back in sioux center

i was going to say home...but it's not really home. or is it? garden state has this to say about home: strike that, about family:

A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

(it's about home too...)

so i guess i have arrived here. I'm sortof working. what i mean is that i don't really have direction to go on the philosophy stuff yet, so i'm meeting with henderson today to discuss the future of this project.

i'm also finding other work oppurtunities. things i didn't even plan on. a video project of a speech, and a archiving of a lot of old photographs. (4000) so, i guess i'll be keeping busy and making the money.

for the geeks out there, i'm copy about 270 gig from the computer's internal hard drives to the external 320 gig hard drive that i bought for dr. henderson last week. it says it's going to take, about 9 more hours. so, that's taking some serious time. it's good though. it means we can be free of this one machine if we have to be.

also for you geeks out there, the new ipod nano. how about that? huh?. i expect that is what the big smart people at apple want me to write. they want me to rant and rave about how small it is and how awesome it looks. well, i say, what the crap. ok, yea it's small, 1.5" by 3.5" but i spend fifty more bucks and i get 30 gig. that's like 26gig for 50 dollars. i'm not sure that losing a little depth and width is worth it. but hey, it'll play music for three days straight! woohoo!

[if you want to buy me an ipod, i'll take it. i'm not picky--whether it's a shuffle, or nano, or color or not. i'll take it.]

[i may already own an ipod, but it's really old, and full. that's right, i have a five gig ipod and it's full.]

enough of the geeky talk. i like music. and i purchased a few new albums on my journey to canada, ontario, hamilton. the new pornographers--twin cinema, and sufjan stevens--seven swans. i like them both. i would say seven swans is the more favorite right now. and no, i don't feel that dirty writing new pornographers, although i used to, a little.

whel. that's that i guess.

me and jasmine have been talking about when to move. like set a date, if we don't have jobs, just move. i won't tell you the date, because we haven't decided yet.

[[[edits, ok, so it's 20 gig for 299, but c'mon people, that's still 16 more gigs, like 4,000 songs for 50 bucks. and, i'm copying about 170-180 gig, not 270, it'll still be another 6.5 hours...but you know apple... their estimates are always high...]]]
