We don't have a cat anymore, but there are heaps of neighbourhood cats who roam around the area and appear whenever I'm wearing dress pants. The tape dispenser at my desk is my only saving grace!
P.S. You left the parentheses open in the 3rd paragraph!

in which a suitcase is packed
Tomorrow morning, I'm going to get into a giant aluminium tube and fly across the continent to America's Wang. Then, on Sunday, I'll get on a boat and spend a week doing nerdy stuff with nerds in the middle of the ocean. It should be pretty awesome. Earlier today, I folded my laundry, and put it...
I'm sad to say I've never seen an episode of Eureka. Has it made it to New Zealand? If yes, how do I find it?

Saying goodbye to Eureka
Last year, my friend Amy told me she was moving from writing Leverage to writing Eureka. She asked me if I was interested in playing a scientist who was kind of a jerk. I said "yes" as fast as I could, and ended up playing Doctor Isaac Parrish for seven of the ten episodes in season 4.5. When se...
I really enjoy reading your blog, Wil. This is a really heart-warming story, and so cool to see how much you love hanging out with your son. =)

in which my son and i bottle our beer
I walked down the hallway toward the guest room, and started talking before I got to the door. "Hey, I just looked at my calendar, and I miscalculated when we should bottle our beer." I stepped off the wood floor of the hallway and onto the soft carpet we just had installed. I involuntarily squi...
This is my first time reading this story, although not the first time I'm reading your blog. I'm not on Twitter, but I do grab some Twitter feeds via my RSS, so I your blog posts when you tweet about them. Love your writing, Wil!

Because it's become a yearly tradition, here's a story about fireworks
I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the years, but this remains one of my all-time favorites, so I like to revisit it every year. It was originally written and published on July 5, 2002, which usually feels like years and days ago all at once, but this year actually feels like a lif...
Yep, I've always called them "oops" for that very reason. They seem to fuck up so much, it's inexplicable why they are still in business.
Does remind me of a time when I was flying to Connecticut from Pittsburgh, and when looking for my bags at the other end, the airline told me that the baggage handlers "forgot" to put several bags on the plane. Like you asked above, I actually said to them "Isn't that someone's ENTIRE JOB?" How do you 'forget' to do your entire job?!
Good luck with the books, Wil. :-/

UPS shipping fail - updated (see end of post)
I shipped two boxes of books to Phoenix on Wednesday, to arrive here by 1030 this morning. I paid extra for this, like you do. As 11am rolled around and my books still weren't here, I got a little nervous, so I checked online to see where my packages were. It turns out UPS fucked up and "incorre...

I'll be 38 in just a couple of weeks, and I never played a video game until I learned of Little Big Planet. I *love* it, and now I can share gaming with my husband. =)
P.S. I don't hate any gaming store, so no hate here!

Wil buys a new game. It's super effective!
A pair of twenty-something Bros, dressed and posed in a manner that was such a hilarious cliche, if I described them exactly as I saw them, my editor would have said, "no, that's too cliche," stood near the front of the store, communicating in some kind of Broglish that leaned heavily on the wor...

paywalls are stupid, part infinity
Earlier this morning, I saw a story at Daily Kos that really upset me. It's the sort of thing that I would hope transcends political ideology, and I thought that if I submitted it to Reddit, maybe it would eventually attract enough attention to make some kind of difference. I didn't want to link...
Totally get the appeal for Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus. My husband and I have a penchant for the old dramatic sci-fi movies. We have "Attack of the (random 'giant' animal here)". =) The iguana one is the best, esp since it's not actually an iguana!

We Demand MacNeil!
A friend of mine recently accomplished one of those things which is worthy of being celebrated with champagne, so I went to the store this afternoon to get her a bottle. I picked out a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, which is Anne's and my favorite, and walked up to the register to pay. On my way, I th...
Lovely. :)

a nice walk about
It is unseasonably warm here (you're welcome, Southern California; I brought the weather from JoCoCruseCrazy home with me) so project Get Outside And Exercise A Little Bit Every Day has been easier than it was in December. Yesterday, I took Seamus with me on my walk. The Western sky was beginnin...
Sounds like an awesome way to start the day. :)

good morning
I woke this morning to the sound of rain falling outside my window, and discovered that both of my dogs had jumped up onto my bed overnight and were snuggled into me to keep warm. When I lifted my head from my pillow, I saw that both cats were also on the bed, tucked into tiny little "I really w...
The best pretzels by far are the Auntie Anne pretzels. Sure, they take a bit of work, but making them is half the fun. And the box is only $10!

the frozen pretzel conundrum
I am slowly but steadily finding my way back to that mysterious land where I feel motivated and inspired to write something every day. I blame Fallout: New Vegas for wrapping me up in an interesting world every night, and a giant stack of comic books that reminded me how much I love superhero st...
