I love cooking koshihikari sushi rice in a Japanese donabe clay pot. Rinse the rice 4 or 5 times quickly so it doesn't absorb the silty water, soak for at least 20 minutes, dry in a colander or on mesh for an hour ideally, cook, then add about 24ml sushi vinegar for every rice cup. It's so nice you can enjoy it without soy sauce.

I like to make donburi. I use my rice cooker and I make a savory sauce in pan. I slice the onion and I perfectly integrate the sliced ribeye beef I got for 10 dollars from the asian grocery store into my meal. It is done cooking in 10 minutes. I have marinated a ramen egg, and I eat it as well. Jammy and gooey and flavorful. I’m the shōgun. I’m the shōgun.

Once a week I relax at home by making rice, hosing it down with rice vinegar from Okonomi and WADDING it in sheets of seaweed. Avocado and cooked salmon too. I order the eel sauce on the internet. I kick back and watch tv and fill up on that at least once a week. That’s the highest level of pleasure I have ever accessed.

Serious sushi chefs only touch rice for their first 3 years of training, so you can put in a little extra effort and make your rice better. Like an omelette, one of the easiest things to make, but most difficult to perfect.

One of my favorite ways to practice guitar is to just play along with a whole record, and try to copy every lick, but never rewind. The rush of playing along with a band in real time keeps you on your toes, and even if you only have time to mimic the rhythmic content or the rough melodic shape, you're working on so many things simultaneously - most importantly your ear. It's so much fun to play along with an Albert King or Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos album.

I love taking photos of friends with my camera. Even the most casual moments become mythical in reflection as we grow older together. My motto is to never ask someone to smile, make them smile.

A bioluminescent tide hit Los Angeles a couple of years ago, and I swam in the ocean around midnight, with the waves illuminated neon blue, as well as the water around my body, and even the wet sand like little explosions as I walked. I imagined being eaten by a neon shark. My hope is to swim in bioluminescence beneath the aurora borealis someday.
