Club High Castle Pre-Pandemic

I have some huge news! I am moving out of state, off to seek adventures in new places. I am going where no MLC has gone before. I don’t think I’ll get a chance to update this blog before the big day, so this is a heads up that I will be gone from the Internet for a while (hopefully a very short while, as I love surfing). Mouse clicking is such a therapeutic sport. Before any move, there are always misadventures to be had in the labyrinth that is packing…Voldemort taking a bubble bath being one of them. I don’t know why he of all my action figures ended up getting an unknown substance on him, but he did. The bubble bath worked wonders, though he wasn’t too happy about it. Here we can see Alfred Bester and Loki exploring a stack of boxes. They escaped the newspaper wrapping and box stuffing frenzy. Don’t worry: they will be shoved into my purse. What’s a road trip without action figures? A geek must have her priorities straight.  I love wearing necklaces and rings, so I ...

I’ve always danced with subliminal—and sometimes flamboyant—messages, slinking, twirling and sliding my made-up propaganda across the ballroom floor. Coming up with fictional catch phrases and cheeky, dystopian propaganda is a fun pastime for me! When I was in grade school, my best friend and I would perform little plays in our driveways for the neighborhood kids. What’s a good play without some commercials? To this day, the jingle she and I came up with for our “wonderful shrinking machine” still rings strong, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. I suppose The Year is E0422 has a bit of dystopian flair to it. A chapter I was editing was begging for a little bit of tender loving care. The cure? I added a new scene involving a television series. The series is nothing but shameless propaganda in its purest form. Too bad my character only got to see a clip of it. The world needs to indulge in retro costumes, cheesy dialogue, and go-go boot clad cops every now and then. Here is a lit...

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Independence Day Eve! I have hot wings, French fries, and Coca Cola waiting and ready for tomorrow. Odds are that it will rain, but that won’t stop me from enjoying a good meal! I’ve been steadily making progress in reading through, editing, and making changes to my NaNo novel (the one I wrote in November). It now has a working title, and I decided to take a break from drawing fan art and do something original for a change. This is a part that doesn’t show up in the book. Aren’t I a big meanie for drawing something behind the scenes? ;) Gaming is serious business, especially when you’re sick, and there is a silly summer event going on.  Collecting items and adding unique accents to your outfits is THE business.  After all, one must look fashionable if she is fighting crime and trying to save the galaxy. The efforts of Saturday are displayed below! My character is proud of her flowers and awesome jet pack. Soaring through the ni...
