Well the words are nice to read
Even the new STD Klingonisch?Ich spreche kein Französisch. Aber Ich verstehe Klingonisch.
It sounds like a cat puking up a hairball.
What an unfortunate initialism the new Star Trek has, eh.

At this last game, because I rotate hands and positions from one sparing round to the next, I was eventually asked by someone if I'm left or right handed. I've also realized when I write backwards (I decided my character would do that because of my own fascinations with Da Vinci) my hand writing is much better than when I write forwards.
Also while I was sparing against one guy, he was pretty much as stiff as a board, which left me confused for a moment when he got into the same "Arya Water Dance" position I was in because he's much too slow for such a thing, and under the "king's rules" of the sparing we was doing it basically gave him a few more seconds of life before I eviscerated his belly just underneath his plate armor, spilling his innards out onto the ground.
And this new player, a kid around his early teens, in a suitable new player costume that still looks kind of modern, he asked me about going out in public dressed like he was. Me, I had my hooded jacket on with hood up, leather trench coat over that, fingertip-less gloves, boots, all solid monochrome black, and makeup that can very easily be mistaken for blackface, and I told him bluntly I go into the gas stations dressed as I that and pay no mind to the stares and glares. He seemed abit taken aback by that answer, as though perhaps he may have been expecting a more sympathetic answer.

I must be weird then. I hated gym class, but I've always enjoyed all the feel good endorphins brought on by a good workout, and that in-general just feeling healthier and better that you get from regular physical activity.Many nerds became exercise averse after the traumas of gym class.

But still odd I can out perform like I do, as I can't even stand long enough to work a 6-hour shift on my feet (4 is even really pushing it), and I sit through most of these games, and even go lie down on a picnic table once or twice throughout the day so my legs can get better rested and stretched out and all the stress taken off my knees, and usually end up missing a good scene or fight or two because I'm having to rest.
And then I get back out on the field and express my misanthropy in a way that is a couple steps above vicarious by chopping players up, hacking and slashing at them, whacking their heads off,
and moving too fast for them to hit (a few times now I've seen that "old look" I used to get back in gym class playing dodge ball when someone would get frustrated because I was just too fast for them and would almost nearly always dodge the balls thrown at me).
The Humpty-Dumpty syndrome would result, however...
Spellcheck would not accept Humpity-Dumpity. It wants it to be Humphrey-Dumpy...

In my defense, Klingonisch may not be correct, but the Germans do add -isch to many "foreign to them" languages.

In case I was unclear, I was mocking the new version of Klingons.\
They all sound like they have cotton balls in their mouths.

Surely someone jests in that they would call that a Klingon. If they are serious, death via foam latex sword is not something I'm above (you can actually hit pretty hard with them, hard enough to damage internal organs).

After my last knee surgery, I made the mistake of getting a job before my knee was fully ready, and basically I ended up having to "hard quit" because the surgeon nor physical therapist nor doctor would write me a note saying I needed more time to heal. I could do that line of work now (pizza delivery, and what got me was all the standing around washing dishes), but now I'm just counting down the days until I start looking for employment in California (I can't right now as my mom is helping me with the cost of moving but she won't help me before the holidays are over).
Lesson of the story? Shame on you for trying if you're not beyond 100% certain your body is able to resume such activities.

After 11 months of inactivity my body is not accustomed to any activity
other than the rehab I have been doing. Which is why I have only been working for about 2 hours a day, I had to start somewhere.
I am quite familiar with doctors and therapist insisting that I am ready to resume work when I knew I wasn't.
I have had surgery done to both of my knees and rather than riding a bicycle or climbing stairs like they wanted me to do I found that I needed rest.
Yes that was a hard lesson to learn.

I only watched the premier, but I found this reboot to be almost completely unrelated to the original series or any of the spinoffs, which did reflect pretty well Roddenberry's vision of the future. STD is like the LOTR movies...and frankly, all but the original three star wars movies...everyone is just plain pissed at each other (for no apparent or good reason), and it's all a pretext to have lots of big fights using CG special effects.
What killed STD for me, though, was the apparently main character contacting Sarek, who just happened to be available right at that moment...bad enough of a contrivance...but then Sarek reluctantly telling her that the secret of the Vulcans' dealing with the Klingons was to fire first whenever they were encountered...yep, over hundreds of years, the Vulcans neglected to mention to Starfleet this unimportant little tidbit of intelligence...and of course, no one else in the Federation had ever stumbled on this bit of tactical wisdom...yeah, that works...

How can you fire first on a cloaked vessel?
Well, everyone knows that they've got to decloak to fire weapons...of course, in OST, it was the Romulans who developed cloaking, which was not revealed until the Kirk and Spock Age...already a violation of the Rodenberry universe...
And the Klingons keeping the bodies of their dead and burying them in crypts encasing their ships...where ALL OF THE KLINGONS IN THE GALAXY ARE LIVING? Oh Come On!
Today for supper it was herbed popcorn and cake.
