b is for brooke. who tried to go see bell hooks, but bell was sold out.. so brooke when shopping for bras for her new boobs. and when brooke tried the new boob bras on, she discovered that her new boobs are b's. yes, new boob b bras for brooke who didn't get to see bell.

and a quick thought.

wtf is this obsession with underwire bras?? i don't think i wore one till i was around 25, and then a couple of years later i simply switched to champion sports bras with my dd's.. and now, with these b cups -- i guess i didn't realize the obsession with underwire. the women on the br support board i frequent are actually saying their plastic surgeon's are telling them to wear underwire bras.

*sigh*

i'm going to have a talk with my friend who goes to my ps appointments with me, and if he brings it up, me wearing an underwire bra, i need her to back me up in NOT wearing one. i only wore one of those painful fuckers for a couple of years with the dd's, and i'm simply not going to wear one with the b's.

good goddess.. patriarchy rearing its head. good goddess.

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.
