I Fought a Vacuum Cleaner…and Lost
I can only assume that most of us have had days that feel like we’ve sleep walked into the center of an active volcano, set up a lounge chair, and turned on the world’s most poorly made movie to pass the time while we wait for molten lava to melt us feet first. The demolition […]
