Robert Pattinson's on the cover! I need to pick that up.
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.)
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
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.

My experience agrees - every time I've had a server ask me if something was wrong at the end of a meal, it's turned out that I calculated the tip wrong (and was really glad they asked so I could give them more money!)
This has never happened when the low tip was left intentionally. I suspect it's related to the whole "incompetent people don't know they're incompetent" thing.
