Heh, it's party time here in the office. About a third of the staff have dressed up for the holiday, and some of them put *a lot* of effort into their costumes. That, and the company is giving us free pizza for lunch - nothing like a free lunch to make the natives happier.

In other news, my horoscope says: "On Halloween weekend, you'll be the sign everyone wants to sleep with. Surround yourself with people you'd like to see naked. " If only. I'm heading south this weekend to help my mom throw a baby shower. Much as I love 'em, spending the weekend with 1) my family and 2) a group of women, most of whom I'm sure have already had children and who will most likely want to talk about their labor experiences, does not sleeping with/naked opportunities make. Dammit!

And lastly, I made brownies last night. Lots and lots of brownies. The smell of chocolate was overwhelming even when I woke up this morning. I expect that my apartment will still smell like brownies when I get home on Sunday.
