my ten dollar, bought-from-a-random-american-mall, digital watch is approaching the end of its life, and browsing for a new one yesterday was a sad experience, for all the usual reasons. all the really nice swatches and fossils are in the 150-200 range, and while that's not obscenely expensive it's not an amount of money i want to put towards something like that right now. grr. i hate wanting things. will go and distract self with fried food.
