2 Things That Start With C

And neither one is making me happy right now! HULK SMASH!!!

Thing #1: Cold. Not as in: "For a Vermont day in February, 20 degrees isn't very cold." As in:

toothpaste for dinner
toothpastefordinner.com

Thing #2: Coraline. Neil Gaiman's book rocked my world when it came out, and now there's a movie of it and I've wanted to see the movie now for months and I even marked on our calendar that we'd be seeing the movie this weekend. But nooooooooooooo. I have a cold. So, no Coraline for me.

Grumble. Cough. Drip.

But Neil Gaiman totally rocks that ad.

I've never heard of koumpounophobia. Did they make up that word just for this movie?

Is it worse than coulrophobia?

The movie is, um, really good. I hope knowing this only adds to the pleasurable anticipation, and does not in any way increase the icky feeling of mucus-filled immobility.
