...clues pointing to that abound...christmas decorations out at lowes and walgreen's...yahoo jabbering on about "black friday" steals i should make myself aware of...and the n y times has been including "style" magazines for "fall and winter fashion" for the well dressed social climber or just social scum...no doubt an electronics issue is forthcoming, but today we are burdened with the watch supplement...tissot, longines, jager-le coultre, gucci,audemars piguet, omega, chopard, and the half naked model wearing the dior men's watch, presumably to call my attention to what i am missing out on by not wearing ( or buying her) one of their fine time pieces ( i have been married for thirty-four years and blondes have never been especially attractive to me...i am a demographic wasteland for advertizers...mutual hatred everywhere...fuck these people...)what i did notice about this expensive bit of glossy advertizing is there's not a single price listed anywhere...zilch...unlike the ads for condos with a view of the manhattan skyline that are keen to advertize their value as a status symbol by boldly proclaiming the price per square foot of this valuable real estate, the watchmakers seem to be subscribing tot he "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it" philosophy of excluding ( or, perhaps enticing ) the proles from taking up the limited counter space at their boutiques...i have had an analog casio that i paid thirty bucks for five years ago and it keeps good time...i have a times "ironman"digital that i beat the crap out of at work...it's about the same age and if you discount some interesting gouges out of the crystal it's fine too...so much for tissot, dior , and hot blondes...i will become increasingly cranky ( come on people that's why you read this ) as the season progresses and my neighbor drags out the million candlepower industrial candy cane decorations that fade the curtains in my front window and disturb the bird with a false sunrise for a month...i am aging and it is enhancing my already formidable reputation as an eccentric weirdo and curmudgeon...i wouldn't be this way if they didn't deserve it...their insistence on extremist holiday behavior obligates me to demand concessions by creating a black hole of non-observance...almost time to watch a clockwork orange.
