He had superior hearing and would complain at the drop of a hat when we were in the renovation phase. I didn’t know there was someone going to be much worse. Friends, meet the douchebags upstairs.

The Greatest Lash of All

The Evil Mirror Maker
My entry title sounds like a Brothers Grimm cautionary fairytale, or a bad Disney movie. But it’s not. For almost a month now, I’ve been dressing up and fixing my face without the help of a mirror (what do you have to say to that, Dove???
