Funny/sad picture of me being the weirdo at age 12, already with strangely defined arms.

Most important song of my life. Listening to it yesterday, I remembered how good it made me feel when I was 16, when I wasn’t really talking to anyone and was having a first wave of paranoia and alienation about not being like other people, not having their priorities or interests. I was so angry and hateful then. I’ve been in a different, adult form of that state in recent times, as people get married and spend their time doing things that have absolutely zero relevance to me. I just go deeper into focusing on my shit and am still able to love them. It’s all good. GROWTH.

“

Sri Dharma Mittra answers the question: ‘What do you know for certain?’ (for Origin Magazine)

‘I am absolutely sure that there is nothing I’m really sure of. This answer brought tears to my eyes because as I considered it, I felt in the inmost part of my heart, spiritual sorrow mixed with supreme bliss. I have devoted most of my life to searching for Him and ME, but even after all this time, I’m still not 100% sure about anything.’

“Today my friend Pablo called me so he could read me this phrase he found in a book by Tim O’Brien: “What sticks to memory, often, are those odd little fragments that have no beginning and no end.” I kept thinking about that and stayed awake all night. It’s true. We remember the sounds of the images. And sometimes, when we write, we wash everything clean, as if by doing so we could advance toward something. We ought to simply describe those sounds, those stains on memory. That arbitrary selection, nothing more. That’s why we lie so much, in the end. That’s why a book is always the opposite of another immense and strange book. An illegible and genuine book that we translate treacherously, that we betray with our habit of passable prose.”

- Ways of Going Home, Alejandro Zambra

I want to write about food and am waiting for some inspiration. It makes me think about how, when I wrote about books (however little), I kept expecting my byline to mean something to me, to make me feel a sense of satisfaction. It never came. I wrote about books because I love them, because I love to read closely and actively, but putting it out there for people gave me nothing back. Writing about food, though, might scratch the compulsive writing itch and also satisfy me as an extension of the baking. We’ll see.

Yoga and veganism granted me energy and enthusiasm right when I became intensely panicked I was just going to sit in front of a screen and wither until I died.

““Being a baker requires uncommon commitment and work. As with any kitchen job, it’s physically grueling and requires long hours. But they are odd hours… And the product is incredibly fragile: You’ve got to sell it right away or it’s no good—and you’ve got to have more on the way for when you do. Also, it’s such an inexpensive product, you’ve got to sell an awful lot of it just to make a little bit of money.””

- Thomas Keller, confirming I’m insane, in the Bouchon Bakery cookbook.
