askye, my condolences to you and your family.

That spelling bee vid is hilarious.

Ooh, I have envy of the SatC screening and cosmos. mmm. Seems like that's the way to see it.

Is Chicago style a two crust pizza? There was (still may be for all I know) a pizza place in Berkeley that did a two crust pizza. It was damn good.

Dear world of choice (aka Buffistas),

1. It's morning here.
2. It's morning here after I got 5 hours of sleep for reasons I'm not sure are good enough to justify it. Oh, cruel world. So much fun and good and work to do, so little sleeeeeep.
3. I'm so so so excited about seeing The Gutter Twins here in September. I'm worried that if I'll keep it up like this I'll run out of excitement before the lads will get here.
4. Bellwether is a kick-ass book. I loved it. I keep calling annoying unuseful (eh, is that a word?) persons in my life that I couldn't keep out of them.
5. You can tell it's summer just by the number of CouchSurfing requests I'm getting. Speaking of which, I have no idea where the woman from Cancun that was supposed to stay over yesterday is, but she had 2 digits missing in the phone number she sent me so I couldn't phone her. Well, she has my number...
6. Oh look everybody in one of the coasts! The Israeli is up. Maybe it's time for you to go to bed? Sleep is your friend!
7. Coffee is my friend. Hello, foamy.

So how are you all?

Askye, I'm so sorry.

Is Chicago style a two crust pizza?

No. The deep dish is a really deep dish (like 3") but the crust is only thick enough to maintain structural integrity. It's much more filling than crust.

Heh. Yeah, it's now after 10PM here on board time, so I was kinda contemplating bed...my downstairs neighbors are playing loud music off and on (off, at the moment). I'll probably head to bed but end up reading a book until it's late anyway. :)

G'night!

According to wikipedia what I am remembering is called a stuffed pizza. Well, it was good.

Also according to wikipedia there is something that exists that is called a California style pizza. WTF? I had to look it up to see what it was because I couldn't guess. Turns out it means pizza with weird crap that doesn't belong on a pizza, like barbeque chicken. sigh. No wonder I didn't know we had our own style of pizza. I never order it.

I guess that's what you get at the California Pizza Kitchen, Burrell! :)

Chicago style deep dish is not like other pizzas that claim to be deep dish.

One of my few gripes about living in LA is how difficult it is to find real Chicago styles pies. T'was much easier in Ann Arbor. There were multiple restaurants that made genuine Chicago stiles pies.

It's only 10PM, I'm still working. I've got a machine diligently doing a drive image backup so that I can then install Leopard on it and in turn install the new version of ProTools that claims to actually work on Leopard.
