Without seeing your deck list I can't say for sure, but 35 seems low. I probably wouldn't cut another land.
When you say you are "flooding more often than not", there are some other things to consider: how prevalent are Howling Mine effects in your playgroup? It's is hard to imagine you flooding consistently unless you are used to drawing a lot of extra cards. It would suck to cut a land, only to find your deck stop working when your playgroup decides to drop Nekusar, for example.
Another thing is, how does your playgroup handle mulligans? Loose mulligans mean you can get away with fewer lands. Do you get more than one "free" mulligan like Sheldon's group? When someone goes down to 5 and still has trouble, do you show mercy and let them draw back up to 7? Just consider the possibility that if your mulligan rules are lax, you may be just be relying on the good graces of your friends if you maintain a land count that is too low.
My general advice in this format is, play more utility lands, and play more cheap card draw. Hope this helps.
