Wanna-Know Wednesdays: The CPT Edition (Part 1)

Okay! Well…as it’s that time of the week [as of yesterday], I’m primed to hit y’all with an official edition/rendition of the soon-to-be-famous Wanna-Know Wednesdays here at Earth Tones.

What we’re gonna do is take your input from previous polls, and compose a nice little blog that reflects what the popular consensus says. I don’t generally pander to the popular consensus, but here is about the only place I choose to make an exception. Because it’s MY SITE. (more…)

The Most Highly Anticipated…EVAR!!!1

Damn, give the guy 4 years to fix an 8-year-deep mess, maybe?
