The Angels Have The Phone Box!

...and luckily, they work at the Doctor Who Exhibition at the Red Dragon Centre in Cardiff.

Seriously, guy at the front desk...SO NICE. I bought a defunct toy (the nature of which I will be revealing in person because it is too damn cute for a mere blog to handle), and he tried THREE more before we found one that worked. He didn't even blink. Then he gave me a whole whack of spare batteries, a bunch of bumper stickers and a Dalek facecloth for my trouble. Wow. I couldn't even believe it. THAT is called customer service, my friends!

Of course, the exhibit itself was awesome as well. I got to look at David Tennant's sneakers through a glass case (OOH AHH) and see all his costumes. They had a Tardis, of course, and a whole shipload of props and monsters. GOOD TIMES, people, good times.

I also hung out under the Torchwood tower (the big mirror tower at the Millennium Centre). Unfortunately, Torchwood was closed that day. Either that, or Jack saw I was coming and locked the door. :( But I did get to see the tower with the water running, which was a bonus. When I first showed up it was bone dry, and I thought 'Aww. Maybe it only runs on Sundays or something'. But THEN a little trickle of water ran down it. And another, and another until the whole thing was shimmering. Very beautiful, I must say.

I saw Cardiff Castle too, and that was awesome. It started as a Viking fortress, then the Romans took over, then the Normans, then the Georgians and the Victorians, so there are, like, fourteen different kinds of building all put together. The one thing they all have in common is that they were each built by eccentric rich people. William Burgess designed most of the Georgian part, and apparently he was high on opium the whole time, so most of it came out quite...original. Especially the nursery. But a good day, either way.

Tomorrow...WINCANTON.

The turtle moves.
