Sorry i've been gone for the past 2 months, but my new apartment doesn't have internet yet...just popping in to say hi since i'm home with my parents for the weekend...
A little about what's been going on. I moved into my new apartment back on Jan. 2, started my job on Jan 10. I was brought in to be a designer (graphics), but i guess things have some what shifted so i'm a 3d animator for products for the company. It's kinda funny because some of the products that i work on doesn't actually exist yet. They give me technical specs or a wooden model that represents what it'll look like and i turn it into 3d so they can use it upcoming "coming soon" brochures...it's fun but stressful because of the deadlines.
About my internet, i was supposed to get cable back 2 weeks into January, but when they started installing it in a couple of the apartments in my area they discovered the cables in 1/2 the apartments couldn't handle the bandwidth, so they have to upgrade all the cables....so it's being worked on. Getting DSL is out of the option. i'm too far from a station to make it fast. DSL price = $30 for 386 kbits, Cable price = $30 for 3 MBits...I can wait for cable.
And about me buying a Mini, it's out of the question. Took one for a test drive, loved how it drove...BUT...interiers is too "plastically", and the engine bay has a great design, but, and this is a HUGE but, if anything goes wrong with the car, you literally need to take the engine and/or supercharger out to be able to get to anything...would be $$$ to fix, oh and alot of plastic bits in the engine bay...great design, but i don't want to deal with it...so back to car shopping for me. I took an S2000 out last weekend and loved it, so maybe we'll see...
So how is everyone else doing?
