Spent the weekend playing front yard touch football and whiffle ball with the kids. Tried very hard to care about the Superbowl, but I just couldn’t do it.
Played so much Vice City my thumbs hurt, and I dreamed that I was Tommy Vercetti last night. Very lucid, very strange.
Did lots of work in the garden — it’s been in the 80s here for over a week, so we decided to take advantage of the warm while we had the chance.
Wasted almost 18 hours trying to do several computer things. None of them work. Stupid computers.
Haven’t heard anything about the auditions.

Nuff said!!
Keep the faith on the audition Wil, I would love to see you opposite the other Will (Smith).
The 80’s, huh?
Meanwhile, New York has been colder than MOSCOW. That’s right, Moscow, Russia.
Trade ya! 🙂
I, Robot was one of the first SF books I ever read. It would be way cool if you got that part.
arrrggg..
glad you’re haveing nice weather…but it makes me want to shake my fist in anger…
up in Toronto, we’re currently shivering our collective asses off….
s’been pretty brutal lately, cold-wise…
anyhow, sounds like ya had a great weekend…
all the best, and still sending lots of frozen mojo to ya about the audition….
cheers

Your weekend sounds productive around your house :)I hope you enjoyed the 80 degree weather, I am suffering through 11 f degree weather here in Ontario Canada.
in short, part of my weekend was spent at an arena after waking up at 5am to do my daughters hair and makeup. My daughter (a special Olympian in figure skating) won the bronze medal on Saturday morning.
Here is to more productive weekends 🙂
Strangely enough, I too had a Tommy Vercetti dream last night, but I think that’s because I spent an hour watching my boyfriend complete that last mission before they give you the helicopter with guns on it.
That’s my strategy. Let Francis accrue the hours of saved gameplay and completing missions, then come in and blow stuff up with a helicopter. Mad fun.
It was lovely and warm here today. But we’re getting snow on Wednesday, apparently.
🙁
Woohoo! I’m number 8 (or 9 if someone hits the “post” button first =)
Keep the faith re the audition results–remember that all of us monkeys out there are sending lots and lots of positive mojo and vibes your way!
We will see Wil Wheaton opposite Will Smith yet!
Well I spent the weekend visiting my mom. She bought me an awesome NHL ticket for Christmas. So the rich chiropractor and realtor I was sitting beside kept buying me beer. I got to see Ron Maclaine (the real one) and a Don Cherry look alike. But you probably don’t even know who those people are.
I didn’t give half a damn about the Superbowl cuz I hate football.
The weather of course has been freezing up north here but yesterday it warmed up during the day to a few degrees above freezing so most of the snow melted and then refroze on the streets and sidewalks, making my walk home from the bus depot treturous! My street is a slanted street and I was sideways going to my door and started sliding down the sidewalk. I couldn’t stop myself, pretty funny, set me back in my adventure.
Oh and Wil, my boyfriend got 80% in ViceCity without using cheats. Try and top that!!
I hope you make 1 million dollars
that isn’t my e-mail, I made it up
OMG i’m so jealous!!!!!!
It’s in the 80s. It sooo cold here in New York. The temerpature dropped to the single digits at one time and I think it was negative at the other.
The temperature rose to about 23F and the new casters were saying were having a break from the cold weather.
I’m also sending major Mojo your way for the auditions. GOOD LUCK WIL!!!
Man, I gotta quit hanging around the soapbox before I go to bed. I dreamt you somehow convinced a guy to screw a cat. There was more to it, but it was just…odd. Don’t worry, in my dream you were happily married to Anne. My dreams hate me.
Here’s hoping you get the I Robot part, if not more should be coming your way.

Hot Diggity! 80 degrees? Well, it was pretty balmy in Boston, too. It got up to a high of almost freezing yesterday. During the middle of last week the overnight lows were -14 Degrees Farenheit with the wind chill factored in. The front pages featured stories about homeless people who died overnight. Not fun.
On a happier note, I called the last interception of the game before the QB even cocked back his throwing arm. Go me!
