Humans Need to Learn to Have Fun!

Angel Zoom Smokey and myself both received plush squeaky sheep for Valentine's Day, and we both enjoyed our special toys. Each of us got a fortune cookie, and as usual, I will share our fortunes with my readers. My fortune says that I will be very lucky. I was pleased with that fortune, and Angel's fortune said she would start a new project, which has already happened. Yes, she has already started annoying me with yet another of her "projects". The latest project is trying to take my new toy.

Mommy went to see the movie, The King's Speech yesterday, and here is the movie review. It was an excellent movie. I personally don't think I would want to be a member of the royal family because it sounds like it is just too much trouble. I'm sure the dogs in the royal family don't mind because the people aren't constantly bugging them, but the humans that are royalty are always being judged by their subjects, and that can get very tiring. I bet they can't even nap whenever they feel like it either. What is the point of being royalty if it isn't fun?

The Westminster Dog Show is continuing today, and although I enjoy the show, it is similar to being royalty. It is way too much trouble for a dog to have to be good during the show. I think the show would be improved if they added a mud fight or something of similar interest to dogs.

I have to go now. When I start writing about naps, I begin to realize that it would be better to take one than talk about a nap.

Best Picture Next Year: Bird Apocalypse Now!

The Oscar nominees have been announced, and the movies that are up for best picture for 2010 are:
1. The Fighter (Excellent Movie)
2. Inception (Excellent Movie)
3. The Social Network, (Excellent Movie)
4. Toy Story 3 (Excellent Movie)
5. True Grit (Excellent Movie)
6. 127 Hours (Not seen, and didn't want to see)
7. Black Swan (Not seen, didn't look interesting)
8. The King's Speech (Didn't see, but looks like it might be good)
9. Winter's Bone (Didn't see, and didn't want to see)
10 The Kid are Alright (Saw it--Not a Particularly Good Movie)

I know everyone has their own opinions, but these are mine. Actually, I don't really have a lot of respect for the Oscars because, in the past, some of the movies that win, I have considered to be mediocre. The fact that Marmaduke and Yogi Bear are not in the running for best picture for 2010 is ridiculous. I liked both of those movies more than Toy Story 3, and I liked Toy Story 3.

In entertainment news, Conan O'Brien's production company has done a pilot for a new television show called, Vince Uncensored. CBS has picked it up so I'm guessing it will be airing before too long.

The best news I read today is that the USDA has poisoned hundreds of birds (starlings) in South Dakota. I am hoping that this is finally an official declaration of war on birds. Maybe the humans are finally listening to a dog!
