Wednesday, 10 August 05 :: thoughts as i start the day.

i rode my bike into my office today. i really should have done that yesterday because yesterday i had a bunch of errands to do around town and not once did i have to cart out a table or chair.. today i've got a couple of things to do, but at some point i'll have to go home and get the car to go across town to set up a table and chair and gather signatures for a bit at a local natural foods mart. i really should ride my bike a lot more. i so love doing it, i just don't know why i don't.

all this hoopla about non-smokers getting lung cancer.. i'm sorry, but its simply not news to me. we've been told about second hand smoke all my life.. and air pollution, and and and. good goddess folks, we live terribly toxic, of course we are going to have cellular mutations in our bodies that want to kill us. how about lets all get behind the environmental activists and do something to clean up this mother that we live on, that we couldn't live without. everyone! go join the GREEN party! says the life long, very proud democrat.

its finally a bit chilly here. it was actually cold after i took my bath this morning. a tad annoying, but i'd rather have it chilly after i take my bath than super hot in my office.

dad -- if i come home in september it'll be at the end, not when you are gone.

okay, time to sign signature sheets.

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.
