Damn.. if I bought a Pixel 8 Pro before midnight last night from JB HiFi they would've given me a $350 voucher. The only deal I can see now is from Google themselves who would give me a $400 of Google Store credit if I buy one before midnight tonight, but that's only valid for 1 year and obviously you have to buy Google Store stuff and.. eh. Cool if I wanted to buy a Pixel Watch 2 but I don't really wanna.

The other issue is that my current phone (OnePlus 8 Pro) is too well-specced to really justify upgrading. The hardware is still incredible. It's only running 1 version behind of Android OS (13) and I really have no complaints with it. The specs besides the aging Bluetooth version actually hold up compared to these new flagship phones and it's 3 years old. The issue is that in 6 months or so it'll stop getting security updates, which isn't the end of the world.

Maybe I'll fight my impulse purchasing nature and just keep using this thing. I'm also starting to think about whether I want to buy a PS5 when all I really want to play is Spider-Man 2 when it comes out. I don't think there are any other games I want for it that I can't play on my PS4 Pro or PC. Maybe I should just build a new PC and wait for Spider-Man 2 to come out for that. Life is difficult.

So I watch The Shape of Water, it's about Poseidon coming to the mortal world an being loved and loving for who they are, tho I think Eliza might once have been a water being.

Rented a different car today to get to another appointment and a few more errands. It was fully electric with one of those weird knob dials instead of a gear stick, and had that whole e pedal thing as well. Very interesting. I had a few minutes to spare and decided to bulk buy some bonsoy and just so happens it was 20% off (about as good as you can get I think). Win!

But that's it, no more renting cars/carshare for a while... So bloody expensive...

I just gout out of the shower, just in time for the rain to go whoosh.

Sky, you read my mind
