After last week’s fun with that video, I went and looked through my unfinished Deep Dish Nine folder to see if there was anything I could finish quickly. There doesn’t seem to be anything I can just patch once and ship out the door, but I do have some snips and bits you guys might like to see from an ill-fated adventure in which Julian takes a bunch of his friends to the mall to help him find a gift for Garak. They text him to send him ideas.
It’s largely a disaster.
The Tenctonese alphabet from Alien Nation. Graphic by Jeff Lee. It seems to be missing the clicks, which feature prominently in spoken Tenctonese. Read more about the Tenctonese language here and here. I’m disappointed to find the creators never constructed a “real” language like Klingon or Elvish for the Newcomers.
But I’m much more disappointed that there’s hardly any Alien Nation content online. This is actually the first post on Tumblr tagged “Tenctonese.” I know it’s been 17 years since the last film and 19 since the last novel, but I thought a series this strong would have more staying power.

I’m an apprentice tattoo artist. An artist who owns a few shops invited me to their team.
I’ve got a long way to go. I’m still learning basic shading techniques. Working with a tattoo pen adds depth to the traditional flat plane I’m used to working on.
One is never too old to learn a new skill.
At times I feel like a complete newb.
So, here is a meme that I love. I’m sharing it for everyone who is learning something new.
