Edit (Aug 14, 2010): Woah no one noticed that this thing says 2008 instead of 2009

Anyway, about daylight saving time… doesn’t anyone else find it annoying when you have to set the clock an hour back (in autumn), but you’re using a digital clock that doesn’t have an option to go back an hour, so you end up pressing the button 23 times to go forward 23 hours? And it’s even worse when the clock has a 12-hour mode and a 24-hour mode, because then you have to go forward 47 hours to actually go backward 1 hour. Well, I guess at least you get an extra hour to press those buttons all those times. I’m not sure if anyone understands that, but it makes perfect sense to me.
It must be pretty bad to work in a place that sells clocks, and you have to change them all yourself. But then I guess you could just leave it as it is, and let the customers deal with it when they buy one. Anyway, that whole thing about going back an hour doesn’t really apply to this recent clock-changing, since we went forward an hour. I should stop typing now before this becomes an essay about the faults of daylight saving time.
Also, Zazzle is having a $4 off all T-shirts sale (if you use the code “PATTYSHIRT09”), but unfortunately I still haven’t gotten a response from ZUN about being able to use Touhou characters on Zazzle shirts, so there’s only daily flash shirts on there now. Oh well, the sale ends next Tuesday, so maybe if he responds before then, I can put the Touhou shirts back up and people can take advantage of the sale. Or you could just buy daily flash shirts (although the only one I really like is the AWESOME! shirt).
I don’t really understand ripped jeans being sold at stores, or the fact that people actually buy them. Although I don’t think I know anyone who has ever bought ripped jeans (and I don’t know too many people who actually wear ripped jeans, either). Also, I was surprised that there is actually a guide on how to rip your own jeans (probably on tons of other sites on the internet as well). Well okay, maybe not that surprised, but… yeah. I don’t really follow fashion trends, because I’m the kind of person who thinks things like “why would I pay a hundred dollars for an expensive brand-name label when I can just wear some less expensive clothes that feel exactly the same or better?” Except for people who pay more for clothes that are made with environmentally friendly methods and materials or non-sweatshop labor, because I can understand that. I don’t know where I’m going with this, but it’ll probably waste time that I could be using to do other things, so I’ll stop now.
Oh yeah, and also, there’s this, for people who don’t already know.
