Misc.

The UAE Desert Challenge finished yesterday, with my Galois-smoking customer surprising me by a) not dying, and b) not coming in last. I know he's a pretty good driver, but he has never participated in any kind of rally race before. He's also fifty something, and I had supposed that the insanely hot UAE desert would make short work of his chain-smoking, wine-swilling butt.

Here are the race results. What are 'road penalties'?

=============================================================

Bummer. The movie Serenity will not be shown in theaters in Taiwan. The series was kind of cool (Thanks AJ). The director, Joss Wheden, is the same guy who did the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. I've never seen that show, and don't think it's ever aired in Taiwan. Anybody got the DVD set?

=============================================================

Local: Bonita Senorita, Styx, A place owned by Belgian Chris will be (re)-opening down the street from PJ's. I predict sausages.

It aired on Star World, but I never got into it because it was already season 6 or whatever.

Oh, and why the hell can Taichung have 4 - 6 Indian restaurants but no Mexican place?

I'm envisaging sit-down meal with bar - beans and rice with every order. Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas if possible. Tostados.

Cooking the beans only means getting up early.

Why can't we just import some Mexicans and get this DONE.

Yes, I've been visiting the burrito blog again.

Because we're closer to India?

Maybe we should talk to one of those big U.S. chains- Casa Gallardo or Chi Chi's about franchise opportunities. You cook, and I'll do QC on the tequila stocks.

Brian, Red A is talking about Star World's airing of Buffy, which I have never seen but am kind of curious about now. We've got the Firefly DVD set making the rounds here in Taichung now.

I got the info about Serenity not being shown in Taiwan from this site.

Buffy ROCKS. Best show on television -- EVER.
