Barnes and Noble therapy
Boys, you might want to avert your eyes right about now. I'm going to bring up a girly topic. Ladies, am I the only one who combats cramps with buying dvd's, cd's or books. Or, in the case of this weekend, all three? It doesn't really work. But it gives you something to do when you are lying about the house, lamenting your fate and taking Alieve. I imagine most girls go for shoes. Not me. I head for Barnes and Noble.
The books I bought:
"House of Leaves" (Mark Z. Danielewski)
My cousin was reading this the last time I went to visit her. It's supposed to be scary. I'll let you know. I haven't started it yet.
"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time " (Mark Haddon)
"Darkly Dreaming Dexter" (Jeff Lindsay)
I'm reading this one cuz Chris from rude cactus read it and I want to be just like him when I grow up. The hero is a serial killer. Creepy!

Glad I could help fuel the addiction. Rude Cactus The Enabler.

Yes, movies, books, magazines, distractions of all sort. Don't forget the cramp remedy you told ME about! ;-)

I head to B&N too. However, I usually end up buying food-related magazines and drool over all the food I have no time to make . . . and random British women's magazines, since they seem so "foreign" and exotic to me . . .

It's called retail therapy, Jod. I buy books and clothes for the little girls. You can imagine their wardrobe! Alas, it does not help the crampy, ornery, blah feelings.
I've read the Curious Incident and have to say it was a little weird, not bad, just weird.
