That name again is Mr. Plow.
Anne and I spent a wonderful couple of days away, and enjoyed simply being Mr. and Mrs. Wheaton.
Thank you to everyone who shared such kind comments with us. I showed them to Anne, and we were both very touched your kindness.
Some highlights from our getaway:
- Playing Putt Putt golf together, like we do every year. Winner got a foot massage (that was me, for those of you keeping score at home. First time in four years I've won!)
- Walking down the pier, marveling at the beautiful clouds the whole way, then running back to the street when they opened up on us as soon as we got to the very end.
- Sleeping with the window open so we could hear the rain.
- Breakfast in bed two days in a row.
- Guinness and darts at the pub yesterday afternoon.
- Driving down PCH to Malibu to meet my family for brunch today.
- Loving each other's company
Before we left, I did an interview with Something Awful for a Teen Magazine parody that Frolixo put up on Saturday. I can't figure out how to link directly to SA stories, so you'll have to scroll down to Saturday the 8th to read more of this:Thanks to Max, who gave up the link in the comments.
additional note: I guess there's a Matrix spoiler around that interview, and more than a few people have seen the spoiler and freaked out. Sorry for not mentioning that when I originally posted this link. If you haven't seen Matrix III yet, you prolly shouldn't follow that link.
Exclusive Interview with Teen Heartthrob Wil Wheaton!
We were lucky enough to nab one of the hottest young stars of today for a one on one interview. Wil Wheaton has starred in a variety of movies like "Stand By Me", and TV shows like "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Recently has was involved in a scandal involving the accidental death of three prostitutes at his posh LA condo, but thankfully has been cleared of all charges. As we sat down for the interview, Wil seemed ill at ease, yet sipping on his rum and coke, and downing a few horse tranquilizers calmed him down. His towering bodyguards removed my belt and took my pencils away, a normal precaution against an assassination attempt against Wil.SA: So Wil, let's get started. First off, what's your favorite color?
Wil:The color of money! Wait. That's "what movie did Tom Cruise most recently ruin." Sorry about that. My favorite color is something like the color of drying blood on the face of the ignorant in the moonlight, the silver rays reflecting off the crimson puddles. Oh, and before you look at it, it helps to huff a bunch of ether.
SA: Interesting. What's your favorite food?
Wil: Until you've eaten tapioca off the firm flat belly of a whore in Thailand, you haven't lived.
I told Frolixo that I was going to be a real profane bastard in the interview, and he totally got on board with that idea. It's not for the faint of heart (or my mom), but I think it's pretty goddamn funny.

This article from Something Awful isn't just a great interview with Wil Wheaton, but has some great tips that I'm sure Martha Stewart would be jealous of, since she didn't come up with 'em first. Might not be safe for [Read More]
hey wil. your weekend sounds perfect! i'm glad that you had that valuable time alone with Anne. It is always good to have some alone time with each other....to just 'be'. (if that makes any sense!!?)
your interview is cool, what i've read of it...you're a blast!!! but anyway...keep a hold of the happiness dude....its the best way to be.

Posted by: rach at November 9, 2003 05:37 PMIt's funny because it's (not) true. :p
I just risked my polytech prilveges to view that.
Posted by: Matt at November 9, 2003 05:46 PMGlad you had a good anniversary weekend ... love the interview. :)

As for the Teen Mag parody, LOL. That's awesome. hehehe Being a bastard...good touch.

