Our Sweet Dog

Contribution by Stevie Kirby

I thought that getting a dog would make me feel safer at home, but our dog is as sweet as can be. He rarely barks or growls, and is friendly to whoever walks through the door. He doesn’t get protective of the family at all. That’s a good thing for when we want to have guests come into the house, but it doesn’t do us any good in terms of security. I feel lucky that he is obedient and listens to me, but I know we need to do more to protect our home from thieves and other dangers. One of our family friends came over and when she met our dog and saw how friendly he was, she suggested we go to totalalarmsystems.com and get set up with a home alarm. She has always had one and says it makes her feel much safer when she is alone at home. Since getting a dog didn’t work out, I thought it was a god idea. When I thought about it, the alarm is probably much more effective than even the meanest guard dog. A guard dog can’t alert the police, so it’s probably worth it to try it out.

Luck on HBO

Still undecided on if "Luck" is another sure thing on HBO, but I was pretty satisfied with the pilot.

The show is based around the life at the race track. Looks at all angles from the gambling to the guys running it. The pilot episode focused mostly on a group of lowlife gamblers trying to win the giant "Pick 6" jackpot. Pooling their money together they placed their bet based on some apparent betting whiz. This was the biggest action of the pilot, but it introduced a lot of characters as well.

Most of what I've read is that people didn't understand a lot of what was going on. For some reason people fixated too much on how the bet worked, but really it was of little consequence. All you needed to know was that it was a longshot and they were trying to win.

A few guys you will recognize like Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte are in the cast so you know they are likely spending a pretty penny on producing this one. They are all in it seems as they have already renewed it for the 2013 season so getting into the show you know you have at least 2 full season to look forward to and won't be stuck playing with your model planes wondering how it was supposed to end. This is a good thing to know.

Kristen Bell=Sloth Lady

I'm gonna go a head and guess this is all just acting, but it should remind everyone of the infamous free dating Video Biography with the girl that loves cats so much that she cried every two seconds when she thought of them.

Kristen Bell should now be known as SLOTH girl I guess after this recent interview on the Ellen show.
