From beyond the darkest expanses come I, one whom has been in torment since before your pathetic sun first began to burn. I have watched Humanity flourish across the face of this doomed orb, and I shall watch still as your great cities crumble to dust and your bones are made meal for the lowliest vermin.

In the meantime, I keep busy by reading comics.

THANKS- Here’s to our loyal and understanding customers, who so bravely faced the trials and tribulations brought upon us by our incredibly flawed distribution system this week. It was a rough one, but we made it to the other side and we couldn’t have done it without you. As you know, we always try our very best to be the best, but when forces beyond our control screw up the works, it’s nice to know that you guys are with us.

THANKS II- Thanks to everyone who made it out to the super-special screening of SOUTHLAND TALES this afternoon at The Byrd Theater. It was a special time that we all shared, and I for one feel that much closer to each and every one of you.
