get a Kindle and an IPod. Problem solved.

Don't like Fengshui? Fuckit. Paint the thing black and put a big velvet Elvis on the wall. Problem solved.

Don't like inner reflection? Great. Put mirrors on the outside. Outer reflection! Problem solved.

Want company to visit you? Use the outside, they'll never spill drinks on your rug. If it's raining, meet at the local donut shop. Dunkins has free WiFi. Problem solved

But all silliness aside...you have a problem with inner reflection? Really?
