  • Voting at the consulate?

    WAIT, what? I could’ve voted at the US consulate? I didn’t know that! Oh well. At least I know my vote – despite costing me $12 to send – definitely got there in time to be counted.

  • The Football Gag

    BEST. PHOTO. EVER.

    The Football Gag

    I think this is honestly my favorite photo ever taken of the two of us. I really need to have it blown up and framed, I think.

  • GO WES!

    OH MY GOD! HE’S DOING A FULL-ON MICHAEL JACKSON ROUTINE! YOU’VE GOTTA SEE THIS! OH MY GOD! HE’S DOING THE MOONWALK! THE LONG-HAIRED HIPPIE GUY IS DOING THE MOONWALK AND HE KICKS ASS! THIS IS THE FIRST PERFORMANCE WHERE HIS HAT IS ACTUALLY APPROPRIATE! THAT ROCKED SO MUCH!”

    Yeah. That was me yelling to the Snook. Needless to say, I thought tonight’s Idol rocked. Wes doing the moonwalk was the most kickass moment since Dean Geyer did that backflip. Everyone else’s performance was just utter crap by comparison. Wes is walking away with this thing!

  • Happy Halloween from Charlie Brown and Lucy!

    Great party! It’s 1:15am and the last of the guests has left. We’ve stored what leftovers we can and put the rest in the bin. It’s time for a much needed sleep… Photos when we finally get up again!

    Sixteen hours later: Okay, the photos are up! As usual, I spent too much time socializing and not enough time taking pictures of the guests. You can see more (and better) photos of the festivities at: Andrew’s site, Bex’s Flickr page. I’m sure there will be more as people get them uploaded. Incidentally, I think we set some kind of a record with this party. More than 50% of the guests were bloggers! (Links on the photo page.)

    SPECIAL THANKS to: Fiona for helping me with my dress, Emily for carving the scary jack-o-lantern, Amy for her last-minute decorating assistance, and to all of the guests that brought special treats. It’s actually very humbling that so many of you are willing to come and share in our craziness with this event every year!

    Cutest. Cookies. Ever. (Special thanks to Emily for carving the very evil and Voldemortish jack-o-lantern.)
