Oh come on now
PJS because I have to vent:
So I'm looking for a new black watch. I currently own four watches, and the black one is a bracelet-type watch that I still love, but it's all stretched out, and frankly, I'm sick of it twisting around all the time. It's annoying. I want a new one. So I've been scouring the `Net all week while I was recooperating to try and find a new one. Watches are one of the few things I will actually splurge on, cuz I consider them a good investment--therefore I'll pay up to $200 if it's worth it. Yes, really. Yes, REALLY. Can I finish my story? Thank you, how kind. Ahem.
So most of you know how damn picky I am about wanting to own things that are unique. I thought I found the perfect new watch. You can see it here if you'd like. It's a sundial watch. How COOL, I thought--at first, anyway. Then I looked closer and started to wonder if it wasn't a watch that just happened to look like a sundial, but was rather an actual, factual sundial. So I wrote the good people at Fossil, and they sent me back some generic "thank you for asking about our products! While you're waiting for a response, check out our other watches here..." message. I didn't get a real reply for nearly a week. And yes, it turns out, the watch is an actual sundial. That's just...stupid. Think about it: in order for the thing to work, you have to go outside, find north, FACE north, and look at the shadow for the aproximate time. That means you can't use it at night, you can't use it indoors (because florescent sunshine isn't the same as real sunshine), and basically, unless you work outside all day long, YOU CAN'T USE THE FRELLING WATCH AT ALL. What a waste. I honestly thought when I saw it that they just made it LOOK like a sundial, but it would still tell time like a regular watch somehow. Oh Jen, you expect FAR too much from the world. ::sighs, comforts self::
So I'm still looking for a cool watch. I may have to take a trip down to State Street sometime this week, cuz I've had a lot of luck with watches there in the past. Guess we'll see. Lemme know if you see something that's very Me, s'alright?
In other almost-news, my car got stuck in the where-the-hell-did-that-come-from-snow when I went to anteka's place to drop off promised cookies. She was impressed I had a shovel in my car. I was impressed that she and her neighbor helped me push the car (after I freed the stuck wheel) out of the drift. I don't think her neighbor was impressed by anything. So it goes.
I think I need some hot chocky now. Yup yup.
