Within an hour they had their first celebrity sighting - they saw Jake Gyllenhall outside the Letterman show. Amber got closer than he did. This is more exciting for Jeremy.

When Meredith said that Jeremy was from Louisville elwing suggested we try to find him and invite him to the Bored. But since neither of us are pubgoers, that might be difficult.

Question #2 (Movie Music - Level 6)

I'd be using ATA also.

Question #3 (Flower Power - Level 3)

The only one I've heard of being used as a tea is hibiscus, so I'd have gone with that answer.

I thought his hesitation meant he was going to change his mind, but regrettably he didn't.

I really need to see Crazy Heart. Movies that win Oscars tend to attract trivia Qs for a long time.
