great title here

The first of the two I'll be discussing here is "City of Light in the Dark." This guy really likes his movies I guess, seven movies in one week? This guy takes everything he does too far I think. And he knows very well that he's doing it too. He kind of reminds me of Toby in This Boy's Life, how he could almost literally feel himself being compelled to not to something wrong, but his sheer immaturity got the better of him. Sedaris kind of seems like that kind of guy.

Again, I found myself relating to his experiences in the second essay, "I Pledge Allegiance to the Bag." Whenever I go back overseas, I get confronted with a series of questions, all related to how life is in America. The line where he said if you were depressed or something that it was normal, but if you weren't, than you used Prozac, cracked me the hell up. Simply because it's true. Outside of this country, people have a certain stereotypical image for the way Americans do EVERYTHING.

And considering that this guy isn't exactly, Captain America so to speak, it's really weird how he was always required to defend the cultures of his country. Even though, most of them I'm willing to bet, he was strongly against. Which is why he probably left in the first place. But hey, what do you guys think?
