Tuesday, 29 March 05 :: nothing to terribly interesting

last night found me at a meeting of 3 of my other fellow justice not war boards. oh, i think it is safe to say in this spot, we are all very fond of each other. yeah, dig-it, we really are.

we laugh. we laugh a lot. we laugh a lot so, as we put it last night, we plan peace instead of blowing things up. yep, in light of what is happening in this country, you'd think we'd be talking seriously about weather underground-ing it. you'd think we'd be saying such things like bernadine dorhn once said.. "Hello, I'm going to read a declaration of a state of war...within the next 14 days we will attack a symbol or institution of American injustice." but we aren't, we are committed to non-violence. we are committed to doing things like they did in the 60's, but with the revolution mind of the 00's. we build coalitions, yes we do. so, we laugh.

poor folks at world cafe last night.. wonder what they were thinking, as my laugh can be a bit loud, and i swear, my fellow board j, damn, she's just funny.

hopefully today, as i'm going through an expectedly hard meeting this afternoon i'll carry those laughs with me. yes, they'll look at me strangely, but i don't care, i'll apologize and just move on.. but with a big ol' grin on my face 8-D

-----

now its time to throw on some clothes and head out to work.. more fighting with quickbooks. damn! damn! damn! that program.

luckily i've got coffee on my side. ;-D

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.
