With my show on hiatus this week, I'm back in the hinterlands of dial-up -- and trying to post anything meaningful over the phone lines is a bit like traveling from LA to New York via horse and buggy. It can be done, but is hardly worth the effort, so I'm shutting the blog down for a little while.
A week, two weeks, maybe more. When I have something worth posting, it'll go up, but not until then.
But hey, it's the peak of summer -- you should be out doing something fun anyway, not staring at some computer, notebook, or cell phone screen. So get out there and do it.
I'll be back...
About Me
- Michael Taylor
- Born and raised in a rural pocket of the San Francisco Bay Area, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz clutching a degree in Aesthetic Studies. Armed with this paper sword, boundless ignorance, and a vision of Hollywood heavily influenced by the movie “Shampoo” (and seriously, what guy didn’t want to be Warren Beatty back then?), I proceeded to march on Hollywood in the spirit of a young man seeking adventure, a living -- and if Lady Luck deigned to smile upon me, perhaps a small fortune. Adventure, I found. A living, I made, but although Lady Luck has thus far kept me safe from harm on the road-raging freeways and bullet-riddled streets of Los Angeles, that elusive fortune remains but a shiny mirage on the road ahead. I'm now playing out the string on a thirty year career in set lighting, trying to hang on until the bitter end.
It is so awfully hot that the only sane thing to do seems to be to park oneself across a screen (TV, laptop, whatever) or take a nap... :)
ReplyDeleteBe back soon!
Lakshmi --
ReplyDeleteI have returned to a sweltering, 100 degree-plus Los Angeles, and thus can TOTALLY relate to seeking shelter from the brutal sun and parking myself in front of a glowing screen. In an hour I'll go back to work, thankful to that my show takes place on a blissfully air-conditioned sound stage...
