i thought it was pretty good. if you didn't read the book you'd prob find it more interesting. ironic how the author is now dead and snap became famous.

one thing that bugged me was that i imagined everyone to be hotter irl - especially the girl. i pictured her to be an emo cross between avril lavigne and keira knightley but it was more like marlyn manson + female bodybuilder....

I'm in San Gimignano, Italy now. Probably the coolest city I've ever visited. It was apparently a city in Assassin's Creed II.

I'll post a bunch more pics from my Italy trip later.

Here is a review I like about the film after reading a few today:

yeah people are raving about it. its interesting but i wouldn't say its THAT amazing. the diceman or syrup (both different genre) are better.

do read and then watch movie. book was actually called something like "men beat woman" but it obv. wouldn't sell well with this title in u.s. so they changed it.

quick run down is that its a crime novel with "unique" main characters. saying more may give story away.

I haven't read the book fwiw.

The Diceman is SFAwesome though so I can't argue that its likely not as good!!

like a bribe? i dont understand. just say thanks

if you want a good letter of rec, it should be from a person who knows you pretty well, the kind of person who wouldnt want anything from you

yeah I mean they shouldn't expect anything in return

a thank you should suffice. though something like a bottle of wine wouldn't be terrible (but u said they don't drink?)

You two are cute.

How does the film compare to the book?

Spoiler:

But otherwise it's pretty worthwhile. I felt that I had to read it as I was living in Stockholm all the time. Kind of cool to know all the streets he's writing about. The trilogy is certainly much better than Dan Brown so at least the super-best-sellers are improving.

So from what I can tell from my MRI, it looks like I have a tear in my meniscus... not sure though. I just looked up how to read a knee MRI, and where I think my meniscus should be there's a line going through it. Fortunately, it's on the outside, which means it should heal faster and easier.
