Quick TV break

October 6, 2010 by kathi

  • I’m still deciding whether or not I like the new Hawaii 5-0. I’ll keep watching to support anything filmed in my hometown while I decide, though. I’m interested to see how they keep it local enough for, well, the locals… and of course the expats… without having to overexplain for the rest of the audience, and without making it seem forced.
  • On Rottweiler Nation, I saw an announcement that a Rottweiler plays the role of the main character’s dog on the new NBC show Chase. Since it’s on at the same time as Hawaii 5-0, the dogs and I will have to check out an episode online or on On Demand.
  • I joke about being the entire crossover audience between Glee and Sons of Anarchy. Please tell me there are others of you out there!
  • Speaking of Glee, this week’s episode killed it, unlike last week’s Brittany/Britney trainwreck. One thing in common that several of my favorite shows share is the ability to go from over-the-top absurd to gut-wrenching emotion without missing a beat, and this episode did just that. I was cringing in advance at the idea of a Glee episode featuring religion. But as someone who has both lost and found my own faith a few times over many years, I could actually relate to most of the portrayals of the different characters’ expressions (or rejections) of religion, faith, and spirituality.
  • Speaking of Sons of Anarchy… well, that might involve a rant. Not about the show which is still one of my favorites and in my opinion has some of the best writing out there, but about some of its fans. So I think I’ll save that for another day.

A good dog lives forever

October 5, 2010 by kathi

Today is the 16th anniversary of the birth of one of the best dogs that ever lived (and if you can’t say that about every one of the dogs you’ve owned, I am so sorry). We had the honor of sharing life with Oscar for almost a dozen years.

Oscar was around long enough to teach Freya how to be a good Rottweiler before he headed over the bridge in March 2006. And as all good dogs will, he lives forever in our hearts.

Total Rottweiler Magazine Issue 3 | 2010 on the way!

October 4, 2010 by kathi

The last few pages were approved at a quarter to eight this morning, and The Total Rottweiler Magazine is now at the printer!

As many of you know, I am involved with the magazine as a volunteer proofreader and copyeditor. I’m also “in charge” of the quarter-page stud dog, brood bitch, upcoming youth, and promising puppies ads, as well as the candid shots pages.

It really is a great magazine, with coverage of Rottweiler shows and sports from all over the world. To give you an idea of the wide variety of events and subjects covered, check out this issue’s contents. So I hope you don’t mind the occasional post here devoted to promoting the heck out of it!

If you love Rottweilers like I do, please check out the website, follow TTRM on Twitter, “like” TTRM on Facebook, and I hope you will subscribe!

I am a member of The Total Rottweiler Magazine’s editorial board; it is an unpaid position. In exchange for my work on the magazine, I do receive advertising space and a complimentary subscription.

First test shots!

October 3, 2010 by kathi

Who let her bring that thing in here while I am trying to nap?

For some reason, I never wrote about it here, but back in the spring of 2009 I started asking around for advice and comments to help me pick a good digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR). I would be a first-time buyer for this type of camera. I’ve owned film and digital point-and-shoot cameras as well as entry-level film SLRs, but I would still consider myself very much an inexperienced photographer.

It took me a while, and my decision was based mostly on value and price rather than this year’s coolest technology. The camera I chose was Canon’s Rebel EOS XS.
