August 29, 2011
Remember that time when I was all like "This is totally the last post for the summer"? Well, I was just foolin'. Oh, those whimsical summer musings. No, instead we have another post for you. Today. Right now, in fact. This very post, even. It'll go something like this:

We even have this fancy-dancy poster graphic to convince you to go check it out:
