****SYSTEM DOWN*****

My video card decided it didn't care much for working and fried itself. This prevents me from anything... well... I want to do so shit.

A new Job, A new land, A new Life.

The company of question, Rhythm & Hues. A Academy Award winning visual effects studio. Amongst their many works is Narnia, The Golden Compass, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and Garfield.

Masterpiece.

My conservative estimates put the journey to 5 days. That after whittling down and packaging all the crap which I could convince myself I would need.
