Who’s Done It Best

/ Anita Marie / 3 Comments

In the two Part Doctor Who episode ” The Forest of The Dead”  and ” Silence In The Library” evil  creatures are hiding in a city that houses a computer-

a big computer, a huge computer, a living computer.

And those evil creatures that feed off of organic material ( well, human flesh ) are living in….

books.

Lots and lots of books.

Books that are made out of wood pulp.

Paper.

This made me think:

When we give kudos to the new ” Sci Fi ” stories, those kudos get tossed around like confetti because woman can now shoot big guns and sometimes even get to be Captains on actual spaceships and have ripley muscles just like their male counter parts.

But come on how is that cutting edge exactly?

Some writers just figured out that you can substitute male characters for female characters because really, they can do the same exact job.

Sort of like real life.

Anyway.

In this Doctor Who episode we did see something cutting edge, we saw something unique we saw a story that takes place in the future ( well, that’s a guess where Doctor Who is concerned-but stick with me here ) and in that future were books.

Books with pages that you can turn, pages that crackle and pop when they’re new and whisper when they get old.

How cutting edge is that?

Very.

After all.

A Science Fiction story about Time Travel had at it’s core…books…

books in a Library.

In these times when we walk around with a phone that is sort of like having a second brain that you can hold in your hand ( also a addressed in Doctor Who episode: Planet Of The Ood )

I found ” The Planet Of The Ood “episode to be more of a shot across the bow of the hi-tech ship everyone I know seems to be sailing on then then to be story a story about slavery or disease.

So I will freely admitt I thought is was a riot when my Cell Phone enslaved friends watched this and didn’t seem to see the comparison between themselves and the Ood and the guy who gets ” turned “.

I think that seeing a story about books

made me realize

how much I would miss them if they were gone.

So that must mean on some level

I must feel like they’re being taken away…made irrelevant.

When did that happen?

The funny thing is, The Doctor would know.

Doctor Who.

It has more then a real hot guy playing the lead role.

It happens to have some excellent stories too.

Enjoy…

and THINK next time you watch it.

Thanks To A Bunch of Inconsiderate Jerks Christmas Is Ruined!

Global Warming is NOT funny.

So don’t laugh when I say

somebody is totally F*&^%$#@ up Santa’s back yard.

full story HERE

Do something so that you do NOT add to this very real problem. ( crazy Republicans who are looking to submit a comment to tell me off be warned, I moderate this blog- just doing my part to cut down on the death threats and potty language that seems to hang over us all like noxious clouds …or don’t you guys believe in things like the ‘theory’ behind clouds  too? )

So the rest of you-  educate yourself about this problem- otherwise I see a very Grim Christmas and possibly a tropical situation happening up there in the North Pole and new forms of life popping up all over the place ( well, if you count mutant animals and people with extra body parts as being a ‘new’  thing).

Hey.

Remember those dome cities in ” Total Recall ” when the  glass failed?

Remember what happened to the people living there?

Ha.

Doesn’t seem like such a weird idea NOW does it?

So here’s a start.

Visit Al Gore’s site HERE.

And if you can’t take care of our Planet for your kids and friends and family do it for Santa and his Reindeer.

At least.

Modern Love Sucks

/ Anita Marie / Leave a comment

Cut Flowers.

Give them to someone you love.

How morbid.

How useless.

How strange

But I think I get it- back in the caveman days I’ll bet a male showed his love by killing and dragging home a Woolly Mammoth( by his teeth no less ) to prove his ability to care for his intended.

So instead of a giant dead animal in these modern times you get a giant bunch of dead flowers.

Aim high people.

I say ask for the Woolly Mammoth.

My nephew loved to hear about my writing.

He loved to hear about the interesting people and the interesting stories they tell and how I met them on my blogs.

Andy should have been a writer.

Andy died this morning at 3:09 am in his Father’s arms.

Andy had a disease called

Cerebellum Ataxia #7

He would have been 22 in July.

My brother- Andy’s father- is only 42.

They were both to young to have walked such a dark path…but they did it together with grace and dignity and love.

How I love them both.

It’s All In The Hips

How boring is the world we live in?

I’m glad you asked because I have THE answer.

It is so boring that

no one made a big deal out of the fact that

Hula Hoops have been with us for 50 years.

FIFTY YEARS.

So get your Hoops out and  Hula Already

What are you waiting for?

The Anniversary of the Yo- Yo

which I’ll bet gets ignored too…

Geeze.

My Hero

/ Anita Marie / 4 Comments

It was a bad day.

It was one of those I feel invisible days.

It was one of those ” if I got sucked up into an alien space ship from Mars or burst into flames I’ll bet no one would notice” kind of days.

You know.

It has been one THOSE days.

So when I come home from work in a worse then usual mood  I smell something coming from the hallway that goes into my bedroom and there I find

a bird wing

the hind quarters of something – don’t ask me what it was

a little pile of guts

And

sitting there purring his little heart out is my psycho cat

Blitzer.

He’s purring so loud his body is shaking and then he meows and climbs up my leg to my shoulder.

You know it is true…the little things that we do for each other counts for a lot.

Even if those little things attracts flies.

In Case Somebody Asks…

So today I spent time in Spokane.

I stayed in a room next to a river,  where I did some writing and ordered room service.

I ate Pizza, Crab Cakes and drank Cranberry Juice with a little Sprite added in for some bubbles.

Which I love

You know bubbles.

I love bubbles.

Anyway.

I felt like one of those spoiled, thin well kept women.

Oh.

In case anybody ask you…

God is in Spokane, Washington.

It’s a fact.

Word Up

/ Anita Marie / 7 Comments

It’s all about words today here at the Bones.

If you could banish a word from the English Language what would it be?

Me.

I would flush the word boing.

Heck.

I wouldn’t even bother to flush it, I’d take a plunger and jam it down the first toilet I could get too before I could stomp it out of existance.

Who the hell came up with that one?

Boing.

It serves no darn purpose.

Oh and while I’m at it I say we loose Awesome…I don’t hate the word Awesome I just think it would be funny to see what happens if people can’t short cut a view by heading down ‘awesome avenue’ instead of EXPLAINING why they think something is so spectacular it sucks the air out fo their lungs and makes them feel that the Universe is truly a very big place and that feeling sends a tingle up and down their spine.

So … think about it what word would you like to lose?

 

So One Day I’m Walking By This Mental Hospital….

/ Anita Marie / 4 Comments

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, ’13…13….13…13.’

(Yeah, I know, you are surprised that I was on the OUTSIDE)

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the
planks and looked through to see what was going on.

Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick.

Then they all started shouting. ’14…14…14…14….’.

Go Fish!

Do you know I have never written about Monkeys?

God knows why I haven’t done it yet.

I love monkeys.

I love monkeys because they drive Creationists nuts…I mean, Dinosaurs don’t seem to bother them..but Monkeys?

They HATE monkeys.

Anyway.

I love monkeys.

And today I’m writing about them because these Scientists found some monkeys in Thailand that can fish.

Hey.

I’m willing to bet two Pez dispenser and a pack of Grape flavored Pez that those little Monkeys could do that all along.

Geeze.

It doesn’t count unless a Scientist sees it?

Wow.

Does that mean I don’t exist until a Scientist sees me?

A long-tailed macaque monkey looks for fish in a river in Lesan, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, in Sept. 2007. Long-tailed macaque monkeys have a reputation for knowing how to find food, whether it be grabbing fruit from jungle trees or snatching a banana from a startled tourist. Now, researchers say they have discovered groups of the silver-haired monkeys in Indonesia that fish.
