The reviews have been incredible too. Check out a little bit:

The legions of Trek fans who have rediscovered Wheaton as a guy much like themselves, as well as those weblog readers who enjoy Wil's humor but don't know the difference between trilithium and tribbles, will find Barefoot irresistible . . . the author's humility is an effective antidote for the feeling that one might be about to read the memoirs of yet another self-indulgent celebrity blowhard -- which Mr. Wheaton certainly is not.

Wil Wheaton accomplishes something in his new book, Dancing Barefoot, that is genuinely astonishing. He weaves true life tales that are both geeky and emotional at the same time . . . It's funny, it's poignant, and it's real.

somebody get this freakin' duck away from me

Cool!

I never expected the reaction to this little book to be so positive, or so enthuisastic. It's really exciting. Matter of fact, I've increased the first printing by 50% to cover the demand. :)

In non-book news, things are changing dramatically on the acting front: about 3 weeks ago, my agents, who really hadn't done jack for me in over a year, gave me the "I think we should just be friends" phone call.

See, there are several agents who work at the agency, and only one of them actually gave a shit about finding me work. So he called me and said, "I can't do this on my own, and I think you should go someplace else where you will have better representation."

It was good news, because I'd already decided that I needed to get new agents who worked hard for me. I just hadn't done it because I have been so busy writing.

But when I got the phone call, I was all, "Wait. YOU are breaking up with ME?!"

That's never happened to me before. It was tough to not feel like a loser for a few days. I mean, agents don't drop a client if they think there's a good chance of booking jobs for him.

Man, it's tough being a "used to be famous" guy. Hollywood is so effing narrow-minded and afraid to take chances . . . it drives me crazy. I know that I have the ability to turn in good performances, and seeing those opportunities go to untalented flavors of the month just sucks.

Speaking of opportunities, I have two auditions this week: one this afternoon for an NBC movie of the week, where I play a total dirtbag guy, who cheats on his girlfriend with some tramp who steals all his money. Then, when his money is gone, he tries to go back to the girlfriend, who dumps him. It should be fun.

Then later this week, I have a call that I'm very excited about: it's to play Kenneth Bianchi in a movie about The Hillside Strangler. It's based on a true story of this dirtbag guy, who cheats on his girlfriend with some tramp who steals all his money. Then, when his money is gone, he kills a bunch of people.

Wait. That's not right.

Well, something like that, anyway.

Heh. In the time it's taken my to write this, the dogs have exhausted themselves, and they're passed out on the floor. Strangely, the place to take naps is not under my desk . . . it's under the dining room table.
