That was beautiful. Every word.

This is a very, very good life, and I'm grateful for it.
It's quiet outside my office window, like the heat and humidity is sort of absorbing and muffling most of the sounds that usually come through during a typical Saturday morning. All I really hear is birds singing, the occasional drone of a distant train, and the low rumble of thunder out over th...
Happy anniversary you two. Here's to many more great years together. And thanks for the tingling on the left side of my head that hasn't stopped since I looked at the picc and read the post :)

to mark the passage of three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days together
We went to Napa for our tenth anniversary. For the record: being married to your best friend rules.
Good stuff, Wil. I've got geekbumps...er...goosebumps!

kyle + rosemary is finally online
I'm too busy to write about how incredibly awesome my trip to Seattle was, but I just found out that kyle + rosemary is online, and I want everyone in the world to watch it, because I'm so proud of it: Find more videos like this on Channel Frederator RAW (Thanks to reader squonkmama for the ...
I think this may be my favorite Wil Wheaton blog of all time.I'm trying to bust through a case of writers block so severe that at times I have felt like I might really, truly, never write again. Hearing you talk about(reading what you wrote) about Charlie taking over and telling you what happens....jeebus...it reminded me of the magic...reminded me that I'm not out here alone battli9ng this blockage...my characters-those already created, and those yet to gain fictional life-are trying to get me through this as well, because they have lives to live as well. Thanks Wil

bustin up my brains for the words
Did I mention that I'm writing a full-on science fiction novella that may even grow into a novel? It's a noir kinda thing, set in a dystopian future Los Angeles. (It's not Blade Runner. That's the first thing people think when I say it, but I'm keenly aware of that, and I've taken the appropriat...

I'm so happy for Robert Downey Jr. His substance/life abuse problems were the stuff legends...mostly dead legends... are too often made of. But he came out the other side, apparently mostly whole. Plus, he's always been my second choice to play me in the movie of my life. ;)

in which we get the band back together
Last night, Anne and I took our friend out to dinner for his birthday. We invited Nolan to come with us, but he said it would be "boring grown-up talking" and even though he loved us, he'd rather hang out at home. Allow me to translate: "Wait, I can go with three lame adults to a restaurant, or ...

A comment about worry from a former obsessive worrier...my first step towards managing my worry was when I realized..at about your age, that 99.999999999999% of all the things I had worried about in my life had NOT come to pass, and the .00000000000000000001& that had were things utterly out of my control .

I worry a lot. It's in my nature, and my doctors tell me that if I can't stop worrying so much, I'll have hypertension and high blood pressure. In fact, I'm already on my way there, and it's one of the main reasons I felt so lousy while I tried to recover from sinus surgery. More than anything e...

Nice work! Last lines/final words are so important to the audience, be they readers or viewers or listeners...we know that, so I think we often grind unreasonably looking for the perfect combination of words and structure. I'm glad this one snuck from behind when you weren't looking.

Shortly after I made the bowling suggestion I got to thinking about what Wil's day would be like on the 11th...morning trip to the airport, 2-3 hour flight, dinner and auction that evening.....and I realized that finishing that day off with late night bowling would probably not happen. Let's not minimize the great thing Wil is doing already by asking him to invite exhaustion on top of it :)

The auction price is already over a thousand dollars... that's fantastic but a bit out of my range, however, I'm always up for some late night bowling and Sunset Bowl is open 24/7/364.75
Wanna bowl?
