So I'm driving along Blossom Hill today and this Civic comes up from behind and speeds right past me, easily going 80 mph on this road. I'm sorry, if the 60 mph I was driving was not fast enough, something is very wrong.

I went to Sweet Tomatoes recently and there was a sign on the cash register which claimed that they will no longer accept expired coupons any longer. Whoa, they accepted expired coupons? Those coupons from a few years ago could still be honored? What's the point of having expiration dates on them in the first place?

So those Star Wars DVD's came out and I'm just shocked at the changes, including placing Hayden Christensen in the final scene of Return of the Jedi. I still insist that casting Christensen was the worst mistake Lucas made in making the prequels, but updating the graphics in the original is one thing. Changing a memorable scene is quite another.

Lucas claims that in the future, a newcomer should watch the six episodes in order, instead of the last 3 first and then the first 3, like the rest of us did. I strongly disagree. Reserving judgment on the upcoming third film, how can you appreciate the Star Wars series when you have to sit through the worst two episodes of the series?

This from the Mercury News today:

The SJSU athletic department released a new attendance figure for last weekend's home opener against Morgan State: 10,411. After an official audit, the university found that student tickets were counted twice in the announced crowd of 11,360. There were also about 50 counterfeit tickets used for admission.

San Jose State can only attract 10K for football for its opener? Last year, Cal attracted football crowds as low as 25K and people were panicking. No wonder people want to get rid of it. Admittedly, the opponent was against a relative unknown from a lower division, but still.

Student tickets were counted twice? Maybe they should've counted them 3 or 4 times. It would probably still be 10K, anyway.

Counterfeit tickets? To a SJSU football game? That's lame. I really hope they were free. Actually, that wouldn't help. Students already get in free and they still don't go.
