Hey Wil!
Last night was the first time I watched Eureka. Great show, I really enjoyed it. Two things;
You did a great job as Parrish. As a viewer when you see a actor who you are quite familiar with it is sometimes hard to get past the person you know (or think you do anyway) and see the character. After the initial surprise of seeing you so early after a few minutes I was learning to love / hate Dr. Parrish and not thinking about Wil (or Wesley / Gordie / etc.). Few known actors pull that off IMO, but you did it perfect.
Second, yes Felicia is freaking a great actor. I have only seen her in The Guild, LoN and DHSOB so seeing her featured in a full length Drama was really neat. How she pulls of insecure and confident at the same time is a testament to her talent.
Anywho, great stuff! Now I think I need to go DVD shopping to get caught up. lol
EUREKA: Glimpse
Last night's Eureka, Glimpse, was my first episode as a non-enraged-by-the-enraginator-device Doctor Parrish. I had completely forgotten about Fargo's commercial for the Astraeus project at the top of the show; when I saw that, the excitement of shooting the entire season came flooding back to m...
Damn. So I guess waiting outside Comics Odyessey and Zankou Chicken everyday for the last four months to meet you is probably not the best strategy then? Now, where am I supposed to go for the day when my wife thinks I am at work?
I kid I kid!
I wouldn't let a bunch of Delta Bravos ruin your fun or your feelings to your true fans my man.
if you cut me, i will bleed
Pretty much all of Comicon was awesome. However, there was one thing that was decidedly not awesome, and though I had initially decided not to talk about it in public, it's bothered me since it happened, so I wrote about it on G+ earlier today. I'm cross posting it here, though, because it's imp...
YOu should teach your cat to poop in the toilet!
this is really gross. you have been warned.
There is a tree near my house, that has probably been there for years, just doing its tree thing, watching patiently as families come and go, empires rise and fall, and Isengard is flooded. I'm sure it's a beautiful tree, cheerfully trading carbon dioxide for oxygen, providing shade, and most li...
Sorry I am late to the party about this post. I just started reading your blog last year after seeing you in the Guild and BBT. Being we are both from Pasadena and about the same age I was glad to see you are doing well after all these years. Keep up the good work!
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...
Holy moses I am just blown away that GS v. OP was only $5 on Blue Ray! What magical store has both Veuve Cliquot AND $5 masterpieces on Blue Ray? Was it a Piggly Wiggly?
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...
Sign me up!
a very limited (I mean VERY limited) autographed book lottery
Yesterday, I said: I found nine hardback copies of The Happiest Days of Our Lives that I must have put there when they first arrived at my house a couple of years ago. They look as perfect as they did the day they were taken out of the box. So I have this idea to sell them, that goes like this:...
Dang. I was hoping to get a signed copy of Memories of the Future for my brother on Christmas but I couldn't wait and bought one anyway. (Well, I actually bought 2 because reading one and then giving it as a gift seemed weird. =)) I am going to throw my hat into the ring but if I win there is no way in hell he gets it!
possible (and very limited) autographed book sale
I've been cleaning out my office, organizing comic books and games, and slowly crawling through a decade's accumulation of geek stuff. It. Has. Been. AWESOME. Last night, I went into the depths of the hallway closet, and behind a bunch of CDs and DVDs, I found nine hardback copies of The Happies...
Pow, she strikes twice! lol
The troll is strong in this one. =P
in which i make shopping fun
Shopping sucks, so some of us do what we must ... because we can.
LOL I think if I was walking through the Paseo Colorado and saw you making that video I would freak out. What if it was a rupture in the space time continuum caused by the awesomeness of that ornament being to close to a dried out Nordman fir?
Creepy. =|

We are pleased to present Wil Wheaton as the new poster child for NAMSLA (North American Man/Smurf Love Association).
merry smurfin' smurfmas, mothersmurfers
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...
LOL didn't know you played Disc Golf. I wonder how many times I have almost hit you at Oak Grove with 170g of plastic after missing a mandatory. =|
in which i spend a day as both father and a son
My son Ryan came home for Thanksgiving, and before he left, my dad and I had planned to take him and his brother to play Frisbee golf. When I got up today, it was fifty-seven degrees below zero, and the wind was gusting with gusto (HA HA HA), and I knew the conditions were not, shall we say, opt...
LOL the Love Boat pic is classic. That photo may say a thousand words but that pic is screaming /Isaacdoublepistolfingers
good afternoon
This is one of those times when a picture is worth a thousand words.
LOL Photo circa 2009. =P That sweater shuuure is in nice shape after all these years...
in which i join forces with @reddit for a pretty awesome auction
Some of you may know that I love Reddit (and now, I guess, you all know that. And while we're in this parenthetical, is it weird that I say "you" when writing to a few million people, many of whom I'm never going to actually meet? Is it weird to be so familiar? I think saying "dear readers" ...
Ummm Wil? My DVR is telling survivor is on tonight at 8pm? Say it ain't so!
Hank Scorpio would really appreciate it if you'd read this post
So, some of you may know that Evil Wil Wheaton is tormenting Sheldon Cooper again this Thursday at 8pm on CBS ... but for those of you who don't, I made a stupid video to help you remember: In other news, I did not book the job I auditioned for last week. The feedback I got was that I ga...
Fringe is one of those cool shows I always forget to DVR. It's on when my kids are still up so I usually can't have monsters ripping people to bits on before bed time. lol
