Dearest friends, neighbors, and comrades of Vox,
As some of you may or may not know, one of my majors in school is that of Media Studies, the theoretical and academic investigation of Media. As a second semester senior, it is now my current responsibility to formulate a collective artifact of my studies throughout my academic career in a Media Studies Senior Project, or thesis project if you will.
The project is to be wrought in the form of a multi-faceted mini graphic novel of sorts, most likely constructed in Flash for the purpose of animating certain attributes and enabling the incorporation of sound, movie, interaction, etc. I wish to tell the tale of three characters: one who is media saturated, one who is mid-media saturated, and the last who hardly uses 'media' at all. The point of the project is to develop a sense of the way we encounter media in various ways, and most importantly, how we relate our identities with such media.
This is where you, yes you my Voxer, come in. Over the course of the week I've managed to gather survey input from close friends and family to inform the personalities/characteristics and motions of the three characters featured in the piece. If any of you would be interested in participating in this cumulation of identities, mediated or non-mediated, I would be forever thankful. The survey would be kept entirely anonymous, and other than a snippet of personality or a particular phrase to be included in the final piece, you would be left safely out of the frame.
Please let me know if you're interested in contributing by either commenting or messaging me, and if so, I will e-mail you the survey and give you mad props in the credits of the piece. I'm amidst generating the characters as we speak (at the wee hours of the post-time), and whatever response I can get, I'll take.
So thank you in advance, both for reading over this rather despondent plea of a second semester senior attempting to graduate, and for participating.
Hearts, domo-kuns, and multi-layers,

Regardless of the fact that I live only 40 minutes driving distance from San Francisco and that it is one of the best cities in the world, my entire family only makes it up to the city at most once or twice a year. Sad, yes, but true.
This Friday after I get off of work my family is making a bold move to drive up to the city and have dinner with me. Unfortunately, given the limitations of my time in the city, I have yet to become any wiser about the 'hot spots' in San Francisco, particularly, good places to eat.
Calling out to my San Francisco friends! What is the best restaurant that you'd take your family to? My mother prefers Italian, but any recommendations are welcome. If I don't get any recommendations my father will probably make us go to the Cheescake factory (*rolls eyes*). So please, I'd love your suggestions!
Thank you in advance!
Yesterday I was at a party and I was using the same digital camera
that I brought to one ceremonial shirt destroying last friday. It
was the first time that I had used it since I took photos of the event,
including a movie of the shirt being incinerated. I was using the
camera at the party and everything was fine, but then suddenly it had
dissapeared in the couch that I was putting it down on, and when I
tried to use it again, the lens zoom had been jolted and now the camera
doesn't work.
First point: Does this mean that the evil of the shirt has continued
to live, and plague the destruction of everything in its path?
Should I post to photos of the event online and show the movie or
should I destroy them immediatly on my camera?
Second point: Does anyone know where they will fix digital
cameras in the Bay Area? Its a Canon Powershot SD450 Digital
Elph, a wonderful camera, and I'd much appreciate anyone who could send
me to the right direction. I'd rather not pay a billion dollars
to fix it, but if there isn't any other way, I guess I'll just have to.
*sad, i want my camera back look*
*tear*
