Welcome to the seven hundredth Quirky Muffin, where much bunting has been strewn about, and the mythical origami dodecahedron has finally been folded! Hurrah! Seven hundred posts! What lunacy! Who would have thought that that first piece of fluffy nonsense in 2012 would have led to another six hundred and ninety nine pieces of similarly silly stuff? And a dodecahedron?
Over the course of seven hundred posts, real life has passed through the end of a PhD, two postdoctoral jobs and the beginnings of a self employed career as a private tutor and freelance copy editor. Personal lives have changed, and circumstances have come and gone. Many reviews and chats about books, films, radio and television series have been written, numerous stories have been launched, and several creative crises. There has even been the occasional bit of promised baking!
Seven hundred posts in, some things have been written to the point of extinction. There has been quite a lot on the series 'Star Trek' and 'Due South', and some 'Superman' movies, as well as several attempts each at posts on the films 'Flash Gordon' and 'Joe Versus The Volcano'. In fact, it's probably time to try and write something coherent about 'Joe Versus The Volcano' again. That's such a great film. Wonderful. Let's have another go.
What is to come? Will the Muffin make it to eight hundred posts? Or a thousand? Will the stories continue, and the chattering about various kinds of entertainment? Will there be more 'Star Trek', 'MASH' and 'The West Wing' ramblings, and sheer randomness? Only time will tell, although the second phase of 'Wordspace' and the joined up version of 'Oneiromancy' are now in active development...

PS Wanted: Someone with experience of rescuing writers from an excessive and imprisoning amount of bunting. Some urgency is present.
