Time and EQ, or how to build a Lego watch

I decided to get CJ a Lego watch  for his 26th birthday from Khaye of eshopping.com.ph. When she e-mailed me the design selection, the watches I wanted looked like these:

 

The one on the left is a Classic Bouncing Brick black watch CJ already imagined on his wrist, while the colorful one is the black version of their Chronograph, which is my personal pick. When they arrived 2 weeks ago my face went blank because I didn't imagine they would come in these:

I'm not really the tinkering type and I seriously worried for my EQ. Plus these are choking hazards! My resolution: assemble with a boy. It would be fun to do this together. And if I get happy enough, maybe I can give up the chrono. :) While I wait for our Lego time (and it's taking longer than I expected), I sit and stare at the boxes while listening to KT Tunstall's angsty album, Tiger Suit.

Does it look like I was overly elated when I said that? Try again.

I got a signed KT Tunstall CD from Japan!!! Super thanks to my really good friend, Mark, for remembering. Recently he's watched Sara Bareilles and KT Tunstall perform live in Tokyo. Ikaw na. But then, he said he couldn't give me the signed Sara Bareilles album because he was keeping it for himself. Haha.

So far, I'm diggin' Track 4-Difficulty and Track 11-The Entertainer. Yay for new music to get by! On that note, I want to share these beautiful lines from The Entertainer:

Time

Folds out on itself

Like a never-ending mystery

And I wonder will there ever be enough

Time.
