I put Sriracha in mine. Just enough to give it some nice heat without being brutal. Even better, it's best when added to the bowl when serving as cooking it takes away a lot of the sauce's heat, and you can add as much as you want and just keep going from there until it's a violent red soup of damnation.
Feel better soon. And, if not, I call dibs on your stuff if you don't pull through.

Recipe time: Wil's Sinusitis Can Suck It Vegetable Soup
I managed to go eighteen whole months without getting sick, but sometime in the last week or so, something worked its way into my sinuses, and it's been kicking my ass for the last 48 hours. For most of the last week, I've been waking up in the morning with an intensely sore throat and painful, ...
Wow. Looking at that series of photos is like looking at one man's slow, inevitable collapse into utter insanity.

garage discoveries
I spent a little time in the garage today, and was rewarded with a bunch of nifty discoveries, so I thought I'd share pictures of a few of them. All of these images can be clicked to embiggen them at Flickr, where you can learn more about them:
Merry Christmas, Wil. Hope you had a wild and wonderful holiday.

Christmas Wishes from Steve Martin, and Me, Wil Wheaton
Steve Martin has a Christmas wish to share with you: (If you can't see Hulu videos, or just want the audio, YouTube has you covered. It's a Christmas miracle!) And here's my holiday wish, which isn't nearly as funny, but is at least (if not more) sincere: Whatever you choose to celebrate t...
Thanks for the reminder, Wil --especially in today's somewhat wobbly financial climate. It's nice to see someone do it right, and I think it would be a brilliant thing if more families followed this lead.

From the Vault: surrounded by the joy of the season
In December of 2001, Anne I were really struggling financially. It had already been a pretty lousy year, as far as work went, and after September 11th, things only got worse. As Christmas got closer, it was clear that we simply couldn't afford to put many things under the tree for our kids, let...

Well, considering it would be addressed to you, there's a chance that it would be mistakenly read by you (seeing as how it's your mail and all).

Dan can be kind of obnoxious with a camera. So when we were at Friday's on Saturday, I pretended to be doing something very important on my cell phone. But really, I was just getting even for all those shots he has of me scowling and picking my nose and stuff. I didn't know it at the time, but...

I spent an hour or two yesterday morning schmoozing at the Indiana Convention Center. People who know me are all like, "What? Emily? Schmoozing? I don't get it." And I'd say, "Yeah, you're right," except that sometimes the part of me that insists on making myself very uncomfortable wins. I still...

I’m different now. Like, I think I’ll be doing a lot less earth-inheriting from here on out. Good or bad, I just don’t think it can be helped. Part of it is I used up all my patience, a virtue I didn’t have much of to begin with. That made it hard for me to keep my soft edges. Yesterday I was wa...

On Valentine's Day, The Ex gave me a card. "Friends like you... ...make life wonderful!" It cost $.99, and it wasn't even a Hallmark. There was also some chocolate (youbetcherassiateit) and an invitation to dinner (yougottabefuckinkiddinme). I would have preferred that he take out the trash fo...

Find a mobster. They used to do wonderful things with shipping containers before they diversified into waste management.

I'm watching Baveheart at the moment, so I probably shouldn't say too much. But, you know, it might help to put on a tartan skirt and grow your hair into a big, fluffy mullet.

First of all, my Ex insists that I didn't actually mumble "Whatever" as reported at the end of this little gem. (Of course, he also tried to convince me that he didn't have my set of keys the other day. He was wrong about that too.) He also wonders out loud why I'm lying to you guys--why I don't...
