Ed and I spent New Year’s Eve on the outskirts of Seattle, at the new (as of around noon that day) home of Doug and Ali (official name: Sparkle Castle). The party had a Whedon theme, and everyone came through:

from Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

• Cheerleader Buffy
• Halloween Anya
• Dark Willow
• Oz
• Cheerleader Cordelia
• Giles

from Angel:

• Lorne

from Firefly:

• Malcolm Reynolds
• Inara
• River Tam
• Wash
• Jayne
• Kaylee
• Two by two, hands of blue

from Dr. Horrible:

• Dr. Horrible
• Captain Hammer
• the Pink Pummeler
• Penny

from Cabin in the Woods:

• The Dolls
• American Slow-Walking Creepy Girl

from Dollhouse:

• Dr. Saunders
• Various Dolls

There wasn’t a single duplicate costume or character, and it was SO MUCH FUN. Doug and Ali always throw amazing parties, but this one was all that and more. It was an excellent way to ring in 2014!

I’m on vacation until Monday, so I’m getting away from the computer. I still need to do a 2013 recap (complete with pinpointing the EXACT DATE my year went to complete and utter shit), but right now there is no food in our house so it’s time to do groceries. Here’s to a grand 2014 for everyone!

i solemnly swear i am up to no good
