My Conondrom of the week...
B/c i have not real drama or issues in my life, such as were to go to grad school or what to do with the rest of my life, i'm forced to make them up. This weeks major life issue MY WATCH. I've warn a watch since sith gread. I love knowing what time it is. AT all times. This means that i do not take my watch off at any time. I like knowing what time it is in the shower or first thing in the morning when i roll out of bed. I'm also special, we all know that, in the way that looking at a normal clock takes me a while to process the time. I have on acation been known to get the time wrong plus or minus and hour. This is a real problem when one prids oneself on being puntual and has to go to class and other events were plus or minus and hr dosnt really cut it. After one such insodent of sitting in an empty classroom for an hour without any of my other classmates I decided that it might be a good idea to swich to ditigal. This created the issue that most digital wrist watches are plastic or that crappy velcro crap that you cant wear in the shower. So i searched and searched and searched and found a metal Phillip Starck Fossil metal digital wrist watch. I LOVE THIS WATCH!!! and have never had it off my person for any real length of time since i got it unless getting the battery changed. Its not a little watch it has some wight to it and my wrist feels odly neacked without it. My watch has been on many diffrent contants and adventures with me it has two time functions so that when i was in england i just pressed up button and new what time it was back home, no mental math for me!! but now my trusty freind is sick... the little lights that make up the numbers have gone out so that a 7 looks excatly like a 1.. while this issue might not be the bigggest deal when you think you have 9 more min and then you look down a sec later to realize you have 2 its a very dishearting feeling. I feel that i am betraying a freind or putting a beloved animal to sleep but i think its time for a new watch. I know what most of you are thinking at this point 1. i'm hungry 2. durn i need to get a life and stop reading this crap 3. its just a watch. Well you try wearing something for 3 years and not get a sentamental attachment... le sigh i guess i should start trolling ebay for a new metal band digital watch... I kinda though about getting one just like it but 1. the only one i found is $169.00 (and i'm poor) 2. it seems a little like cheating on my watch like i can just go out and replace it with the same thing and forget all about it....
