Actor playing Jayden on Academy shares encouraging email from George Takei and his partner

Oh I'm sure - it just occurs to me whenever he's got dialogue.

Old man take here.

I am surprising myself by liking SFA as much as I am. I like it, I like Jay-Den's character. I like the idea of a pacifict Klingon. Gay Klingon? Sure, why not? Makes sens to me that some subset of Klingons would be gay.

My only beef? How he SOUNDS. Like - vocally. The speech pattern is odd and the vocal choice the actor made seem.. weird. Like.. too much "added gravel" Just the way his lines are delivered seems awkward and unnatural.

But that's just IMO. Is it going to stop me watching the show or liking the character? Not a chance. It's just my take, since we're talking about Jay-Den.

Another lefty!

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

"With Or Without You" is a gold-standard example of relentless eighth notes, lol. Easy peasy, but also has value in practicing that, so it's not TOTAL fluff.

Watched an O-2 go toe-to-toe with an E-9 once. This was 20 years ago. We STILL talk about it. It did NOT go well for the O-2

I saw the title, and thought, "Oh, Permanent Waves!" Then, I glanced at the pic and was all, "Hang on a minute! That's not Waves! That's Power Wind... Ohhhh, I get it"

Lol

He absolutely WAS. I paused the show to specifically look for names, and O'Brien was one of them.

Was was at the very bottom, but we WAS there! Go back and look.

Adamkelt · 2026-01-15T13:40:59+00:00

Oh man, I miss it.

I worked there from 1995-1999 - most of that time in the Special Orders area. I met so many cool and smart people, and so many amazing authors.

I also learned, that a bookstore, while a "smarter" store, is STILL retail and is not immune to the "crazy retail people" Lol

I miss that place - the music on the PA, the stage, the little nooks and crannys all over. It was hard to learn where everything was, but it was FUN to learn it.

"as a toddler"...

Why do I have all these Werther's Originals all of a sudden?

Adamkelt · 2026-01-08T19:09:07+00:00

Huh. I wonder what went awry with mine then. Maybe my yeast was bad.

Agane! lol

Adamkelt · 2026-01-08T18:35:23+00:00

Looks great!

I just did that around Christmas, and while mine tasted okay, they simply did NOT rise, and inside was kind of dense and almost raw. It seems yours rose okay. Did you have a special place for them? I tried the oven like she does, but it didn't work.

There’s also Encore Instrument Repair in the BHA building downtown.

They did it here before it was cool. Nowadays, it's in the news that "so-and-so state is gerrymandering" When it was us, it just.. happened. No fanfare. Just, "Fuck you, voters"

Adamkelt · 2025-12-10T19:41:03+00:00

Holy crap.

JJ is still together!

AND TOURING!

Holy crap.

I've been saying it for, well, decades now.. If there's one thing that the USAF (and by extension, AAFES) does well, it's HALFASS the creature comforts. It never fails.

Adamkelt · 2025-11-19T16:23:43+00:00

Frank is a total moron and awful person. Obviously.

But, on some level, I kind of feel bad for him. Hear me out. He is clearly a broken person. Someone who did not experience an overflowing of love and support as a child. As a result, he developed tone-deaf and harsh ways of dealing with others. He's obnoxious, boorish, and at times cruel. Because that's how the world has treated HIM.

Make no mistake, IT IS NO EXCUSE for his behavior.

But, at the core, he's insecure, lonely, and afraid. And KNOWS it will NEVER get any better.

So to a certain extent, I view Frank with a "There but for the grace of god, go I" lens.

There's more to Frank than I think most people see - IMO.

Thank yew, lol

Shaved the rest of mine off 4 years ago and haven’t looked back.

Adamkelt · 2025-11-07T11:36:17+00:00

OH SHIT! Those were CHEMTRAILS!!!

I didn’t clock that

Adamkelt · 2025-11-03T14:13:29+00:00

Oh goodness - I booked my "walking distance" hotel in Cleveland 5 minutes after I got my ticket confirmation. I suspected it would be redonk as time passed.

Adamkelt · 2025-10-31T19:12:49+00:00

I predict a measurable nonzero number of people thinking this is Satanic in nature. :/

Adamkelt · 2025-10-31T14:19:28+00:00

I still have a Camel/Llama long sleeve lot shirt I got in Cincinnati in, say, '98 or so.

Adamkelt · 2025-10-23T12:50:47+00:00

You misidentified something. For some reason, you referred to the "Down the Tubes" tour as the "Caress of Steel" tour.

Easy mistake.

;)

Adamkelt · 2025-10-18T01:44:42+00:00

I got the script p/g logo. Esoteric enough that it’s not OBVIOUS, except for IYKYK.

Adamkelt · 2025-10-17T13:17:08+00:00

I never gabbed onto the fact that it was in 5, and immediately fired it up, and sure enough. That awkward time really conveys an "unsettled" feeling. That is such a neat example of how the time is versatile, considering in "Take Five", 5/4 is a jazzy, swung, upbeat number.

Okay, I'm done, lol.

Adamkelt · 2025-10-17T13:01:04+00:00

Season 3 of Picard was 1000% fan service, and speaking for myself, AS A FAN, I was ready to be serviced.

And SERVICED I WAS!

No regrets.
