rivervision - since election day of 2000.

Friday, 1 April 05 :: the future governor

i don't have a lot to say today. as of now.

but i've got a campaign meeting this afternoon. it'll be a small one. me and a few others, one of whom is our candidate.

one thing i keep thinking about, as i think about leaving for grad school next fall is.. (and i know, this is really shallow of me)

how cool would it be to be able to say to folks, when pete wins the governor's office - 'i know the governor of oregon. no, i really do. i've been in many a meeting with him, had dinner with him, worked on his campaign. he's a good guy - a little geeky, likes to talk a lot, but really, he's a big heart.

whats in the belly this morning? maybe too much. but i'm tired (who isn't tired on a friday morning, after they've not slept well due to a hurting shoulder?). when i get tired, i get hungry. carrots, pb and j, chocolate, tofu pate, blueberry tea, coffee.

and the ipod? my 25 most played songs.. mary chapin, arlo, john denver, paul simon, 10,000 maniacs, alix olson.

both the food and the ipod = yummy!

-----

i should get back to work.

happy weekend to everyone!

It's cool that you publicly admit to John Denver. I'm a closet fan myself. And Yay! for MCC.

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.
