My MacBook Pro arrived back home today with its logic board replaced. They also replaced the topcase assembly, which is pretty funny considering the topcase assembly was replaced less than a month ago, last time I sent the MBP in. Now, me, if I were a tech at the repair facility and I was working on a machine that had been sent again for a problem that remained unfixed, I might actually read the notes from the previous repair. But hey, that's just me. Perhaps Apple has a huge overstock of MBP topcase assemblies and they're replacing them on every unit that comes through the repair center. Maybe.
So now the wait begins. The first time I shut the lid on this bad boy and it doesn't go to sleep, I'm going to be on the horn to executive relations faster than you can say, "Help me, Steve Jobs; you're my only hope."
By way of congratulating Apple on getting my laptop back to me, I wandered on over to my local Apple store this afternoon and bought the new Apple TV. Why, you ask? Because I am a sucker. Duh. On the bright side, if you've been itching for a widescreen, HD slideshow of my son (and you know you have), come on over!
Have we discussed the Buffy comics yet, interwebs? Run, do not walk, to your localnerd emporium comic book store and pick up the first issue, cause that shit is goooood. Although I have to say, I don't know how comic book fans (BK!) do it, cause one issue is like ¼ of a TV episode and then you have to wait a whole month to see what happens next. What's that all about? I for one would be willing to pay to have them speed that shit up. Then again, I'm also the person who bought the variant cover of the first issue and will be buying the slightly different, second-printing cover as well (much to BK's chagrin). So maybe I'm not really the person to ask. (Along these same lines -- only not -- I also think that professional sports games should end early if the margin between the scores is an preset, impossible to overcome amount. Yes, I have lots of opinions. Just ask me.)
Since I'm in an dork-tasticly oversharing kind of mood, I should also note that I not only bought my first-ever comic book this month, I also attended my first-ever comic book convention, where I met Clare Kramer, a.k.a. Glorificus. Here she is with Baxter. As you can see, he just taking a breather between screams, which is merely a fitting reaction to close proximity to a hellgod, and not at all the onset of the terrible twos seven months early. RIGHT???
