Here’s my desk at work. The screen is censored, for obvious reasons. Check out my little 1.5 g aquarium to the left. Super cute. There’s a betta in it named Betamax.

Kink came in number two for sex-positive press: http://www.sexies.org/news/winners08.html

This is *hilarious*: http://www.thewebsiteisdown.com/salesguy.html

We won ‘best retro sport league.’ What a funny category. But I met a guy who plays ‘vintage baseball,’ so I guess it’s a real contest: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/bestof/best_retro_sports_league/BestOfAward?oid=777037

I’m going to write content for this company…

My assignment is the 30 page fictional diary of a teenage girl named Eva. Strange coincidence, considering…

I’m excited.

 We have an email list at work that is non-work-related. Today, this was posted.

Stick your finger in a socket.

1.) I really love the series “Weeds.”

2.) It’s really hard to commute, work full time, and make it to derby. (I’m flaking again tonight.)

3.) I got an amazing new camera! Photos forthcoming, I’m sure. I can actually use it to make large prints. Finally!!!

4.) Still <3 working at kink.com.

5.) Going to Eugene, Oregon tomorrow to see my baby brother graduate from college!

6.) Iowa is flooding. Worried for my friends there.

7.) This is way too cute. Made me tear up.

8.) This is smart and fun. Playing with censorship.

*Really* weird to get paid to look at porn.

It does get long after you’ve pumped out 24 static banners and 1 dynamic.

But… it’s awesome.

I’m wearing roller skates tomorrow.

Katherine sent me this link. It’s a web cam view of the building where Intermedia lived when I was in Iowa. Apparently, you can watch in real time as it is dismembered. A little sad.

Funny, working at Kink feels a bit familiar… as though Intermedia got me ready for it– both are old strange buildings where if you are to wander around you come upon crazy installations involving sets, lighting, video. Eh, slightly different purpose.

Kink should have Open House!

First day of work… went great. And I got to leave super early because my computer is not yet equipped with the right programs.

I <3 kink.com.

Got hired by kink.com as a graphic designer. I start next Tuesday!

Yay!!!
