Jeni's Musings

Reminds me of Woody Allen’s character in one of my favourite (and formative) films, Hannah and Her Sisters. Wikipedia’s summary of his story:

Mickey (played by Allen in the neurotic persona common to many of his films) provides the comic relief… Mickey’s main story is one of a hypochondriac confronting the possibility of an actual serious disease. It turns into a career-pausing existential crisis, and leads to unsatisfying experiments with religious conversion, before a long walk and the fortuitous opportunity to view Duck Soup helps remind him why life is worth living.