Hey Wil, sounds like a typical weekend all in all.
The gardening sounds great. I have a lot of that to do myself. We are in the mid-50’s here though. I have 10 blue spruce trees I need to get planted. 🙂
Have a great week! Take care,
~Janece
Hi Wil,
Good to hear that everything is A-O-K on the home front.
Enjoy the weather while you can is right- The humidity will be back sooner then you want it, that’s for sure.
Did you see the latest issue of Star Trek Mag.?
They even cropped you out of the group picture from the Wedding.
No wories i cancelled me Subscription yesterday… Yes, a proud monkey i am…
Still wondering what was with you in a “command” dressed uniform though… ? Any clues what the deal was with that?
How’s the wife??? I hope she is feeling better then she was on New Years.
Let us know? We get to hear from you why doesn’t she help out with the sight?
Later—
Oh and for Adrienne….
The Helicopter is so boring. I watched my boyfriend play that game for hours on end when we didn’t have cable. It doesn’t move very fast and it’s hard to maneuver and as soon as you get it your wanted level soars! Oh well to each their own. I could blow stuff up all throughout the game not just with the helicopter.
Oh and I’ve had those nights when I have either been playing the game all day or watching my boyfriend play all day and we get in the car to go somewhere. He drives because I always think of Vice City strategies for avoiding traffic. Oh go through the red light, Go around that car, OH MY GOD THERE IS A POLICE CRUISER…FLOOR IT! lol. I would be a danger on the roads if I drove after playing that game.
Wil,
You didn’t miss much by not watching the game. Both the game and the commercials were ho-hum this year.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the J. Keith show. I was there and thought everyone did a great job. The “weather” in Utah was priceless. =)
Man, 80 degree weather in the winter and my late grandmother are the only things I miss about living in California. It snowed here in Cleveland for ten hours yesterday. There is more than a foot of snow in my front yard. Stupid lake effect snow.
Haha, I couldn’t have cared less about the Superbowl either. I almost went to a Superbowl gathering… for the free food. Stupid sports.
And I hear ya on the wasting time on computers… Although I’ve had good luck lately. Got my router installed with no hassle on Friday, I was shocked. I’m still waiting for it to explode and scorch my legs or something.
Ummm to Pat. Single digits is not cold. NEW YORK IS NOT EXPERIENCING COLD WEATHER. You and David Letterman should both come up here and experience REAL cold weather and then maybe you won’t bitch so much.
My boyfriend is working up in Northerns Alberta and this week it hit -40 degrees. No word of a lie. It’s pretty sad that when boston hits -14 factoring in the wind chill that that is the coldest it gets and people are dying. VERY VERY SAD.
Here it feels like there are ice crystals in the wind.Immediately upon walking outside your whole face freezes if it’s not covered and forget about not wearing gloves or a toque!
Americans need to wake up, realise they don’t have it so bad and quit their whining.
Hi Wil,
This warm weather in January thing is pretty neat. Sorry to hear about the computer problems, those definitely aren’t neat at all.
My friend’s surprise birthday party was during the SuperBowl yesterday, but she didn’t even know that it was SBS… she was wondering why there were black balloons in front of one of the houses on her block and thought there were so many cars in her neighborhood was because there was a funeral going on! I guess she missed the big ol’ “RAIDERS NATION” sign taped across the front of their house. Knowing it was SBS might have helped, too…
Anyway, I enjoyed the J Keith Show last week. It was very cool to talk to you & wow, is Anne a babe!
I SO wish I lived in California sometimes, like when it’s 80 there and like 10 here. Oh well, it’s at least nice to sit in front of the fire watching anything but the superbowl.
Sorry to hear about your computer troubles. I feel your pain.
There was a story on NPR friday about child stars. I heard you tell about what a poop you were when you were younger. Refreshing honesty and stuff.
Wow. 80F. That’s 27C for those of us on the metric system. That’s freaking summer weather!!
