My boyfriend is tactless. In-your-face tactless.

Me: I hope you don't mind that I'm sharing your present with the rest because it's really quite expensive. I do have something else for you though.

Pear: Nah, it's okay. I'll even be fine with another figurine (I made him one last year).

Me: What do you mean "even". Why don't you like it?

Pear: Because it's useless; cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and takes up one eighth of my cabinet space.

Me: Huh... :(

I was crushed. For this, I think I'll make him a figurine every year. He's not gonna insult my sincerity and get away with it (or in this case, without it)!



Spotted another kick-ass Seiko chrono today. It has an oblong dial and black leather strap, and it costs around $450. It was significantly cheaper than the rest of the watches I've been eyeing at, so I bought it on the spot. Yeah, I wish.
