In Which I Follow Through

We did it! Just like I said we would!

(I call this my KStew face.)

At the trunk or treat only one person knew who we were, but at another party Drew was the biggest hit of the night. Naturally, no one recognized me on my own, hah. Doesn't Mr. Graham just look so great? He totally pulled it off.

In case you're curious about the details, we ordered his shirt off Amazon, found the (Darth Vader) gloves at a Halloween store, the pants at DI and borrowed the boots. My costume was all my own stuff except a $1 shirt from DI and a clip board. By the end of the night I even had two signatures (Billy and Phil)! Naturally, it was more expensive than sticking to our traditional stuff, but it was fun to be something new and unexpected (though we did run as Harry and Hermione in a 5K this morning, as well at work on Friday). Now I'm just trying to think of other occasions to wear them...
(Have you seen it yet?)

Hallow's Eve: It's Festive

I really like Halloween. There are a lot of good elements--fall, candies, costumes, pumpkins, spooky things. Also, Nightmare Before Christmas. But the costumes are surely my favorite part. I think I have dressed up pretty much every Halloween except for one year about 6-7 years ago when it was on a Sunday and there was no where to go and nothing to do. Anywhey, for the last long while I have been Hermione every year*, and you can probably guess that D-Rew has been Harry Potter for lo, these many years. So this year, after considering Jim and Pam for a while, we decided to join our magical forces for the first time. We were extremely accurate besides blatantly ignoring canon pairings, but Ginny was not an option. No.


We went to the local Trunk or Treat and we had both the best trunk and the best costumes. And then we ate pasta and Sticky Fingers at Wingers. Then we went home and watched Edward Scissorhands. Huzzah! (If you want a more detailed look at our Halloween festivities you can check out the Mister's blog. When he posts about it. Which he will because I'm watching him type it right now. I'm going to beat him to the punch though, haha.)

Anyway, on a final note, I realized that day that instead of our old English standbys, it would have been seriously awesome if we had been these guys instead:



Penny and Captain Hammer! It would have been awesome and hilarious and moderately obscure. If you don't know what I'm talking about, kindly investigate the world of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Now we have a whole year to get ready, and look out world, next Halloween we're going to be Penny and Captain Tightpants Hammer and it will be awesome.

*Three Halloweens ago I had just chopped off my hair so I consoled myself by being a pirate. And two Halloweens ago I was also Pam. That's about all my branching out since, oh, 2002.

The Internet Loves Me

I finally got the Internet at my new apartment and to shows its love and affection, the Internet gave me this:


Dr. Horrible My Little Ponies! Two things I love combined into one! It's amazing! And you can see more pictures here!

Awesome!

(No, I didn't make them, but you knew that already.)
