As I was walking down a stretch of road I've walked on a thousand times (more or less), a vaguely scruffy-looking, bespectacled man of indeterminate age took some mail out of a box and walked into a house which had clearly been sitting there for many years and which I had never seen before. I stopped and stood looking at the house for a while in surprise. Briefly I wondered if this scene had been written by Neil Gaiman or Charles Williams or some other author whose works I've enjoyed, but then I figured that as long as I was too tired to be a major character it didn't matter much anyway. I walked on.

Maybe in a later chapter I get something more than a walk-on part.

Wah! It's been too long since I've seen that movie!
By which I mean the Gene Wilder version. I've never seen the one with Johnny Depp in it at all. Woe!

Willie Wonka is cool.

Well I don't think the Johnny Depp one has come out yet but I cannot wait! Willy Wonka is my childhood crush (along with David Bowie) and Johnny Depp is God's gift to women. ;-P It's been too long since I've seen the original too ... hmmm... I think I have it on vhs somewhere. I will have to dig it out and watch it again! :-D
