Twenty percent it is! It's going to be $17 to take off the old acrylics and manicure the actual nails underneath, so another $4 should cover the tip.

YAY Shrift. Good luck!

I wish I had a burrito. And a space heater.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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 was going to post this!

I feel bad regarding the strike for buffistas who will be laid off (though, maybe it will be ultimately beneficial) but I am kind of excited to find out what the networks and studios do! Is it going to be crazy game shows all the time?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love this post on Metafilter about the WGA strike.

HI-larious!

All the, "Great! I hope it kills tv which sucks and never has anything good!" posts make me @@~forever.

I find it interesting... I know that reality programs are "unscripted", but isn't there someone writing some kind of copy for them? Voiceovers, or something? I'll eat my hat if Ryan Seacrest does all his little intro snippets on the fly. Are those writers not unionized?

One of the articles I read, Aillean, said that reality shows use a lot of non-guild writers.

That's one of the issues they're striking over, Aillenne. They're claiming that the producers are ignoring the rules.