It’s been pretty chilly in Toronto this year…. Shouldn’t complain, I guess. The past couple of years have been relatively balmy. But, I have to say, walking to work at 7:30 in the morning, before the sun is out, with a temp of -22C (-8F) and a windchill of -31C (-24F)is a tad uncomfortable….
Sounds like you had a fairly quiet weekend, Wil. Glad to hear it. I watched the first part of Superbowl. Don’t particularly enjoy American football…much prefer soccer. The only reason I watched even that much of the Superbowl was because I was at my boyfriend’s parents’ place and they were watching it. About halfway through the second quarter, it occurred to me to ask who was playing… =)
Good luck for the audition results, Wil!
Em
My hubby’s addicted to vice city. he’s on the level now where he needs to beat someone up with a golf club.
Wil,
The Super Bowl was this past weekend?? Huh…sorry I missed all the hoopla. : )
Here in south central TX, the weather hasn’t been in the 80’s, but we’re anticipating the low 70’s by this coming weekend. Glad to hear you were able to hang out and play ball and work on the yard. That’s always relaxing for me.
Hopefully you’ll hear something this week about the audtion. If not, as someone else said, I’m sure more will follow. Hang in there…
Keeping the mojo flowing…
Take care,
I’m with ya on the Super Bowl, Wil. I used to think that I just didn’t like spectator sports, but that was belied by how much I enjoyed going to the minor-league ballpark in Memphis when I lived there. It was way more fun than sitting at home and watching a game, interspersed with about three hundred commercials, or paying big bucks for a game at some major league park. Then again, maybe I’m just a sci fi nerd.
Oh, and Falullah? Can we lighten up, just a little? I think that most people realize that it’s probably even colder further up north, just as they’re cognizant that it’s warmer further south. I’ve lived in New York, and it doesn’t usually require Arctic-grade winter gear. Have a little sympathy, willya…
We here in SE Wisconsin will trade some of that 80-degree weather for two of our wishes and three of our dreams.
Yeah, I tried to care about the Superbowl… but alas, I did not. I didn’t even really care about the commercials this year.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for you on the auditions (and my toes!)
*hugs*
Crystalia
Mmmmmmm……..mulch.
Sympathy for the weak and ignorant. Oh you poor dears have to put a coat on before leaving the house…boo hoo. Artic weather? Please quit making a mountain out of a mole hill…My point is you are exagerating and you just want sympathy when you don’t really need it. Hmmm typically American.
Geez…Wil. You have everybody in Canada and the eastern sea board of the states down to Carolina…not happy with you mentioning how nice of weather your getting. 80 degrees *whimpers* I wish. It is -11 here with a wind Chill of like -20! We got layers and layers upon layers of snow!
I slid down my sideway yesterday. Do I get any sympathy?? No because you are too preoccupied with the slight chill in the air. But how many of our citizens are dying, not very many if any because we are smart and do what we need to do to stay warm. BOO HOO HOO, POOR AMERICANS. I think this raised a vital social point. So many have it worse off than americans but these issues don’t matter until it happens to America. C’mon Wil help me out here…
Sorry for all the posts I will cut it out now.
fallulah, Ummmmmm flamming and trolling isn’t exceptable behaviour on this sit. People who usually post here are pretty layed back and good natured kidders….They don’t deserve such poor sports and sucky babys mouthing off. Cold is cold is cold no matter if it is -1 or -100. Chill OUT!
PS people here….Wil included are pretty Canadian loving people. You’ve obviously haven’t been here for too long or you’d have gotten a clue about that.
I was enjoying the wonderful Southern California weather this weekend, too. I took my son to Disney’s California Adventure and took a couple of rides on Grizzly Bear Rapids.
I was actually looking forward to this years Super Bowl, being a Bay Area native. But I’ve never seen such a boring, one-sided Super Bowl. I think the Raiders were sleepwalking through the game.
Luck on the auditions, Wil.
-1 degrees F in Detroit this morning. Enjoy your weather!
Wow! A real journal entry. It’s good to see you get candid, Wil.
