Such a social dog!

My dog Janet has a somewhat twisted priority. She does prioritize food above all as expected but she prioritizes meeting other dogs or people before pooping or peeing. She is such an attention whore that she is always in a look out when we walk for potential people or dogs to meet and pay her attention. So even if she is in the verge of pacing around and squatting in preparation to poop or pee, she will stop it when there is another dog or person approaching. Her behind would be swollen and I could almost see the poop coming out and still she would pull it back in when the prospect of meeting another dog or person is there. You would think her biological function would come first before the social need but no not her!

This above all annoys me.

Religious Sarcasm

> I am not anti-religion, I am anti-hypocrisy.

> If you are so hell bent in protecting the sanctity of a religious marriage, then stop fornicating and getting divorces.

> For those religious hypocrite, I just have one thing to ask you. Is that what God, Jesus, Allah or Buddha would do?

> For those who are oppose to gay marriage, why are you forcing your definition of a religious marriage to the Law/state?

All heart does not make a good acrobatic show.

I recently brought my mom to see Traces at the Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place. She is a little hard of hearing and she finds American English accent hard to understands, so I thought an acrobatic act with very little or no speaking and singing would be perfect.

The show Traces' slogan is "No wires, no net, all heart". Considering that there were no wires and no net, the acrobatic acts were not that spectacular. Sure there were acts that required a lot of training but it was more like a side street performance than an acrobatic/circus act. Perhaps I expected more but to give them credit, I did find the act involving a big metallic ring quite entertaining along with the act with them jumping from one pole to another like monkeys. Some acts with chair balancing, ring jumping, juggling and tumbling were indeed somewhat entertaining but definitely not original. Seen it. The other acts with dancing, singing, comedic lines and skateboard were lame. One can not almost tell if they made a mistake cause there was no recognizable synchronized choreography. The set was chaotic and akin to an abandoned industrial warehouse. No costume of any kind that would be interesting to speak of. On the plus side, they were all young and very pleasing to look at.

I say 2.5 stars out of 5.
