Seiko 5 Sports Automatic Watch, snk033.

I had been looking for a nice affordable automatic watch for some time. I had decided on a blue faced one that had luminous hash markers at the hours. My mom got me this one, with a silver tone face and luminous dots above these shiny-metal hash marks. While possibly only slightly less functional, it is WAY classier-looking. I'm thrilled.

OH, and this movement is seiko's "workhorse," in that it's very durable, but can be regulated (with some luck) to within +1 second per day, which is AMAZING accuracy for a value automatic watch. WOOOOOT!

And it has a rotating bezel, for those times I get bored and have noting better to do!

EDIT: made the pics thumbnails

Let's see...I got a page out at 9:30pm on Christmas Eve, got home at 5:15am Christmas Morning, about 20-minute nap, then kid decends to rush the tree. After that, in-laws come over for the 'traditional' breakfast, then more shredding of wrapping paper. An hour to get cleaned up, then over to my parents for Christmas dinner.

SOMEwhere in all that my dad got me a whole new computer, but really, it's all just a blur...

Isn't that an old proverb of some sort? "If thine enemy has wronged thee, buy each of his children a drum..."

I remember another one, though, that may help -- "there was a child in a village who had a toy drum, and made so much noise with it that it near drove everyone mad. But if they tried taking the drum away the child threw such a tantrum that it just made things worse, and so they had to return it. One day, a wise man came to the village. He watched the child play with the drum for a bit, and then turned to the kid and asked: "I wonder what's inside?...""

My sister purposely one year bought my kid a game involving shooting marbles at lethal speeds, flashing lights that could send one into seizure, emitted loud booming noises designed to make dogs @#(! themselves, and the topper was these little things that were meant to be impaled into ones foot after your child leaves it on the carpet. We could find no actual purpose for them in the game. She laughed her evil laugh and I told her I'd get her back. (She had no kids of her own at the time)

The electronic drum set for my nephew was for his third Xmas, specifically modified to always play at the loudest setting by yours truly. I strongly iencouraged him to play the drums cause "Mommy and Daddy will love it." Oh I also bought him jacks, toy soldiers, toys/things who's only purpose is to be annoying (like the hula santa and the bass that sings etc). The best part is the other side of the family (they are a little slooow) thought my nephew loves those annoying kinds of toys and buy them for him exclusively now.

She finally asked me to stop (she has been a good sport about it btw, and sends one of the more annoying toys to my Mom and Dad's now and then to pass on the fun.) when I got him an electronic quiz book that asks question about the Presidents (he had a thing about Presidents for a bit) in this booming annoying voiceand plays long annoying noises when you get the answers right. The poor dear "played" it 50 times in two days with him.

I bought myself a 360. Paycheck wasn't that big so I had to settle with a 360 arcade and throw the rest down for gas and insurance
