What's with the OJ?

Its got vitamins

What, me worry?

Every time he got his "visions" or whatever you want to call it, he got incredibly thirsty.

I think the fact that he has his fridge stocked with nothing but orange juice furthers the idea that his mind is somewhat one-tracked at the time.

Example: all he can focus on is digging, it's taking over his life, all of the things he used to think were important aren't, just digging.

If that made sense...

"I would tell you to go to hell, but I think you're already there."

In the book, Tom points out to the reader, while dicussing his constant need for water after an "episode", that he remembers reading, or hearing, about how mediums get extremely thirsty after being used as a channel.

I thought it was because he was drinking orange juice the first time she appeared to him, so...he kept drinking it maybe hoping she would come back, like how he stayed on the couch forever since that's where she showed up. Just a thought.


"And what would a note say, Dan? 'Cat dead, details later'?"

Maybe cuz The dead girls coat was orange, and as for the drinking of water didn't he have to dig by the water main?

just product placement for MINUTE MAID. It made you want some didn't it?

I for one always thought it was the girls favourite drink. Since he suddenly gained such a strong connection to her and was feeling what she felt, it makes sense that he suddenly like orange juice so much.

I agree with most of these, but I think the obvious one is that orange juice can be used for a conduit w/ electrical current.

The partial electromagnetic properties of apparitions/spirits ( I'm applying what we know as of yet in the area of spirits and theories on how they are able to be seen or experienced within our 4 main dimensions) when applied to Kevin Bacons psychic connection to the victim, makes his choice of orange juice a subconscious choice to build a stronger connection.
