When I arose I put the last of my convention stuff away, did some work on the computer, and set about organizing the photos and videos from the weekend. I headed to my box to get a package, and then I spent some alone, quiet time at Paty\u2019s enjoying a salad. I came back home to do some more work around the house, and I grabbed a short nap. I got up later and did a ton of auditions, took my nightly WOG (walk\/jog), and spent some time reflecting and meditating outside in my anti-gravity chair. It was absolutely gorgeous out in the middle of the night. It was overcast, warm, and quiet. I came back inside to write Wally\u2019s Week, then I made a salad and watched the episode of \u201cCollector\u2019s Call\u201d on my DVR.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Tuesday the 4th \u2013 HULK\/FRANKENSTEIN?! \u2013<\/span> It was another relaxing, productive day around Planet Wallywood. Later in the day my pal Amanda let me know she was in town and we met for dinner at Bob\u2019s Big Boy, as we usually do when she\u2019s in the area. Later I recorded my daily auditions, took my nightly WOG, spent some time in the anti-grav chair, and came back inside to make a salad and watch the first two episodes of the fourth season of \u201cThe Incredible Hulk.\u201d It was called \u201cPrometheus,\u201d and there were a TON of Frankenstein references and influences in that episode. It was fun flagging them all!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wednesday the 5th \u2013 STILL RELAXIN\u2019! \u2013<\/span> Today was just one of those days where I wanted to sleep the day away. I did a little work around the house later, scanned some checks for a deposit, recorded more auditions, took my nightly WOG, and spent some quality time outside enjoying the quiet night in my anti-grav chair. I felt very enriched and blessed.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday the 6th \u2013 BACK TO PHOTO ALBUMS! \u2013<\/span> After a quick stop at the bank to drop off some deposits, I stopped at the grocery store to pick up much-needed supplies. I hit CVS to pick up some medicinal things, and then drove over to Paty\u2019s to enjoy a salad on the patio. It was a gorgeous day. We\u2019re in the middle of May Gray\/June Gloom here in L.A., but right around mid-afternoon everything clears up nicely. It\u2019s great to see the sun again. Later in the evening I relaxed, recorded my nightly auditions, took a brisk WOG, spent some time in the anti-grav chair, and spent the rest of the evening recalibrating and revisiting my L.A. photo album project. There are a lot of different ways I could go with it, and I just have to put some brainpower to it to ascertain which is the best way to go; narratively speaking.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday the 7th \u2013 GOOD FUN, GOOD FOOD, GOOD FRIENDS: THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS IN LIFE! \u2013<\/span> My maids came over early in the afternoon to clean up Planet Wallywood, and after they left I called my old pal Chris Malmin to see if he wanted to meet me for a late lunch at Paty\u2019s. At 3 I pulled up in front of the restaurant and saw my pals from the Alex In Wonderland studios just arriving \u2013 coincidentally. But since I don\u2019t really believe in coincidences, I took the opportunity to invite Mike &amp; Alex and their daughter to sit with Chris and I. It was a gorgeous, sunny day out, so we got a big table on the sunny side of the patio. As I walked in I saw my Voice Actor buddy Robin Atkin-Downes. I hadn\u2019t seen him in a long time! My buddy Tony O. was just leaving the restaurant, so I got a chance to see him again. And one of the ladies from the old evening service at my church was just leaving the restaurant. It was great to see Barbara Ann again and catch up. We haven\u2019t had the rock-n-roll evening service at my church since before the plandemic, so it was good to see her. My pal Bat Pat Evans called to see when I would be around so he could give me a few things. I told him to drop by Paty\u2019s as we were apparently having an impromptu party! He brought me a very nice Riddler bobblehead that he had picked up at the George Barris sale that was held at his garage shortly after his passing a few years ago. I had never seen a bobblehead like that. It was terrific! We all chatted for about 3 hours and had a terrific time. I love hanging out with fun, creative people. It was the end to a very restful week. Later I did my nightly WOG, and spent my usual time of reflection and gratitude in my anti-grav chair. I came back inside and spent the rest of the night editing photos for my photo album project. I randomly opened a drawer in one of my file cabinets and spotted a few folders marked WALLY and PHOTOS. I opened them up and I couldn\u2019t believe what I found! I found some amazing photos that I had filed away and forgotten about. A lot of the photos were prints and contact sheets from various headshot sessions I had done over the years. Headshots from 1994, 1997, and some from more recent times were all there. If I didn\u2019t have the corresponding negatives, I scanned the contact sheets and isolated each frame to have printed later. I\u2019ve got a LOT of work to do! I found some other celebrity photos and other gems. It was like finding hidden treasure!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday the 8th \u2013 PHOTO ALBUM PHUN! \u2013<\/span> My buddy Officer Mark dropped by in the evening so we could hit Little Toni\u2019s for dinner and he could tell me about his day at the Hollywood Show. He got a photo with Lee Majors, and had met several other celebrities at this show. After dinner we walked across the street to Randy\u2019s Donuts and picked up a few donuts for dessert. When we came back to Planet Wallywood Mark tried to help determine if I have the Disney + app on my TV. I\u2019d like to get Disney + for just a month so I can watch the Jim Henson documentary. But no dice. I\u2019ll call Brandon my A\/V guy and see if he can come by soon and get me hooked up. I\u2019m dying to see that film! Later I took my WOG and enjoyed the subsequent time in the anti-grav chair. When I came back inside I got busy working on the photo albums again. I thought I had completely finished the first one, but now that I unearthed all of those photos I had forgotten I had, I had some more work to do. I even found some old South Dakota photos that I had forgotten about, so I had to get a few of my South Dakota photo albums out and add pages to that. I obsess over details and completion. I got an email from my internet company which informed me that my internet may be interrupted Sunday night from midnight to 6am Monday morning due to some maintenance. I figured I\u2019d better record the auditions that were due on Monday morning right away, and not let them slide until Sunday night. If I didn\u2019t have internet service I wouldn\u2019t have a way of delivering the audition files to my agent. So I spent a little time recording and editing those. I made a salad and watched another few episodes of \u201cHoney West.\u201d I really don\u2019t care much for this show, but I\u2019m almost done with the set so I may as well stick with it. It just seems like this show was a misfire on so many different levels.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sunday the 9th \u2013 BLINDS BROKE! \u2013<\/span> For the most part today was a crash day, and when I got up to raise the blinds in the Tranquility Zone, the cord snapped apart. These particular blinds have a continuous cord that goes through a little gear thingie in the side of the top bar that raises and lowers the blinds. They\u2019re pretty old but still in pretty good shape. Had the cable not come completely out of the gear compartment I probably could have stitched it together and fixed it. But now I had to take the blinds down, take them to a local company, and see if they can fix it. I sat down and scanned some of the old contact sheets and edited the images into separate files for printing later. This is a fun project, but very time consuming (that is, if it\u2019s going to be done right!).<\/p>\n<p>And how was YOUR week?!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">PIX FROM THE WEEK<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16200\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16200\" class=\"size-fusion-600 wp-image-16200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-66x88.jpeg 66w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-177x236.jpeg 177w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-200x267.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-300x400.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-320x427.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-375x500.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-400x533.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-460x613.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-500x667.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-540x720.jpeg 540w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-669x892.jpeg 669w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-700x933.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-940x1253.jpeg 940w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/www.wallyontheweb.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Folks-65th-anniversary-3.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-16200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My folks recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary!
