On Saturday morning I drove to a mall 90 minutes away to attempt to qualify for the upcoming Boston “Wheel of Fortune” episode tapings. I was there all day but wasn't randomly called to go on stage. It strikes me now that when they had the “Event” puzzle on the board and I knew the answer *before they turned ANY letters* that I should have just called out “I'd like to solve the puzzle, please”, but this didn't strike me until I was up with Babykins at 3:00 the next morning. Oh well. There is still a chance that my application will be chosen for the final audition, which will be held in Boston sometime in August — with my luck, probably while I'm in California. Nevertheless, I solved a puzzle in line and won a TV-38 t-shirt, and signed myself and Monstro up for Spin I.D.s so I could get the talking Pat and Vanna minifigs, so I got some good swag. Also, I learned that WoF receives 1,000,000 applications from wannabe contestants every year!

Now I just need to figure out how to get the pictures off my phone.

Oh, and if you want to look skinny in a picture? Pose with a Winnebago. Works every time.
