Wednesday, 19 October 05 :: in the middle of a dream

i woke up in the middle of a dream. i hate that.

anyhow.

i gotta get ready for work. holding up two organizations for 3 weeks.. the other didn't know about the other. *sigh* and with everything i got to go through during those 3 weeks. no one died, *and* the organizations still exist. i guess i did something well.

anyhow.

last night was spent at an excellent talk by phyllis bennis of code pink. later last night was spent at cozmic with the more than excellent company of three friends who i don't get to relax with very often, who when i do only solidifies the idea i have that i am a lucky girl to be here in eugene. yes, i am. laughter and seriousness, activism and not activism. we held good conversation and lots of love amongst each other. yes, i am a lucky girl. yes, they are lucky people to have me amongst them. yes, even though i get frustrated with the lack of connection beyond work amongst all of us, when we do finally get to connect it is a beautiful thing. thanks friends, i've missed you. i need lvec, and i need y'all.. sometimes even more than i realize.

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.
