Smith Experience - AJ Evert

My Senior Thesis explores the effects of social media on a culture that behaves as though everyone is the protagonist of his or her own feature film. How many stylized reflections of ourselves must we see before reality and entertainment merge into a single, indistinguishable narrative?

Minor Fiascos, Etc.: Death to Instagram
http://minorfiascos.blogspot.com/2012/10/death-to-instagram.html
Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Thursday, October 18, 2012. This past week my best buddy here in SF had a twinkie little visitor from New York stay free of charge in his studio with him. They'd never before met in person, having only exchanged messages through Grindr while my friend was in New York for a long weekend a month back. Now, this kid wasn't just visiting SF: he's planning on moving here. And this was his trial week. And he spent *all* of it feverishly snapping photos, writing cap...As of...

Minor Fiascos, Etc.: December 2012

Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Thursday, December 6, 2012. Vicki xx From the 12th Floor. Vicki xx and I met on the elevator this morning. One of us dropped a FOB. We weren't sure who had done it - frazzled as we were with our coffee cups, umbrellas, and respective hangovers - and in an overt display of courtesy we both fell to the ground, desperately searching for the little piece of plastic that permitted one of us access to our respective floor of work in this godforsaken building.

Minor Fiascos, Etc.: That Time Again
http://minorfiascos.blogspot.com/2012/11/that-time-again.html
Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Tuesday, November 6, 2012. I've identified a pattern. Every October, I become critical of my life to the point that anything short of working as an Imagineer at Disneyland is unsatisfactory. My kickass apartment, my second-to-none DVD collection, my ragtag group of friends - none of it, no matter how great, seems an appropriate trade-off for working a 9 - 5 desk job on the 19th floor of a corporate-owned skyscraper in SF's Financial District. The reality is - or, rat...

Minor Fiascos, Etc.: Oh the Joys
http://minorfiascos.blogspot.com/2012/10/oh-joys.html
Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The solution is obvious: move to Portland and open a bar. The obstacles are minimal: take a loan from my parents, work my ass off, enjoy success. This is the decision everyone has to make: run off in favor of something more personally rewarding, or settle for something that's pretty decent and then spend my entire working life convincing myself I made the right choice? Check back this time next year and we'll see where these ramblings led me.

Minor Fiascos, Etc.: March 2012
http://minorfiascos.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Wednesday, March 28, 2012. Over the past 5.5 years, I've taken up extended residence in eleven distinct bedrooms (an average of six months per bedroom, though what this information says about me remains to be seen). Of those eleven, only two have been in single apartments where no one shares the common space with me. Of those two, both have kicked serious ass. Except for I'm going crazy. Or Keeping up with the Kardashians. And there's the orderly shelf of condiments ...

Minor Fiascos, Etc. Read it and Weep. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Every Monday I come to work with a bunch of bananas that serve as breakfast for the rest of the week. And every Wednesday, the remaining bananas are so brown and spotty I want nothing to do with them. I remember reading a year or so back that something was happening with banana genetics that virtually guaranteed their extinction within the next decade. Or something. Perhaps this post deserves more research. Tuesday, November 6, 2012.
