Even though cell phones and quartz watches are way more accurate than a mechanical watch, I'm still fascinated by this marvel of engineering that sits on your wrist (or for me, in my pocket). This is a detailed, interactive article showing how a mechanical watch works. #watchrepair #pocketwatch

I fell for this, back when I was in junior high. If I recall correctly, after that initial batch of stuff I chose the first album they sent me was Deep Purple which I had no interest in. After explaining to my dad what this thing was, he just went ahead and canceled it (and I was okay with that).

Final Fantasy X was the first Final Fantasy game I ever played, and it holds a special place in my heart because I was living in Japan at the time and I had the International edition, which was in English. The soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu is really incredible - my 2nd favorite game soundtrack.
