaganda echo chambers.  Wading through my various favorite fandoms, I came to realize that most of the fictional news that I wanted to feature in this post were ones I made up! Sadly, most of them exist only in my head without any sort of eye catching graphics. However, here are some posters I made a while back! Star Trek: DS9 Babylon 5 3rd May – Freedom of the Press What is your favourite fictional media outlet? KVWN (Channel 4) from The Anchorman (2004 film). I can’t help but love a dose of humor!  Warning: strong language near the end My second favorite fictional news network is INN from Babylon 5!  Who is your favourite fictional journalist? Karen Page from Daredevil (and the Punisher), the TV shows. I love how she
