2010 was 'unexpected' in a lot of ways. It was a joy from a Wil Wheaton standpoint, though. May you, Anne and the entire family have an excellent New Year. Have a great cruise too!
:)

Happy New Year. I'm on a boat.
I'm going to be on JoCo Cruise Crazy until January 8. I thought it was kind of important to stay connected, keep Twittering and blogging and Internetting while I was on a boat, but after much deliberation, decided that I will not be purchasing Holland America's Yes, We Use The Whole Fist int...
"OK, guys. Do we tell this dude about the blueberry fetish now???"

This is crying out for a caption. I'll choose my favorite, and send something neat* to whoever writes it. Submissions open throughout the weekend, one per person, and can only be left as comments here (it's too difficult to track on Twitter or via e-mail). *definition of 'neat' will be at my s...
Thanks for such an excellent story, Wil. I'm part of the animal rescue network in Southern CA. It's REALLY difficult doing rescue here for so many reasons. Unfortunately, your happy ending doesn't happen as often as we would like. But we keep doing it BECAUSE of stories like yours. It's inspiration to keep trying to save those dogs and cats in hopes that they'll find that amazing forever home like Seamus now has with you.
Thanks for sharing, Wil!

To celebrate the legacy of our awesome dog
Last year Anne and I raised some money for the Pasadena Humane Society in memory of our awesome dog, Ferris. When I wrote about it here, Anne said: Just over 8 years ago, I made a right turn instead of a left out of the Home Depot parking lot. That was a turn that would change our lives forev...
OK, Wil. I admit it was a bit 'poofy' but come on. We ARE talking about the 80s. That was how everyone was wearing their hair at that time. And that grease look was 'in.' It wasn't that bad. For myself, I would have preferred a much shorter do. Something longer than a military shave but shorter than what you had. Would definitely have gotten rid of the grease too!

Wesley Crusher's Sweet-Ass Motherfucking Bouffant
When I was a teenager pretending to fly a spaceship, I got to do a lot of really cool things with a lot of really cool people. The price of admission to this wonderful world, though, was the most annoying hairdo I've ever experienced in my life. I called it Wesley's Helmet Hair, because it did n...
Wow! Talk about a blast from the past! Those are SO cool! They sure bring back a lot of memories!!! :)
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:
This all sounds so great! Too bad I don't have subscription TV! :-(
You may ask yourself, "well, how did I get here?"
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...
Isn't it great to be 'loved?????'
LOL

rain down on me from a great height
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...
Wow! This looks uba cool! I can't wait to see it!!!!!

Many Bothans died to bring you this...
I'm in Canada, working on Eureka, so I couldn't watch the previews CBS put online for The Wheaton Recurrence. Using all of my Evil Wil Wheaton powers, I contacted a sympathetic mole deep within the CBS Fortress of Power and got my hands on this preview.* I'm sorry I had to disable embedding, but...
Beautiful quote, Wil. Our planet needs a massive dose of this. This goes way beyond our national parks. It goes to the heart of our relationship with Nature and our planet. Something is very amiss when people look at a group of wild horses and they see animals that need to be taken off their land "for their own good!" Or seeing an ice flow filled with beautiful baby Harp seals and envision fur coats and money. Are humans SO screwed up that we can no longer enjoy the beauty of animals for what they are???
in which we are bound to the land, and the land is bound to us
I'm recovering HP and mana today by constructing a Vampire/Artifact deck for Magic: The Gathering. While opening boosters earlier, I came across a card in Zendikar called Landbind Ritual. It's a sorcery card that gives you two life for each plains card you control, and it has one of the most bea...
You did ADR for the movie????? I missed this entire section of your postings! I'm going to have to go back to that section again and re-watch it!
Happy New Year, Wil! May 2010 be even more awesome!!!

the 2009 year in review, part six
This post is not a number, it is a free man. It also continues my 2009 year in review from part five, and concludes this obscenely long series of posts that I hope was worth the time I put into creating them. I revealed a fairly major secret, and there was much rejoicing. Yaaay. About 24 hours ...
Merry Christmas, Wil. Hope you, Anne and the kids have an excellent 2010!

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...
Happy Halloween...one day late.
Was there a super big party somewhere??? There were only THREE kids in our negihborhood the entire night!
Speaking of Jack Skellington...........
"Nightmare Before Christmas 3D" was excellent. Sadly, tonight is the last night for it at the El Capitan.
Happy Halloween!
More spooky pictures from past Halloweens in my Flickr stream. Last year's Halloween edition of Radio Free Burrito.
Wil:
LOVED the story! I'd have to say that blender soups are my all time favorites. If you don't make that style a lot, EVERYONE has a blender moment, though. The soup sounds great! I'm going to have to look for it. Whole Foods has a cook book???
Scott
P.S. You willing to share the recipe for the Guiness bread? :)
in which a tale is told about the preparation of soup
Anne is helping a friend move today, so she went down to The OC last night, in order to avoid the hellish traffic that exists on the Southern California freeways between 6am and 10pm just about every day of the week. This meant that Nolan and I were alone last night, free to watch the original ...
Break a leg @ PAX! Can you sell the buttons on the website for like $.50 or a $1 each?
it's the final countdown (to PAX 2009)

You look 7 feet tall!!!

