There is a mysterious, two-story, dark-wood library open only on Fridays with out-of-print esoteric books behind glass that you can handle, three at a time. You get a form to list which books you want, and the librarian comes over with a cluttered ring of keys to unlock each one for you. It’s located at Philosophical Research Society in Los Feliz.

Not sterile whatsoever and has a nice outdoor space to read/work/exist as well as a minimal cafe area inside that feels comfy cozy 90s. On Sunset/Logan in Echo Park.

I sincerely love this place -- pretty surreal to see a full bar where almost every single person is reading a book. Not embarrassed to say that I've spent a couple Friday nights at this spot.

Green tea and coffee serve different purposes. Coffee is felt in the nerves and digestive system, and it gets you up and going in all directions. I love throwing myself into that feeling. Green tea opens the heart and throat, great for making connections and speaking. I always drink it before doing a podcast, having a meeting, or going out to socialize. And, there’s never any come down. Just a steady high of giving alertness.

Mochi is the perfect ice cream portion. With a pint, you can accidentally eat the whole thing. With Mochi you have one and you’re like, oh, great, done. Mochi has boundaries. I need to get better at boundaries. I keep crossing them - with people, love, food, promises, staying up late. I tell myself that truth is found in extremes and often act upon this belief. I do get results, yes, which is why it’s hard to change… I guess it’s not so bad. There’s a lot to gain. Just be ready for the clean-up job.
