Twinkle, twinkle
According to a poster on Chowhound, ~LITTLE STAR PIZZA~ is opening a second location in the former Baku de Thai and (extremely short-lived) Opium Den space on 15th Street and Valencia. I spoke with owner Brian Sadigursky, who said they are optimistically hoping to open by mid or late September. They’re gutting the space right now and doing the design themselves, like the first location on Divis. It’ll be roughly the same size, seating 49 guests. No guarantees about a jukebox for this location, but Sadigursky assured me it would be musically appealing no matter what. The same focus on beer and wine will carry over. No one in town can really touch their deep-dish pizza—it made a believer out of me. 400 Valencia St. at 15th St.
YES!!!

Lappy is happy!
Oh, Apple Store, you have, at least temporarily, restored my faith in your products. This time Lappy was repaired at the store instead of being shipped out to Texas. When I went to pick it up they told me all about what happened to Lappy while she was away from me.
Tests, tests, and more tests. New logic board (the second in this machine), new RAM, and oddly a new serial number. I'm crossing my finger that it'll stay in good working order. I was so getting ready to write angry, and likely useless, emails to Mr. Jobs.

Even sadder Lappy
My dear, less than one year old, Lappy has once again returned to the Apple store for repairs. It's for the same fucking problem. I will once again recieve a new logic board, a repair which costs about $1,000. That will bring the total of my repairs in the last three months to almost $1,800. They may as well just give me a new fucking laptop!!!
