Plus a second controller. Can't believe I got a hold of one soo fast!
 
Comics, both digital and physical. Dead Beats 2: London Calling is a music-themed horror anthology. It’s the second volume, both were funded on Kickstarter. I photographed both volumes together, but it’s the volume on the right that is the new one.

My Galaxy S7 kept waking me up one night rebooting over and over, and never successfully started up. Time for a new phone.

Galaxy S20FE 5G.

These multi-lens cameras on the new phones are pretty slick. I can go .5x for ultra-wide, all the way up to 30x, and it's acceptable picture quality, not just a 320x200 field of pixels.

Also 128GB is way better than 32!

I've seen over 2Gb/s download on 5G, as well.

Doesn't have a headset jack, so I had to bite the bullet and go BT, finally. (Welcome to the 21st Century, old guy!) Picked up these earbuds at Sam's as an impulse buy when I was in there the other day. Comfy, decent sound, although not great bass for music. Calls work well, and people say I sound fine with them, no "He's using a headset" sound.

There should be a thread of things you saw and didn't purchase. On that visit to Sam's, I found... canned wine! Rosé in a can!!! For about 5 bucks a can. :yuck:🤮

Going to berlin for the weekend and bought some tickets for the Opera (lasts 3h30m). Will be my first time. I love to watch plays at the theater but opera was not very popular in Portugal.

Also bought the reservation for 2 nights at the hotel and the train tickets from Hamburg (way better than going by car).


Edit: this has been sold out so today at 10am I tried my luck at the local Apple store and I got it.

13Pro 128Gb (didn't want to wait for the 256gb). My current phone is the soze pf the Pro Max but I wanted something smaller. Also my first iPhone.

New t-shirt from Switzerland based music label We Release Whatever The ****k We Want Records or WRWTFWW for short.

As you can see from the text it’s a depiction of Ryo Fukui, who was an amazing Jazz Pianist from Japan. Done in the style of Peanuts.

Our latest computer upgrade at work switched us from desktops to laptops. I've been just carrying it back and forth from the office, but after a few close calls I figured it would be safer to just get a laptop bag. We are on our own for bags so I bought the cheapest bag I could find on Amazon that could fit a 17.3 inch laptop. Everybody has black, so I opted for gray.

I’m cutting back on the old reprints temporarily while I catch up with bills. Issue 9 of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is the first issue since August 2017. That’s kind of a big hiatus.

No more white PS5... soon.

This vinyl really is stunning. Not sure I'll use them yet but the pictures don't do it justice at all.

Edit: Much better :cool:, and very easy to do 👍

Edit 2: Ended up trying the vinyl on. If I had my time again I would have gone with the blue pattern similar to this one just for when the PS5 fires up with the pulsing blue light.
