Isn't Gareth David-Lloyd Ianto?

Yes. t swoon

I know, me too! You did get the full length videos, right? 'Cause omg, the cussing and the nod to JM and the working the microphone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda was up much of the night with snorky, snoring, snuffling congestion.

Emmett's running a fever because he did not heed the warning to quit kissing the sticky and sick baby.

Feh. Still, we have coffee and No Work so we're better off than Dana.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am at work too, Dana. And I have to work tonight sewing costumes as well, which sort of sucks. I have a designer coming in for fittings and we are not ready. I sent an email last night basically saying that though we weren't ready, we at least had mock-ups to fit on people, and some costumes ready for fitting, and if I skip the designer run tonight, we could have more. And I haven't heard from anyone, so for all I know, they are really angry, although it is in fact reasonable that we haven't finished because we only got the fabric 1 week ago, the stitcher and I both have full time jobs, students weren't back from Christmas break until mid-last week, almost everything the designer chose was a directional print or plaid, I got sick for 2 days this week, and the we are sewing an evening gown, pleather pants, a chiffon robe, a 30's tailored women's outfit, a nurses cape, a nurse uniform, a skirt, a 30's dress and a kimono. But I keep thinking I am going to walk in and be fired....

Off Topic Completely - I want an Alfred E. Newman/George W. Bush What, Me Worry? roll out of products again. Someone could make a fortune.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Anyone here with any experience traveling in Southern Utah?

I would love some opinions on various sites (must sees, what's overrated/underrated, what should be a "stop" and what should be a "stopover", etc.). I'm trying to plan a trip for October with someone that loves the idea of hiking canyon country, but doesn't really like road trips. So I'm trying to limit myself to three places to stay over 7-8 nights. And the places to stay would be nice lodges/spa-type places.

I'm thinking of flying into Las Vegas and out of Moab (Actually I would add a couple of days and drive back to LV with the car, stopping in Monument Valley and the Northern Rim of the Grand Canyon on my way back) but my friends would leave from Moab or Grand Junction, CO.

Basic impressions from my readings:
--All the parks sound cool, but if we were only going to do two areas, I would do Arches/Canyonlands and Bryce, although the Capitol Reef petroglyphs and Mesa Verde pueblo cliff homes sound like they are worth seeing (Mesa Verde I might see on my own when heading back).
--Zion seems less interesting somehow. The scenic drive has been closed to traffic except for a free shuttle and Zion seems to be something that can be done relatively quickly (as opposed to Bryce Canyon where the lodge seems a bit nicer and sunrise photos the thing to do). Is this right?
--There's a great lodge and restaurant in Boulder (b/w Capitol Reef and Grand Staircase), but does it make sense to stay there for a couple of days at the expense of staying in either Bryce or Zion?

Any advice would be much appreciated. I'm trying to get the route down now so we can reserve lodges in the park if we want.

ETA: line breaks

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, so videos of full Gareth songs downloadable here: [link] by londinensa in torchwoodcoffee. (Mannish Boy, Just Dropped In, Glory Box, Death Letter Blues, Roadhouse Blues).

She's got more, including the Marsters stuff here: [link] at torch_wood. (When I Was a Baby, Don't Do It, The Truth Is (A Heavy Stone), London City, Don't Worry Son, Not a Millionaire, Katie, Up On Me) which I haven't got yet, what with the download bandwidth limits and all.

They're handheld videos, so they're not the best quality, but they're pretty good considering.

And for those of you wondering what the heck we're squeeing about, there's youtube clips, too:

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Bah, humbug, all you people with the day off.

It was 27 out when we went to the car. Seattle is not supposed to get that cold. Our mud in the parking area was frozen over.
