Last selfie of 2013!
I spent my last afternoon eating left over bi bim bab and working on entries for this site.
maddy, meredith
Mer came over to my place a little after 9pm, and we walked with the dogs over to the West Village...
hans, meredith
...to bring in the new year at Ellen & Hans' apartment!
ellen, quinn
Quinn & Ellen invited me to head into the kitchen and get myself acquinted with...
...the make-yer-own-pizza fixins bar!
ellen
While our pizzas cooked, we got our arts and crafts on!
Pizza and crafts.
ellen, quinn
Serious party business!
ellen, hans, me, quinn
A little before midnight we went up onto the roof to bring in the new year with the rest of the city!
The neighbors across the street even treated us to a sort-of-synchronized sparkler dance!
We cheered them on.
Champagne & Psilocybin!
quinn
A little after 2am we decided to hit the streets and do some outdoor exploring.
We found found broken glasses.
me
Party Omen!
quinn
Back at the apartment we had a kitchen dance party...
...and Hans made us Nutella-filled crepes. Fuuuuuu.
Ellen came downstairs from the loft at 6am to laugh at me and Hans for still being wide awake and discussing about whether consciousness precedes matter or succeeds matter. And then she used my own camera to document what I'd been using the arts and crafts supplies to do...
...try to explain the double-slit experiment and how it showed light behave as either a particle or wave depending on how it's measured and what it might mean about consciousness and matter. Other topics I wanted to ask a skeptical person about included whether or not there's a secret space program that uses a next-generation propulsion-system (rockets, ha!) and whether or not Edward Snowden is a real whistler blower or a limited-hangout to advertise the global panopticon. 2014 off to a rock-solid start!
Pew pew!
maddy
Came into the bedroom to find Maddy had made a bed out of a comforter...
maddy
..and only her head was sticking out.

Wednesday, January 1st

ellen, maddy, piper
On the very first morning of 2014, Piper & Edie helped keep Ellen cozy while she waited for...
hans
...Hans to whip up another round of Nutella-filled crepes! Ok, you twisted my arm. I guess I'll have one more!
ellen, maddy, piper
All three!
Before adjourning the party, we played a round of the fantastically-terrible BeanBoozle! You spin a spinner to determine which color jellybean you eat. But each "color" has 2 different flavors, a good one and and a terrible one! It could be Chocolate Pudding or it could be Dog Food! Buttered Popcorn or Rotten Egg? Peach or BARF? You get the idea. Made us all laugh (and gag) a lot.
Maddy someone managed to start her year off with a yelp when she...
...managed to finally lick her wiggly toenail loose! Ewwww! (It grew back)
dogs ˆ feet ˆ gross ˆ ouch

Meredith helped me transport the hounds crosstown. Happy New Year. 2014, here we go!
