[Beretta55]

My list of material goods isn't all that special, just some games and anime I can't get because I'm frequently poor.

Going to stay that way for a while too, since I really can't get a job yet I'm not opposed to getting one; my school comes first and takes most of my time. So I get money by doing various odd jobs, which never pay as much. At least not enough to cover new games that are sixty dollars plus tax or hundred dollars and beyond anime box sets.

But... I don't think that's to be considered as "material". Or are you talking about the organ?

[Faile]

I think that it must be in lieu of anything material. You can tell I was miserable when I got in last night! Very Morrissey.

Misery is a great thing. It keeps you with your feets on the ground... somehow.

Misery loves co.

I've been looking lately for the Adidas' limited edition "I love tokyo's" , they used to have them everywhere I even had them in my hands in Lisbon. But of course I thought I'll get them when I'm back Amsterdam....all sold out.
That's just typical can't decide to buy them and when I've decided it's too late...it saves my a lot of money though...

PS I thought I'd chip this in in case this really turns out a miracle thread.

The material things I can't have now is a villa with a nice view of beach.

Live through this...

On a lighter - well not really - note... I can't have a decent DVD burner. I have this sucker now, that came with the PC, and I really hate it. It's driving me mad. Not only it can't burn anything, but everytime I try, it makes everything crash, and it does odd noises, like someone is trying to make an atomic bomb expolode from the inside.

Aren't they amazing, these CD/DVD writers? They never work properly, mainly because of software and OS issues.

I want this watch, but it's a men's watch, and it's too big for me. It's so cool, reminds me of all these robots anime from the 70's!

TokyoFlash is a great site to buy unique watches from Japan. Back in my dressing-like-a-skateboarder days (yes, I was a poser, lol) before having to convert back to being a girl, I used to wear men's watches and I had a couple of TokyoFlash ones. My sister had this and we both bought this. But they broke pretty easily...or maybe we were rough...hmmm.

Oh wow meryl! You were the skateboarder type? Those are weird watches. Is it easy to tell the time with one of them? I think they're more to impress others than to actually use them. Some are nice, but I wouldn't like to wear one I think

Don't scare me! Tell me the truth before I waste my money! Not that I'm going to buy it for the present moment, but I can't tell when my hands will start itching and before I will know it, I will click on some "Buy it now" button in some crazy site! Don't they have a warranty, anyway? Are they really so easy to break? Like... what you can do and cannot do while you have it on? Can you wash hands and do other banal actions? I wouldn't want it to break THAT easily!

Yes, I loved men's clothing back then (cargo pants, Van shoes, huge t-shirts, etc.) but sadly I never learned how to skateboard. The watches were a bit difficult to tell time at first but once you figure it out, it's really easy. Only a few puzzling ones (like the Jekyll and Hyde watch) came with a 'how-to-read' manual. But I agree: some of the watches seem solely for visual purposes only.

Don't worry, the watches aren't that fragile! Yes, you can perfom everyday tasks but anything that requires a bit more action would probably damage it. However, instead of the watch breaking into bits, the time movement started acting erratically: when it was 7 o' clock, it'd say it was 1 or something like that. I think our watches broke easily only because we worked in the restaurant and the work was very rough; we were constantly smashing our arms against tables, chairs, etc. and all the movement probably caused the problems. ^^;;;

I see. Now the only problem is about dimensions. Their site mentions a maximum wrist size but not a minimum, and I know usually watches are too big and I have to have them adjusted. In this case I guess it's impossible, so I'm curious to know if they will reply if I'm going to ask them expressing my concerns
