In this morning's New York Times, there's an article about Miranda July that mentions the fact that she hasn't held a day job since she was 23.
This is inspiring to me, as I too have been without a day job since I was 23. I suppose one could get syntactical and point out that the article specifically states that Ms. July hasn't had to take a day job, implying a sense of luxury I don't know that I would necessarily afford myself - but nonetheless! I can add this to my list of things that validate my meager living and keep me resolute in my decision to be employed to the greatest extent possible by my artistic whims.
I haven't linked to Miranda July's blog in the months since I saw her film, but such links have been pretty ubiquitous lately, and perhaps I was waiting for just the right moment to mention it, which may not be right now - but close enough. It's the kind of thing I often wish I had the confidence to write. Whenever I click over to it and see that it's been updated, I find myself suddenly several degrees happier than I was two seconds earlier.

"Whenever I click over to it and see that it's been updated, I find myself suddenly several degrees happier than I was two seconds earlier." That's the same way I feel about your pants.
