This morning, my ten-minutes-a-day thing is kind of a challenge, because there’s really nothing to write about. Honestly. Nothing has happened since yesterday that I can make even remotely interesting.
I thought about joking, thusly:
So long, suckers!
I sat down to check e-mail this morning, and discovered that I hit the trifecta: I won a lottery in New Zealand, another one in Nigeria, and got an offer to become the legal guardian for some Irish billionaire who’ll give me a whole bunch of money just for showing up.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be under a pile of money.
But that’s cheap and too easy, and I wasn’t really willing to go all the way with it and tell you about how I’m going to have the biggest penis in the universe that’s built for maximum loving, daring . . . so I’ll see if I can dig anything else interesting out of my skull.
. . .

Nope. Nothing.
OH! I know. I’m quite proud of this week’s Games of our Lives, which is a game called Astro Fighter. I wish you’d all go over to the AV Club to read it. Thankyouverymuch.
Yesterday, I spent most of the day writing next week’s Games of our Lives, as well as a review of a new game (I probably shouldn’t discuss specifics right now) but it was really fun to pick a classic arcade game that dovetailed with the current console game I reviewed.
When I was done with that, I did a short training walk with Anne and the dogs. We’re nowhere near running, yet, but it still feels great to get out and walk every single day.
OH! This is cool: Anne, the kids, and I are going to run in the 10th Annual Race For the Cure at the Rosebowl on February 26th. We did it last year, and it was Hawesome. We’re not going to do any fundraising for this race, but we will be fundraising for the RnR Marathon later this year. I am planning some REALLY cool fundraising events, and I’ve even convinced Anne to write in a special blog that we’re building just for that.
Of course, if any of you reading this are interested in contributing $5 or $10 for the Race for the Cure, I bet we could raise a few hundred dollars for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. If you’re interested, send me an e-mail or mention it in comments, and we’ll figure out a way to take your donation. In fact, now that I think about it, it would be Hawesome (and probably pretty easy) to raise at least $500 in tiny donations, if the stats about people who read my blog are true.
Okay, so this entry isn’t entirely lame, and at least I’ve stayed on target for writing something every morning. That’s helping wake up the part of my creative monkey that needs to be jumping around my head to finish the book.

Hey, Wil. Donations are a good idea. If you get a chance, email me at [email protected] and we’ll figure out a way for me to send you a donation for your race. Anyway, maybe the rest of your day will liven up! Beyond the spam, that is. Gotta love that spam, right?

I would also like to donate something, but no one I know locally is doing anything.
Danke.
Is Race for the Cure set up so you can make an online donation page? I did that for AIDSwalk, and it worked beautifully.
I’d love to donate…I’ve heard PayPal is a really easy way to take donations.
Well, I’m flat broke, but if I did have the money to spare, I’d definitely donate. I think I’m going to look up some “Walk-A-Thons” that might be happening in my area, instead. Every little bit helps, right?
Hi Wil – great idea – I will happily donate to the cause. My neice and cousin do the Susan G. Komen 3-day walk every year because my aunt died of breast cancer. It is a charity that is close to my heart and I totally support your involvement. Since I have not figured out how to email you yet, please let me know how to send you the donation by emailing me at [email protected].
And for someone who had nothing to talk about when you started this blog, you did pretty damn good at writing an entertaining piece. It’s amazing what ten minutes can accomplish some days…..
Happy to donate, and it’s always fun to donate via poker… =)
Hi Wil, Sounds like a great cause…I’d be pleased to donate.
I would like to donate as well. I am walking (not running!) in the race here in Saint Louis this June as I have the past couple of years. It is such a good cause and it makes my heart happy to be a part of it.
if you have some place where I can snail mail – I’ll send something. Hubby doesn’t trust the net for sending money or paying anything yet.
I’ll gladly donate $$$ dollars for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Email at [email protected]
Wil,
Definitely not a lame post… but not Hawesome, either.
Honestly, that wasn’t meant as a jab. I just wanted an excuse to type Hawesome.
I’m with Reddy about the snail mail (if that can work out). Needless to say, I would like to donate, too.
P.S. So, after reading the first part of the post, you do have the biggest one in four counties? bad joke, I know. I’ll leave now.
Awwww…. I wish I had disposable income right now. Then I could send Mr.PayPal lotsa donations for all kind of causes. And buy more books. And CDs.
Oh wait, that’s why my blog’s for…
I’m in for $10.
Oh…e-mail is [email protected]
wil – my family has walked in the Race for the Cure every year for the last decade or so (we have long family history of the disease). Sadly this year we have moved to a part of the country where there is no nearby Race, so e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know where to send it and I will donate the $90 our little family of three would have spent on entrance fees this year.
Hello everyone,
While on the topic of worthy causes,
http://www.songsforsixtyfiveroses.com
The project is pretty neat and it’s for John Plymale’s daughter (ex Sex Police singer), who was just diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (65 roses is how kids pronounce the disease). Poke around, send this around, it’s for a good cause and it’s a great idea worthy of support.
Note: great cover of Superchunk’s Driveway and covers of other classic NC indie gems…
I’ll be doing the Race for the Cure in April up in Indianapolis (along with my team – the Bushido Babes), but I’ll be happy to donate to your efforts, too! Just point me in the direction of your donation page.
Wil, I’d totally throw you a fiver if you had some way of taking Paypal or something…
another vote for PayPal , i’ll definitely donate some $$ (or £ at least 😉 )
WIL –
I too would LOVE to donate to the cause 🙂
I also HIGHLY RECCOMEND
PAYPAL.
Since I have a paypal account – It would be the EASIEST way for me to get the money to you
AND THE MOST CONFIDENTIAL.
as all we need is an email
like –
[email protected]
to send it to you,
to protect you and us..
not that we need protection from you of course 😀
man this thing really needs an edit function 😛
I hate spelling errors
anyway I
RECOMMEND, PAYPAL!
Hi! I’d love to make a small donation..email me at [email protected] and let me know how to go about it.
Becky
Wil – if you don’t go the paypal route, I will also include my email here so you can drop me a line and tell me how I can donate.
– [email protected]
Aww, that’s lovely that your doing a run for charity. My friend has invited me to do one with her but I don’t think my appearance actually shows the reality of how unfit I am and I’d rather avoid the embarassment of coming in last and everyone staring at me insolently as I blush furiously. I would donate some money but I’m in Scotland. Do you take £’s????
Okay, I have to admit the biggest penis in the universe thing had me chuckling. However, when you got to the part where you were…
…
…
Nope. Nothing.
OH! I know. All I could picture was Whoopi Goldberg in the movie “The Associate” if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it. Anyway, it just had me laughing for five minutes. So, thank you for that refreshing laugh. =)
Just had one other thought Wil. Since it would seem you already have the “Biggest ‘one’ in four counties” how much “ONE” does one really need?
Just a question. LOL
