Patrick Stewart To Star In New ‘Star Trek’ Series As Jean-Luc Picard On CBS All Access

It’s official — Patrick Stewart is returning to the Star Trek franchise. The acclaimed Shakespearean actor is set to headline a new Star Trek series for CBS All Access, reprising his iconic Next Generation character, Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The project, which has been rumored since the June announcement of a Star Trek universe expansion with new series, was just unveiled by Stewart himself in a surprise appearance at the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention (watch the video above).

This is pretty exciting and I’m glad that it’s not a reboot. Shows need to be moving forward and not retreading familiar territory. Could you imagine if Picard went to the same planets and told the same stories? No, because he wouldn’t. He’s out, pulling down his shirt, ordering tea, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations. New, new, new.

What’s not exciting is the CBS All Access bullshit. After calculating the subscription plan I’d be paying $100 for one season of Star Trek. Fuck those guys. It’d be cheaper to just buy it on DVD.

Today’s moonflower. They’re blooming everyday now through August if memory serves.

Peeps, for whatever reason I needed to listen to the Who Made Who disc this morning. So with that said here’s your kick-you-around-the-world Monday jam.

The title track rhythm guitar and bouncing baseline soothes my soul just like it did back in the late 80s. And then the lead comes in about 40 seconds to frenzy up the song just a little. It’s really hard for me to sit still when this song comes on.

“Ain’t nobody told you” — that one lines sums up the bigger picture of me missing the manual. For life.

She’s yellow because she’s just a baby. She’s blurry because the fucking breeze wouldn’t quit blowing.

Audio (MP3): 20180805 - When I be my best self

I’ve been working on my magazine pretty much since I got up, trying to get the July issue all done and off to the printer. Sometimes the pages and layouts just spill onto my screen effortlessly. It’ll sound kinda corny but when I do my best creative work it feels like the cosmos is directing me. That whatever I’m doing just comes out all on it’s own.

Same goes with writing or whatever, too. They’re not my words, they come from somewhere else. It’s like being funny. Everybody knows that we’re not funny when we’re trying to be.

Peeps, I’m going to be speaking about recovery stuff tonight at this place at 7pm.

If you got nothing going on, you should come!

I’m working at home today, sitting at my kitchen table with my MacBook.

Generally I put the TV on when I’m home working and today I have a PBS show on about the Rockies. I learned that if you rotated the mountain range horizontally, it’d stretch from New York to California.

I also learned that big horned rams kick each other in the nuts when it’s mating season.

While searching for the show online I also learned, of course, that somebody’s got a YouTube video: Big horned rams play kick ball →

Serendipity, peeps.

What’s cool about flowers is that I don’t expect nor want them to be anything more than what they are.

Not a bad goal for people, too.
