November finally

Posted on November 3, 2016 by Steve

Well the ‘finally’ is my bit covering the header in the spirit of Star Trek. The second incarnation of Voyager when they ditched Kes and replaced her with a former Borg. I had stopped watching the show by then but thought it … Continue reading →

Alright September!

Posted on September 2, 2016 by Steve

This month it’s the show which helped launch the short-lived UPN (Paramount Nnetwork I know a lot of people like to dump on Star Trek Voyager but it was a difficult premise to maintain, namely over how do you replace lost … Continue reading →

This month’s header, DS9 final

Posted on August 2, 2016 by Steve

No luck finding a picture of the seventh season’s cast that was wide enough for the header but I think I made a good try. Not sure why the hell a space station would need a counselor when they’re orbiting … Continue reading →

Belated July Header

Posted on July 16, 2016 by Steve

Now is my favorite commanding officer…Sisko! He’s not my choice to be weird or contrary. To me Benjamin Sisko is the most human of the starship/starbase commanders. Unlike the others, he was married and he almost quit Starfleet because his wife … Continue reading →

For June, kind of a part two

ST:NG in their final TV incarnation of the primary crew wearing the nicer uniforms with the high collars.

A new month, new header for Star Trek

Posted on May 1, 2016 by Steve

For May we’re finally up to the first incarnation of Star Trek: The Next Generation which took up the torch from Kirk’s crew in 1987 on TV. The first season was shaky thanks to Roddenberry recycling his less interesting ideas from Star Trek: … Continue reading →

Output has been low this year

Posted on April 17, 2016 by Steve

For my faithful readers, thanks for sticking with me over these years and no, I’m not throwing in the towel. Picayune is just undergoing a lull. It hasn’t been for a lack of material. I mastered the art of finding something … Continue reading →

Happy April!

Posted on April 2, 2016 by Steve

I decided to let April Fool’s Day go. Miette may be 17 but she’s hanging in there with her thyroid issue and Apple turning 40 didn’t really inspire much. Couldn’t think of a good prank neither. The header above is … Continue reading →

Welcome to March Star Trek

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Steve

This month’s header is the third incarnation of <i>Star Trek</i>. You may recognize (unfortunately) the uniforms and cast from the horrible 1979 film which could’ve prevented the story from continuing until Nicholas Meyer and Harve Bennett saved the franchise. It … Continue reading →

Happy Ash Wednesday!

Posted on February 10, 2016 by Steve

Groovy! Remember to carry your boomstick! It’s also mandatory in Texas thanks to the genius of my state’s legislature/governor thinking this will lower crime. In all seriousness though, it’s the kick of to lent which then puts Easter 40 days away. … Continue reading →

Hiatus continues, darned pollen…

Posted on February 2, 2016 by Steve

You’d think allergy/sinus issues would take a break during the Winter months. Not a chance in Central Texas. I guess now is when the trees decide to share their output with the bees, hornets, wasps, wind and ants to spread … Continue reading →

Calvin and Hobbes’ anniversary month

Posted on November 1, 2015 by Steve

The theme for November came together even faster than I planned! Certainly friendlier than reminding everyone about the election of Reagan…the anti-FDR and one of the worst presidents ever. No, Calvin and Hobbes is a more pleasant topic because it … Continue reading →

Weird Science turns 30 today

Posted on August 2, 2015 by Steve

Weird Science probably isn’t on the short list of great John Hughes’ movies due to its audience being somewhat smaller in range than The Breakfast Club or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; the poor, oppressed teenage boys who get beaten up. A demographic that … Continue reading →

Four thousand posts

Posted on July 28, 2015 by Steve

A nice spot between my birthday and wedding anniversary. It’s 27 days late but as the cliché goes…better late than never. What to talk about? How about the math. Let’s see, this format began on July 3, 2005. That makes … Continue reading →

A pause or anti-respite in the hiatus from Picayune?

Posted on July 21, 2015 by Steve

Plus what’s with these posts requiring a password? I would blame those on the death of privacy in some ways. They’re not incriminating or anything really awful, we just live in an over-cautious, over-reacting, heavily-handed PC world. Quick aside: Contrary … Continue reading →
