i've started a sweatshop

is it the marathons of past Project Runways?  or the loudmouth screen print t's i see on teenagers in brooklyn?  or that i can't afford any clothes that i actually want to buy?  i've put the Guitar Hero III down and picked my needle, thread, and strange cactus pattern up.

sheesh, i easily spent an hour in a fabric store today....staring, touching, picking up then putting back then picking up more buttons and putting others back.  buttons!! who thought they'd be so exciting? ..or hard to find.

i wish it was dress weather.  making a flannel jacket for black boots until then.

ps - i found a wildly random american western store on broadway just south of canal st with a few hundred pairs of new cowboy boots.  didn't feel like i'd find that in nyc, but i guess that's the kind of thing out-of-country tourists expect to see, just like i want to see frenchmen in berets one day.

hiya

i've got a blog now. 

after living in new york city and working on blog-publishing software for half a year, i guess i can speak publicly about my day-to-day ruminations, although i guarantee no:

1. wit
2. entries tagged with "awwww"
3. embers to ignite a flame war
4. absence of programming jokes and/or shameless plugs for women in technology

that being said, welcome to nataliepo.com!   yey!
