haha- thanks daost. i like the office avatar.

i guess it's hard for us to say what we're looking for in terms of price, since xirax wouldn't know his income until he finds work. i have some income through york, and would probably get a part time job, but might not really be as useful. i would guess we might be in the $900/month range for a 2 bedroom apartment...?
xirax has a car, but i don't, so i think we'd be hoping for something where i can use public transit, but i don't mind a long commute. we like the subway over buses, although i know i would need to buss to york, so that's no big thing. i am excited to go out dancing, out to eat, whatever. but i think i maybe need to strike a balance with being in the middle of all the action, because i'm not used to being in a really big city. i'm pretty open to a variety of locations, though. i'm mainly concerned that i might end up in some sort of awful neighborhood without realizing.
and xirax is looking for linux-related work, and/or system administration/networking jobs. being from pei, he's done a lot of varied work with computers, because there aren't a lot of jobs available here, but i think that works to his advantage because it shows he's really flexible. he's only 24, and so has about 5 years experience, having worked through school. he knows there are a lot more jobs in toronto in his field, but isn't sure of the competition vs. demand.
oh, and xirax just mentioned to me: maybe another thing would be a high south-facing building...something that could see the lake
he's wanting to see if we can't pick up hdtv from buffalo, i guess.

thanks for all the help, folks. it's so much more meaningful to hear from you all, rather than to hear about things from people trying to sell things or whatever.
