Writing is my second career, and one of the very few things that it has in common with my first career—contemporary dance—is the necessity of maintaining secondary employment. I’ve been supporting myself since I was eighteen years old: I’ve made sandwiches and cocktails and uncountable lattés, put price stickers on wine glasses, supervised the unloading of trucks at 7am on Montreal winter mornings, sold everything from clothing to furniture to vases in three cities, run errands for architects, scheduled meetings, designed and coded websites, written reports and managed offices; all the strangely varied occupations that a person accumulates when the primary objective is not to establish a career, per se, but just to pay the rent while they’re working on a novel.”<br/><br/> - <em>Emily St. John Mandel, from “<a href="http://www.themillions.com/2009/10/working-the-double-shift.html">Working the Double Shift</a>” (via <a href="http://thehurrythrough.tumblr.com/">thehurrythrough</a>)</em>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/282321790http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/282321790Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:40:24 -0500<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kum41rlzBV1qz77ppo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://monoxious.com/diy-fashion-tutorial-tom-binns-safety-pin-necklace/">DIY Fashion Tutorial: Tom Binns Safety Pin Necklace | Monoxious.com</a>)</p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/282237078http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/282237078Sun, 13 Dec 2009 17:34:38 -0500<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kulyjx5c8f1qzw5wjo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.iheartmyart.com/post/282085659/joan-jonas-mirror-piece-i-1969-via-recent">iheartmyart</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Joan Jonas, Mirror Piece I, 1969.

These are things that are weighted laterally that maintain a stable horizon (whether present or not) but unstable values in subtle shifts, like this room’s asymmetry, like the girls that are not twins later. If a shot lacks a stable plane (a horizon reminder like the desk), then it probably has a vertical plane like the one that bisects Jack’s head (below). However primitive the result is, this is Kubrick’s most experimental pursuit in The Shining, he is using neuroscience, paleoneurology and the cortex to both scare you and develop a new language of storytelling.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.mstrmnd.com/log/802">Mstrmnd</a></em>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/278945886http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/278945886Fri, 11 Dec 2009 08:53:17 -0500“Gaga has done something more specific: She’s tapped into one of the primary obsessions of our age — the changing nature of the self in relation to technology, the ever-expanding media sphere, and that sense of always being in character and publicly visible that Gaga calls “the fame” — and made it her own obsession, the subject of her songs and the basis of her persona.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/la-ca-lady-gaga13-2009dec13,1,1933920,full.story">Frank talk with Lady Gaga — latimes.com</a></em>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/278568753http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/278568753Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:39:56 -0500<img src="http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kue698giSZ1qz77ppo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://todaymelbourne.blogspot.com/2009/12/deciphering-sexual-references-at-monash.html">Melbourne Today: Deciphering sexual references at the Monash Gallery of Art</a></p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/276207793http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/276207793Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:41:32 -0500<img src="http://4.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kudh0vtjn61qz77ppo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Alfred Hrdlicka, via <a href="http://www.artfacts.net/exhibpics/10862.jpg"><a href="http://www.artfacts.net">www.artfacts.net</a></a></p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/275784841http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/275784841Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:36:31 -0500<img src="http://2.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kucn4eeQMk1qz77ppo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2009/12/uniform_wares_w.php">Uniform Wares Watch</a></p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274983571http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274983571Tue, 08 Dec 2009 14:50:38 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WeVRYPjcVXg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WeVRYPjcVXg&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://deadscreen.tumblr.com/post/271105100/bbcs-synth-britannia-part-1-9-aka-electronic">deadscreen</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>BBC’s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeVRYPjcVXg&feature=player_embedded">Synth Britannia - Part 1/9</a></p> <p>AKA Electronic England</p> <p>All 9 parts present and accounted for.</p> </blockquote>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274446482http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274446482Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:41:33 -0500<img src="http://1.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kubczctwt81qz51l0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://constantwanderlust.tumblr.com/post/274290676/hammocknotes-tatielle-suniti-this-isnt">constantwanderlust</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://hammocknotes.tumblr.com/post/274132005/tatielle-suniti-this-isnt-happiness-tm-peter">hammocknotes</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://tatielle.tumblr.com/post/274077360/suniti-this-isnt-happiness-tm-peter-nidzgorski">tatielle</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://tumblr.grayash.com/post/274074636/this-isnt-happiness-tm-peter-nidzgorski-tumblr">suniti</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://ffffound.com/image/fa0ed05bc44756086f5e6cf1a8003d3a59dc429f">this isn’t happiness.™ Peter Nidzgorski, tumblr</a> (via <a href="http://ffffound.com/home/seditions/found/">seditions</a>)</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>i want to live there</p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274375213http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274375213Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:14:58 -0500<img src="http://10.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kubgs0ETl81qz77ppo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.johncoulthart.com/feuilleton/2009/12/08/the-fascinating-phallus/">The fascinating phallus</a></p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274193532http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/274193532Mon, 07 Dec 2009 23:35:59 -0500<img src="http://14.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku9lny9KK11qz77ppo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>anna-wintour-as-a-teenager.jpg</p> <p>via <a href="http://jolienadine.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/young-anna-wintour-as-a-teenager.jpg">jolienadine.com</a></p>http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/272712676http://jomc.tumblr.com/post/272712676Sun, 06 Dec 2009 23:26:22 -0500““We’re fundamentally a social species so we need others with whom we can cooperate and work,” Cacioppo said.
