night owls

tonight marks my first night on the official "night beat." i'm here in my corner, the copy editors doing their thing over on the other side of the newsroom, my editor still diligently working away. otherwise, it feels as if the building is ours ... while i know there are still people working hard (or hardly working) within the four floors of office space, it feels as if i'm one of a skeleton crew waiting for the next bit of news to break.

head still hurts. i've resigned myself to the fact that it will ache until fall asleep tonight. still pissed off about it, though. not that it does any good.

also pissed off that i left the dvd i'd purchased in southern vermont at the parentals' place. in my continuing trend of watching movies with some form of "on location" theme, i bought "brokedown palace." it was on sale and i remember liking it when i saw it first. but that was also during the phase in which i wanted to be claire danes.

wait a minute. i still want to be claire danes. which means i'll still like the flick. good deal.
