Well I failed. No daily alcohol, rarely play games and my step count is clearly higher.

I had a comment about Calvinball I was going to make… but I can’t recall the topic of the article I read years ago anymore that mentioned it.

Or they can paralyze me.

Hint, hint; wink, wink.

It’s called the warp core. Go be an engineer.

🤦‍♂️ Biological sex.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 14 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

All genders?

These really should be called sex reveals.

Wow, they got the title wrong. It’s “All Good Things…” Secondly they incorrectly stated that Fallour is a HBO series.

But how did you get a coconut in Europe?

This is me almost daily… just no drinking.

Hugh you see me, Hugh you don’t.

 
 

It is a Displate poster of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D senior crew. This was unexpected. I only see this person in passing for an hour before I leave (they work overnight). Trekkies really are great people.

Also the card they got is of Kirk with stickers inside.

If you want to see a better quality image of the artwork (the poster is metal), here is a link to the Displate website.

Sharing my photo of me at Vasquez Rocks that I mentioned in a different post.

Looks much smaller in person. Didn’t get a chance to get upclose. I was cutting it close on time to make it to Universal Studios Hollywood for Fan Fest Nights (it was a 2 hour drive in stop and go traffic for me).

But um, yay! I got to see the Famous Rock (the formation featured throughout Trek). There is another formation called Witch’s Hat (for looking like a witch’s hat).

 
 

So I wanted to start off by saying, yesterday was my birthday, the reason I chose to go on the second to last night of Fan Fest Nights. Earlier in the day I drove out to Vasquez Rocks (approximately 40 miles from Universal Studios). It was such an amazing night.

For those unaware, Fan Fest Nights is a new (first year) after hours event at Universal Studios Hollywood celebrating fandoms. Specific to the event, not preexisting were: Star Trek, Dungeon & Dragons, Back to the Future (the backlot had the entire Hilly Valley town square built for the event), One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen. This event included themed walking attractions (aka shows), characters (photo ops), food, drinks, and merchandise.

For Star Trek we got Red Alert a walking attractions that emulated the attraction from Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas years ago. Red Alert set in 2403, where you travel from Spaceport Los Angeles to Athan Prime to visit the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (featuring the actual bridge set from Picard season 3) located at the Fleet Museum. Depending on when you went during the night, different actors/aliens would be seen. Among the species were Human, Trill, Bajoran, Andorian, Vulcan, Orion and one I couldn't name (I swear was Elaysian but didn't make sense due to gravity). At certain points actors would look for guest wearing Picard era uniforms (like myself) and ask them to check their Combadge.

Aside from Red Alert, the park featured Quark's Cafe for themed food and beverage and Ten Forward for additional alcoholic beverages. I had a Cardassian Dog, Vulcan Fritters and Bajoran Hasperat (I forgot to get a photo of the hasperat since it wasn't available when they opened for general admission). As for the beverages I had a Orion Hurricane (real delaq not included) from Quark's and Ceti Eel Margarita at Ten Forward (gummy eels in it).

I bought myself one piece of merch, Ceti Eel earrings. I need to get my right ear pierced now.

The video linked is my recording of Red Alert.

 

This recipe comes from once again The Star Trek Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. The best part of this recipe is getting to pick your own seeds and cheese!

That look. (startrek.website)

This box and toy itself are showing its age. The view screen is hard to rotate, the battery compartment has erosion (but no batteries), the strap is very short. I wanted this all for the looks (cosplay), till the day I might be able to purchase The Wand Company’s Tricorder (probably never at this point; 😕).

The recipe comes from The Star Trek Cookbook by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. My first time but I’m going to make more. This batch has orange extract. I will need to increase the amount of extract.

UPDATE: I made blue lemon this time.

In the screenshot, from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (season 15 episode 6), the character Charlie Kelley is talking to a person speaking Irish, while unaware they understand and are able to speak the language.
