On phones
Quickly… Galaxy S8/S8+ and HTC U11 are out. Dara got herself an S8+. Long screens—started by LG—are probably going to be the trend.
I got to use mobile data at last! It was a matter of setting the globe prepaid APN correctly.
No more Sony Compact phones…or no more mid-range Sony Compact phones like the X Compact. 4th quarter Premium Product announcement/releases from Sony will keep me hoping for the latter. I’m not yet ready for a bigger phone.
On TV Shows
Iron Fist complete. Agents of SHEILD got interesting and I’m catching up. Big Bang Theory finale was WOW. Flash and Arrow built up to good finales. I have yet to see the second part of the 2-part finale of Supergirl—I’m ok with it so far. All-in-all, the DC TV shows gave me good “TV” times. I’m not sure though if I’ll celebrate with action figures. Restraining myself. Attack on Titan is still pending on my watch list.
Transformers
Cash constraints are keeping me from getting Megatron and I think that’s a good thing. I’m rethinking the Generations Movie poster after successfully posing Ultra Magnus ang finding out the Arcee is still available and Titans Return Blurr looks so much like the cartoon version. i’d still go for the older (released) Kup for the robot mode despite the newer one having a spot-on pickup truck mode. Ultra Magnus poseability is really great, and I kinda hate it because it’s making me think how cool it is to do the poster when I already decided before that I won’t.
Computers
Getting ASUS laptop back was one of the highlights this month. Seagate diskwizard won’t work though because the new drive is a Hitachi. Didn’t bother with restoring anymoer. Mhae and I just used it as a new laptop again.
Getting Ryzen 5 outside bundle was a bigger highlight and successfully completing my upgrade build.
Ryzen office PC request is on it’s way with my old i5’s (the office’s first?) harddrive failing today.
Lego
Speaking of building, it was nice looking getting Lego nostalgia with mhae getting to build her first offcial Lego.
Movies
And tomorrow, we’ll probably see another hero for mhae. Wonder Woman movie looks good. And we’ve started preparing for December with the Star Wars monthly.
