Price is Right

"Carly Wood come on down, you're the next contestant on the PRICE IS RIGHT!" The crowd went wild, high fives all over the place, a lot of jumping and running, it was absolute madness! Hmmm... at least it would have gone that way had it worked out the way I hoped:) My two cousins Jared and Blake and I had the whole price is right experience today and it was quite a ride. Blake had made some rockin "ASU loves Drew Carry" shirts and we drove over to Cali Monday morning. So we woke up at 5:30 this morning to go stand in line at CBS studios. We already had tickets but apparently they don't guarantee a spot, we found that out the hard way. We got there and there were hundreds of people already lined up, some camped out all night! They only had room for 300 in the studio and all of the very loud groups you see had an automatic place at the show. We sat around for hours holding onto the hope that we'll get in. When we just about gave up, a group of ASU students showed up, thank goodness! They happen to have 3 spots in their group so we just pretended we were their best friends. Needless to say, I think there were some bitter people around us that we snuck our way in, but hey, arizonans have to stick together! The people in charge wrote my name on the official Price is Right name tag and it was sweet. They took us in groups of about 15 and talked with us and from there they decided who gets on. Blake, Jared, and I were all ashamed at our performance, we just didn't shine! After 7 hours of waiting, the show started and it is way different then what people see on TV, they would redo scenes and in between each game is a waiting period but it's was fun because Drew Carry would talk to us. He's a pretty funny guy. The show airs on November 10th and I'm pretty sure I got a solid 2 seconds total of TV time. Don't think I won't DVR it and watch it, I'll take what I can get!

Just waiting for the show to start in our sweet shirts!

My official name tag, why am I still so excited about it?

Ok ok, I'm almost done, I know I'm going blogging crazy!
The day before we went to the beach and then I got to experience Hollywood for the first time! We toured the wax museum, the genis book of world records museum, and the ripley's museum. The museums were ok but going through them with Blake and Jared was a blast. We laughed so hard I cried, what a memorable night! Here are some pictures!

It would be a trip to Hollywood if there wasn't a star picture. Personally I think Tim Mcgraw and I look very good together:)


Morgan Freeman was the most realistic sculpture at the wax museum. Dang how do they do that?


This guys was crazy. He would move and look like he was a wax statue, when someone would want a picture with him he would scare them half to death. We found ourselves just staring at him and waiting for him to jump at people!

Two posts in one day?!?! I'm exhausted!!!!

My friend and I were recently talking about how we as a society are so hooked onto electronics. Reading this post makes me think back to that debate we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Ethical concerns aside... I just hope that as memory becomes less expensive, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about every once in a while.
