(Wait, then wouldnt that be Oscar?
Ugh, thisSesame Streetmetaphor no longer tickles my Elmo.)
The thing weve always known about Ramona is that she tends to make every situation about herself.
That is what all great practitioners of the reality television arts and sciences do.
But no one has taken that egocentricity and turned it into a malignancy like Ramona.
She is also in need of a storyline as the second season ofHandmaids Tale.
She is now just three courses away from eligibility.
The star of the show should be the apartment, but Ramona is making this all about herself.
Next is a date for Sonja Tremont Morgan of the Wind Breaker Gas Displacement Pills Morgans.
I had faith in Ebonis friend Devyn.
Then she set my favorite floozy up with a pair of cracked Ray-Bans.
I mean, what is up with this guy?
Hes sold his house in the South of France.
Hes on his fourth back surgery and its not even from some sort of exotic accident.
None of those things.
He just has a bad spine.
No wonder all of these women are single.
There is not one eligible bachelor in Manhattan who hasnt married his nanny.
Mostly what it brought together was Ramonas voice with everyone elses exasperated ears.
But she insists on Zooming into the proceedings.
A solo teleconferencer has no part at an in-person gathering.
Thats just the way G*d intended.
The real trouble starts when Archie explains that shes worried about the relationship between Jews and the Black community.
She learned this by watchingFiddler on the Roofin Nolita.
Ramona says she cares about that too.
Everyone cares about it.
Eboni counters with the point that she is the only one who has suffered a price.
Ramona just cant take this.
I mean, OK. Sure.
Maybe that happened.Maaaaaay-be that is true.
But there is more to this story.
Why was she around so many Jews, and why were they all against her?
Is it because she kept saying offensive things like she is doing at this event?
I am going to need a deposition from one of these Jewish kids before I can pass judgment.
I cant pee now!
Now shes just deflecting and dissembling.
But Ramona isnt that calculated; she isnt that coached.
I was trying to figure out where this animus is coming from when Eboni elucidated it perfectly.
She says that Ramona cant sit with being uncomfortable about racial or religious oppression.
She cant just listen and examine her part in other peoples struggles.
She needs this to be about her, too.
She tells them that she doesnt want what they have in the kitchen, because they arent healthy snacks.
