I started a second job here with a company called GoodLiving Tech. it is a small company that does house to house computer repair. I had three calls to do yesterday that had me running all around town and I have some more work with him tomorrow. They are paying me $20/hr on a part time/on-call basis. The owner of the company thinks I am great there.

Basically the company has been around for a few years – there was him and 3 other part time technicians. He did a large marketing push this last week, and all but hired me on the spot. I seemed to prove myself to him so well that the only reason he is hiring another tech is to cover for me when I head out to Edmonton in January.

Overall, I think that I have a really good shot with this company. Things seem to be going really well.

Finished the day with Avatar screening in 3-D.

Avatar is by far one of the most breathtaking films I have seen in ages. Avatar is a visually stunning piece of film, masterfully CGIed, never hitting the uncanny valley. The film is a wonderful mix of science fiction and fantasy; the juxtaposition of a strong military presence -  mecha included, and the race of mystic/hunters of the Na’Vi was beautifully done.

Cameron has created these wonderful creatures and plant life to fill the world. You could feel the life and soul of the forests and creatures. The battles were well choreographed, and engrossing. I left the theater in awe by the beauty of the film and story.

I highly recommend seeing this film.

5/5 stars
