Do the dance of geeker joy!
Sep. 5th, 2008 01:06 amIt's been a good past seven days. Kicked off last weekend when I sauntered up to London for birthday drinks with
princess_s and friends. The weather was glorious and the wine flowed freely. Good times.
The next day and it was up to Moseley Folk Festival with friends and family to imbibe cider and listen to the likes of Waterson: Carthy and Seth Lakeman. ( In which there were giraffes, tea, and more fawning over Mr Lakeman from all quarters... )
Then it was back to work, but I found myself cheered by the various reports and pictures coming out from Dragon*Con - like this one. Anthony Lewis, Gareth David-Lloyd and James Marsters on the Torchwood panel. *happy sigh* Sounds like a hell of a good weekend, suitably filthy yet amusing anecdotes, plus of course the eye candy :)
There was also Gladiators. It was the last ep with the 'Legends' (Wolf, Hunter and others) returning to put the new generation in their place, in some cases very emphatically. It was hard to feel sorry for the new glads when they were trounced purely because they were all so obviously fangirling/fanboying over actually getting to go up against the guys they adored as children. Hearing 'Wild Thing' beat out as Wolf entered the stadium was pure nostalgic joy :) It also proves that if you take good care of yourself, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to physically outperform some young whippersnapper a good 20 years younger than you - I draw hope from this!
Finally, today, there were more pics from the lastest scenes being shot for Torchwood series 3. All I can say is... damn. Wales certainly does produce some very very fine men and women *happy sigh*
