About Me

Thanks in great part to the alliance between the Empire and the Federation many Terran customs have insidiously crept into the Klingon psyche. One such example is "Klingon Karaoke". It originated at parties on Ty' Gokor as farcical imitations of Terrans at dimplomatic functions. Called "chechjay' terra'ngan" it caught on with the younger warriors and now has spread to night spots throughout the empire. Qaolin is the recognized daharr master of this absurd art form translating and twisting the lyrics of terran bommey and setting them to the karaoke classics heard in any dive where earthers frequent.

Best Birthday ever

Last night was fantastic! The summer heat was muted on this evening. Wallace and I arrived at Dante's earlier than was necessary; the doors wouldn't open for 2 hours but that didn't matter. Ensc...
