It’s Sunday so you know what that means… 

God Chat!

So here we go:

 image21.jpg

Dear God,

I’ve learned something this week: Racists should really remember to use Spell-Check when they send out hate e-mails because the message is lost when something you’re reading looks like it was authored by an 11 year old in need of Ritalin.

Thanks for giving Prince (who happens to be my Favorite Sister’s – okay, she’s my ONLY Sister) the idea to play three shows over 12 hours for his fans in Minneapolis. My sister wasn’t there, but this story about her favorite musician will her feel good  – so cool move God. Oh, I liked it because Prince only stopped the show when the Police (the law guys, not the er- you know ‘ band’ ) told him to.

I love a Rebel.

And I would like to thank you Mighty One

for moving someone to create this.

It has Pirates it has Johnny Depp

It’s a Wild Thing

But I think I love it.

ps I had one of those Crunchy Egg Rolls on Wednesday- you know the one I pray for every Sunday? Well, it was pretty close and I really enjoyed it.

Okay, see you next Sunday.

I mean, Amen.

I.B. Field Trip

I’m bored-

So we’re going on a Field Trip.

You lucky little Devils.

First Stop

Alien Graveyard 

Want to help scientists organize galaxies?

This is for real, read the article and then check out the link at the bottom of the story.

Okay, I’m not taking you to other worlds but this is close.

Want to help scientists organize galaxies?

By Associated Press

LONDON (AP) – Scientists need help sorting through an unusual digital photo album: pictures of about 1 million galaxies.

They are asking volunteers on the Internet to help classify the galaxies as either elliptical or spiral and note, where possible, in which direction they rotate. It would be the largest galactic census ever compiled, something scientists say would provide new insight into the structure of the universe.

“We’re in the golden era of astronomy,” said Bob Nichol, an astronomer at the University of Portsmouth in southern England. “We have more data than we can assimilate, and we need help.”

Astronomers say computer programs have been unable to reliably classify the star systems.

Without volunteers, researchers would need years to wade through the photographs, which were taken automatically by a massive digital camera mounted onto a telescope at the Apache Point Observatory near Sunspot, N.M., Nichol said. With 10,000 to 20,000 people working to classify the galaxies, the process could take as little as a month.

Volunteers would sign on to the Web site, complete a brief tutorial and pick through one galaxy after another. The galaxies would be identified by several people to guard against errors and pranks, and scientists would rule on any disputes.

The catalog would help researchers understand how galaxies form and interact.

“At some level, what we learn about these galaxies could tell us something quite fundamental about cosmology and particle physics,” Nichol said.

The project was inspired by similar projects at NASA, such as Stardust(at)home, which enlisted the help of thousands of volunteers to sift through grains of space dust gathered during a 2006 mission.

Is It That Time Of The Month Again?

/ Anita Marie / 3 Comments

Yes indeed, it’s Sunday.

Time to have my weekly chat with God.

I know, I know

If  I were really serious about this I’d do it every day

 but if my Mom found out I call God more then her?

She’d bust me open like a crispy Lumpia.

So anyway here we go:

Dear God,

I want to thank you for a pretty good week.

Nobody that I know died- besides I knew you wouldn’t approve so I kept my hands to myself.

Thank you for creating the Universe so that I can now spend Thursdays watching ” Burn Notice “.

I think it’s wonderful that the role of floozy/spy is a man who is almost 50 years old and never shaves and wears Aloha Shirts. I like it that he credits his income and home on the beach to ” those little blue pills’.

You truly inspired someone there God and it was darn fine work.

Thank you for the heat wave that has hit the Pacific Northwest.

I was about to go out and spray something that would kill my lawn just so I wouldn’t have to mow it and woo hoo in three days you killed it dead.

God, the timing on that one, I mean I was touched.

It really felt like you were watching over me there.

I owe you for that one.

 I’d also like to thank you for this:

poysin-mouses.jpg

I walk around saying ” The Orange Ones Are Poison ” and I love -DO YOU HEAR ME- love the look people get on their faces when I say it…which is often.

By often I mean every chance I get.

And above all else thank you for aiding me on the Crispy Egg Roll Search. I’m getting closer to finding it God and I know that after these many blessings this one shall too come to pass.

Bye-

I mean

Amen

and see you next Sunday.

News That Matters- to me anyway

(okay, its a picture of The Old Spice Guy…not me deal with it)

BEIJING (AP) – Villagers in central China spent decades digging up bones they believed belonged to flying dragons and using them in traditional medicines. Turns out the bones belonged to dinosaurs, and now scientists are doing the digging

You know, I can’t really find fault with this- it looks weird but so what? Myself, I would hope that in these modern times you wouldn’t have to resort to rock eating to cure what ails you.

In my mind that is wrong.

I just checked out the Summer Movie Guide. Guess what I won’t be doing this summer?

