Short notes about lots of things.
Been way too long to give events the usual level of detail so here's a quick rundown.
Started at my IBM co-op and it's pretty cool so far I guess. Haven't done a lot of real work, mostly the new-hire crap and then welcome to the team set up this environment it's gonna take a while type stuff. It's great to be back though, and pretty fun to be working with Chris again. Three years (and change?) at Marist went pretty well so I see no reason for it to not be good at IBM.
Put the deposit down on the Prius and it arrived today so soon I'll go test drive it to make sure I don't have an obviously defective one and then talk to the dealer about financing. My bank pre-approved me for a decent rate but who knows the dealer might beat it. More on that as the date of purchase gets a little closer (tentative ETA one week).
In about ten minutes we'll be inheriting a new sofa and loveseat from Pyg (he's replacing them with a big leather sectional) so that's exciting. Our current living room setup is functional but the new stuff will be quite a bit comfier.
Oh and everybody knows anyway but holy crap Wii for Christmas! Way way awesome. The games I've got so far (Wii sports of course, Madden 2007, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Rayman's Rabbids) have all been very solid. I played Andrew (Madden on PS2 king) the other day and he took about a quarter to get used to things but then played well (beat me on the last play of the game) and enjoyed it so it officially passes the "still plays how it should" test.
That's about it for now. Some of these things might get more detail later.
