Project Grasshopper

I’ve been tweeting about it and posting photos, but since you can only convey so much through 140 characters, here’s a look at my The Man in the High Castle fan project! I got the idea from the awesome resistance radio packages the official marketing team (I’m guessing it was that department) sent out to people on Twitter (oh, and trust me, you would all know if I got one. The world would not be able to contain my screeches of delight!). I figured that the odds are stacked against one tiny person, so I decided to create my own little High Castle haven. Project Grasshopper! I ordered (and assembled) a retro shelf and am going to decorate it with themes from the show. This is going to be one of those on-going, I-will-add-to-it-piece-by-piece (aka, when my paychecks allow and as I find the perfect relics) projects. The first pieces I ordered: The beautiful shelf I ordered just for this project: This is where I initially planned to put it, but I’m not so sure now be...

Sisters Progress Update

I finished writing the first half of Sisters! Parts Zero (Innocence) and One (Survival) are done. Now comes the most difficult part of their lives yet. Part Two's theme is destiny. Allegiances are made and loyalties are tested. I am looking forward to powering through this section. If Innocence and Survival gave me FEELS, I can only imagine how Destiny is going to be!  A window into their world This is what their nightstands would look like in real life (click to view full size) Here is a closer look at my Kathy and Ann peg dolls

The Man in the High Castle Season 2 is a Masterpiece

Image
Let me tell you how amazing Season 2 of The Man in the High Castle was. I originally wanted to write an in-depth review that covered every single aspect of the new season right after I saw it, but I know it would take ages and be twice as long! I knew I’d enjoy it, but what I didn’t anticipate was how much I would love it and how emotional I’d get as I followed the characters along in their different journeys. I just want to say that I feel like THIS is the show I’ve been waiting for my entire life! I know that sounds a bit overboard, but I’m being honest. It truly is a masterpiece. I’ll just breach the surface on a few things and drop a huge spoiler alert . If you haven’t seen it yet and want to avoid spoilers, don’t read any further. The writers nailed everything that makes an excellent story, three dimensional characters and what I call ‘beautiful tragedies’ (just to name a few things they got right). You find yourself rooting for characters you’d never appreciate othe...

The Grasshopper Lies Heavy

Anyone who knows me and/or follows me on Twitter and Instagram knows what a huge fan of Amazon’s the Man in the High Castle I am. Season Two will be here December 16th, and I am hyped! I haven’t been this excited for the sequel of something since…well, since I can remember! All of the clips and sneak peaks they’ve released give me high hopes that Season Two will be just as awesome as Season One. Come December 16th, I’ll be tip toeing around the Internet and avoiding spoilers like the plague. Oh, I’ll be watching the first episode that night for sure! I’m not one to binge watch something in one sitting. I just need ten spoiler-free days, and that’s it! I’ll spare you the info dump on my avoid TMITHC spoilers plan and drop some doodles and things I’ve done since Season One! Who else is excited for season two?
