dream dream dream...

i was awoken this morning by a kitten's sandpaper tongue licking my chin. gross. for those at all interested, kenobi has about doubled in size in the two weeks that she's been in my care. it must be the radioactive food...

speaking of radioactive, i dreamt last night that i was working in my mom's office with two of my law school friends, in a file-clerk/typist/bobo-paper-pushing capacity. in the dream, my mom's office was located on the campus of the shipyard that pretty much sustains my hometown.

it was nearing the end of the workday, and all of a sudden we became aware that there was a crazy traffic jam scene outside on the streets. and then everybody came out of their offices wearing oddly glowing sunglasses and took a seat on the grass, the street, the sidewalk -- robot-like bodies sitting indian-style, filling up all the available space. and people in CDC-esque protective suits were running around everywhere. we found a radio to try to find out what was going on, but the radio was no help, so one of my co-workers called the main shipyard phone number and found out that there was some sort of radiation leak in some strange, secretive clinical trial-esque experiment involving estrogen and cancer. and it was causing blindness and dementia and general malaise and everyone had been evacuated from the building so that attempts could be made at containing the leak. we were advised not to leave our building, since it was distinct from the main campus buildings, lest we contaminate ourselves. so we sat in the office, curtains drawn, peering through gaps in the curtains, silent, scared.

after a while, we got a phone call and were told we could safely go home and that all was okay.

weird.
