Extra Points

In the Chicago Sun-Times, Paige Wiser says:

Last week, Forbes.com went to the trouble of rating the top celebrity blogs. The winner? “Stand by Me” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation” alum Wil Wheaton. He writes every day at WilWheaton.net, and is impressively coherent, taking more than a few self-deprecating shots at himself.
Of course, it’s interesting to note that the best-rated celebrity blogger isn’t that much of a celebrity. But he gets extra points in my book for his online gift shop, where you can buy a “Wil Wheaton Dot Net” thong. Remember: There are all kinds of ways to express yourself.

Heh. I’m working my way up to that “B” list, slowly but surely.
Speaking of the “B” list, you know that shitty looking movie “The Core?”
Well, why not take the thirteen bucks you’d spend at the movies, and ownthe shitty-looking movie they ripped off? As an added bonus, you get to see me die, engulfed in a flood of molten lava.
Come on, you know you want to see the movie described as “Absolute junk, one of the worst films I have seen. You will be doing well just to stay awake for the duration. ”

Baby Morrone is here
Our own Megan Morrone gave birth to Annabella Wells Morrone at 8:47 p.m. last Monday. In addition to a full head of brown hair, Annabella was 8 pounds, 3 ounces, and 19 inches long. Mother Megan feels great, and is quite possibly the proudest mother in the world. Send Megan an email, or if you prefer snail mail, here’s the address:
Megan Morrone
c/o TechTV
650 Townsend, Suite 500
San Francisco, California 94103

I know that Megan is going to be a great mom, because she likes monkeys even more than I do.
Congratulations, Megan! You’ll be enjoying a full night’s sleep . . . before the end of the year. 😉

A little help for my friends

My pal Sarah is an amazing photographer. She’s so amazing, I’d like to see her work shared with the world . . . or at least that portion of the world that drinks Jones Soda.
Take a look at some of her work, and vote for your favorite.
You’ll be glad you did.
Also, my very good friend, fellow actor, and former room mate, Chris Hardwick, has started up his very own website. He promised to buy me a new car if I sent him 15,000 visitors. So get to work, and I’ll give you a ride.*

Home Again

I am back from my vacation. Spent about 30 hours in Las Vegas, where I won 41 dollars, paid way too much for a mediocre meal, and saw “O,” which is breathtaking. I highly reccommend it.
After Vegas, Anne and I flew home, unpacked our bags, loaded the car, and drove to Lake Tahoe with the kids and Ferris. The drive was great: Anne and I listened to 80s CDs that we made, and the kids watched DVDs on my iBook. The eight hour drive raced by.
While we were up there, over two feet of snow fell, and the temperature only got over 33 once! It was awesome. We went sledding (tubing blows doors on regular sleds), introduced Ferris to the concept of bounding through chest-deep snow drifts, and just enjoyed being away from that pesky Real World.
