i avoid the number 4 like a plague...it's a chinese thing.

i check the "yellow calendar" (chinese lunar calendar) for important things (such as wedding dates, moving dates, etc.)

naturally i see more "4"s in my life than anything else since i actively try to avoid it

Do you check the Chinese calendar because the Western calendar says 2004?

no, i check the chinese calendar because it gives you all kinds of superstitious information (some are baseless, but some you should heed).

most of these calendars are free - just go to chinatown before chinese new year and pick one up. however, they're most likely in chinese so it won't help if you can't read it...
