The Perfect Dog

A story I have been working on lately includes a main character that has a cat. I wish I knew more about cats, but I'm definitely a dog person. And even though I'm in complete control of my characters, there is no way that this character would ever give up her fluffy kitty for a drooling puppy.

For me, the perfect pet would be a dog. I really admire those that have the space and the patience for retired racing dogs. I met quite a few when I volunteered at an animal rescue shelter in 2003. But with all of their energy, the need for dog medicine and lots of attention, there's no way I could care for one right now. All I have room for is a chihuahua at the moment. And my dog allergies certainly don't help the campaign to get a puppy!

I'm almost tempted to leave this story alone for awhile so that I can learn a little more about cats. I'm a bit resistant, but there's no getting around this. I already have to research Las Vegas and some other interest topics for this story, so why not add cats on top of it? I guess I'll be pretty busy researching this weekend.

History's Mysteries

Magic has always fascinated me. I think that some of the old hat tricks do not compare to some of the new tricks that illusionists have, such as Criss Angel. There are some of the older tricks that you obviously guess how they do it. But the more modern magician’s are tough to figure out! And many people say that knowing how the trick works ruins it, but I don’t think so.

I’m kind of interested in seeing a show that Criss Angel puts on. Right now he’s appearing at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. I would totally take a weekend off to go and see that if I had just a little more money. But sadly, this is a working weekend anyway. And I have heard that there’s also a Cirque Du Soleil performance that’s called CRISS ANGEL Believe. I would like to catch that show too. It sounds pretty good.

But maybe I can win tickets to the last one. There are a Text Message contest going on right now to win two tickets to Criss Angel Believe. All you have to do it text the word Believe to 22122 and you could have a chance to win. Couldn’t hurt, right?
