I'm liking the warm weather, but it's definitely not normal. I walked my friend all the way to the subway station on Monday night wearing only jeans and a t-shirt.

I'm sure it's pretty terrible for most of the world, but at least it's hella comfortable.

You should be used to this if you lived in Vancouver.

I am used to it, but the thing is here isn't Vancouver.

 

[socksfelloff]

Plus hey I like snow.

You must not drive. Moving down to the city and having to deal with Toronto drivers ruined any sort of enjoyment I used to get out of snow .

Public transit, and the TTC does turn into a shitshow.



But hey, snow's always novel for the first week or two.

 

[diaspora]

I'm glad there hasn't been any snow yet. I could go without shoveling 10 billion pounds of white bullshit.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Now let's see this extended...!

 

[ahdurian]

please snow

 

[shadowkat]

Now let's see this extended...!

But I want snow on Christmas

#TeamSummer in 50 years when the earth is experiencing all sorts of environmental disaster, bringing humanity to its knees and causing massive wars over resources:

so good

and I'll still sleep in pajama pants and a hoody with a blanket

#teamwarm

 

[Divvy]

Laugh all you want, but once shit hits the fan with global warming, we're going to have to take in a lot refugees from Vancouver.

Including that one.

 

[firehawk12]

This month's been the equivalent of it never going above 10 degrees in July. It's not normal and I really don't think it's something we should be happy about. I really don't know why meteorologists on TV are happy about it, either. They're supposed to be scientists.

I assume we're basically due for wild swings for the rest of our lifetimes, since there's no way to stop climate change any more.

 

[Brinbe]

Yeah, we're fine and will benefit from warmer temps brought upon by climate change. It's just the rest of the world that'll be utterly fucked beyond belief.

I'll be over 80 by then anyways so whatever.

Which works out well because the older you get the colder you feel, so we'll need the extra heat.

Team Mild has been fucked for a long time.

Last minute Xmas shopping is going to be the worst. Only have time to shop tonight or this weekend and I know it'll be a driving nightmare and a fight and struggle for stock.

I don't even need to get much - all I need are some Lego sets - but I'm already pessimistic.

If we couldn't sell him on Toronto in the first place, I doubt we'd be able to do it then.

And people don't use global warming anymore, it's climate change. Glorious warm climate change!

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Glorious warm climate change!

We're all going to die!

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

We're all going to die!

So long as I take the winter loving snow people along with me. Worth it.

Also managed to snag that supposed best whiskey from my manager buddy.

My blood sugar...! HNNNGGHHHH!

Try online ordering/pickup at Toys R Us? I've had success with in store pick up by checking stocks online. Plus, they have extended hours if you want to avoid the crowds. I doubt you can find a great deal on Lego as they are very rarely on sale.

 

[Junior Mint]

I've been drinking 3 coffees a day and getting by with 4-5 hours of sleep. I'm so glad the holidays are coming up. Gonna work from home for the entire next week lol.

Facilitating user acceptance testing is the worst.

Heh that commute likely isn't very good either...

I was getting a lot of out of stock hits for what I was looking for. Natch.
And I know I'm not getting any deals on these, I just want to make sure I can find a good set for gifts that are in stock and won't totally break me.

It's a good thing they're too young for some of these, though.
$100 for a Lego X-Wing? Damn, son!

My nephew is crazy for Halo. I got him the megablocks Halo 5 tie in set. They seem to go on sale often.

Going to go blackout mode until I watch it.

Oh wow good thing that was muted in the food court where I watched it. I was wondering why they were spending so much time on Star Wars.

Leaving work early. Who's up for Santouka???

Get the special pork jowl bowl if it's still available.

If you still have room after, Tacos 101 is across the street past Church. I went on the weekend and the tacos are really great. El pastor, and the fish were standouts.

Which o- Oh. THAT one. Right. That's two vague references we're just missing one more to summon THAT

Leaving work early. Who's up for Santouka???

For clarification, the 'good' Santouka is the one on Yonge right? I went to the one on Dundas last summer (yeah ramen in the summer is the best) and was not a big fan.

 

[Junior Mint]

I was pretty full after the ramen, got the double portion of meat. Always preferred the Santouka meat over Sansotei. I feel like ramen needs the thicker, fatty pieces of pork over the thin leaner pieces that Sansotei uses.

 

[Junior Mint]

No, Santouka is in the middle of nowhere a bit east past Yonge Dundas square (who goes past Yonge amirite)

 

[KnightHart]

OOOOH I think I got it mixed up with Sansotei. Yeah I went to Santouka once (also in the summer!) and REALLY liked it but never went back. The wait was always really long.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I see snow. Fuck. #teamwarm ! Do not worry! Warm weather will persevere!!!!

Kuro is like this currently after seeing one snow flake.

 

[cocopuffs]

Fucking TTC man.

Got on the subway at Finch and there's this guy lying down taking up a whole row of seats, conductor comes and tells him to get up. As the conductor leaves, the guy starts vigorously rubbing his crotch. Conductor looks back and the guy says "I was just scratching my legs!"

Got off a couple stops after that so don't know if anything else ensued, but man.

I'm sitting in the theatre waiting for SW to start at my work's private screening. ~45 minutes to go.

How many people get private goddamn screenings

Rest of us plebs gotta wait or get seats waaaay in the front.

My work is pretty awesome. This is the first one of these I've gone to though because they're usually earlier in the morning (10-11am) and I'm too god damned lazy to get up at that time on a Saturday. My brother actually paid the $10 for the Stormtrooper 3D glasses. The only other people with them were little kids. :lol

 

[Sober]

Dammit Fuzzy you should've invited all of us and said we were family. You look ethnically ambiguous enough to pull it off.

 

[Eleuin]

Saw SW at a cineplex vip (19+), first time going with a last minute booking so I had no idea what to expect.

Thought it was actually overstaffed with someone there at every corner. Big lounge area with a full bar.

Reclining seats were nice and they had servers going around before the movie taking food orders on tablets. Didn't order anything but it looked like standard diner fare.

I'd probably only go again on tuesdays as its expensive or if I brought someone with me because I look like a grade schooler who's lost

 

[Quick]

I was at a VIP cinema for the fist time for Star Wars on Friday, and it was actually pretty cool. Food portions/size seem small for the price, but it wasn't too bad.
