Hey, do any of you folks subscribe to Vanity Fair? The first "family portrait" of the cast for the Addams Family musical is going to be in the December issue. [link]

Yes, I want a physical copy of the portrait, so I can put it in an ornate frame and hang it in my cubicle. Don't look surprised.

Robert Pattinson's on the cover! I need to pick that up.

Jilli, it hits the newsstand on Nov 10th. I let my subscription lapse.

Of that issue, the one I want? Oh lord, then there is no way I could bring myself to purchase it. (From what I've heard, he's a very nice young man. But ... Twilight. No.)

He went to my high school.

My brain is exploding. I have no tags.

Heh. Amy, they've been divorced for a while -- definitely they were exes when he was on Ugly Betty.

Fraid so.

I'll pick it up and send you the portrait.

I feel like hammered shit--still. Headache, aches, chills, cough. I really hate being sick.

I'll pick it up and send you the portrait.

I love you!

It's my pleasure to throw myself on that sparkly grenade for you!

I will say that the tipping a penny thing probably doesn't work the way it's intended. Certainly I and most people I knew would react to that, fair or not, by instantly writing you off as an asshole who was looking to cheap out from the get-go. (Um, that's a general you.) OTOH, a 10 or 12% tip is much more likely to be interpreted as a sign of unhappiness.

However, it is not. Apparently, it is almost always interpreted as a sign the person is cheap and a bad tipper.

I don't know where I've been ... Wait, no, I do. Looking at Winchesters.

I just discovered kim chee taco truck. OMG nom. Lunch has taken a new turn.
