My "stress dreams" are usually in the movie theatre and having to clean up after a sold out show (I used to work at a movie theatre). I smell the popcorn and the sticky soda on the floors. OR, I realize that I am one high school class shy of graduating high school except I'm already in college and how did I get there?!
Dream casts a human shadow, when it occurs to him to do so.
Last night, while I slept, I found myself standing on the set of Next Generation. I was in my red ensign's uniform, and LeVar was in Geordi's gold engineering uniform. We were in Geordi's quarters, and the entire crew was waiting to roll the cameras on an important scene. But I had no idea why I...
I finally sat down and watched this. So lovely! :)
After twenty years, I finally got to say this.
A lot of incredible and wonderful things happened at the Calgary Expo this weekend, and when I'm not as exhausted I'll write about all of them. Until then, though, here is one of them that I really hope you'll spend 5 minutes watching: If you can't see the video, you can watch it right here a...
Thank you! It's absolutely refreshing that there are those who spoke out in disgust about Chris Brown and I thought yours was best done.
I think Chris Brown's lack of humility is what really grates on people. And to those who think he's been somehow redeemed by a Grammy award, why not go and read that police report, eh?
So thank you and I'm glad I'm part of that 98%. ;)
In which I realize I need to say Thank You...
On Sunday, I was personally offended that Chris Brown performed at the Grammys. Violence against anyone is never okay, but the quiet acceptance of violence against women we see all over the world is especially reprehensible to me. Allowing someone who beat his girlfriend so severely she was hosp...
I hope you have a spectacular time at Dragon*Con! Looking forward to your report. ;)
And I totally get the no touching thing.
My Dragon*Con Schedule
Here's my schedule for this weekend's Dragon*Con. Friday 1pm -2pm - The Guild Panel with Robin and Amy in the Sheraton Grand Ballroom 2:30-5:30pm - Autographs in the Walk of Fame 6:00-6:30pm - The Guild Photos in International Hall North at the Marriott. 6:30-7:00pm - Star Trek Photos in Interna...
Thank you for sharing your time on Eureka with us. I almost want to cry when you tell us how much you're going to miss the cast and crew and experience of Eureka.
I know it's not over yet and I'm so glad for that. So I intend to savor every episode left to air and to read every word you write on it.
Eureka: This One Time At Space Camp
In a few hours, I will be picked up and taken to the set for my last day on Eureka. Though I've known this day was coming for a couple of weeks, and I've been trying to prepare myself for it, I'm not ready. I don't want this to be over. I don't want to say goodbye to my friends. Monday, we had o...
The things I loved:
Zane, shirtless once again. I'm a boycrazy fanchick type so this just plays into that side of me. ;)
Allison and her "inconceivable" line. Brian, you missed it! I almost missed it too, the hubby heard it first. LOL!
Holly and Fargo and their awkward geeky love. LOL
The things I didn't love:
Tiny blowing up! What the heck!
Jo and Zane dancing around the fact that they are more than just a physical hook-up.
"Clash of the Titans" - Comment Post
Wallace Shawn on Eureka? Conceivable! Love -- and poison gas! -- is in the air in "Clash of the Titans." Allison and Carter find themselves on the wrong side of some red tape, Henry and Grace take the next step, Holly and Fargo contemplate their next step, and Jo and Zane do the horizontal...
That has to be one of my favorite episodes. The "Number One" bit had me rolling. My husband was merely amused by my reaction. ;)
I like how Niall got to show off his body. Umm, what happened to his shirt for that one bit?
And my favorite part was Parrish screaming like a little girl. You were great! :D
(And I finally remembered to log in under this account so that I could use the pic in my icon...)
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...
Loved the episode, especially all the Zane stuff. He has become one of my favorites. The no shirt thing was very very very nice. ;)
I love how Dr. Parrish thought everything was part of the test and then his girly scream. Priceless! Holly is delightfully spazzy and I just adore Felicia Day.
Carter's save in the end with Henry was great! And I'm glad Allison is back in charge for the moment. :)
"Of Mites and Men" - Comment Post
Even being strangled by his tie, Carter sure looks nice in a suit, doesn't he? Allison's back in action, Astraeus selection brings things up close and personal, and GD deals with an only-in-Eureka bug problem. What did you think of the episode? Let us know in the comments! Boilerplate remind...
Thanks for sharing! :) Neil, I enjoy your tweets, so this was even more fun to read.
Can't wait for Eureka!!! (But I will wait, just impatiently...)
A Day in the Life - Neil Grayston, Actor
Hello there, I've been asked to provide an account of a typical day on Eureka from an actor's perspective. So here we go. I should add that I don't speak for, or represent, all actors, or even a fraction of them. I wake up, usually pretty early, to the sounds of trumpets and my harem of c...
The people who need to heed the warning about being careful with Facebook are likely not the people who read your blog. Alas!
I personally like Facebook because it keeps me in touch with family and friends. For the ones I don't know quite so well, they are on a filter that see almost nothing. I love using those filters. ;)
on the internet, nobody knows that you're a dog
I mentioned this on Twitter, but as Twitter has grown and grown (congrats, Biz and Ev!) it's become very "in the moment" and not the best place to put very important things like this: There's a page on Facebook that appears to be mine. The problem with this is that I don't use Facebook, and I do...
Yah, Eureka!!! I LOVE this show! Can't wait to meet your Eureka alter ego. ;)
Eureka!
I'm heading up to Vancouver later this week to shoot an episode of Eureka! The SyFy (I know they're my new employers, but it still pains me to write that) Channel put out the following press release this morning: Actor, author and blogger Wil Wheaton of the popular television series Star Trek: ...
So freakin' exciting! Looking forward to seeing Evil Wil Wheaton again. :D
Evil Wil Wheaton returns to The Big Bang Theory
Well, it's official. Evil Wil Wheaton is going back to The Big Bang Theory! From TV Guide Magazine: Geeks everywhere will be happy hear that Star Trek star Wil Wheaton will be returning to hang out with TV’s hippest nerds on The Big Bang Theory. “We were very excited when Wil Wheaton appeared...
I'm a little late replying but I just had to say WOOHOO!!! And now I shall have to listen very carefully when I watch the movie next time. lol! :)
Love the behind-the-scenes stuff too. Most wonderful. :D
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...

