Frames

 Sue says they make me look Asian and a co-worker told me that she had basically the same pair when she was 8.  I don't know that either of those things are compliments, but I think I like them anyway.

Yesterday I went to New York for the afternoon to look at glasses and hang out with my friend Heather. I impulse bought a pair of new frames from Moscot.  The style of frame is called Yale, so I figured it was pretty much meant to be. 

The most charming and perfectly round old Columbian man named Frank helped me pick them out after making me try on a host of wacky frames and "seeing what happens".  They didn't have my lenses in stock (damn you, you astigmatic eyes), but they're going to ship them to me, hopefully before Thanksgiving.  I also went to Fabulous Fanny's and got a pair of very large round frames that I would describe as being a burnt ashy blonde.  I haven't decided if they make me look like I'm trying too hard to be "ironic" (not my goal) but they were pretty cheap so I figured they're worth a shot.  I need to get lenses put in and then pics will be posted. 

The rest of the evening involved lots of walking around LES (I only JUST figured out what that means.  I'm so not cool), eating the most meat-full sandwich ever at Katz's, HP7pt.1 being sold out and chocolate truffles.  Not too shabby.

I feel like this is a pretty good representation of me trying to meet and connect with people.

Pumpkin

This past week has been one of my worst in recent memory.  Luckily I have some things to look forward to in the near future.  

For Thanksgiving I'm going to be in Philadelphia looking after this

and this

 I love these guys and I'm pretty excited to see them. Additional Thanksgiving day plans involve seeing Andy at some point (because we've seen each other on Thanksgiving for like the past 12 years and now it's a tradition or something like that) and some type of potluck with Ashley and co. where I'm really looking forward to making this:

Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

Along with a few other bits and bobs and possibly a very large quantity of some type of meat.  

I've generally been feeling pretty lonely here and unsure of what to do with myself (aside from copious amounts of baking).  So if you feel like visiting or you have any suggestions, let me know.  

Also, HP7pt1 opened last night and for almost all of the other HP movies I went with a huge group of friends to opening night and it was all a super fun clamorous hullabaloo.  This year, I didn't have any one to go with so I passed on the midnight show.  I can't decide if going to see HP alone as a single girl in her 30's who is also a librarian and has a cat is fine/funny or just the lamest thing ever.
