Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

I figure a 1¢ tip is more likely than a 10% tip to piss off the recipient, which is my primary goal by the time things get bad enough for me to leave a tip that small.

Trust my rage

Apparently, the shooter is still alive; shot several times but in stable condition.

Okay, I'm going to try to watch TV and think about something else.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

NY Times is now saying the shooting suspect isn't dead, he was injured and he's in custody. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have a sausage mushroom polenta faux-lasagna thing in the oven. God, I'm hungry. I hope it comes out well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That chicken pad thai talk the other day got to me and I ordered delivery. Curse you all.

I had Thai delivered also. Got Chicken Pineapple Curry. NOM! And I ordered a Thai iced tea - OMG, came in a huge bucket.

I met my folks for Turkey & Dressing at Dixie Cafe. They've got the good stuff—real roast turkey instead of slices off a deli loaf.

Now I want pineapple curry. But duck. I am so hungry. I'm trying to watch the new season of Spooks, but I can't concentrate.

Ohhhh, duck sounds good. Our place doesn't offer duck.

Now I'm depressed that the one semi-local place that made a fantastic duck saltimbocca doesn't anymore.
