▪ I clammed the entire Kidnapping category. I guess the Lindbergh baby was too easy? I thought that was near-impossible, especially compared to, say, Photography, which I nearly ran while knowing next to nothing about photography.
Another photography run (this time, a total one) which surprised the non-photographer runner here as well. (I don't really care for photography at all, I have a few throwaway cameras which I've barely touched lately, and all my picture taking is on my iPhone. My last big trip (to Kansas City for my audition) I took maybe a dozen pictures (at least ones that I saved) and I was deathly afraid that with that many pictures people would find it boring. Whereas my sister and her husband recently came back from a trip to Germany, England, and Scotland and had well over a hundred pictures that she posted on Facebook, all impeccable, which had me spellbound. (She got all the photography acumen in our generation of the family.)

Patience, young paduwan. (You too, young h-bomb paduwan). I am also in the pool and I have the exact same thoughts you guys have, but I also remind myself of some of the great players that auditioned again and again and again before they got their chance to go on (like one of my favourite players, Vijay Balse, which is apparently the archetypal example of this in talks by Maggie from what I hear). While I'd be ecstatic if I got the call this year, I don't get too bent out of shape about every day that passes that I don't get The Call, the Subarus and the buzzsaws got their moment too, and I know that one day it will be me there. I've been trying for Jeopardy! a little longer than you've been trying for Wheel, I can wait. They have my number.
