Where's George Wishes for 2012

After finishing the prediction and goal stories, I didn't feel that I completely laid out all of my desires for what would happen "George-wise" for me in 2012. Thinking about what was missing, they weren't things that I could really say that I predict would happen and they weren't enough in my control to make them a goal. As such, I decided to make my vision a trilogy and spell out my Where's George desires/wishes for 2012.

Wish #1: A 5 Hit Bill
I currently have a three-way tie for bill with most hits (four). The likelihood of any of those bills getting an additional hit or a lower hit count bill getting to a fifth hit is unlikely. However, in the hits-per-day department, there's nothing cooler that I could wish for than this. Realistically, I'd be lucky if two more bills hit the four-hit plateau.

Wish #2: New Record Month for Hits
I got 124 hits in October beating the previous record of 116 (August). Over the course of the year, the record for most hits in a month fell 3 times (May, August, and October). October's 124 hits averages out to 4.0 hits a day: over a quarter hit per day better than any other month. I'd like to see that record go down, but I'm not holding my breath. In comparison, I only got 95 hits in December which was the first time since March that a 31 day month didn't surpass 100 hits (May, July, August, and October all surpassed 110 even).

Wish #3: Surpass 500 2006 L-L $1 Entries
I currently have entered 481 ones from the L-L FRB/block combo of the 2006 series. The rate at which I'm finding these is slowing down but gathering another 19 should not be a problem. To put the 500 number in perspective, I've only surpassed 100 entries of any series/denomination/FRB/block combo 34 times. Of those, 22 are at 200 or greater, 8 are at 300 or greater, and 3 are at 400 or greater. The BEP put out over 108 different FRB/block combos of ones in the 2006 series alone. So it's pretty rare for any one particular combo to have so many entries.

Wish #4: Surpass 400 Entries with one 2009 FRB/Block Combo and 300 with Another
This wish could also be known as getting another FRB/block combo in position to challenge the 2006 $1 LL combo. The best candidate so far is 2009 $1 LB at 235 entries. LF and LG are the next likely candidates currently sitting at 195 and 165 respectively.

Wish #5: Complete Non-Star Portions of Series 2003A and 2006 $1 Bingo
I need hits on ten more FRB/block combos to achieve 2003A $1 bingo: BC, BK, B*, CC, C*, E*, FB, FC, KH, and K*. I need twice that many for 2006 $1 bingo: CF, DE, DG, D*, FJ, FQ, FS, GC, GD, GF, G*, IC, J*, KF, K*, and L*. Of those, I've "only" not entered a 2003A B*, a 2003A KH, a 2006 D*, and a 2006 CG. Star bills tend to be more difficult to find, as such, I don't expect to make a lot of progress in that regard.

Wish #6: A 4+ Year Active Bill
My bill with the longest time from my entries to receiving a hit was out and about for 3 Years, 251 Days, 19 Hours, and 40 Minutes. Much like wish #1, I'm mostly going for an interesting improvement to the record. However, unlikely wish #1, I think it's very possible that I'll get a hit that satisfies this. The counter-argument being that I currently only have 3 bills that are 3+ years active.

I think that's going to do it for wishes. Now I just need to find two genie-inhabited lamps, and I'll be good to go.
