Today’s Jitterati took an insanely long time to write, and even then it was sort of average. I spent about six hours tweaking just a few lines.
JAIMEE: Tony, what’s worse? Acting like a hypocrite, acting like a hypocrite and then denying it, or not holding someone accountable for acting like a hypocrite, because your expectations of them are so low it’s what you expect?
TONY: Pointing it out in the first place.
JAIMEE: Nothing wrong with a little mystery in life. For example, I can’t see how someone can say racist things but not be a racist, or do hypocritical things but not be a hypocrite!
TONY: It’s complicated.
JAIMEE: Aha ha ha! No it’s not.
DEBBIE: I want to see Death and the Dream Life of Elephants at BATS, but I spent ten minutes on the website and I still don’t know what it’s about!
JAIMEE: Just treat it like a box of mystery chocolates. Hopefully you’ll get a caramel crème and not a crunchy frog.
(Thoughtful pause)
JAIMEE: Sometimes being baffling and incomprehensible can be a great strategy.
DEBBIE: You would say that.
Oh well, at least it mentions something happening in Wellington this week.
