Saturday, 31 December 05 :: in the new year.

i just came from a day of running errands. i took a bunch of books to smith family and got enough $ from them so that i was able to spend too much money on too little yarn at the yarn store. in the end, thats cool, because i got noru yarn, which is some of the very best, non hand spun, yarn ever. (my not so humble opinion) i also got to see an old friend who i don't see much these days, enable wireless at my new office, and drop by value village to get a couple of pairs of new for me pants. a nice day. tonight i think i'm headed out to LVEC for games and dancing in the lodge. an unexpected, but welcomed invite. i was going to sit home and knit, so maybe i'll go out there and knit instead.

anyhow. on to the subject.

i'm not one for the new years this year. but i was over at sandee's place and i do have one thought for you: to all of you, us, we, who have a loved one fighting cancer, or another awful disease, or are yourself fighting cancer, or another awful disease, may the new year bring health, happiness, and see you cancer free - or other awful disease free.

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.
