Tuesday, 31 August 04 :: its been a good day.

yeah. dig it.

so, kerry is an idiot.. but i'm enjoying working with the people working on his campaign in lane county. i am pretty sure that not all of them are as head over heals for him as they appear.

max cat has been oh so loving these days. my old grumpy boy is now a lover boy. and recently he gained a bunch of weight. my former skinny boy is now a fat and happy boy.

smudgie is busy growing up. he's maturing more and more. he is calming down and becoming more and more loyal. i love this. i so love this.

my sense of community here in lane county grows as each opportunity i have opens up for me. each week i seem to add yet another new person to my list of folks that i'd like to invite over for a big ol' potluck. this week, its been not just one, but 2. that rocks, and its only tuesday.

i'm super busy this week. i love that. i love being super busy and not being way discouraged. if these last 2 days are indicative, maybe i'm finally starting to open my wings a bit in this campaign. maybe the powers that be will let me fly on my own some. maybe. i can only hope.

but even if they don't, i've been promised a letter of recommendation.

and when this is all over, when the dust settles some.. i'm going to get to learn how to spin wool, and knit something other than a scarf.

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.
