My watch is melting.
The red markings indicate the LCD failure, but that’s been around for a while. Those particular black bars no longer activate meaning that I am incapable of distinguishing between 3:00, 8:00 or 9:00. 5:00 and 6:00 are also ambiguous. I think I knocked the thing too hard while making sandwiches.
It’s dissolving because I got acetone on it at ochem lab on Monday while I was cleaning. I look at it later. at I find out that it went all soluble on me. The text came off of the light button, which itself has fused to the main housing rendering it inoperable.
It’s not a big deal; hell, it’s the reason I don’t wear my stainless steel watch to lab. I mean, the watch was $9. Part of me actually wants to continue the process to eventually get the watch to look like the Terminator at the end of the second movie. You know, like exposed internal parts with half the face missing. Then I could carve “NO FATE” into the wristband.
(Nitpickers: I know that eroding under acetone would unambiguously be a dissolution and not a phase change, but this is the only vestigial remnant of an otherwise unworkable Salvador Dali reference. So get off my back. Jeez.)
and you unwittingly ignore the cries of your watch acetone slowly eroding it as it screams “oh what a world.”
on the bright side, did the color change too or is that the lighting? it reminds me of the kind of coloring from the characters in Beast Wars.
but if your watch does happen to be sentient, with you’re luck it’d probably be a decepticon. Good luck with that!
*your watch, acetone
*your luck
grammer fail
The lighting was different. Considering the archaic lighting in my dorm room, I usually use natural window light, which varies, apparently. The watch doesn’t have any fancy coloring.
As long as you’re criticizing your own grammar, I’ll point out that you also fail at (but aren’t necessarily limited to fail of) capitalization, comma separation of adverbial clauses, and misspelling the word “grammar”. However, I commend you for correctly spelling, “Decepticon”.
Tommy, I feel as though I have failed you in buying you that watch.
