    I love the video for ‘Take it as it Comes’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uubJ7IzOrEE&ob=av2e

    It’s simply perfect.

    So I just watched American Graffitti for the first time and holy cow the girls are awesome (especially Debbie) and the cars are bitchin’ and Toni Basil did choreography for the one dance number in the movie and Richard Dreyfuss is a fox.
