So I went without my smartphone for a month basically. No regrets. It was a very productive month. In that time I managed to: 1. Harbour an impressive record collection, including Analogue records by Metallica and Nirvana.
2. Get around in places I had never been around before and familiarise myself with the area.
3. Expand my VHS and DVD collection drastically.
4. Fix my CRT's built in VCR.
5. Hook up a DVD player AND a Freeview box to said CRT to watch TV on.
6. Become more socially confident (still an introvert at heart though!)
I missed my friends, but it was a productive month nonetheless. I'm glad to be back.

I have a CRT now

I think I will upgrade my VHS player to a multi-region one, specifically a PAL + NTSC one. Will just stick with my current one for a while though as it is very solid and built like a tank.

For Christmas I got a... Google Pixel watch that I don't need or plan on using. Tempted to install Linux on it just for the fun of it.

Wayland is genuine unfiltered ass idk why people like it so much. Causes my system to crash just by watching videos.

Merry Christmas lads
