I enjoy my job.

It’s a warehouse job in an old building in Pioneer Square in Seattle, Washington.

For a writer who writes about the Supernatural, I’m in Inspirational Heaven five days a week.

However.

No way is it as cool as the warehouse job that the people at

Bensons For Beds

Tewksbury Warehouse

in the UK have.

They get to play mattress dominoes

The Lucky Dogs.

I’m all about those weird stories.

I write them, I read them, I buy the DVD’s.

So there’s this new show coming out and I think I was meant to be a big fan…and here’s the reason why.

Back before our computer systems were changed at work our stores were numbered in the system.

My store was #13

So my location was

Warehouse 13.

Check it out…

Warehouse 13 is going to be on the SCI-FI Channel

Give it a try…and don’t forget to tell them Anita sent you

Just What The Nurse Ordered

My friend

Nurse Myra

asked that on David Tennant Picture Day

I have an honorary guest.

The Nurse is such a giver, plus she’s really nice so-I’m going to this for her.

You may be wondering…

who worthy of bumping David Tennant from his own day?

Benicio del Toro

that’s Who ( ha! )

Meet Mr de Toro…

may he brighten you Friday!

Send A Writer To Wine Country

Don’t panic.

This is not a charity thing.

This is a job thing and my friend Max

really, really wants it;

If she makes it- and you can play a part here

she can become

A writer in residence at a winery and I’m not making this up.

So this is how it works.

Her application is a Mini-Movie and to be considered for the position she has to win votes.

This is how you can help.

First you watch her Mini Movie

Once you are there you vote for her Mini-Movie.

Now this is the tricky part.

Go to your e-mail and confirm you voted – if you don’t do that your vote won’t count.

Remember Florida?

Well, we don’t want issues like that to pop up here so after you vote scoot over to your e-mail box and confirm your vote.

Now.

You may be wondering why I’m campaigning for Max.

All joking aside, she has teaches writing Screenwriting Classes and from what I’ve learned she’s fair and tough and cares about the Craft and I respect her for that.

That is the truth.

and

by the way

Did I mention she’ll post a picture of herself in a bikini on her blog if she wins?

Hey.

It’s a talking point.

In fact it’s the only talking point.

And when you’re in campaign mode you have to stick to those suckers- it’s a rule.

Now

VOTE VOTE VOTE

FOR MAX!

!And tell your friends!

In The B.G. Time

Back in B.G. ( that is before GOOGLE )

way back in the olden days we may have been a little less informed but we had a lot more fun.

Like when 500 Miles by the Proclaimers came out a bunch of my friends asked me what

what “haverin’ ” meant and I said

I didn’t know

which was a lie

and they didn’t believe me so I said it’s the sound guys made when they, um, were happy… you know in bed…

and they thought it was true

and sometimes

they’d say it in that context.

God.

Sometimes I really hate the Internet.

Seriously

Guess What…No I Mean It … Guess

May 13, 2009 / Anita Marie / 4 Comments

I went on-line and had my fortune told.

Can you believe it?

You can actually have your tea-leaves read

on-line.

So I tried it because it doesn’t cost anything and I’m always suspicious of anyone who wants you to cross their palm with Silver or you credit card to do things like Readings.

Okay,

here it is

the results of my very own Tea-Leaf Reading:

Take no remedies if your heart is clear.

I guess that means if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.

Go ahead and call me Miss Buzz Kill, but I think that’s pretty lame.

Larry The Cable Guy says stuff like that all of the time.

Hang on a sec.

I’m going in for a second one:

Tell me your dreams, and I’ll tell you who you are.

I’ve got a better one.

How’s about I don’t tell you and I don’t get angry letters from my Mom reminding me that my little nieces read my work on line?

Wow.

This is fun.

Let’s do another one:

When times of adversity seem at their worst and defeat seems most assured – hidden from view beneath you, is often the greatest, roller coaster ride.

That sounds like an excuse you give to the Judge in traffic court for why you were weaving all over the highway:

” It wasn’t my fault your Honor, adversity hid the road from me and I was trying to find it as fast as I could”.

Do you know what?

That was fun.

And I had a great time.

In fact, I guess you could say I was inspired.
