work

When Sinclair ‘shut down’ for the summer, so did my costume shop job. It was a love-hate relationship anyways. I enjoyed working on all of the hakima pants and kimonos and such for ‘Ama and the White Crane’ but gag me for ‘An Experiment with an Air Pump’ those designs just sucked and all I really got to do was sharpen pencils all day long. The designer of this particular show, Air Pump, was not as skilled, talented, visionary, or creative as my boss and the designer of Ama. Therefore Air Pumps designs consisted of, ‘o we will just rent 95% of the show’ and the rest of it I will basically make and it will be shoddy work where you can see where I sewed and it is lumpy and, wait how did you get through graduate school? Anyways… Air Pump was an amazing play where the director wanted to take it edgy and funky while the designer hired on was hesitant and indecisive.

So I am working for a website now as a moderator. Online babysitting. I make sure the kiddies aren’t having cyber sex, uploading raunchy photos, uploading copyrighted material, claiming they are someone else, posting flame, and the list continues. The site is for kids of the ages 13 to 17. Well anyways it has made me soo perverted. I look for sexuality in everything now. I find it. Myself and the other moderators don’t miss a chance to save all the porn pictures and other nasty images the brats upload to provoke the worst “OMG WTF IS THAT” out of each other. I love it.

One downside is that now when I type in aim or emails or whatnot, I sometimes revert to the kids typing, when I think it is hilarious. Most of the kids on the site seem to have invented their own form of l33t speak if you will, their own dialect.
