i'm sorry about the deadline panic but, hey, at least you've got THE BESTEST MUSIC to see you through it. :)
regarding deadline panic
I have a lot to do before I leave for Phoenix tomorrow. I have to prepare my setlist for my show (this includes building a slideshow, which I've never done before. I'm terrified I'm going to screw it up, so of course I waited until the last minute to do it, because the stress of not knowing how ...
i hope that nobody actually said that in the boys' presence or you're so screwed EVERY SINGLE TIME you leave your computer signed into twitter. :)
I am no longer on a boat...
...but my inner ear is pretty convinced that I am. Goodtimes. Goodtimes. Until I have enough moments in a row to reflect on and recount the amazing and wonderful time I had on #JoCoCruiseCrazy, I wanted to take a second to share the best part of the entire trip for me: For seven days and six nau...
metatropolis was awesome wasn't it? and i think it's adorable that you have that fawkes and codex button on your bag of holding. can't wait to see more "wil is bored and needs to entertain the masses" videos. :)
we can't rewind, we've gone too far
I'm home for a few days before I go back to Vancouver to finish out the season on Eureka. It's nice to sleep in my own bed, actually see my family, and work in my actual office, instead of sitting at a desk in a hotel. Doctor Parrish was very heavy in the last episode I shot, so I worked 5 of 6 ...
made a small donation in honour of our beloved corgi. she was 14 when she died on 8/17/10. i still can't believe how quiet the house is. . .
To celebrate the legacy of our awesome dog
Last year Anne and I raised some money for the Pasadena Humane Society in memory of our awesome dog, Ferris. When I wrote about it here, Anne said: Just over 8 years ago, I made a right turn instead of a left out of the Home Depot parking lot. That was a turn that would change our lives forev...

"is wesley crusher gonna hafta cut a bitch?"
Wesley Crusher's Sweet-Ass Motherfucking Bouffant
When I was a teenager pretending to fly a spaceship, I got to do a lot of really cool things with a lot of really cool people. The price of admission to this wonderful world, though, was the most annoying hairdo I've ever experienced in my life. I called it Wesley's Helmet Hair, because it did n...

so. this was a rhetorical question, right? cause i don't think i can say HELL YES loudly enough.
anyone interested in a short fiction collection?
I have a question for everyone who reads my blog: if I put some short stories I'd written together into a little collection and sold it at Lulu, would you be interested? I ask this because I collected a few short stories into a limited edition chapbook for last year's PAX Prime, and it's been si...

