*Cough*

Time for another story. Way back when I used to work in creature effects, doing make-up and animatronics. And if you didn't know, it's a really toxic business. Combine that with the awesome air in Los Angeles in the late 80's/early 90's and my poor lungs wanted to leap out of my chest and retreat back to the central coast. I ended up really sick, like close to pulmonary shutdown, and a doctor said "you want to live to be 30? Change your industry and leave this town". This hauntingly beautiful MOC by Kosmas Santosa sorta reminds me of a few lovely spots in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Update: I switched to digital visual effects, moved to Lompoc CA and got much better pretty quick.
