I feel like this has been me all week, for some reason. I don’t know why performing socially acceptable behavior is currently requiring so much effort. I do love Allie Brosh’s cartoons, though!

Excerpt From Old Transcript Of Scotch-Fueled Debate I Had With My Dad After Seeing Paul Simon's Documentary About The Making Of "Graceland."

  1. Bob: I mean, it was really brave what he did.
  2. Maggie: But was it? What was brave about it?
  3. Bob: Okay, maybe "brave" isn't the right word.
  4. Maggie: He didn't actually risk anything.
  5. Bob: But here's the real question: do you think he shouldn't have gone?
  6. Maggie: Well...no. I think he should have.
  7. Bob: So, then you agree: he was right to have gone.
  8. Maggie: Well, I don't know - I don't like the way he went about it. You have the oppressed people of a country working every day to destroy apartheid and this cultural arts ban was part of that struggle.
  9. Bob: But who are these "people" you are talking about? The ANC doesn't represent every person in South Africa. The musicians were also activists. Don't they represent South African interests?
  10. Maggie: Maybe the ANC doesn't represent every person, but they still represent a large movement and it's disrespectful to ignore what they're working so hard to do. I mean, maybe Martin Luther King Jr didn't represent every person in the civil rights movement, but it still means something when he initiates a boycott.
  11. Bob: But Martin Luther King Jr. isn't God. What if he makes a stupid policy?
  12. Maggie: But who gets to decide that it's stupid? Why does Paul Simon get to decide that?
  13. Bob: Fair enough. But this isn't like the Berlin Philharmonic going over there and giving a concert. This is a musician coming to collaborate with South African artists. Paul Simon wasn't trying to break a boycott - he just got swept up into what was later acknowledged to be a bad, overreaching policy.
  14. Maggie: You keep calling it a "policy" and I think that you're diminishing what they were trying to do.
  15. Bob: Why? I don't have any negative connotation with the word "policy."
  16. Maggie: Yes, you do! You love that Seinfeld bit about how "even I am not above the policy"!
  17. [Laughter]

I need to take a page from the Alia Shawkat look book, since she’s the only famous person I even remotely resemble. I just don’t have the energy/will to look nice or put-together on the daily.
