so after being basically high all day at work today as part of our lovely "beautification" process on campus, wherein they spray-sealed all the sidewalks around avery with a compound that essentially creates massive amounts of aerosolized silicon vapors (read: pretty fucking sure it's carcinogenic) and watching pedestrians walk by during the sealing process and then watching them minutes later stumbling around gagging and wiping their eyes (yeah, it's totally environmentally safe! good work, fuckers!), i came home and spent the rest of the evening trying to forget how many brain cells i'd probably killed just by being in the building with the trapped fumes all day (fortunately brain cell death makes forgetting easier).
then, ten thousand parenthetical ironic comments later, i was walking back from IGA when my vision started to work in small bubbles of wiggly light instead of, you know, the way your eyes are supposed to work. also, my eyes keep randomly watering up for minutes at a time now. and it's been about 45 minutes and i'm still hallucinating/seeing these watery blobs floating around constantly in the periphery of my sight field. i'd like to think it's unconnected to inhaling silicon fumes. but the odds are even. i think.
