WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5: defame your stereo

defame your stereo

I don't remember how I found them, but I have two new favorite websites: Defamer and Stereogum. They touch my sense of humor in a way that, if Loretta touched Cleveland that way, he'd say, "Oh, Loretta, that tickles me."

There will probably be light blogging for the next week or so. I think the problem with my neck, the cold that I'm barely holding at bay, and about two weeks of really restless sleep are symptoms of trying to do too goddamn much stuff all at once.

Try to take it easy & get lots of rest of you can

I was putting up my Christmas tree & I was curious if you had a Christball ball for sell - I had one with my college on it & thought it would be cool to have one of you & Dustpuppy from UF so I thought I would ask

Stereogum runs a great site. If you haven't hit up this site before, you should for music and commentary:

Nice Family Guy reference. That's a great episode.

That Defamer site reminds me a lot of fametracker.com -- same sort of gushing cynicism.

Posted by: Nugget | November 30, 2004 04:03 PM

best post evar!

i love defamer too.

Posted by: steeeve | November 30, 2004 04:19 PM

Dont you ahve a book signing to go to tonight Wil? :)

Anyway, Defamer is deffinately a bookmarking sight... as for stereogum, my work has decided to block that site because of "adult themes". What kind of BS is that? I cant surf from home, I'm still on a 26.6 Dialup!! Grr.

See you in a few hours Wil!

Heh... I was just laughing at the People headline on Defamer...

"PARIS HILTON CHANGES HAIR COLOR!!!!"

also; world ending in 15 minutes, millions spontaneously explode, and locusts devour Ohio.

That sounds like a techy Dr's request.

"Now Wil, I only want you doing some light blogging for the next week. Take 2 defrags and call me in the morning"

Take it easy hope you feel better!

Posted by: Drew | November 30, 2004 05:48 PM

I hope you feel better soon. Don't try to do too much with your neck in bad shape; you'll regret it for a loooooooooooooong time.

Take care.

Posted by: Abby | November 30, 2004 06:23 PM

I hope you feel better soon so you can write for us here on this wonderful blog of your and let us know what's going on in the life and mind of yours.

Thanks for posting those links... I've never been to those websites before now, but I'll definitely be checking them out regularly now. They are effing hilarious! I hope you feel better soon, Wil! *huggles*

Posted by: Kimberly | November 30, 2004 07:27 PM

Lots of liquids, but I'm sure Mama and Mrs. Wheaton has already told you that. ;) Feel better, Wil. =D

my husband just introduced me to this page. i just read your intro and the faqs page. i thought you must of been somewhere around my age. i am 29. just 29. today is my birthday. ya keep referring to yourself as a geek. you cant be the biggest geek though. that would go to my husbad, martin. but ya must be doing all right because he found out about your blog through slash dot and you not only have heard of linux but go to linucon.

im a pretty good geek myself. i think its cool that your first webpage effort came from yahoo geocities. thats where i first tried to do stuff too. but back then it was just geocities and it was fairly new back in June 1996.
AND I LIKED WESLEY CRUSHER.
sorry for the bad typing. its hard to do anything requiring me to hold down the shift key and another key and hold a sleeping baby at the same time. hope ya get better soon.

Hey, sweet! The pic of Wil in the VH1.com "My Coolest Years" thing on Stereogum identifies him as "Wil Wheaton, *AUTHOR*, Just A Geek" Weeee!

Posted by: Mal | November 30, 2004 09:20 PM

Ah, yes the feeling of being run down from being too busy I know this well having worked full-time and going to school part-time. Best cure is plenty of rest, I also find watching reruns of star trek classic also helps to relax (he he).

Cheers

Posted by: Jessie | November 30, 2004 11:41 PM

Wil-

I found something, you may or may not already know about it. It's from VH1.com's "my coolest years" photo gallery. Spock has nothing on you.

Check out the image here.

You can browse the rest of the celebs here.

That picture owns.

Scientists have found a 100% cure for the common cold. Get a 10,000 links to your blog and you'll never have another one.

I'm giving you one more for having a great blog and for being the star of one of my top 5 films.

Posted by: RuKsaK | December 1, 2004 04:26 AM

Hey Wil, One of those sites you mentioned links to VH1's "My Coolest Years" and picture #22 of 34 is YOU dressed as Spock!

http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/my_coolest_years/series_photos.jhtml?popThis=openFlip(1493840)

It all comes back to Wil.

Posted by: Andrew | December 1, 2004 05:16 AM

AS for the link at vh1, cool. You look like you would be a great vulcan. Perhaps a decendant of Spock. Are you related in anyway to Leonard Nimoy? The resemblance is scary. Must be the ears.

Anyway, take care of yourself and get well.

PS: Live long and prosper

Posted by: JDB | December 1, 2004 08:28 AM

Hmmm...you don't feel well and won't be blogging much, but you have time to hit on Natalie Portman on FARK.com. Sounds suspicious! ;)

Just kidding! Big hugs from the Pacific Northwest, hope you feel better soon so you can properly celebrate the holidays.

Feel better, Wil. The heating pad idea is a good one... - k

I can't believe I actually knew what you were talking about in the first paragraph.
