Teenagers Lyrics by My Chemical Romance.
Video Here.

Anxiously awaiting the premiere of The Umbrella Academy miniseries. The Free Comic Day Preview was outstanding and I had no idea the book was written by the front man of My Chemical Romance.

I never really paid attention to the band until I ran into the tune Teenagers which has a real Misfits tinge to it. Check the video out and then check out this online Umbrella Academy story. Here's more info on the debut issue of Apocalypse Suite.

If I had the time and money, I'd love to start a nonprofit that organizes boycotts of companies that farm out their customer service to foreign Non-English speaking/low wage nations. My experiences with all of them have been terrible (as I'm sure the rest of America's). Here's the list of companies I am currently boycotting: AT&T, Dell, Dish Network, JUNO/United Online, and Household Bank. And for those of you that know my real last name, just try and get a foreigner to be able to pronounce it much less type it into a computer.

The new greatest invention of mankind is the self check out aisle at the grocery. Is this the end of the cashier? I doubt it, but is the end of me having to sit in line waiting while I wait for some slow, snot nose, punk kid, reject who can't count change without a computer nor crack a smile nor say, "thank you."

And if I hadn't mentioned it before though I'm not reading the series (due to budget restraints I'll have to wait for the trades), the Doktor Sleepless WIKI is up.

Here's an excerpt about it from the Avatar Press newsletter: "...the DS wiki is almost completely operated by its community of fans, with pictures, time lines, discussions, and related links supplied by people like yourself. Warren also stores a mass of back matter related to the print comic here for fans to contemplate over, as well as hidden information and secret web pages! Come and support one of the finest new series and its web correlative, and see what all the hype is about."