And I was really counting on scoring some of that yummy theatre popcorn. All I can hope for is that the Indie Film People come up with something worthwhile otherwise I’m going to have to cough up 10.00 just to satisfy a craving for greasy popcorn.

I’ll do it- that’s how desperate I am.

There’s this woman who leads a group opposed to Mexicans living any where on the face of the planet and over the weekend I found out that she put a picture of a Latina activist  friend of my family on her website, as well as the name and address of our friend’s employer.

That wasn’t news but it should be, I mean, how often is it that you get to see a real life hit list?

And on a way lighter note today the Roswell UFO Festival started.

Ever since I got mail and comments from friends who chewed me out for  ‘encouraging’ the UFO fantasy I’ve come out in a big way to support this festival.

First of all, I hate it when people try to reach into my head and re-wire it to suit their own needs. Second, the stories that these people are telling are just to good to let go of.

I hope they’re having fun down there today.

They’ve earned it.

A Little Help Here…

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

2005693959854649943_rs.jpg 

It’s Sunday, so I’m going to do a little prayer here…and if you stand clear as I say it the chances of you being hit by a bolt of lightening are pretty slim so here it goes….

Dear God- Please help me not laugh hysterically this week at the ignorance of others- like those Nazis my husband faced down over the weekend up in Everett.

See, they were yelling what I call ‘ Taco Bell ‘ brand Spanish at him – no one – not even the people who could speak Spanish could figure out what they were saying.

Someone else  thought they may have Googled Redneck English To Spanish Phrases but considering how many people DON’T speak English as a first language in this world someone at GOOGLE may have messed with that option….

I’ll be honest here  Lord, because I know you can read my mind anyway, I would have.

Anyway God, you’d think that people would be smart enough to know that you can’t really learn anything from a talking dog- but some of us Dear Lord are not that smart.

I’m Praying for Them and for myself God.

And if you can swing it God please help me not roll my eyes up into my head and say something smarmy every single time someone says ” Paris Hilton. “

First of all I’m doing this so often now that I’m afraid my eyes will get stuck up there and second of all I know for a fact it really isn’t nice to make fun of the mentally challenged.

I’ve never done it before and it’s a little late at my age to turn into a schoolyard bully- so give me some help here, I could use it.

Last of all Oh Great One, please see that I get to score one of those Super Crunchy Egg Rolls this week- the ones cooked to perfection and just stuffed with baby shrimp-  it’s out there God and with your help I know I can find it and munch it and quiet that vicious Egg Roll Demon that lurks inside of me.

I’m done.

Oh…umm  wait this is the part where I’m supposed to say Amen right?

 Okay.

Amen.

How’s The View Down There?

ALIEN IDEAS FROM AN ALIEN MIND

How come in Politics we just love to say that we’re standing shoulder to shoulder or side by side and if you think about it if you’re in Politics you spend most of your time on your knees.

It’s all very basic.

Somebody somewhere is always trying to stick it to somebody else and if they’re not actually sticking it, they’re thinking about doing it and if they don’t have the time they’ll send someone else in to do it for them.

If it sounds nasty it is- when you’re playing games somebody has to win  and someone has to lose and that’s what Politics is about.

Winning

We’re not talking about being right or just or fair. It’s not about ” giving voice” or ‘representing a village’.

It’s all about winning

 The thing of it is that once you get a win you have to keep winning no matter who you have to screw or betray or belittle.

That’s how the game is played- that is the rule…win.

Win all of the time.

Kitty left a comment on an earlier post and she said I seemed fearless.

I guess after you’ve worked with the dead and you’ve watched one human being totally wreck another human being just so they could prove they could- after all of that – there isn’t anything to be afraid of anymore.

I wonder if it’s true, if you have nothing to lose you’re dangerous.

I’m not sure, but I think I’m starting to understand that saying.

So I guess that means I win.

This time.

#3

And then there was this one.. Exploding Birds– guys explain that one to me… Exploding Birds.

A Universe In Five Minutes

/ Anita Marie / 6 Comments

Do you realize you can live a life time in Five Minutes?

Random thoughts are like that.

Here are a few of mine:

996441-211.jpg

 

Once I went to a Funeral where there was a lot of snickering going on around me

and to this day I still don’t know what was so funny.

But I’ve spent time wondering about it.

 

996441-211.jpg

Wouldn’t it be cool if Frankenstein was real?

I’ll bet he’d be a Plastic Surgeon.

I wonder what would happen if

 he had a nervous breakdown one day at work?

 

 

996441-211.jpg

 

I’m going to start a movement

I’m going to start a Movie Boycott

I’m going to tell people not

to go to the movies.

I’m going to tell them

to buy DVD’s instead.

USED

ones.

You should all be supporting Independant Films Anyway.

 

996441-211.jpg

If I could choose the next

President Of The United States

I’d choose

Pinhead

from

the

Hellraiser Movies

Too Bad he’s not real.

I’d do it….I really would.

In Five Minutes I Built A Universe.

Awesome.
