Friday, 30 July 04 :: this and that.

my life, so exciting..

didn't get much done today. though maybe it looks like it? i might actually get the thing up north going that needs to be gotten done at last minute. wouldn't that be exciting? i fell dead in my tracks about getting it going when no one returned my calls and then after a hit of diet coke caffiene i got some better ideas.. and one actually worked.. sorta. another idea came through but it was essientally the same idea as the caffiene inspired idea. THE POINT IS.. i sat and said 'gollee brooke, you sure aren't being a go-getter.. sitting on your butt like this' so i got off it and moved forward.

but i still haven't gotten the project done that i was awake first thing this morning for :P gotta get that done tommorrow. got a list of people to call already tommorrow. gotta gotta gotta.

but i did further the cheese exursion with the mama cat and her babies.. i had to take a call and i left my cheese on the step, they proceeded to knaw (is that a word??) on half of the block, so they got it :P.. luckily iv'e got some freezer-burned chicken i'm not going to eat that i'll cook up for them. it'll be better for their digestive tracks.

what else? i made a fit about going and tabling at pride.. 'i am not going to table alone. i did that last year, and it was lonely.. and awful. i won't do it again. i'll go help r set up and p if she tables, but the queers, well, i'm not the most popular person with them anymore.. and besides, this whole 'we wanna get married crap' might just make me want to kick some chins if i hear it too much'.. k was sympathetic and i am going to go table but not alone.

what else? our campaign co-manager who doesn't know me just sent me an email 'you are awesome' ahshahahaha i know, i know.. but just wait till you hear what i HAVEN'T done. blech. but luckily co-manager c says 'you shouldn't go through all that stuff, you should call some other folks so they can help you with that stuff.. folks who know the issues better. you don't want to have to spend time doing that if you don't have too.' yeah c. i'm going to pick is brain in the morning about who i should contact about what issues.

what else? MY DSL.. I WANT IT NOW. i'm counting the days. monday they said. GODDESS, IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH. how did i go THIS long??

long weekend. gotta go to the rural area EARLY on saturday. then a festival saturday evening.. then pride. then monday i've got breakfast with a friend, a possible afternoon meeting, and an evening meeting.

'night.

ps. my ma is now back in the states, where she should be. and have i mentioned that my nephew is the cutest baby alive?? that is until i pop out or adopt my own, someday :)

cancer sucks

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.
