I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Why is it getting a new watch battery is such an ordeal.

It doesn't have to be. I love my little watch store. It's near the corner of Artesia and Hawthorne in Redondo Beach. I bring them my watch and they change out the battery for me and I swear they don't charge more than the cost of the battery.

Why is it getting a new watch battery is such an ordeal. I've actually purchased a new watch in lieu of changing the battery before. My current watch has had a bum battery for over 18 months and I finally just had it replaced for a mere $8.52.

I KNOW! I've been carrying my sports watch around in my bag for months and months and haven't managed to get a new battery yet.

I had this same problem trying to get my mother's watch battery replaced. My dad and I took it to three different places before we found a place that could get the back off. And this isn't some fancy, unusual watch, it's a 20 year old Seiko.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Narnia: Prince Caspian is also opening next month.

I have to say, I just had a great experience with my watch. I yelped it and found a place near work. It took him 3 minutes to do the whole thing and it was cheap.

For me, it's just finding a place that seems so overwhelming. My watch is neither unusual nor fancy.

I'm just lazy.

Also my problem! Plus I think I'd really have to go to the mall to get it done.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like Batteries Plus for watch batteries. It's easy and cheap but I still end up waiting months to replace a dead one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I probably over-pay, but work is right by the diamond district so I go to a watch guy there.

There's a jewelry store right across the street from work, and I always get my watchband replaced at the same time as the battery, so I feel slightly less ripped off.
