weekend.

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.

Hehehe, Vice City… coolest game I’ve ever played…

Ooh, it’s bitter cold here in good old NJ! I feel the cold worse than most people I talk to- while my co-workers wear a sweater and they’re fine, I’m wearing 4- you got it, 4- sweatshirts, long johns under my jeans, 2 pairs of socks, and a knit cap- and this is inside, mind you! It’s just really cold in my store. Wil, I wish I could be in your 80 degree weather… I have sympathy for those of you who are too cold (or too hot), like me, and if anyone slips down their driveway, I’ll feel sympathy for you, too- but I have to know first, don’t I? Fallulah expected sympathy for sliding down her (?) driveway, but she hadn’t told anyone about it, so how could she get sympathy? So there. I am now going to vanish in a puff of logic.
Love, Alicia

I hope that the audition news that comes back is excellent!
And enjoy your 80 deg F weather – we’re currently 19 deg F – but that’s like a heat wave since the high has been only 10 deg F the last few days.

Heyyyy. I don’t remember writing that.
Must be the meds.
But, DAMN I’m funny! That is some funny shit right there.
Yes sirree, bob.

Dammit, I forgot what I was going to say.
Oh, yeah. Wil, you spent 18 hours on computer things. That time wasn’t wasted, it was a valuable learning experience.
And I’m glad it was you, and not me. That shit is frustrating!

..stupid computers”..THAT was the BEST part!!

Wow, 80 huh. Oddly enough it’s been that hot here too. Actually I heard that on Sunday it got up to 90, which means we “Cast members” get a nice cup of ice to keep us quote, unquote, cool. Glad it was a little cooler in Pasadena.
Wow, I can not imagine what it is like to wait that long to hear an answer about something like an audition. Been to one in our lives, heard our fate on the same day. Cheers to you for patience. Although they say the best is worth waiting for so we know whatever happens is for the best and we hope you get the part. As for the “Who’s the Ross?” show, we hated Ross on friends, but sounds like an interesting show, considering watching it for your part and of course Tony Danza. Hope to see that soon and have a great week, we know we will. *cheesy smile*

Wil,
I’m a long time reader, big time fan, and first time poster.
Anyways, just like to say that you’re the greatest, and that your site cheers me up when I’m in a bad mood.
Anyways, thanks to you I’m now reading a copy of I, Robot for my term paper in English, and IT’S AWESOME! I really hope you get the part. As an aspiring actor myself, I know how it is not to get parts, and here’s some mojo to you, to me, and to all of us….mojo….mojo.
Peace,
Scott

80! It’s freakin’ 19 here with no end in sight!

For a change, the weather was cooler in Florida than it was where the Bucs played. I live in Melbourne, Fla.
I am curious to know what computer stuff occupied your weekend? I have been converting a website from MySQL to Postgres. The PHP frontend is working. The backend cgi was written in C++ and has been a bear to convert.
BTW I saw “Buddy System” on AMC Sunday morning. An excellent performance. How old you were then?
Regards, Ken

oh, no- you play vice city??? i hope you don’t let your kids play that! no joke- that game is such crap. anyway, i still think you’re cool. and i’m jealous you can go outside when it’s 18 degrees where i am! 🙂

Wow. Since I found this site, I’ve found it very different to hear things like what you post from someone famous.
Then today after setting my controller down less than 24 hours ago, I see:
“Played so much Vice City my thumbs hurt, and I dreamed that I was Tommy Vercetti last night. Very lucid, very strange.”
And regard my sore left thumb with a strange amusement as I think, “Wil F’n Wheaton plays Vice City.”
And then I just think… Wow. (And wonder more about what games you play.)

Yeah! Bring on the Vice City! Haven’t had the dreams yet but can play the game at any time for any length of time! And the louder you play it the better!
Now get out there and car jack some speedo wearing guy driving a Ferrari!
