Sometime last month, Kamran and I had this conversation:
And of course I thought nothing of it, because he always asks me really random, nearly-nonsensical questions all day long while he’s kneedeep in patents and hallucinating bunnies on carnival rides.
But of course he bought me a watch for my birthday! And it is the most wonderful, design-y, chunky watch from the NYC company Nooka:
So now when you read my blog posts, you’ll know that I know that you know I know what time it is.
He also got me a “Deadliest Catch” t-shirt with a picture of the Cornelia Marie on it, and a box of chocolates from Derry Church after reading a review of them. And the best dinner! Swoon! SWOON!
You’re going to be so horrified when you find out what I bought him for his birthday, which is TODAY.
Happy birthday to the last of the famous international playboys!

Ok, maybe I’m just dumb, but is it actually a watch or is it a braclet with some crazy lights on it? I see nothing ‘clock-like’ except the “mon” which could stand for monday but more likely stands for a common jamaican greeting.
OH. Sorry. Nothin’ Jamaican about it; I guess mine has tiny white markings that don’t show up in the photo. The first two vertical lines fill with those fat bars that each represent an hour. Six per line to represent all twelve hours, with the two dots on the far right representing a.m. and p.m. And then the third vertical line fills with those tiny horizontal lines that all represent a minute. You’ll see for yourself next week when I eat pumpkin roll with you.
Also, that name of yours never fails to make me laugh, nearly out loud.
You may know what time it is, but looking at that watch, I can honestly say that I don’t know what time it is. What’s with the bar graph?
Other than that, it’s fabulous and I’m sure it looks great on your wrist!
Also, it may just be me. I honestly had to read the instruction manual to the new fancy toothbrush my hubby brought home last week. Stuff is getting too complicated.
No, it’s not just you. I forgot that there was a time before I’d seen this kind of watch.
Also, I’m pretty sure hundreds of people get shocked in the mouth by their fancy new toothbrushes every day by not reading the instructions. This is assuming that your toothbrush was electric, though; if not, you’re right, that’s sort of sad.
Okay, secretly, I never have any idea whatsoever what time it is, because the thing is impossible to read. But who doesn’t love abstract art?
The first two vertical lines show the hours, represented by those long bars you see. And then the third vertical line has bars for the individual minutes. So it’s, like, 4:45:13 p.m. on that watch. You can’t see it, but in real life, the minutes bar shows some markers like 15, 30, and 45 that really help you.
That is one badass watch and one SUPER badass boyfriend.
JEALOUS.
Thanks, dude! Hope The Guy buys you a similar wedding gift. Or, like, a small island.
Watches are my favorite accessory, but are you sure that is one? It looks rather awesome but I have no idea what’s going on when I look at it.
Kamran remains the cutest ever though, no confusion there.
One of my co-workers swears it’s a fertility monitor. Seems unlikely that my boyfriend who’s in the midst of working full-time AND going to school would want me pregnant, though, right? Unless it’s just to get me to stop complaining about how little he’s home.
The first two vertical lines fill up with bars that each represent one hour. The second line fills up with baby bars that each represent a minute. The two dots off to the side show a.m. and p.m. Toooooootally helpful in time-telling, right?
Also, OMG, I just noticed you updated your blog. TWICE.
I think it’s totally awesome. Abstract art, yes, please. Love it. Happy b-day again! :)
Looking at that watch made my head hurt. I’m glad you explained it. It looks really cool now that I understand how it works. Your man has awesome taste. ^.^