Seriously.....really interesting perspective. I like it.
a happy accident
A few months ago, a casting director needed to get a picture of me with my luxurious beard. Since I haven't had any headshots taken since I grew this magnificent beard, my son and I took my camera out onto the patio so he could take a quick picture that would be good enough for e-mailing on ...
Heart tugging! Makes you want to almost cry. I felt like that sometimes when my projects wrapped. Production!!!!!
Happy B-Day, Patrick!
Excellent, Wil!
to properly commemorate the anniversary of patrick stewart's birth (or: happy birthday, old baldy)
There are two ways that I can commemorate Patrick Stewart's birthday, today. The first: And the second, which comes in two parts. The first part should illustrate how awesome Patrick is, and why I like him so much. The second part should remove any lingering doubt. This is from Chapter Sev...
Wow, Wil! That sure brought back a lot of memories! For us Westside kids, it was always West World (Marina Del Rey) for the video games and Perry's Pizza for fuel. Not surprisingly, both are long gone now.....just like the games.
Maybe I should creak back in my wheelchair??? ;-)
hehehe
LA Daily: A Gamer's Arcade Memories
This Week's LA Daily was knocked out of my brain by 8 bits of sound this weekend: My son is home from college, visiting briefly before he goes back for his summer session, so I've been making a concerted effort to cram as much writing as I can into limited working hours each day, so my evenings ...
Wil............
You SO got the whole Hollywood thing right. I used to work at Sunset-Gower Studios, Hollywood-Warner and Seward-Romaine. You MADE TV shows and films and it was about the project. These days (makes me sound old...'THESE DAYS') it's all about the stars and the money. Stories are irrelevant. That's why so much of what the big studios make is crap now. Whatever happened to the old days when making a movie was about making a GOOD movie???
Scott
:)
in which wil has a good day
Today was, as the song goes, and the movie says, a good day. I woke up before my alarm, feeling rested and relaxed. My dog met me before my feet hit the floor, and followed me to the kitchen, wagging her tail and nuzzling at my side the entire way. I grabbed a cup of coffee and wrote for about t...
....and then again, maybe not. Moviefone has their own membership type thing. I thought it was AOL. So all that stuff I typed disappeared when I tried to load it using the wrong password. :-(
Damn!
Books I Love: A Saucerful of Secrets
I'm very busy working on a few different things, including the craziest idea yet, but it's important to me to maintain momentum and keep posting in my blog, so it's time for another series of Things I Love. This week, I'm going to highlight some books that were important to me when I was becomin...
I saw the "where are they now" piece on AOL too. I think Moviefone is trying to go the way of TMZ. The more sensational, the better. I noticed that with your 'update,' Wil, they didn't event talk about your amazing books. You just released book number 4(?) and they don't even mention that or the multitude of fans all over the country that go gaga for them. For that matter, they didn't even talk about the acting projects you've done.
I added a little comment at the end for 'perspective.'

Hi, Wil. Thanks so much for the response. Remember the Borders book signing you did in Hollywood? There were actually a lot of people for that but the difference was that it was advertised. You have a loyal following in WWdN but not everyone is on here all the time and many L.A. people could miss an event if you had one.....unless they were on everyday. I for one check the Book section of LATimes.com every week. That's the only way I know who is appearing in L.A. I'm sure over the months I have missed some amazing events but it comes down to getting the word out. If they don't advertise, people won't come.
Scott
P.S. My friend and co-worker is really good friends with the owner of Metropolis Books in Downtown L.A. When I meet them for breakfast in a couple of weeks, we'll stop by Metroplis like usual. Let me run it by the owner. I want this so much that I would help advertise the event for her.

Five (Three sir!) Three quick Sunken Treasure items: 1. I was interviewed for the Lulu blog about the book. Fun fact: It was while I was writing the answers for this interview that I sent Twitter the fateful question about $5 DRM-free PDFs. I finished my answers and sent them back right before I...
Wil? How about an L.A. book signing tour???
Please???

Great! Unfortunately, I don't have subscription TV. :-( I guess I'll have to wait until the series comes out on DVD.
Sounds great, Wil!
screencaps from my episode of Batman the Brave and the Bold
Warner Brothers has released some screencaps from Fall of the Blue Beetle. If I want to show you, all I have to do is remind you that it airs next Friday, January 23rd, at 8pm on Cartoon Network. So, now that I've taken care of that little bit of business, check it out: "This beetle doesn't hav...
Wow! I definitely need this cookbook! I'm one of Trader Joe's strongest supporters. I tell and encourage EVERYONE to try it out.
i really love trader joe's
This week's LA Daily is all about an awesome cookbook Anne and I discovered entirely by accident, and how it's made cooking fun again: When I was in my early twenties and had the dual luxuries of copious time and disposable income, I loved to cook. I cooked different things all the time, experi...
Corporations suck and they inherently screw everything up. That's why I refuse to download any of AOL's software onto my computer. When I surfed the Internet using their software, my computer would always f*ck up. I just don't anymore....on principle.
ficlets is going to the land of wind and ghosts. here's how to save your stories.
AOL is shutting down Ficlets on January 15, and in their infinite corporate wisdom and understanding of how communities on the Internet work, they're not providing any easy way to archive the stories you've written there beyond advising that you try "copying the text and pasting it into a plain ...
