360

Guess what I have? An X-Box 360 Elite!! Yes, yes, some of you recieved my text message over the weekend about it but I'm still excited about it today. I'm hoping to hook it up and start playing it sometime this week.

Let me see... besides that I don't think much else went on. I had a fabulous time visiting my grandparents in Mobile AL and now I'm ready to start the new week.

How was ya'lls?

The Hitch

Everyone know of Alfred Hitchcock right? Well, here's an interesting fact about the man. Did you know he didn't have a belly button?

Nope. True story! They sewed it up after surgery. Can you believe that? The poor man never experienced the joys of belly button lint!?

Not that I would know of any joys belly button lint would get you in the first place.

It's been a grand week. I hope you all have felt the same. I am trying to get those videos up but I haven't had the time. Thru a million request, I'm trying to read the final Harry Potter book myself so that "everybody" can talk to me about it.

I plan on finishing it sometime next week so after that I should have the time to complete the videos.

Ok folks that's all for now. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

Monday Morning Me

Today the MMM is all about Me. (as always)

As some of you already know, CJ, Caleb and I went on an excursion thru Books-a-Million in search of Harry Potter nerds last Friday night. (and boy did we hit the jackpot) Now the video footage we took of it WAS extremely hilarious but I'm not sure if I'll have time to beak it down into video posts for this week or not. Believe me I'll do everything I can to but as things look right now, I just don't have the time.

Now another video I've been dying to post is a deleted "behind the scenes" clip of Beauty and the Beast. I think it's hilarious but need to find out which tape it's on first. (I have 3 full ones with no titles on them. I'll try to search for that too.

Ok, hope everyones weekend was as eventful as mine. Some of the things that happened to me this weekend I don't think any of you would believe but overall I have to say, it was an adventure!

The FFF word

Fun Fact Friday is all about “word” knowledge this week folks!

Did you know “underground” is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters “und”?

And according to the Oxford dictionary the longest word is “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis”

The longest place name still in use a hill in New Zealand called “taumatawbakatangihangakoauaotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokiawhenuakita”

And the only word in the English language that uses just one vowel 6 times is the word “Indivisibility”

Also the words “Facetious” and abstemious” are the only 2 in the English language that use all the vowels in order.

Oh and wanna know what the 2nd longest word is? “antidisestablishmenterianism”
Ha! Not even close to being first right?

Sorry about going so long without a post folks. I plan on making it up to everyone with a Saturday post of the comic strip. I’ll try not to let it happen again!

C-ya!

Coming Soon...

The Special Edition DVD of our Beauty and the Beast play is one step closer to it’s completion! CJ and I just laid the commentary tracks for everything last night. I have to warn you, it’s a little crazy.

But I do have some information on DVD that isn’t very good. Cuts. They can’t put our “behind the scenes” footage on it or our “Christopher Award Skit” either. They even lost the “secret ending” footage we shot on our last day. So it won’t be as awesome of first conceived.

But I am thinking about posting some of the “behind the scenes” footage for everyone on the blog one week so you’ll get to see a portion of the humor we had in store.

Nothing else new to report but Footloose I guess. No word on what part I’ll play in it yet but rumor is I’m not getting a part at all. Just chorus. Ahh… and my 15 minutes are up like that!

Freezing FFF

So get this. In every place around the world there is an dialing code. Did you know that even Antarctica has one?! Yeah. It's 672

So if you ever want to call your friend in Antarctica there you go! Who lives there anyway? Sure I've heard of expeditions out there but has anyone set up a house and started living there?

Maybe some poor sap hear lives down in South America near the equator said "Honey, let's move some place where it's cooler!"

Do you think the penguins from Happy Feet still live there? I bet they do. Yep, singing penguins... who'd have known! It's way too cold for us to ever find out! Though I doubt they sing young teeny-bopper beats like they did in the movies.

Nah. I bet if penguins really could sing and dance it's be to disco music if anything else. Oh yeah... disco pen-guin-go fever is sweeping the continent!

But you'll have to dial 672 if you want to talk to them yourself.

Have a great weekend folks!

Let me explain

Here's a picture some of you saw of me in the paper yesterday. I was at the auditions for Footloose and the NewsStar was there taking pictures. I had no idea they were actually going to put this one in there though.

I had a few people ask me what was so funny off to the side but I think it was Rick and I just laughing with Tony who was standing off to the side. Man look at Kim... she's really bearing down on that paper ain't she?

Anyway, the audition went well. I was the best male actor there.... I was the only male actor there. (Rick just came to hang out) I'll know which role I got tomorrow, but yes. I'm in the play.

Hope everyone's weekend went as well as mine!

FFF once again!

Time for Fun Fact Friday once again! This time it has a little "stooge" with it! Everyone knows who the 3 Stooges are. (I hope) but did you know that out of the six of them (Moe, Larry, Curly, Shemp, Joe, and Curly Joe) That 3 of them were actual brothers!?!

Moe, Curly and Shemp. I don't know about you, but I never knew that!

This week has been awesome. Really. Work is at it's best right now my time is really doing well. I've played Mario Kart so much this week that I'm actually starting to have dreams of racing down Rainbow Road. People have been asking about when new pictures would be popping up and I must say it has been a while. I'll see what I can do.

Oh, but here's a cool thing. Look up "Matt Wilkins" on Google and guess who's site pops up first? Yep. That's right! Mine!! (yes, I "google" me)

Thanks for your patience on me answering your e-mails. It's just been a crazy week and I haven't had the time to respond to them all like I usually do. But I promise it'll get better!

Everyone have a great weekend, I love you all!!

Another week

Ok. I'm done with "As You Like It" so finally my week nights should be getting back to normal very soon.

I wasn't able to get a recording of my performance like I wanted. So no video posts of that play. Sorry. I tried.

Doesn't matter much anyway because I was hardly in it in the first place to make a difference.

Oh well. I have a new comic strip this week which should run for the next month or so. I think it's really funny and if you don't enjoy it as well.... then don't bother checking my blog again till September.

Thanks for all the e-mails these past few weeks. I promise I'll get around to answering each one ASAP now that my nights aren't tied up.

Now, with that all being said ONWARD WITH THE WEEK!
