To assist in my peaceful night, I have put on (you guessed it) Pride and Prejudice 2005. It isn't working. To be honest, it is working, but in the completely opposite way. Instead of lulling me to sleep with the most romantic story that ever was written, it has got my mind racing with images of Matthew Macfadyen and all his upcoming appearances.

In 1 month, Incendiary is set to be released in the UK. I have just been informed that Matthew has gotten quite a lot of screen time, which is great... if only it will come to the US. The image of Matthew in a uniform and sporting a beard- though I do usually tend to hate facial hair- is burned in my mind. Hands in pockets. Looking at the camera. He looks supremely handsome.

Then, in November, Little Dorrit is set for release- once again in the UK. Now, I don't begrudge the wonderful people in the UK anything. But come on!!! I want him too!!! The pictures that have been released are beautiful. Matthew in period clothing is just more than my little heart can take!!! I must see this program. Unfortunately, there is usually a lengthy delay before Masterpiece Theater plays these movies for us... we'll see.

Finally, in December (although the date seems to be coming to me differently every time I hear it) we should have the privilege of seeing Matthew in all his glory on the big screen for the first time since Death at a Funeral. Although the movie seems interesting enough, I don't think that under normal circumstances I would be chomping at the bit to see a movie about Tricky Dick. But... Ron Howard, had the good sense to put Matthew Macfadyen in this movie to lure audiences to the theater!! Genius man, Ron Howard is!! There are whispers of a particular scene in which Matthew runs nude into the ocean... gulp... maybe now I can sleep!

Sweet dreams!

I'm giving in to my Matthew Macfadyen urges tonight. I have updated my Myspace page with a slide show of pictures of the man. The music that plays with it is James Blunt's "You're Beautiful". It just seems to be the most fitting statement. 

Beautiful  just does not describe Matthew. But it will have to be close enough. I could go on at length about the blue of his eyes that almost exactly matches the blue of the sky on a warm summer afternoon. I could also talk about his lips that have a way of drawing me in. The smallest little twitch, or heaven forbid- a full smile, and my stomach flips! But what I am most thinking about tonight is Matthew's eyelashes. Recently, a friend asked how I could can be so excited by someone's eyelashes. The only rational explanation I could come up with is that they're Matthew's. I can't explain any further. I just don't know. But when I see Matthew's eyelashes flutter in Pride & Prejudice I am completely lost. And lost I shall remain. There are a lot worse ways to be!

Matthew Macfadyen has seemingly disappeared this summer!!!! Where is he??? It occurs to me that I have been feeling the loss of him for some time and blaming my foul mood on other, more obvious but less distressing, things. I know, I know... this is not a person who I have ever met or may ever meet. That's ok. Well, I'd like it better if I did!! But really, Matthew has become a part of my life. My family speaks of him as if he's an old friend. I think of him in the same way. Even my co-workers "know" him- through me. 

This summer was going to be "THE" summer. He was going to make a splash in "Frost/ Nixon", which is sure to be a huge hit if it is ever released. Then there was "Little Dorret" to think about and the possibility of photo-ops. And who could forget "Miss Marple" and yet another opportunity to see this elusive man on the television??? 

Deep sigh. 

None if it has happened yet. It's July and I can't remember the last time I saw any news of Matthew. No new pictures, no current awards... it seems a long time. And yet, just a little while back he made his little walk on the red carpet in his cravat and a devastatingly handsome new haircut. 

Ahhhhhh... this man. What does he do to me?? He makes me wait. He makes me wonder. He makes me shiver with anticipation. And anticipate I do...
