the abstract: i'm brooke - a blogger since election day of 2000, keeping track of the various phases of my life. my previous phase? i was a peace and justice activist in eugene, oregon, my current phase? being a phd student in utah. these are my adventures and neurotic musings as i move through this process, in this place. expand the abstract? go to the about page. you can also read more of my writing at red room.

The time has come, the Walrus said. Perhaps things will become worse and then better. Perhaps there’s a small god up in heaven
readying herself for us. Another world is not only possible, she’s
on her way. Maybe many of us won’t be here to greet her, but on a
quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing.
~ Arundhati Roy
