I'm a couple days late to the game on reading this but Wil, that was the single most moving piece I have ever read by you.

Though I hadn't seen him in over twenty years, I knew I'd miss him forever
I stood in the lobby of the Falcon Theater in Toluca Lake, and looked at Twitter while I waited for the rest of the guys to arrive. The walls were covered with posters from productions like CHiPs: The Musical and It's A Stevie Wonderful Life. Being in a theater during the day, when it's just a b...
So, who did you just talk to that said "ya it's ok to blog about it now"? You're new friend maybe?

in which a fairly major secret is made secret no more
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...
"It will have a classic arcade with vintage games, a single-screen movie theater, a waterslide, and a perfectly-maintained minigolf course." ...and a Farrel's ice cream parlor.

LA Daily: Miniature Golf and the Goddamn Volcano Hole
Having realized my own creative limitations, my contributions to the LA Daily will now be bi-weekly, instead of weekly. Let's all celebrate with this week's story, which appears to be about playing minigolf with my wife. "Fucking Pagoda hole. That was bullshit. The volcano hole will be the gre...
Battlezone
Moon Patrol
Galaga
Centipede
But they wouldn't get much play because I'd be all over my original Terminator pinball machine

One of the super-useful bits of advice I picked up somewhere about writing and blogging goes like this: most people can't write for a book and a blog at the same time, because our brains get different kinds of feedback and rewards from each. For most of us, if we had to pick, we'll write in our ...
This should be the new RickRoll'd.

Because if you can't do totally ridiculous and silly things with your blog for your kids, what's the point of even having one?
That was the funniest shit I've read from you in a long, long time.

geek vs. itunes
In the spirit of Cat vs. Monkey . . . Me: iTunes, play whatever you want on random. iTunes: Cool! Have some Isaac Hayes, followed by Yes! Me: Maybe we need to talk about this... iTunes: Hey, jerk, it was in YOUR library. Don't blame me for getting creative. Me: Let's never fight again. iTune...
Wil,
This is what I get for not reading your entire entry before commenting.

I mean really, how freaking awesome? If anyone who reads these comments has not seen it, do so now. Not later. NOW!!!!!!!

Begin brain dump: If you've been following the news at all, it will be no surprise that I'm very busy today blogging at CardSquad. I'm also writing for a new ACME show, which I'll have details on in the future. The story is not that Mark Foley is a disgusting pervert. The story is that Mark F...
Wil,
I don't usually comment here but you do make a very good point. How does the fundamentalist right weigh in on this issue? Deafening indeed. More like "Silence is golden".

If someone asked you what toy defined your childhood, what would you say? My kids would probably say Gameboy (Ryan) and Micro Machines (Nolan.) My brother would probably say NES. My sister would probably say Cabbage Patch Kids. My dad would probably say Baseball cards. My answer comes without a ...
That's why I "just watch" Lost. The other suck in is the "Don't miss the exclusive deleted scene on tomorrow's Good Morning America". Deleted scenes are deleted for a reason.

the lost experience
Initially, I thought this (possible spoilers) would be a fun puzzle-solving game to play over the summer, while waiting for season three to start, figuring out what Dharma is about, Hanso Foundation rabbits with Persephone . . . but after last week's Sprite tie-in, and last night's stupid Jeep c...
