Thursday, 9 December 04 :: yes, its here

i'm now computing wireless in my house. the computer got here at 12.30.. the last hours have been spent setting up the wireless, installing programs, realizng that the firewire -> usb connector for the ipod is NOT usb II, its usb I.. so i have to go to the mac store for usb II, playing with all the various settings, including playing part of a dvd (the weather underground), and on and on. i also realized i need to get a new laptop bag, cause the one i've had for years for the old old old powerbook, my old laptop, my ibook that died last year, is barely big enough for this thing! (15.4") but the ipod connector is FAR more important.

the last 4 hours have also been spent blowing lots of snot out of my nose.. from all parts of my head, including my ears... and when the ears get blown, i get all dizzy and stuff.. goodness..

my little friend t wants to watch whale rider, i told her to wait till my laptop came, so, maybe this weekend we'll watch whale rider on this.. cause the screen isn't that bad..

okay, i gotta eat something, cause my body needs more food than normal cause its working for both me and the cold virus.. you'd think i'd loose some weight with this.. but noo, my body wants junk food in this state! :P ;-D

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
