the new fishing watch

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.08.06

I bought a new fishing watch for 2200 yen. It's a Casio, like my MDV-106 (Duro), but it's smaller, lighter, less bulky, and better suited to the hazards of fishing. I also ordered a screen protector, because my old fishing watch also had a cheap mineral crystal and it was badly scratched in no time at all - to the point that if wet or under certain oblique lighting I couldn't read the Duro at all.

Casio W-218H

At this point, with four working watches I have to admit I have a watch collection.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little — a movie song here or a TV ad there.
