i've been sick.
everyone's been sick.
some people say it's the high pollen count.



i've never had allergies.








the other day i had a sharp sore throat. then the next day i was super tired. then the next day i was raspy, and it was like i had a runny nose, but coming out of my eyes instead.
it was really gross. good thing i was assistant teaching that day for a lecture about the performance artist Orlan. She achieved much media attention in the early 90's with her broadcasted plastic surgery footage, but lately she's been getting quite a bit of film work in europe.
her lecture and the deline of my physical being seemd to be thematically tied together somehow.
