today was probably one of the highlights of my young teenage life. not only did i get to score the new and phenomenal 21st Century Breakdown by none other than the talented Green Day, but I also found Gerard Way's comic, The Umbrella Academy(I got "Apocalypse Suite", an entire collection of the first series, and five of the original issues of "Dallas", the second, but i could not find the second issue of the series.)

mkay, i'll start with Vert Jour("green day" en francais). so, i've been eagerly waiting for 21st Century Breakdown ever since I first heard of it. Like, seriously, i was pretty much hyper- ventilating the morning it released(that would be yesterday.) i was shaking in my school seats in class and reminding people so much, they'd get close to slapping me. anyway, to the album itself, i got it this morning(i was at sam's place last night as usual, so i didn't go get it.) my dad actually came with me 'coz he wanted it too. so, we're speeding all over town blasting it. we even stopped by the comic shop because we wanted to drive around a little longer to listen to it. it was there is got my late birthday present...

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY. it is written by gerard way[my chemical romance] and illustrated by gabriel ba. it. is freaking. amazing. (not unlike 21st century breakdown.)i will not talk about it. no summaries. you go buy it for yourself. just like 21st century breakdown. you go buy it. i'm not going to tell you how freaking awesome it is. you find out for yourself.

oh yeah... this was also pretty schweet. i got myself a rorschach action figure when i went to the comic shop! you know, from watchmen? yes. he's beautiful and he matches my watchmen poster with rorschach on it. being a nerd is freaking sweet.
