The last two days have been sort of crummy because the plumbing at my house got backed up. The plumbers said that I may have to replace the pipes that run from my house out to the main sewer line. That will cost some money to do.
Since Sunday, Jennifer and I have been slumming it downtown at the Stephen F Austin hotel. You know it's fancy because they don't have vending machines anywhere, and they charge you $3.50 for a can of coke out of the "minibar" in your room. Since we were already shelling out the big bucks for room and plumbing, we went out and drank beer instead. For 50 cents more, I'd totally choose beer over a soft drink.
But the plumbing is working again, and hopefully will continue to work for a few more years. And I have just finished disinfecting the entire bathroom. After the plumbing problems, it was important to get out the lysol and clorox.
Wheee!
What's your method for calculating a tip?
for standard tip* (20%) i take the total, double it, then move the decimal over to the left one place. for example, $15.78 x 2 = $31.56, then move the decimal over to come up with $3.15 for 20% tip. come on, didn't we all learn this in like grade school?

I suspect this is a common phenomenon, as the internet becomes a larger factor in taste-making and trend-setting. It's quite easy to find 'related' information about a band, or to read about their influences, so discovery happens in larger 'chunks' of new music.
And then, once you've got a nice-sized chunk of new music to digest, you're content for a while. Eventually you get hungry again and start foraging for something new...