I hope you’re down in the dumps, man. It’s cold a shitty here, and I’ve been working opposite shifts to my partner again. Hopefully the other stuff weighing on you doesn’t squander your appreciation of the other enjoyments you are able to enjoy.
Good luck!
80’s!!??
80’s??!!
You’re so damn lucky! We’re looking at 20-30 degree weather here in the midwest and that’s WARM compared to last week!
You should enjoy it. I know I would.
Jesus fucking christ.
would you people grow the fuck up?
Know how much time I wasted this weekend cleaning up stupid, childish, trolling comments here?
Take it someplace else. I don’t maintain this website so people can act like idiots.
It’s.
The.
Fucking.
WEATHER!
Big. Fucking. Deal.
Grow up.
70’s in Boulder, CO. but I wish it were colder. Would be nice to have some 30s and 3′ of snow.
Vice City is really appropriately named because I am completely addicted to it. I have to admit that I cheat like a mother. I don’t have the patience to play the levels without a crutch. I’m mostly finished with it now. I know I’ll never be 100% b/c I cheat, and that doesn’t bother me one bit. Am I the only one?
Im addicted to VC too dude, but my friends took it away from me. they said it was keeping me from my homework, theyre right 😛 thank god for friends
The friend whos keeping my game for me is exactly like you, he cheats for the missions, or when he goes on a rampage… hehe
on the auditions, the Superbowl, playing with the kids and cold weather in Canada.
About the auditions. You’ll find out soon enough, and as you’ve said, you aren’t sitting stressing about it. Best you can do is enjoy the time spent with Anne and the kids now, if you are a go on the auditions, you will appreciate the time you get with them now, if you aren’t, then it is definitely NOT time wasted.
I was looking forward to the commercials, but we only managed to get the Canadian versions and they sucked pretty bad. If I see another Rayovac commercial anytime soon it will be too soon. (although the ozzy commercial was funny the first time at least). No choice but to watch the game, but at least it was a paid day so that wasn’t so bad.
Very cool that you spent the time playing with the kids, what an awesome way to spend the weekend. Since I had to come to work the closest I managed was a $10 CAD (that’s like $0.40 USD) bet with one of my teenagers about who would win the game. I just bet against him not having a clue who would win and lost. Made his day at least. I did get some Crash Bandicoot in before the rest went to bed though, so that was cool and fun play time.
Vancouver was nice, some rain but not bad. Didn’t need to do up a coat at all. Have only seen snow once this year (Christmas Eve of all days). Americans seem to forget that Canada is wide and has as many tempature changes as the states, albeit somewhat more northerly. Canadians seem to forget that Canada doesn’t end west of Ontario, or at the Rockies, and that the rest of us don’t bitch about the weather, we just move somewhere else 🙂
Cheers from the wet coast of Canada 😉
you’ll hear from them soon, wil. sounds like a great opportunity for you. keep your chin up. ^_^
well,t hats that for another week *sigh*
80 degrees you have to be kidding me!! Its been like 10 degrees here in Pittsburgh its like 14 right now. WAlking to class is the worst my god I freeze i swear my whole body just turns into a human ice cube. Also I just saw The weakest link star trek edition the other day my god it was pretty fun! Wil you very smart I think you should have went to whole way. Also You saying you Loved roxanne I can not see why she took that so bad my god it was nothing! We mess around with each other here all the time my friends and I with each other and we say horrrrible stuff and it just breazes off people back. Anyways sorry off the topic haha but Sounds like you had a good weekend. P.S. My woman mariah sang the national anthem better at last years super bowl and will be singing the national anthem for the dAytona 500 this year!!! so eveyrone watch 🙂 Boy im going way off topic for everything arent I haha sorry.
Oh one more thing i forgot to ask how did that Comedy Central thing go?? I thought it was going to be on tv but i guess I was wrong haha.
Wil!!!!!!!!!
Buy “The Getaway” for PS2. Its like GTA, but much more violent, and it has swear words in it. Games which have swearing in are cool! There’s nothing more satisfying than walking round a brothel, swearing and killing “thugs”!!
