Monday, 29 October 07 :: roar!

do you hear that ROAR coming from my apartment? i'll betcha you can (my poor downstairs neighbors). know what it is? it's the sound of a girl from the southeast (humid in the summer) and the pac nw (humid in the fall, winter and spring) with her first cold of the 2nd year of living in the desert. oh no, the roar is not my nose being blown over.. and over.. and over (that's just an added bonus). the roar is the sound of not 1, but 2 humidifiers going at full power. btw, each one can fully humidify 1000sq feet in 12 hours. Things should be just ducky in here in just a couple of hours. I may just go get a neti pot just to make sure that the snot doesn't get stuck in my sinuses like quick dry cement like it did last year. Oh no, I've hit the 2nd year wall.. thats enough to deal with. I am not ALSO going to deal with cement nose too.

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.
