Broken Watch

This was not what I wanted to see this morning when I went to get a cup of tea. It was fine when I put it on after my shower!

You know what this means, right? It means I have to go to... (cue ominous music)... THE MALL. That's where the repair shop is.

Oh, really? Hm.

Which mall has the watch repair shop? Valley Fair? What's left of Valco? (IS anything left of Valco? I haven't been over there in years.)

I have become totally mall-o-phobic over the past few years. If I can't buy it in a single store or over the internet, I won't buy it at all.

If I'm going to a mall with a Sears or Target ... I go into the Sears or Target, and leave without going into the mall.

I'm fine with large numbers of people - I have no problem walking through downtown Chicago or San Francisco during Rush Hour - but I find the majority of people at the mall ... well, annoying.

Of course, I'm the type of geek who doesn't go shopping until something highly specific is needed.

Valley Fair.

As you might imagine, I'm mall-phobic too. Heck, I was mall-phobic when I could walk that kind of distance. People in malls move slowly and erratically and are never looking where they're going. If I have someplace I want to be, and I'm making a good faith effort to get there, the vast mass of human speed bumps can really tip me over the edge.

I have this vision of you and I stalking the halls of Valley Fair; you on your scooter, and me standing shotgun with a marshmallow shooting rifle.