Posted by: Nikki at November 9, 2003 06:30 PMGood to hear about the weekend Wil! Just watched you get your ass shot up in Toy Soldiers. I don't know what it is but I keep waiting for Frodo to come around the corner in that movie. Hmm, I'm odd I guess. Well Wil, congrats on the aniversary.
Posted by: popa at November 9, 2003 06:34 PMoh god that article made me laugh so hard. Somethingawful knows where it's at. I live for reading about Rich Kyanka's cat. Oh yah and Cliff Yablonski is my dream man.
Posted by: annette at November 9, 2003 06:44 PMI think Wil B. Bastard should be the celebrity spokesperson for the Black and Decker Jar Opener.
Posted by: Fred Fowler at November 9, 2003 06:47 PMWould work with again! A+++++
By the way, could you wait a few weeks before cashing that check, thanks.
Posted by: frolixo at November 9, 2003 06:52 PMHey Wil!
Sounds like you 2 had a great weekend. That interview was hilarious! By the way, I just saw Jane White is Sick and Twisted. I love your character. "If it's a serial killer you want, it's a serial killer I'll be"... I love it...
You forgot to mention that it was Robbie's birthday today!!
Posted by: Kira at November 9, 2003 07:41 PMYay for you, winning at Putt-putt! (Nice going Anne, letting him win! *wink*)
But ... "Recently has was involved in a scandal involving the accidental death of three prostitutes at his posh LA condo, but thankfully has been cleared of all charges." ... What?
I must have missed that in the news ..... *g*
Posted by: Graysong at November 9, 2003 08:09 PMAre you sure you weren't secretly setting up your presidential campaign while you were gone?

Posted by: Dwiv at November 9, 2003 08:44 PMNow, with a post titled like that, someone's gotta come back with...
"Our forecast calls for flurries of passion, followed by extended periods of gettin' it ON..."
(Happy anniversary!)
I love that you won your first game of putt putt in 4 years when there was a nice foot massage prize at the end. Have you been hustling all these years? Sounds a bit suspiscious to me ;-D
Posted by: Miki at November 9, 2003 09:56 PMFor the record, Tom Cruise has ruined a lot of movies since The Color of Money. MI, MI:2 and soon MI:3 come to mind. Not to mention Vanilla Sky, and I'd like to dig up Stanley Kubrick and kick him in what's left of his balls for Eyes Wide Shut. I haven't seen The Last Samurai, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it will be a travesty in celluloid.
Posted by: Brian at November 9, 2003 10:17 PMWil...!
I know and you know that you have
never been to Thailand...
and I thought it was rice puddin
with raisens ?
*cheers*
Yay good weekends!
Also, you're right.
You haven't lived until you've eaten tapioca off the firm flat belly of a whore in Thailand.
Seriously.
Posted by: EnglishBen at November 10, 2003 01:36 AMBYOT, bring your own tapioca.
Posted by: Jato at November 10, 2003 03:02 AMHa. Wil that was the funniest thing i've read in weeks! Good one!
Posted by: Sarah at November 10, 2003 03:11 AMIt sounds like you & Anne had a marvelous weekend.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
And, I think I have a new favorite color.
§¦¬)
That was a damn funny interview. I always look forward to your updates every single day...
Posted by: MacBros at November 10, 2003 06:09 AMI'm glad you had a romantic weekend. I guess that makes two of us, I kinda owed it to my girlfriend after spending the last month focused on a website that I had to rush out.
It felt so to good to just focus on her again, why did I stop in the first place?
Posted by: playgod at November 10, 2003 06:13 AMHi Wil,
Did you know that's it was Robbie McNeill's birthday yesterday? I know you two had a lot of fun working with him back in the day.
I love the random Simpsons quotes!
Cheerio,
Azure
wil, just wanted to say i love your blog and...THANKS FOR THE MATRIX SPOILER. i've been purposely avoiding any reviews/articles for weeks now. i honestly didnt know. ya coulda warned us...
Posted by: Bill at November 10, 2003 09:10 AMOMFG!!!!! That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in ages!!!
Posted by: Stargazer at November 10, 2003 11:59 AMAt the end of "The Cat in the Hat" the mom comes home and everything's spotless! Crazy screenwriters...
Posted by: Andrew Kornfeld at November 10, 2003 12:18 PMTo the previous comment posted by Andrew Kornfeld... MAN! You just ruined it for me. You couldn't have just let me waste my $6.00 on the matinee like everyone else????
HAHA.
Anyway, Wil, congrats on the gr8 weekend.
Posted by: Tammy at November 10, 2003 12:27 PMMy face!! It burns with spoilers!
Posted by: Jason Glaser at November 10, 2003 01:24 PMHahahahahahaha! That SA article was good stuff. I didn't know Wil had that side to him...
Posted by: Ben at November 10, 2003 01:36 PMWil, you are amazing. Keep up your pugnacious pundits!
Posted by: Kroeme at November 10, 2003 01:44 PMThe funny thing is, if that had been Corey Feldman, the interview would've been non-fiction.
That article on the two Cories was also very entertaining. :)

