About Me

Freelance film critic - The Dispatch, Lexington, NC

The hair from your last haircut ... what would it say about your new style?

"Fine. I see how it is. Just leave us on the floor! We don't matter anymore! Apparently it's all about style now. And we've been with you longer than any other hairs! You look like an idiot, by the way."
