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

One must imagine Sisyphus happy! Recently watched this movie and I love it so much. It lead me to "Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus which I really recommend

Gakuryu Ishii, 2005. I often spend my days staring blankly at objects in my home, or listlessly wandering through the city in hope of temporarily ridding myself of such a foggy mind. Barely a thought, much less a coherent one. I watched this today, on one of those days, and it melted into me. I've never seen a film that captures depression in such a relatable, realistic and yet serene and even psychedelic way. It really is like this, in my experience anyway.

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.

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.
