Thursday, 17 August 06 :: 7 lives

my bedroom window doesn't have a screen on it. so, what did i do? i left the window open tonight. and max walked out, and then slid down the roof and fell down on to the sidewalk. i'm glad i saw it all, i'm glad i was here. i don't know what i would have done if i hadn't been here, and he'd run away. i also don't know what i would have done if he'd been hurt worse than just the skinned and bloody nose he has.

someone is looking down on us. i don't know who. but someone is looking out for him. a few years ago he got a badly infected leg from a poorly placed needle that hit a nerve (or something like that), and now this. he means the world to me this cat. i'm glad he's got 7 more lives to live... he may just go through them all.

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.
