thirtyeight: t minus 16 days

so, because i have been lazy the past couple of weeks i am madly making earrings and necklaces to give away from christmas. i have now set up 'shop' in my living room in front my tv. in the past, i have had my beading supplies in a guest bedroom on another floor (sans tv), but i am finding i am much more productive in the company of my friends from law & order or whatever else i may be watching.
i have not taken anymore flashy photos of my jewelery, but i am going to have to do some photography before i give everything away. once i have done it, i will be posting some on here and on my picasa web album.
last weekend i was in new york visiting my friend maria with another friend caroline. we did quite a bit in the 40 hours we were there - explored central park, braved the crowds on fifth avenue and around rockefeller center, walked around the village, and wandered around the upper west side. we went to a bar in the village that will forever be my absolute favorite bar in the world. we call it the 'bar-that-shall-not-be-named' in reference to you-know-who from you-know-what (wink wink). i honestly felt like i was in the middle of a harry potter book, which pretty much made it the highlight of the weekend. it felt like a little hole in the wall, but i think it may be quite well known to the locals hipsters.
in a previous post, i mentioned that i was going to make a website. well, i started to do it and got frustrated with the host server. i still have not taken anymore steps towards doing a website, but i will try to in the new year (my first resolution!). i am also going to try to start a flickr album with more or less the same things i have on my picasa album.
