Lots and lots of
research.
Wow.
Being a serious writer
is hard work!

My Thanksgiving Note To All
PLEASE NOTE
I am Thankful For:
Godzilla Movies- because when I was a kid it was nice to see a big monster make grown-ups ( who looked teeny tiny people ) cry like babies.
My husband- and I’m not saying that because I desperately want Pirate Boots for Christmas, I’m saying that because I’m going to GET Pirate Boots for Christmas.
My family who not only accept me in all of my weirdness they can do it with a smile on their faces ( okay, so they’re laughing hysterically, whatever- sometimes you have to take what you get )
My friends out here in the real world who put up with me in the cyber-world and support my writing- just by reading it- no kidding,-like it’s not enough to deal with me- on top of that they deal with my weird stories about cannibals and graveyards and the stuff I write here.
They’re Saints I tell you…SAINTS.
I’m also thankful for my Cats and my Dogs because they remind me everyday that I’m not an island, that what I do affects the world around me and that one good deed can without a doubt not matter-
but you should do them anyways.
And of course, I’m thankful for Bruce Campbell and David Tennant and Swing Music and of course Mozart.
So as I spend Thursday in self indulgence mode, I am going to be thankful for the world around me and for the people and thing inside of it
and I’m going to enjoy it all.
I hope you do to.
Happy T-Day
from
Anita Marie

What I Want For Christmas Pt 1
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that’s the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too
(Short Music Interlude)
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
(Short Music Interlude)
There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!

Ode To My Hippy- Baby Friends
I have a half dozen friends
who all share the same name
and
who to this day
all go by nickname based on their real name.
Why?
Because their parents were total hippies and named them after a song about a floozy named
Cecilia.
CECILIA- Simon and Garfunkel
CHORUS:
F Bb F
Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart
Bb F C
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Bb F Bb F
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
Bb F C
I’m begging you please to come home
F
Come on home
CHORUS
F Bb F
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Bb C F
Up in my bedroom
Bb F
I got up to wash my face
Bb
When I come back to bed
C F
Someone’s taken my place …CHORUS
F Bb F Bb F C
Bo po bo bo …
Bb F Bb F
Jubilation, she loves me again
Bb F C
I fall on the floor and I laughing
Bb F Bb F
Jubilation, she loves me again
Bb F C
I fall on the floor and I laughing
Bb F Bb F Bb F C
Wo ho oooh …
And Whatever Walks There…

Over the week I watched some shows as well as a couple of movies about abandoned insane asylums.
One of my favorite shows is called Ghost Adventures where the investigators are running around ” screaming did you see that, did you see that” ( no, and I doubt if they did either, being that most of the action takes place in the dark ) during the course of their investigations.
Anyway.
Ghost Adventures is always a good watch and I enjoyed watching them do their build up (their interviews with witnesses are great, they just open the mic and go for it ) to the big night when they would be locked down in the haunted asylum– which as I’ve already mentioned was my topic of the week.
But as I watched and- make no mistake- I enjoyed the stories, it did make me feel bad for the ‘ghosts’ who were supposed to haunt these places- because in the story- be it a ghost hunter show, or a movie- is the not so subtle message that if you were mentally ill in life you’re going to be in the after life as well.
I would argue that maybe– if you were to not head down to the morgue in these places to look for ghosts ( I’ve worked in morgues, mostly I might do some cleaning or paperwork- and they are BORING BORING PLACES ) and really thought about it you might realize that you’re in a building where some weird things are happening and all that is actually in the room with you is…
you
and the room.
You might come to the conclusion that maybe Shirley Jackson is right- maybe some buildings are not sane and what walks in them doesn’t walk alone-
especially if you’re foolish enough to go into those places by yourself.
Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”

Another Bloody Musical?!
When I go shopping at the grocery and I’m waiting in line to be checked out
I don’t watch TV on those little screens above the cash registers.
I don’t reach for ” People ” magazine, or one of those snacks or paperbook books they put on those racks that divide the lines.
I’m pretty good about not going for the impulse items.
HOWEVER
I have been known to shove baby strollers, old people and seeing eye dogs out of my way in order to get my hands on the Weekly World News if Bat Boy was on the cover.
If you have to write stories about Vampires or Bat People, for heaven’s sake tell a good story- and I happen to think that the Bat Boy stories were darn great stories.
And I’m not alone.
Bat Boy is a musical now…oh hurray!
A MUSICAL!
Here’s the LINK
Trust me…you do NOT want to miss out on the coolness that is
