Watched Bright Young Things tonight. Good movie, despite its departure from Waugh's self-proclaimed "Happy Ending."

Also, I won a battle of wills Wednesday night, breaking our soft-hearted Managing Editor. She's trying to put an end to the traditional Lawrentian all-nighter; I think I'm the only "night person" left on the layout staff, now that our editor in chief has started clocking out early.

Thought a lot about a Halloween costume for this weekend, and to be honest I haven't come up with any good ideas. I'll probably just see what's left at the thrift store tomorrow morning; it's either that or root through Jubb's costume box again.

So here's the scoop for anyone who missed it: Everyone is clearing out for the weekend, either to Madison for the annual holiday pillaging or to Winona for an Ultimate Frisbee tournament. Which means that, to fight the twin demons of boredom and productivity, I'm leaving for the weekend as well.

If all goes as planned, I'll spend Friday night in the Cities and Saturday night in Winona before heading back to Lawrence on Sunday.
