I agree with this. A friend was telling me that he plans on investing in Amish furniture, and I couldn’t agree with him more. Of course we all need pieces so that we can like…sit in the meantime, but think about oak, guys.
As you can see from this live feed of the Tommy Trojan statue, some of my fellow USC students are camped out so that our crosstown rivals can’t reach our beloved figurehead. Grr! Sports! Rivalries! I don’t care about this, but I do!

The more obvious pop interludes are a bit goofy, even if Jackson 5 works fairly well over ‘Falling’, but I’m not gonna lie: that opener with Donna and Nikki Grace crying along to Llorando which then works the blue light into the FWWM final scene gave me goosebumps a bit.
Hey! It’s the day after Thanksgiving! Get in the holiday spirit by creeping yourself out and watching this! I used to think Lost was my generation’s Twin Peaks, but J.J. Abrams is probably too mentally healthy to ever come close to Lynchian weirdness.
