A Trip To Cardiff - aka Journey To The Centre Of The Whoniverse

[magicom]

This is only my third journal entry of 2009. I'm not exactly prolific, am I?

My recent visit to Cardiff was very Whoniversey and I decided to put together a collection of particularly Doctor Who/Torchwood related pics. The photos are mine, the screencaps come from The Medusa Cascade.

All of the pictures will get somewhat bigger if you click on them,

K9 is HUGE in person! Normally stuff seems so much smaller when you see it up close, but it was the opposite for me with K9.

I really need to get my Cardiff pictures posted. And my Britain pictures in general. Uuugh, laziness and delays. I wasn't anywhere near as systematic about any of this stuff, especially since I'm still so far behind on Torchwood, but I'm glad I went. Now when I do finally watch it I can freak out about having been there. And I need to watch the episodes of DW where Ten wears the blue suit and freak out about having omgtouchedthat.

I KNOW! And I'm not usually all "Do I look like an out of bounds kind of guy" on things, but I totally touched the Doctor's suit and BOTH of Jack's costumes. Eeeeee!

It was really cool being there in person. It also gives you a better sense of where things in the city are in relation to each other :)

omfg this is awesome. The Ianto shriiiiiiiine ;____; I'm jealous you touched the TARDIS :\ and Jack's clothes :\

[magicom]

I see your smooch icon and raise you a snog :P

I can't believe it, actually. It was AWESOME!

[prosopopeya]

OH SNAP. The only other Torchwood icon I have on this journal is this one.

I'm rather fond of it. :)

[magicom]

Well, having no icons from Adrift with which to up the icon-sex-act stakes, I will simply revert to something kinda cute :D

You'd think with the amount of time those two spend making out in public, I'd have BEEN THERE, at some point, when it happened. But no.

THAT IS SO EPIC.

[magicom]

Hee! Thanks! I hope so! It took me SOOOOO many hours!

[billy_shriner]

Good to see you are about though. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Cardiff - certainly looked like it.

You should post more often!!!

[magicom]

Thank you! We really did enjoy it :D And nice to see you Billy!!!!

[billy_shriner]

Good to see you too... You know, you weren't actually far from where I live, I'm just past Bristol (Across the Severn Bridge).

Hope the weather was kind... we've had another naff summer!

[magicom]

Get out! :D My husband lives in Stratford-upon-Avon, so we were mostly there and around that area, but he took my fangirly self to Cardiff because when we went last year, the Doctor Who Exhibition was closed for refurbishment. We did have SOME less-than-stellar weather, though! It absolutely poured the entire day when we went to Alton Towers, though the upside was we didn't have to queue for very many rides :) We could go on our favourite roller coasters TWICE! In JULY! :D Anyway, it's been humid and sweltering here, so I was not upset about the lovely, cool British summer weather!

Hi Jamie! Thanks! And thanks for dropping by, even though you don't know the canon well :) The costumes were actually part of a little Doctor Who museum the production company has set up in, funnily enough, a shopping centre near the Bay. They're the actual costumes worn by the actual actors during filming, hence my EXTREME excitement. Especially about the Captain Jack ones. Two of them. TWO! :D

And the real you is more than acceptable!! :D

[magicom]

Hee! That's okay, I'm high on caffeine and low on bloodsugar myself today. I really must eat lunch soon :D

OMG. Okay, I can only say this with a mathematical equation:

ME + Jack!Coat = SQUEEEE. It's scientific. I think I *do* need a Jack coat and I don't even care how pathetic that is :D
