Is There A Doctor In The House?

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

I want to know what’s going to happen to The Doctor on Doctor Who…and I’ve decided to try figuring it out the old fashioned way.

Oh sure.

Powers of Deduction- who do you think I am?

 Sherlock Holmes?

Get a grip.

I’m talking about Black Magic.

And don’t look at me like that- many a Politician and Super Model have used the Dark Arts to their advantage.

So here we go.

I’ve got a Ouji Board:

 

And the Planchette:

Now, place your fingers lightly  on the planchette-your index fingers smarty pants okay…now we place our fingers on the Planchette and chant

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade….

Quit laughing… it’s the only chant I know and  this won’t work if you laugh- okay…here’s my request to the Spirit World quit laughing or you won’t hear it:

I want to know if David Tennant is going to be in the next season of Doctor Who- ooooohhhh the sounds of silence…I guess that means I go on with:

Spirits of The Board….

What will happen to The Doctor in the upcoming episode, ” Turn Left “- specifically…will  David Tennant still be the Doctor?

and the answer is:

S-T-A-R-T 

D-R-I-N-K-I-N-G

UH-OH.

Beauty Was A Beast

/ Anita Marie / 1 Comment

 Once Upon A Time

When I was about 6 years old my family realized I was a little girl who was fascinated with stories about Head Hunters and Zombies and a guy named ” Burke’s Hare ” who robbed graves and sold the rotting bodies to ” Franks  Stein ” who in turn made Monsters out of them.

I guess my family were more then a little disturbed by my taste in literature so they tried to balance things out by introducing me to your more traditional fairy tales…

Like

 Cinderella

At first I liked Cinderella, but it became clear to me during story time that she needed magic to be prettier then her sisters. I was not encouraged by that as I was not exactly the cutest kid on the block and unless someone showed up with a magic wand I figured I was in trouble.

In the end I was scared of the Cinderella story, it used to give me nightmares.

However I LOVED Snow White.

She got to live in the woods and she ate a poisoned apple and lived-which made perfect sense to me as I had swallowed kerosene on a dare a year before and I had lived.

So I felt a kinship with Snow White and her weird friends who looked like trolls.

She was one lucky girl I remember thinking- her friends were monsters and carried axes and in addition she had black hair too ( which wasn’t something girls in fairy tales had unless they were bad ) so I happily saw myself in that role and asked for that story a lot.

But the Fairy Tale Character who offended me to the marrow of my little girl bones and the one character I truly learned to hate was Beauty- from Beauty and the Beast.

More then halfway through the story I did whatever it is kids do during story time to be disruptive and my Grandma tossed the book into my toy box and that was the end of that.

Or so I thought.

So why did I get so upset?

Here.

Let me count the ways.

First of all her Dad ditches her in the woods and she spends all of her time wishing he would come back-had that been my Dad there would have been serious Hell to pay if he had ever shown his face around me again…

but I digress.

The only person who is nice to Beauty is an Ugly Man who almost dies when Beauty’s  kid ditching Dad shows up and takes her back.

Now that part made me cry and it was awhile before I agreed to hear the end of the story which my Grandma was glad to tell me because I had taken to drawing pictures of Beauty being visited by ” Burkes Hare ” and I was hanging them up all over the walls in my bedroom.

Well.

I was mad, but a sport so I learned that Beauty goes back to the castle the Beast and everything around the castle comes back to life and…

Beast turns into a handsome Prince “and they lived Happily Ever After” my relieved Grandmother sang out as she finished the story.

I remember telling my Grandma ” If she had eaten a poisoned apple that would have been a  very happy ending.”

” You really think so, don’t you. “

It really wasn’t a question.

I didn’t say anything but I remember my Grandmother looked at me with those wicked green eyes of hers and winked at me. I remember she said something about not winning them all…

and I was never treated to another Fairy Tale by anybody in my family again.

….And we all lived happily ever after that.

The End.

Once I Saw A Real Monster

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

When I was about 11 years old my class went on a field trip.

On the field trip we were supposed to collect leaves and  things and put them into a scrapbook that we had spent a week during ” Art Time ” putting together…

my book looked lame, I was never good at art.

Anyway.

I was reaching for a leaf and I was leaning over a railing when I felt this push on my back and I caught myself just as I flipped over the top….had I not caught myself I would have fallen at least 40 feet down onto the rail road tracks below.

It took me a second to steady myself and then I turned around.

There were three boys standing there and two of them looked at the third and one said, ” he pushed you. “

Two of the boys looked stunned.

The boy who pushed me smiled.

He smiled.

I never told on him.

I should have.

I should have told someone I saw a monster that day.

Don’t Tread On Me

When you write weird stories and have a collection of shrunken heads  ( and for the 50  billion-th time YES THEY ARE FAKE! ) people send you weird news stories and ask you what you think of them.

You know that look your parents had on their face the first time they had to try and explain what made boys and girls different from each other? That’s the look people have on their faces when they ask me about the severed  human feet encased in running shoes that have been washing up in Vancouver BC.

Okay.

I’m macabre- it’s who I am and what I write about but I am not without empathy and I’m very aware of the fact that those feet were attached to someones son or daughter, wife or husband.

So I would never walk up to someone like ME and ask a question like that.

Because, you know- I have respect for the dead.

As to the living- well, if someone asks me about body parts washing up on a beach I know darn well they’re not looking for solace so I say,

” I think that the rabbits are sending us a message. “

 

 

 Sleep with the fishes
 

Fish wrapped up in an article of clothing of the person who has been hit, whacked, killed, was then wrapped in newspaper and delivered to the capos, signifying that the member was dead, and at the bottom of the sea.

Its a Sicilian Message – He sleep with the fishes–from Godfather.

A Party In Your Brain

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

What makes good art?

I think it should make your mouth say, ” ahhh yes- ” I also believe that good art should agree with not only your eyes but your sense of smell and taste and hearing as well.

In short I think that

Good Art should bring all those things together where they can have a party in your brain.

That’s what I think makes good Art.

So I happen to think that the following is Art…It’s Sushi Art and it must be true Art because the Internet says so HERE

Besides, you wouldn’t be able to sit down at a table look at this and not enjoy it.

And if you can’t you’re a Chuckle- Head who needs to lighten up.
