Reflection

It started just looking at random pretties. The teapot was still there. I still wanted it. Went looking for asian teapots on a search. Found an 'Asian kitchen' store.

I must have went sparkly over a good 100 things.

Goddamnit, I miss Chinatown runs... T_T

The pottery & the chopsticks just make me go <3 I really wish there was one of those stores like the place that had the pottery basement that I got my cheepy tea set at. Like Pearl River. I loved going and looking at all the neat Asian stuff and I wanted to buy so much of it...

Maybe this summer... I'll try saving up and not buying much of anything and maybe this summer we can do a Chinatown run and get some things.

Cause goddamnit, I miss it. I miss the touch of Asia in all the New Paltz stores. I think thats part why I keep going <3 at the New Paltz store in Rutland.

I don;t think it's worth LIVING near, as we only went once a year anyway, but...

I'd like... to start up the once a year NYC run again. I miss Book Off, I miss Chinatown, the pastry shop on the Edge of Little Italy and the bakery with those red bean buns....

All the stuff that was part why I went for Asian studies. It wasn't just the anime.

I really want a new tea set. But I think it just might be a symptom of something more...

Eco says one thing, Asian says another, tug of war. Just a chip, but a chip is bad, shouldn't waste, but I want a quality set...

Come Febuary, I'll have work. I should go over budgeting and find out if that can all be set aside for that... or if we'll need it for summer. *sighs*

*wistful wanting*