Posted by: Eric B at November 10, 2003 02:30 PMSick, sick, sick ... and very funny. But you probably won't get any jobs now because producers will be terrified of what you'd say in the promo interviews. Or maybe you'll be confined to Farley Bros. movies.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
Posted by: synchronicity at November 10, 2003 04:25 PMFunny parody, BUT, if the stuff about the Matrix is true, then you should really warn people that there are movie spoilers. Yes, I've already heard that it sucks, but I like to find out just how much it compares to the suckiest suck that ever sucked for myself.
Posted by: Joe at November 10, 2003 04:52 PMIf only ALL interviews were that much FUN to read. My favorite:
2 Blow Jobs on a first date! Best suggestion EVER! I'm hoping you're able to watch the real Jaws 3 IN 3D!
i agree. the romantic first date thing was the best. :) rock on.
Posted by: jennifizzle at November 10, 2003 07:15 PMFine banter. I must say that the inset picture looks like some bizarre laserdisc arcade game screen shot, at a moment of highly stylized power-uppance.
Posted by: Nick at November 10, 2003 09:34 PMFirst time here, great blog. Will be back again. Liked the Hooters girl story, funny how people you don't know can always knock you down a peg or two!
Posted by: Joe at November 10, 2003 10:20 PMGood article wil, to bad I still think your a dick. Oh well.
Posted by: JP at November 11, 2003 01:10 AMYou did a good job of parodying (sic?) your own writing style. When I read that on S/A the other day (and thought it was made up), I thought they had hit the nail on the head with "My favorite color is something like the color of drying blood on the face of the ignorant in the moonlight, the silver rays reflecting off the crimson puddles.".
Now I know why.
Posted by: mcsey at November 11, 2003 07:11 AMSomethingawful.com is very humorous, although, Zack Parsons (one of the main writers there) recently defrauded me of 31 dollars meant for a banner advertisement.
Yeah Wil, swearing is reaaaaalll funny and the Matrix spoiler just topped my day.
Maybe Tom Cruise 'ruins' movies by starring in them, but I haven't seen him blow any major plot points this week.
You may have never heard of the Matrix but its at least slightly comparable to the Star Wars you love in the post above this one.
Wait forgive me not hearing of "The Matrix" was part of the humour.
I come to this site pretty often, and as soon as you finish talking about your wife it becomes a definite low point in my experience of reading.
Posted by: Dave at November 12, 2003 06:14 AMDave, you seem like a real fruit-loop.
Do you really believe Wesley Crusher is the reason you remained a virgin until the age of 34 or that "Humanity" has not progressed to interstellar travel?
I think you should see a mental health doctor Dave, before your found wandering the streets with your pants around your ankles screaming that Wil Wheaton ruined your life.
If your really not that psychotic, then you are a wit. But I'm guessing your psychotic.
Wipe the foam from your mouth Steven.
I guess I just got flamed by 'Tha Possee'! I have no major problem with Wil, I read his site almost daily and NORMALLY find him to be a pretty good read. I just thought that for someone who works within the movie business would have some basic grasp of the fact that spoilers suck. Maybe Something Awful just isn't to my taste.
The whole comments system allows people to make a comment about the post above. Just because I don't happen to agree with the 'I love Wil and EVRYTHING HE DOES!!!!11' crowd doesn't automatically make me psychotic Steven (or 34 for that matter. Im a young dumb 23 year old :)
Maybe Wil should change the rules to "Say anything you like, providing its nice and friendly to Wil" It would sure save time for people like Steven who only want to hear nice sanitised friendly posts.

Posted by: Keith Glenn at November 12, 2003 07:32 PMDave,
I'm really sorry about that spoiler.
The honest truth is, I hated Matrix II so much, I didn't even give Matrix III a second thought, so I skimmed right past that spoiler (which I figured was probably fake, anyway).
Anyway, I added a note up in the entry, and I hope you and anyone else who had their enjoyment of that movie messed up by that link will accept my apology.
Posted by: wil at November 13, 2003 06:04 PMThanks Wil,
Your apology is accepted and appreciated!
