Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
-
time, time heals all wounds
-
MP3 player, CDs
-
Kitchen stocked with ingredients for Italian dishes
-
Internet/e-mail access
-
DVD player
-
subscription to satellite or cable
Step1
Make a new playlist for your Ipod and allow yourself to wallow in self-pity and sadness. There are several Sopranos music compilations in CD form available for the technologically challenged.
Step2
Turn to food for comfort. Instead of traditional chocolate and ice cream, think meatballs, manicotti, ziti, cannoli, tortoni, etc. Fortunately for you, there’s even a Sopranos cookbook available. Optional: pick up some elastic waist pants.
Step3
Ruminate with other obsessive fans on Sopranos Internet message boards or continue the legacy by writing your own new, original episodes and post on your MySpace page.
Step4
Initiate an on-line petition in support of a Sopranos movie. Start a chain e-mail pressuring friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances even, into signing it as a pledge of friendship and love for you. If that doesn’t work, tell them something bad will happen in 24 hours if they don’t sign it, or that it’s the final wish of a terminally ill unidentified seven-year old child in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Step5
Stalk James Gandolfini … legally I mean!!! Rent or buy every movie he’s been in. Warning: his character from The Mexican may not be the way you prefer to remember him …
Step6
Move on and start seeing someone else. Big Love’s new season just started, or you could catch up on past seasons of Deadwood. I may switch to Showtime myself … I hear The Tudors’ Henry VIII is pretty hot.

on 6/15/2007 It's hard to come to terms with the fact that nothing on TV will ever compare. But I'm not gonna stop believing and your article certainly helps. I give it a 5!!

on 6/14/2007 I am in serious Sopranos withdrawal. But at least they went out right. Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" is a serious power ballad. Plus they kept it open for the movie. And it was quirky, as the show always was.
