YAY! I've been hoping we'd get more RFB this year, especially since the Nerdist Christmas special got me hooked on podcasts again, which I hadn't listened to since college (which wasn't that long ago, but still...).

There's a new episode of Radio Free Burrito
These puppies want you to listen to Radio Free Burrito. So from time to time, I make this stupid podcast called Radio Free Burrito. It's this thing that I do because it's creative and entertaining to me, and is an easy way for me to amuse myself and hopefully share some interesting things ...
They reminded me of the replicators as well!

Eureka: Of Mites and Men
In every rehearsal, when Parrish stands up to triumphantly announce that he's completed his 100 cranes, I did it in my best* Homer Simpson voice, like when he tries to fake out Apu with the lottery scratcher: "WOOO HOOO! ONE HUNDRED CRANES, BABY!" This episode was more fun to film than I thought...
Ratings were indeed decent, but it consistently came in last in the Monday night race (WH13, Alphas, and Eureka). I still have no idea why they would cancel it so far in advance of airing the 5th season though. Also, I haven't heard of anything in the pipeline for later, so this really was a surprise. (USA, on the other hand, has to cancel at least one of their shows... they just picked up another courtroom drama.)

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've been lucky enough to feel that way on four different shows for the last several years.
Eureka, The Guild, Criminal Minds, and ... I'm drawing a blank on the last one! Numb3rs?
Wil, my condolences on the Eureka cancellation. I'm still in shock myself. I honestly only got into the show because I heard you were going to be in it last year. And now that I've fallen in love with it, it's going to end. At least I still have 13 S5 episodes to look forward to (not to mention the rest of S4.5!)!

Dear Wil, I LOVE this story...especially the last bit. If I saw you and Felicia together, I'd be so full of squee I don't know what I'd do. It's so awesome that you guys are so real and down-to-earth with fans! :)

When we're on location for Eureka, Felicia Day is like my best friend and my younger sister, all at once. We give each other shit all day long, we hang out when we're not working, and we lean on each other when we have those days all artists have that make us question why we thought we could do ...
This is some gorgeous narrative storytelling, Wil!
I think you mean Sirius (the dog star), not Canis Major (the constellation containing Sirius), but I am otherwise very impressed with your star-knowledge! No layman would know these things!

I stayed up until almost one this morning, reading comic books. I know, it's like I'm 12 all over again. And it's awesome. Around four, Anne woke me up. "What's wrong?" I said, while I was still waiting to clear immigration between Dreamland and Reality. "Nothing. I just couldn't sleep, so I got...

Wil, you always make me smile. ((Except for when you are making me cry. But there's always emotion, and I'm like a Vulcan, so making me emote is always an accomplishment!))
Sorry to hear about the ankle. And holy crap, *I* want some talking x-rays! :)

About two hours ago, I said goodbye to my friends on the set of Eureka, and rode back to my home away from home, here in Vancouver. About an hour ago, I started doing my laundry and packing my suitcase. I think the last time I did coin-op laundry, I was 20. It's strangely familiar, and the uniqu...
I would LOVE to see Wil and Felicia together! They have some GREAT chemistry together in The Guild! And SQUEEE for more of my favorites! The only reason I started watching Eureka is because I heard Wil Wheaton was coming, and now I am SO GLAD I did! :D

As those of you who attended our screening and panel at Comic Con already know, we have awesome casting news to announce! Joining us for a multi-episode arc in the back ten of season four is none other than Queen of the Internets herself, Felicia Day! Felicia paid a surprise visit during our p...
DEFINITELY DRATW!!! :D
I can't wait to see the rest of The Guild this season...and possibly more Eureka! (Do you know yet if you and Felicia will be guest starring in the same episode?)

I think this is one of those rare things that can be equally enjoyed* by those who have context, and those who don't. *for very disturbing values of 'enjoyed'

Silly Wil, you know the answer is always "yes" to questions like this! Just let me know when and where, and I'll buy two so I can share!
Request: can you pretty please put together a book of your dog tweets as well? With pictures to accompany the tweets, if possible? I'd buy two of those as well! ;)

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...
Wil, as usual, your story made me smile. Thanks! =D

I had a very short day today, and was wrapped just after lunch, so I had the afternoon to myself to take care of some very important business. Before I get to that, though, a little bit about working on Eureka... The good news is that I was given permission to twitter and photograph from the set...
Is it sad that I didn't notice the typo until I clicked the link [and I work in the writing center so that sort of thing is kind of my job]?
My portmanteau-loving brain just jumped straight to assuming you meant some crossover between "passionate" and "professional" :D

I spent most of the morning and afternoon rehearsing my speech, listening to how it sounds, and making sure it times out right. The old improviser in me even played New Choice a few times with some ad-libs that amused me so much, I ended up writing them into the text. Writing this speech and pre...
Mudslides: another reason not to move to LA. Man, it seems like everywhere I turn someone is trying to convince me not to move there. My favorite: the school system sucks (which is ironic, since I want to teach there; it's why I want to move there in the first place!).

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...

Someone, I think it was Shane Nickerson, recently recalled the apocryphal advice given to people who choose to come live in Los Angeles: this city sucks, so if you're going to live here, you should at least love what you do... I got into Hollywood at 11 yesterday morning, and came back out at 7:...
My little brother (currently 12) is *obsessed* with A-Team. Our local ABC sister station shows old stuff like that between the 6 and 11 o'clock news, so it's still on during prime time here! And lil bro finally believes my parents that shows were better back then, and "they don't make 'em like they used to" ;)

While looking for something entirely-unrelated, I came across this old post from 2006. I read the entire post that it's excerpted from on Radio Free Burrito 17, but this part made me smile, so it gets its own spot right here on my bloggy-blog-blog:Though I've been there for several auditions, I ...

Mistakes I've caught thus far:
page #, paragraphs down, (mistake) how to fix it
17, 3, (Zorn,.) should not have a period
24, 1, (season,and) needs a space between season and and
89, 2, (whole paragraph starting with "Man if I were Marina...") belongs on p 88 after 1st paragraph ending "I wish I could say."

Back in the old days, before Twitter exploded into the phenomenon that it is now, I got a message from Greg Grunberg. Greg plays Matt Parkman on Heroes (this information, which most of you don't need, is provided as a public service to the seven of you who do), and has been in every JJ Abrams pr...
Thanks for the laughs. While that breakfast sounds more like something I would eat for dinner (minus the vegetables), I can appreciate the Art there.
