Sorry, been on deadline and all that goodness. So one bit or information that I'll say just once. I appreciated comments that have nothing to do with my blog entries. It's a nice way to reach out. But... know that I can't write you back, and I don't want to communicate with you through the comments section in a blog entry that has nothing to do with the comment. I can't write you back.

Get stoned and watch this:Was at the NY Guggenheim this weekend with Mom. I walked in and I could hear 50 Cent blasting and I was very confused as to how his work could be considered art. Turns out it was part of an installation there that was a dance floor with lights that were syncronized to the club music.

The cloudy pork brothed ramen is taking root in Southern California. In Little Tokyo is yet another place doing it, called Daikoku. The soup broth isn’t as strong as a place like Santouka, and has some pork pieces, green onion, a marinated egg, and slices of bamboo shoots. For a few extra dollars, you can get a side dish like fried rice, oyako don, tuna bowl, etc. The ramen portion is large, and the noodle are decent, and there’s a wait to get in. The gritty: the bowl stuff isn’t exciting, and the ramen is decent, but isn’t up to the level of Santouka. You get more, but it’s just under the level. But if you want tonkotsu style ramen, and you don’t want it so strong, then this is a good place for you, but it’s definitely watered down.
