had at least 3 birthdays here when I was a kid. it was a massive subterranean mars-themed restaurant with an elevator that looked and felt like a rocket ship (even though it only actually went 2 floors down). pretty sure they turned it it into din tai fung.

Ate the pork soup dumplings here before my knee popped out of its socket in a Russian martial arts class. Worth it. I will be back to both establishments next week.

Caught it at Metrograph last night. A true masterpiece about the nature of work and identity in Japan and beyond. I left thinking โ€œmaybe Sisyphus did have a choice?โ€

I think about this line from virgil abloh's lecture at columbia's architecture school all the time, which is about the Yeezus album cover. a testament to how, when you put in enough hours, sometimes you create work that transcends your current capabilities - even if just by chance.
