So, y'all know how Sars of TWOP and Tomato Nation fame said that if her readers raised whatever amount of money for donorschoose, she'd dress up in a tomato costume and dance around in Rock Center? Yeah, today's the day.

I went to Burritoville instead of Chipotle, and there was no line at all! And they have better salsa!
I love this post on Metafilter about the WGA strike.

I've been meh on Burritoville when I've gone there. But really, I'm always searching for the Burrito Brothers I knew and loved when I lived in DC.

I've got an appointment to get my acrylic nails taken off (two of them popped off yesterday) and my own nails manicured after work. Do I tip the manicurist, and if so, how much?

Yay shrift!
I think I eat better breakfasts on the Atkins diet than otherwise. Today was eggbeaters seasoned with dill, facon, olives, and a wedge of Roaring Forties blue cheese.
Then I went to the park for my first 3 mile walk/jog since early summer, and neither collapsed wheezing nor took unusually long to complete the route. I believe I may reward myself by using up my full daily carb allotment on a BLTBBQ shrimp sandwich. (Not as indulgent as it sounds, as that sandwich will do for two meals and let me spread the wheat out to a slice of bread per.)

Yes, 15-20%. But that's what I tip everyone. Actually, depending on how cheap the nail place is, I tip more than that -- a $6 eyebrow wax is definitely worth more to me than a $1 tip.

Yes! I always tip %20 for pretty much anything. The math is relatively easy & I don't have to keep different percentages in my head. Of course that doesn't work for tipping baggage handlers ($2 a bag, right?) or housekeeping at a hotel...shit, i'm realizing that I bet we didn't leave a housekeeping tip when I was in NC with my brother & nieces. I was too crazed getting the nieces together.
