a little explanation
I have spent this afternoon dozing and feeling grotty from mystery bug having excused myself from work at lunchtime. I'm a lot more alert now, and back with the Mac. I feel a little bit more explanation of scary things is required. Jeff Goldblum and Kim Basinger repulsed me in the 80's and early 90's, but I am less frightened of them now. Kim just seemed to be so pink and made of plasatic, and Jeff's lips looked like they were always wet. Gene Wilder continues to frighten me immensely, and I found 'The Orchid Thief' difficult to watch because Nic Cage looks so much like him in this film, I think it's the hair. Even writing about it makes me faintly nauseous.
I have also omitted my fear of drowning in the tut Mr McMuffin fills our house with, he is the kind of pack rat that pack rat parents hold up as an inspirational model to their offspring. I now have a rule, that if he buys something new for the kitchen, he has to throw something out. He was very pleased with himself for buying some enormous bowls, and then proceeded to throw a tiny one away complaining that he'd never liked Italian stuff, apparently it chips too easily. Sometimes I just feel like emailing his therapist with a list of things I want fixed!
I have also discovered via an email from Dutch friend that I am collecting her from Heathrow on Saturday. She thinks it is very kind of me. So do I, and I wonder when I am going to offer! Despite my fear of flying, I love airports, so I'm not too bothered by this. However, it would have been nice to know, Mr McMuffin!
So what has Mr McMuffin done to deserve such a bashing? Absolutely nothing! Someone has to pay when I don't feel healthy but am not proper sick, and he was daft enough to marry me 'in SICKNESS and in health'. I feel better now.

I was always far more frightened by Marty Feldman than Gene Wilder, admittedly that hair is an issue and Willy Wonka did creep me out a bit, especially that psychedelic scene on the riverboat where he gets all loud and bug eyed and AAARRRRRRGGHHHH. Sorry - flashbacks.
I so agree with the Muffin man as well. That beautiful on the outside Italian crockery is just soft clay that laughs as you as the slightest tap pulls off a giant chunk. Since I am Italian, I can say this.
The Italian credo is beautiful to look at but the inside - not so well thought out.

I just wanted to say how "knowing" you two has got me befuddled. I can no longer call any item of McDonalds food by the right name, I call everything "A McMuffin". I almost ordered two McMuffins and two side McMuffins today instead of two burgers and two side salds. I did actually order a McMuffin instead of a McFlurry and then proceded to call the McFlurry a McMuffin in every conversation I had about McDonalds for the rest of the day!
I just wanted to thank you both! :-S

First, don't go to McDonalds......please....
Second - Willy Wonka, the chap was a god!!!! How can he ever ever instil terror? The man invented a world made out of chocolate for God's sake!!!! If it wasn't politically incorrect to say so I'd marry him, have his chocolate babies, and EAT them.
