Monday, 27 December 04 :: its late, i'm tired

i'm up later than i wanted to doing research for a monthly column i'm helping with. my duty is human rights stuff and the queer community. i'm to dig up that needle in a haystack kind of news. the kind of news i've not been reading about lately because its all so depressing and hopeless and all that....

kinda like my sex life. and my dating life.

hahahahahahaha

in good news, from the corvallis gazette: portland may pull out of fbi terrorism task force. kaelin would be so happy at this news. this was one of his passions, getting people to understand what the jttf is and what portland had to do with it. now its coming true. i hope it comes to fruition!

in other news, i've been watching the coverage of the tsunami's and earthquakes.. i called friends of mine who have ties to india, i'm hoping to be able to donate something or some $$ to it.. these are poor countries, so much more poor than we are.. and to come days after our glutton fest, well.. i should be ashamed at how much i enjoy buying, i should think carefully.. i should do a lot of stuff, but if there's something i can send there, i will. there is a fairly significant indian population here, there is probably something happening as far as sending things there.

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.
