Caption: I read your interview with Syria's ruthless dictator. It was actually fascinating. I never really knew or cared why dictators seem to cling to power so desperately. The part where you got him to talk about that little red-haired girl why never returned his phone calls explained everything. Lemont, your writing was actually really good! You don't have to sound so shocked. I wasn't bored to death.

Caption: I'm desperate, Doctor Peel. I hate the daily drudgery of my life. The total boredom of safe routines. The total lack of direction and meaning. Have you considered using that frustration as a catalyst to step our of your comfort zone and take control of your own destiny? I'm not that desperate.

Image Number: 2338
Caption: Our heroine, suffering from an acutely painful tonsil infection, finds herself praying! Will desperation turn this agnostic Taoist into a catholic? Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name, bla bla bla etc. God grant me health! God grant me health! ... A few days and several doses of Amoxicillin later ... Gosh! My health is returning! Maybe God answered my prayers!! Maybe I should become a nun or something to show my gratitude. Of course, if there really is a patriarchal capital-G-God up there ... who hears prayers and consciously guides every aspect of our lives.... Then he made me sick in the first place! What a sadistic jerk!! And so, Nina remains an agnostic Taoist... Until the next time she's desperate.