I love these teasing tidbits while you're working on a show. And the spoiler picture is cool! :)
I feel the same way about bookstores. I can get lost in them and not really feel lost at all...
LEVERAGE: day three
I wasn't on the call sheet today, but I went to the set anyway, because I felt like I was welcome to visit if I wasn't in the way, and because we were shooting at the Portland Art Museum, and I was planning to go see their collection on my day off. I slept much later than I've been able to since...
Cool beans! I like when you work on shows I've watched or am watching. :) I hope you say something about Gina Bellman because I've liked her since Coupling. In fact, my license plate says SOCK GAP (which doesn't make sense unless you've seen Coupling, but anyhoo!).
Can't wait to hear more!
LEVERAGE: day zero
Greetings from Portland! I'm here for the next few days to work on an episode of Leverage, playing a character who I have a few things in common with, as evidenced by something that happened earlier today during my costume fitting. The costume designer is an incredibly kind and easy going woman....
Thanks for the link! And for some reason, the snippets you chose made me want to cry. It is exactly my fandom (Xena/Herc) and how I've become friends and stayed friends with these WONDERFUL and CRAZY people. Sure, we came together because of Ares, but we stayed friends because we actually liked all our differences and such.
Thank you again for sharing. :)
"fandom's about not being alone anymore"
I need to share this heartbreaking, wonderful and insightful post about friendship and fandom at Firefox News: This is fandom. Aside from the squeeing, aside from the flamewars, 'shipwars, and FK wars (don't ask), it's about forming a community. It's about making friends with people you'd other...

I could be totally related to that velvety guy. Who knew?! LOL!
I like your attitude. Although I secretly "screw them" for not inviting you to the con. What could they be thinking?!
My husband thinks it's cool you got to kiss Ashley Judd. LOL!
Whenever I read about how you remember the good stuff about TNG, I remember how much I freakin' loved the show. I loved that show very much. Sparked much creativity in me. :)
evil and awesome (but mostly awesome)
Way back in April, John Scalzi wrote on his blog: Arrangements have been made. Wheels set into motion. At this point, it is inevitable. Unavoidable. Implacable would not be too strong a word. What has begun? I cannot tell you. Suffice to say it is evil. And yet awesome, in its way. And it ...

Wow, the poster makes me faint-hearted in some many ways.
The trailer for Watchmen is rockin'!
And I agree with all the good things said about Dr. Horrible. It makes me laugh and want more all at the same time. :) And oh the singing.
strange as it seems his musical dreams ain't quite so bad
We've been shooting nights this week on Criminal Minds, and I've worked every single day, which doesn't leave any time to write, or do much of anything else. I got home at 4 this morning, didn't fall asleep until 5, and then had to explain to my dogs that, no, just because I was in bed and the s...

Hiya Wil,
Met you today and I just wanted to say that you are a sweet fella. Thanks for taking a picture with me. :) I also enjoyed listening to you speak. What a treat! Hope you had a good time as well and you got home before midnight.
Best,
Valerie
