Thursday, 14 December 06 :: See?!?

from the Eugene Weekly today:
Meanwhile, we're happy to see Sen. Ben Westlund making a graceful transition from Republican to independent to Democrat. Will others follow?

See! Darn democrats of Oregon. I have a Ben Westlund for Governor sticker on the back of my car (right under my Pete Sorenson for Gov). But no.. everyone told me "How can you do that? He's really a republican" BS. See?!? Ben Westlund would have made SUCH a better governor of Oregon than Ted. And YES I voted for Ted in the general. Why? Because I had this stupid idea he might loose. *roll eyes* I should have followed my heart and wrote in Ben. (yes, I love Pete, really, but he lost in the primary and Ben was who I was supporting in the general).

note to self: listen to your gut.

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.
