Ok I don’t really have good answers but here goes
1) I don’t know, I just finished (and when I say finished I mean I stopped reading it 3/4ths of the way though) “The Outlander” don’t waste your time.
2)You probably have seen it but if not, rent “Blood Simple” I loved it, but I’m a little twisted.
3)Cure?-Sleep, Medicine? I think you should try to get back in touch with “the Duke of Herb’ MMM my favorite medicine and you don’t need a scrip!
4) Superwhat?

1. Archie Comics. They have pictures and stuff.

2. If you haven’t seen Taken yet it’s the best movie I’ve seen in a while

3. Admit baseball is the better sport!

4. Dolphins – Browns… don’t they both suck? I don’t watch football you know!

Just found your site… love it…

2. Stealing Home It’s the other baseball movie that came out the same summer as Bull Durham. I may be the only person alive who saw it.

I don’t have anything for #3 or #4…but in answer to the others…

#1 – “The 19th Wife” by David Ebershoff…or “Water for Elephants” by Sarah Gruen. I just finished reading them both and they were great!

#2 – The movie “The Visitors” (it’s a little known movie) was fantastic! Just watched it yesterday!

I only have a response for #2: Orlando, starring Tilda Swinton. It’s my favorite. Few people have heard of it, I find.

Re (1) – I am not sure what you should read next, but I can tell you it should NOT be the girl with the dragon tattoo. No book should take 350 pages to get me hooked, even a 650 page book. Oy.

I’d answer the questions but the ad to my right says “Happiness is a Tim Gunn” and that is so crazy wrong that I can’t think about anything else.

Until now.

What kind of book do you feel like reading? Did you read Love is a Mixtape? I think you’d like it. Or maybe not right now. You might need something funnier…in which case I should lend you Then We Came to the End because Jonathan Ferris is awesome and it’s funny. I loved Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and Ann Patchett’s books are my go-to recommendation but I can’t remember if you’ve read her stuff or not.

Movie…I think most current movies suck. The last one I saw that I thought was really great was The Wrestler, which you’ve probably seen. SO, um, Smoke Signals? Did you see that? I still kind of love it. I also liked Lars and the Real Girl.

Sleep is the only cure I know of and I hesitate to suggest that to parents of small children.

And I have no idea but I hope it’s the Vikings so I can post more video of Jared Allen saying ridiculous things. I’m so shallow.

1. Anything but Angry Housewives Eating Bonbons. I’m reading it now for a book club and it makes me angry that writing was ever invented.
2. Sleeper with Woody Allen. God, I love that movie … even though I sort of hate Woody Allen nowadays.
3. Rest, rest and more rest.
4. I hate football but I’m hopeful that it’s the Packers and the Vikings and that the Vikings win because I like to see Packers fans cry.
