I just found out that Satoshi Kon’s new film Paprika is playing at The New York Film Festival today at 12:30. If I hopped on the next train to NY, I could maybe get there on time, but it looks like I probably wouldn’t be able to get a ticket, and I’m in the middle of doing laundry anyway. Oh well. I hope I get another chance to see it on a big screen at some point. I’ve seen all his other films in actual movie theaters, and I’d like to see this one in a theater too.

NJ Tax
NJ is now charging sales tax on a bunch of stuff that didn’t used to be taxable. From my perspective, the two most annoying categories are comic books (periodicals) and downloaded music. I notice that massage and tattooing are taxable now too. I don’t think either of those categories is going to be a problem for me.
A9 no more
A9 has dropped their toolbar, the instant reward program, and a few other features. I was never 100% satisfied with their search results, but they were pretty good, and the 1.57% off on everything at Amazon was too good to pass up, so I just kept using them. Without the toolbar or the instant rewards, I’ll be heading back to Google for most of my searching. And switching back to the Google toolbar, of course.
