I am alive!

I didn't die in a horrible accident on the motorway, I just had no internet in the hotel. LOL!

Lots to report and many pics to share which I will do as soon as I can. I'm on my own at work at the moment and Dave is visiting until tomorrow so I'm going to be limited on what I can do. I'm going to spend the day trying to catch up with my flist. I haven't been online since Thursday morning

What have I been up to?

I've gone back as far as skip 980 and I'm still not fully caught up. If I haven't commented on something you want me to see then drop me a comment.

Now, my trip to Wales in bullet points (or numbered points to be precise)

1. The motorway is scary! I was warned but it was worse than I imagined. I nearly got crushed twice by people not looking and pulling into my lane. Driving home was a bit better.

2. I went to some of the Torchwood external locations and it was awesome, especially since my Mum grew up in Cardiff so knew where all the interesting places were. I was amused to discover that Splott is a real place, and Mum-Ra was amused when I used Ianto's 'I believe the locals pronounce it Sploh' line.

3. I went to a Doctor Who exhibit which was also cool, and mostly had stuff from New Who so I didn't feel like a n00b

4. I saw lots of old castles. I love visiting castles.

5. I saw Hellboy 2 and that was awesome too.

6. I went to few museums too and they were interesting

7. I went to the park where my mum used to play when she was a kid. It was right next to the beach so I got to see the sea too.

8. I saw Aled Jones in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I think that was the bulk of it

Reading through my flist I am super-excited about meeting Michael next month now I have read all the awesome reports about the thing last weekend

Michael said drusplace was a hottie and he demanded that richess grab his ass to feel how flat it was

I am in envy of my friends! LOL!










Who else is going to Collectormania? I know about complicat, yavannauk and aurora_bee

Anyone else joining our posse?

Two things

1. Am I the only person on the planet who didn't know David Hyde Pierce is gay?

2. How did I not realise Luke Goss was Prince Nuada in Hellboy 2? Clearly it was the prosthetics and long hair that made him hot because there is no way I'd fancy someone formerly in Bros

Photos!

I'll spread my photos out over the next few days because there is a lot

Here we have photos of Cardiff Bay (or Bae Caerdydd as I learned in Welsh. Welsh is an ace language. I had Mum-Ra teachig me how to pronounce stuff all weekend) and some of the Torchwood locations

( Excuse me, have you seen a blowfish driving a sports car? )

When geekery attacks

Somehow me and a couple of guys at livejournal_uk have comandeered a post about Superman vs Bullseye and turned it into a post about who we would cast in our imaginary film of The Ultimates

We're struggling with a Thor at the moment
