One of my friends and I noticed that the street names in the Santana Row commercial/residential complex have similarly-themed sound-alikes:
Coincidence? We think not.
Had dinner at Straits Café—a decent Singaporean restaurant—at Santana Row in San José Saturday night. I’ve been there a few times before and the food seemed below-par this time; maybe I just wasn’t that hungry, having had a late lunch…
Anyway, much to our disappointment—and contrary to the rumours we’d heard—Jackie Chan did not show up.
On TV there are reports that jubilant Iraqis are looting the Baghdad offices of the United Nations.
… or rot in Hell, as the case may be.
A headline on the Fox News Channel reads, “Marines near Baghdad no longer wearing chem suits”.
Well, yeah, maybe now that you’ve let everyone know, the Iraqis will use those chemical weapons!
Dumbasses.
Mailed my state and federal tax returns today.
Hopefully the TaxCut Deluxe software I used didn’t screw up something—I’ve heard one alarming anecdote to that effect. I switched over to H&R Block’s TaxCut software from Intuit’s TurboTax because I didn’t want to deal with the horrible anti-piracy measures that were incorporated into this year’s edition. (I, for one, have never pirated TurboTax or QuickTax, its Canadian variant, in the five years I’ve used the software.) That being said, I found the TaxCut software to be vastly inferior to TurboTax, in terms of ease-of-use and features.
