IRS: We've got what it takes to take what you've got.

Okay so I have my forms of what I owe Uncle Sam for 2004, and I am also printing out the forms I need to file my 2005 estimated taxes quarterly. The federal taxes are explained really well, but I can't figure out the state ones.

Does anyone know how to calculate the estimated state taxes due for 2005?
Does anyone know how I am supposed to pay for Medical and Social Security with estimated taxes?

I'm also realizing that I have to pay my 2004 taxes and the first payment of my 2005 estimated taxes at the same time. Damn.

Suburbia: where they tear out the trees & then name streets after them.

I've been zipping through my Netflix lately and thought I'd comment on some recent movies I've gotten:

I'm Not Scared - Sometimes I zip through my recommendations and just throw movies into my que. Then I received this in the mail and thought, "I got some Italian flick about some kid stuck in a hole?" Actually, it's a great movie. Read the movie review on the link.

Facing Windows - More along the lines of my recent interest in foreign films; the description of this movie seemed intriguing enough to throw into my que. Wow, it's a GREAT movie. And this guy was HOT (but turns out to be an obsessive weirdo.)

Switching gears, I recently rented Saw. When it came out in theaters, I heard it was really stupid. I couldn't disagree more. It's terrifying and deranged, and has a plot that twists and turns. By the end of the movie I was completely freaked out (which is different than just plain grossed out as is the case with many horror flicks.) The clown in Poltergeist has nothing on this dude.
