call of the orient

jonny is on his way back to macau, susan wants to too, i'm kind of tempted, but have a lot of things going on here that maybe i shouldn't leave, so it might be good if they don't ask me. I'm enjoying making stuff and a liking getting more serious about it, the thing that pleases me about jewelling as opposed to art is that if you have a good idea you can keep repeating it as long as people want it and it's fine to make stuff that is just pretty and nothing else. i went out and found myself press-ganged onto the pirate ship of drunkeness again; boarding gallery openings, looting the dumpling house, dancing jigs to motown soul at cherry. All like a bad headachy dream this morning. I gave kate her polar bear today, she was happy, we walked in the garden of contemplation [an actual place, not a cheesy metaphor].
called real estate about shop. susan is very excited by the idea, but if she goes to macau for 3 months then it might not happen. that would be ok too, i suppose.
