Oscar Night

I have been watching the warm-up to the red carpet all afternoon. And, after watching others predict the winners, I feel compelled to do the same.

Best Picture
Slumdog Millionaire
Not a movie I have seen, but most believe it will win. Plus, it has the word dog in it. How can it lose?

Best Actor
Mickey Rourke
Again, not a movie I have seen, but he is the underdog. Get it, underdog? Oh, and my heart goes out to him as he lost his beloved Chihuahua died earlier this week.

Best Actress
Angelina Jolie
I am not choosing her just because I think it would be fun to play with all of her kids, but I saw the movie yesterday and I thought she gave a moving performance. She definitely has my vote.

Best Song
I am boycotting this category because the Academy made a serious omission. They did not recognize Bruce Springsteen's "The Wrestler."

Cutest Dog
Me
I realize this is not a category, but it should be. Just look at me!

Happy Valentine's Day

Let's Go Racing!

The words Mommy has been waiting to hear since November.

Yes, the NASCAR season officially got underway last night with the Budweiser Shootout! Mommy was so excited. And, I must admit, so was I. I like watching all of the cars go around. I especially like when they crash.

I was exhausted by the end of the race. And, I must say, I am still a little tired this morning.



I am still a little bummed by the game last week. The Cardinal's didn't win. Although, they had a great shot there at the end. Oh well, life will go on.

Hopefully, Dale Jr. will have a better season this year. It will make up for the Cardinal's loss.

Halftime

I was hopeful at the start of the game. But...



The game is not going so well for my Cardinals. But, they can come back, and I have faith.



I just finished watching the halftime show. I was excited. Bruce Springsteen is a favorite of Daddy's. So, I was dancing in the dark (not really, but it is a popular Springsteen song).



Go Cardinals!

P.S. The commercials have not been good this year. It seems like every commercial is for the same car. There have been a few beer commercials that have made me chuckle. Oh, and there was one about pets (Pedigree). It was OK...

Super Bowl Sunday

It has arrived. I really like football, but I am not so sure I love the 12 hours of pre-game. I am also very excited to see all of the commercials. Hopefully one will have a dog in it. Anyways, I am going to take the underdog, the Arizona Cardinals, in an upset. Get it, underdog?

Anyways, Mommy is now home from her trip. In fact, Daddy took me with him to the airport to pick-up Mommy. Her flight landed early, but apparently, her luggage kept circling the tarmac. I kept asking Daddy why we were driving in circles and he said it was because the airline couldn't locate the bags. Finally, they did. And, much to my surprise, Mommy had some friends with her. Axel and Tim needed a ride home. I was excited because I got to meet new people. And, they were really nice.

Plus, I got to talk with Tim about the weekend in Chicago. I thought he could tell me all about their exciting adventures. And, he did.

He said that he, Mommy and J-Jo (Jill) had some time on Saturday afternoon, after they completed their work, to see a little of Chicago. Mommy loves Chicago. J-Jo had never been there before so he said they decided to take her shopping down Michigan Avenue (Miracle Mile). J-Jo had a blast - and so did Mommy and Tim.









Tim said it was really cold, but he didn't mind. He said everyone got great deals. And, he talked about going to one of Mommy's favorite places in Chicago...Garret's popcorn. He said they waited in line for 25 minutes, but he said it was well worth the wait. He said the Cheese Popcorn is the best!

When they got back to the hotel, they headed to the restaurant for dinner and Tim said that he got to meet George Barris as well. Remember, he is that famous car guy. Since Mommy had the camera, she was able to have a picture taken of all of them. Pretty cool, huh?





Tim said the rest of the time they had to work. And, by the end of the week, they were ready to come home.

Honestly, I love hanging out with Daddy, but I like it best when Mommy and Daddy are both here with me.
