My sinuses are acting up. In other news, I think I just booked a room for D*C.

This is in no way a hint.

ETA: I have soup.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

You instigator! Okay, Ianto, check. Below, we seem to have some Owen advice. If we are lucky we can get Tosh & Gwen responses as well!

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

See, I had this moment where I was going to deny the Iantoness, but then I realized:

- I actually HAVE booked a room.
- I actually DO have soup.
- I make really good hot drinks.
- I roll my ties.
- I can call someone a tosser in Welsh.

Damn it.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

You ROLL your ties?! Damn.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

It's...better for the silk?

*mumbledy shame*

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

You can roll my ties anytime.

*coughs*

Mine are a right mess between t-shirts and jeans and trousers and crumpled dress shirts.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Just sit there and wallow in your Iantoness.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Behold, an unposed action shot of part of my desk (http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm91/bodlon/deskshot.png) just to drive the point home.

Heh.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Good god, if I weren't already taken that desktop would woo me.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. Ianto would totally read The Secret History, too.

ETA: How do you say tosser in Welsh? I learned took a class in medieval welsh, but somehow the word didn't come up in any of the triads. Shame, that.

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

Well, the way I've seen it is mainly just a borrow into Welsh orthography (tosyr), as in Tosyr o'r radd flaenaf.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Love the desk. And the books.

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

For a cold; forget soup, that's for wimps and babies.
In hot water, whisky or brandy, lemon and honey. If you have echinacea have some of that too. I don't add it to my brew because I don't like the taste.
Garlic is also great for colds.

Hope you both feel better soon!

Sam

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

we will try!

You can be Owen. I feel sure Owen would recommend your brew as well.

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

I'd love to be Owen! Oooh the power! And the babes ..... :D

I'll give Tea-Boy the instructions on the brew and let him make it while I go and dissect something hideous. (I might still have my dissection kit somewhere; yes I really do have one!)

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

For some reason, the girls seem underrepresented...

[troygirl68.livejournal.com]

Someone will turn up.

Meanwhile, I'm dancing to Neil Diamond with the sprogs before they go to bed.

Gotta love Cracklin' Rosie ....

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

*grins* sounds lovely. I am (whilst sniffling energetically) off to pick up one of my friends from the subway so we can watch d. tennant and p. o'toole in Casanova.

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

Wide-eyed looks and a cool hand pressed to the forehead, concerned shuffling about, shifty looks...

Ah no, I really can't do Gwen. Obviously.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

shifty looks??? *laughs*

[jo02]

You two are seriously crack'd *g* thank you for sharing!

(and hope you - plural - get better soon)

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

lol. thank you! We will endeavor to do so.

You two are seriously crack'd *g*

We are, it's very true. Sometimes we'll be having a fic conversation over the phone, and one of us will be on the bus or something, and then we realize we're out in public and talking loudly about fisting or whatever. Ahh, cell phones, the crackedness enabler.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

not you too!
o these illnesses - they are evil
my dad kept trying to get me to eat chicken soup, i tried explaining that bird caracasses do not magically cure colds and i'm not eating it!
blankies are good, though
and hot chocolate

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Hot chocolate! You have to be Myfanwy!

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

i'm a giant reptile?

...

*shrug*

ok, at least i can fly

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Myfanwy is my favorite, if that helps. ;-)

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

she is quite awesome, no doubt
we need an episode from her perspective

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

This is 99% irrelevant, but I would like to observe that "bright side. cat nuns!" made me realise that if Jack IS the Face Of Boe he spends his old age surrounded by pussy.

Perhaps not in the way he'd intended, but still. It's got to be worth something, as a line.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

This is for you.

For serious, I am not even kidding, that was in my brother's bookshelf and I just traded it on swaptree for a Titan AE DVD.

HAND TO GOD.

*dies laughing*
I resemble resent those remarks about fantasy novels.
But, but, but. RAISTLIN. *sniff*

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

And bitching about the hot water in his End-of-the-World suite. He IS Hugh Hefner. Who knew?

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

Hi, I was working on identifying this device that fell out of the Rift. It turns out to be an un-sick-making machine. Maybe that'll help?

I'd date you, but then you'd die.

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot, Tosh. Even talking about dating me, and I'm beginning to feel peaked(er). You, you, date-slaying preying mantis!

[kalichan.livejournal.com]

p.s. Owen is a bit upthread ;-)
