Notes

What’s this about Conversational Klingon?

[Picture of Katie as a Centauri]

Katie and I (Kelson) were driving back from Loscon, an annual Los Angeles-area science fiction convention. (We have quotes from the con, too.) Katie had stayed up late the night before finishing her hall costume, a Centauri lady from Babylon 5, and we had both had gotten up early that morning to put on the costume and makeup. Centauri women shave their heads except for a pony tail, so she had to put on a bald cap and blend it in with her skin tone. Even with practice, this took a while.

So she’s sleeping in the passenger seat as I’m driving down the I-5, there’s only the two of us in the car, and I’m not listening to the radio. It’s totally quiet except for the sound of traffic. Then, out of nowhere, I hear her say — quite distinctly — “Yes, I have one for Conversational Klingon.”

I said something like, “Huh?” At which point she woke up and said “Did I say that out loud?” It turned out someone in a dream she’d been having had asked her about language tapes.

Incidentally, she won an award for the costume.
