Sedaris pretty much nails the delivery of the story because he and Miranda July are secret psychic soul mates or something. The story itself is over at about the fifteen minute mark, but I strongly recommend listening to his comments about the story at the end.
If you haven't seen any of Miranda July's films (Me and You and Everyone We Know, The Future), shame on you. And if you call her work "twee" or "weird" then...well, you'd actually be right about those things. But you'd be missing the bigger picture.
Miranda July's best work takes on the banality of human existence - all the awkwardness, all the weirdness and turns it into something strangely endearing. She's a true artist; not merely a filmmaker, writer, or performance artist - whatever that really means. Most importantly, she's a true original without equal in today's popular culture.
And now, Miranda July, doing what she does best - making you feel uncomfortable.
