So now both my ipod and my watch are broken.

I had a nice Smith & Wessun watch. I grabbed it at an Army/Navy dealer. I loved it because you could switch out the bands to match your gear and it was supposed to be tough as nails. Turns out it's not as tough as my bathroom tile:

Bathroom Tile - 1
Watches - 0

No matter. I was looking for a new watch anyway, unannounced,of course, to my dear wife who shudders at my spending trends. I've now got a fetish for something two options on completely different sides of the spectrum. I love the old-school look of casio digital watches. Spartan in it's flair, plebeian in it's sensibilities, it strikes a chord with me somehow. I have no idea why. There isn't any way to explain it except that I'm a contrarian by nature and if bling is in, this is the antithesis of bling- a solid state reminder of 20th century pragmatism.
In stark contrast I present to you a toy that has struck my fancy: TOYWATCH USA. Proudly displayed on the homepage of TOYWATCH is a badge indicating that the brand is one of Oprah's favorite things. Lol. WOW. I guess my taste is official then, right? They have a new line of some very loud neon watches, but I'm drawn to a more dull disposition- something in tune with my cyncial, cloudy-day comportment.

I could get both, of course. The Casio is so affordable it's almost a crime not to cop it. The TOYWATCH is another matter. Tipping the scales at around $400, I don't know if this is a statement I want to make. I'm not much for trendy looks, but...

Bah. I'm so bummed about my iPOD that I'm not thinking clearly. I'm broke as hell. What could I be thinking about?
