Yesterday, I recorded the voice-over for a new Visit Indy spot. I've worked with them before, and I love doing my small part to shine a light on the big small town I called home for nearly a decade. I moved away about 6 months ago, and it seems to be just hitting me now that I miss it. I'm not ...
I’ll say this much.
I just saw this tweet: Clicking through the images, I could tell in an instant that they're taken in places I stood just a few weeks ago. The market in Delhi is the Main Bazaar, where I stayed while I was there (you can see Vivek Hotel clearly in the picture). I've been to that train station, ...
An evening with the internet
I just (legally!) downloaded a handful of scripts to read. They're not all still posted, but several great ones still up for the taking. I've been doing a lot of writing thinking about doing a lot of writing lately, particularly in script form. Blame all those filmmakers I know. But seriously, I ...
Peace out, Utah.
I've started packing. It's been nice having this down time, but you know what? It's also pretty damn lonely. So over the last few days I've been slowly sorting through what few belongings I brought with me to Utah (and the little bit more I've acquired while I've been here) figuring out what I can ...
Walking in Place
I can't deny that upon my return from India I slipped easily into "staycation" mode. You've been there: no work in the near future but you're not going anywhere, either. So you sleep a little later, shower a little longer (if at all), eat a little messier and indulge a little more in all the ...
Playing catch up
One of the biggest question marks upon my return to the states was what I would do with myself around the hours spent on the job search. The answer, you will not be surprised to hear, has been found in movies. As I slowly reminded myself the nuances of grocery shopping for one, I also recalled ...
The non-post
I suppose this is the part where I should share the latest and greatest in the post-India world I'm living in. A couple times a day I get this strange flash of memory - a vision of the Ganges, a mental view of Mumbai streets - and it hits me that these are my experiences, these are images I'll ...
Wheels up
Time is a weird thing. Especially when you're traversing the globe. On my way to India, I spent 24 hours on plane and zipped ahead in time a full 36 hours. On my way home, it will take just as long, but since I'm going the opposite direction, we'll tick time off the clock each hour of the journey. I ...
I will resort to bribery.
Hello, Internet? It's me, Lisa. I've honestly been having a blast with this return to blogging. This trip proved the perfect excuse to get back in the habit of writing a little bit every day. And as I hope you've been able to tell, I've been having fun with the recounting of my days, flexing the ...
Friday Night in Mumbai
I'm sitting at Mocha, a hip little coffee-joint-slash-restaurant-slash-bar at 8:30p on a Friday night. I'm a block from the Arabian Sea and the amazingly beautiful bay in south Mumbai that forms a crescent with a view on the other side of high rises and the sprawling city. The club music that's on ...
