How about that annoying splash screen, huh?
Don’t worry, it’s just there for today, to announce the arrival of COOL NEW WWDN SHIRTS!!
Check them out.
No, seriously, check them out!
Update: The response has been incredible! I am really happy. I think this design is just awesome, and apparently so do you guys.
But here’s the coolest thing, ever. When we were watching “24” tonight, Ryan said to me, “Hey, Wil, do you have any extra T-shirts?”
“For who?” I said.
“For me, man! Your shirt is so cool, I want one! And some stickers, too!”
I gave it to him, and he told me he’s going to wear it to school tomorrow.
I tried to act tough, but my grinchy heart grew two sizes today.

She loves Big Brother:

“I don’t have a problem with (government surveillance). I don’t have anything to hide,” Turner said. “I wish there was more government monitoring. I want to know if somebody on my block is reading a book on how to build a bomb or if there is anyone reading ‘Catcher in the Rye.’ They say there’s a link between that book and many serial killers.”

Hey, I read and enjoyed “Catcher in the Rye.” I encouraged my stepson to read “Catcher in the Rye,” and several of his friends also read it. Reading books is dangerous! Reading makes people think! Serial killers don’t kill people! Books kill people!
So I think you should do your civic duty, and report us to the FBI because . . . well, we might be up to something you don’t like. Something dangerous like reading a book. Maybe not now, but maybe sometime in the future, or maybe not at all.
But you’d better take pre-emptive action, because that is the American way.
. . . you want Freedom fries with that?

Several readers informed me that Book of Days was on last night. My personal favorite was,

“I RED YOUR SITE AND YOU SHOLD BE MORE LIKE YOU CHARACTER ON BOOK OF DAYS!”

Uhm. Yeah. Thanks for playing I just got a free AOL CD at Blockbuster.
It got me thinking. I never really shared my thoughts on the movie . . . so here we go:

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. ”