yes this was definitely my moment of much needed zen. particularly after i spent two hours fighting with facebook so that i could have my "evil wil wheaton" profile badge back. apparently facebook fears evil wil wheaton as much as moonpie does! and well they should. :)
Your Saturday Moment of Zen.
I don't like to work on the weekends if I can help it, but I'm doing Big Bang Theory all next week, and this keynote isn't going to write itself while I'm off being Evil Wil Wheaton, so here I am. When I write something, especially something this important, I spend most of my time letting ideas ...
facebook has an application where you take a little quiz and find out which big bang theory character you are. i was *so* stoked to find out i was evil wil wheaton! i have it on my profile page for all to see. (i didn't even know that was an option!).
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Wow, nice shirt . . . Moonpie.
I love that this line has been immortalized in T-shirt form , not only because it's one of the funniest in the episode, but when we were rehearsing the scene it comes from, I grew a level in comedy acting: During one of the run throughs, when Jim did his Klingon bit, I turned to Kevin and as...
and i'm officially scared to read this post. the title immediately made me think of pennywise the clown, hiding in a storm drain, waiting for some carefree little boy to come running by sailing his paper boat down a storm swollen street. . . .
okay, i have to go hide under the covers now.
*runs away screaming*
moves by just like a paper boat
It's been raining pretty steadily, very heavy at times, since yesterday afternoon. The weather service says we should expect this to continue for at least a week, but it could go on for up to two weeks. I mention this because it hardly ever happens here, and if people weren't truly in danger fro...
passed this link on to my friend at geekcrafts.com cause it is just that cool. :)
This is, without a doubt, the coolest thing I've seen all year
Reader Robin Got Excited and Made 100 cupcakes. I know what you're thinking: "Well, that's a lot of cupcakes, but so what?" Well, doubtful-person-I-just-invented, let me tell you what: each cupcake depicts a different board or video game, and she put them all up on a website where you can ident...
oh. my. god.
that wolf is looking right at me.
i must have that wolf picture.
in which my brother gets excited and makes things
Whenever I write about and link to my brother's photography, the positive feedback is just overwhelming. It seems that people all over the world love his work just as much as I do, and as a big brother that makes me put my hands on my hips and smile like a goon. If you haven't seen them before, ...
excuse me whilst i clean starbucks off my laptop.
CSI: D&D
This is a little bit of gallows humor that I whipped up and sent to Scott Kurtz and my friends at Penny Arcade when we all knew that Aeofel was dead, but couldn't tell anyone else in the world. It seems pretty stupid and clunky now, but at the time, it was as hilarious as it was cathartic to me...
it's perfect. thanks to you both for filling my little geek heart with joy. :)
Hey look! It's the Memories of the Futuremug!
It turns out that all this talk about getting excited and making things, uh, got me excited to make something. I don't remember the precise moment this hit me, but I'm pretty sure it happened during one of those times I felt stuck on a story or something, and decided to get out of my office and ...
woohoo! atari 2600! (oh god i *am* old. . . *sigh* ).
as for the installment version of an audio memories of the future i'm all for it. :) one of my favorite podcasters does his novels this way and it is wonderful. no set schedule so we tend to badger him (lovingly) but we wait and then gobble each installment up as it hits itunes.
you may ask yourself, "how do i work this?"
I stayed up way too late last night, waiting for Nolan to get home from the Horror thing at Universal. When I was younger, staying up until 3 was no big deal, but making it past midnight is a serious challenge, especially since my stupid brain insists on waking up between 7 and 8 no matter when ...
ummmm. "indulge you one more time"? dude, it's your blog. we come to you. you can post whatever you want and we'll still come to you. of course you may have to endure snarky comments from us but what the hell. you'll still love us. :) (you will still love us right? right? wil? right? don't make me hire another giant machine of destruction to disturb your peace and quiet cause i totally will do that. . . . lol )
oh, and for the record, i think brent spiner has completely lost his mind. :0
ugly bags of mostly water
I know, I know, posting Twitter conversations is the new posting pictures of your cat, but if you'll indulge me one more time, I think some of you will be glad you did: @levarburton: The Angels have demonstrated genuine character tonite... Unlike the Dodgers who simply punked out!!! @wilw: @lev...
wil wheaton says "don't be a dick" - but only because he can outdick you every day of the week . . . and twice on MONDAY!
awesome show. awesome shirt. awesome acting. and dude, i'm sure your nana is soooooo proud of you. :)
The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary
I'm at w00tstock right now, and I haven't even seen the show, but I thought it would be fun to write a post in advance so anyone who watched The Big Bang Theory tonight would have a place to talk about it. If everything goes according to plan, this should post right as the episode is finishing o...
okay first: who broke the page? lol
second: I GOT MY BOOK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *ahem*
ummmm, i don't really have a third.
*wanders off to find a rice krispie treat to eat whilst listening to episode seven*
Memories of the Futurecast: Episode Seven
Holy crap! It's time for Memories of the Futurecast. Memories of the Future, Volume One, covers the first 13 episodes of TNG, so each week, I'm choosing something from one episode, and performing an excerpt for you. It will mostly be from the synopses, which is where I think the real humor of ...
i already ordered the book but now i'm going to buy the pdf version as well just because i have "want it NOW" issues. :) i just wish i got to cons because it looks like i'll never get it (or anything else) signed. *sigh*
PDF version of Memories of the Future Volume One available now
Before I get to the "Hey, I released Memories as a PDF because you asked for it" portion of this post, I wanted to share some early feedback on Memories of the Future Volume One: "@wilw's MEMORIES OF THE FUTURE is my TNG DVD commentary of choice. Fun and funny and a blast to read all around. nic...
happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.
that is all. :)
In which Memories of the Future Volume One is released
I am beyond excited to announce the release of my newest book, Memories of the Future, Volume One. I worked harder on this book than anything since Just a Geek, and it wouldn't have been possible without a bunch of people, who I thank in the book, but wanted to thank here, as well: Andrew Hacka...
podcast downloaded - check.
book ordered - check.
feeling slightly superior since my friends haven't done either - check.
:)
