So my connecting Air Canada flight from Chicago O'Hare to Toronto was delayed again and again until it went from 4:50 PM EST departure to 12:50 AM EST departure. Now I'm at Pearson, am basically spending the night here as I arrived at 2:20 AM and need to shuttle downtown in the morning to catch the 7:15 AM to Waterloo in the morning. Fun.

God I hate Chicago right now.

Question fellow Torontonians!

My friends and I just had our Summerlicious plans cancelled due to the restaurant we picked's apparent suckage. Any recommendations for Summerlicious? I know a lot of places really bring down their quality control during Summerlicious, but are there any exceptions? We've already been to Canoe and Pangea before.

Which restaurant?

I'm going to Wildfire

We were going to Starfish Oyster Bar but it doesn't look to promising.

 

[BigJonsson]

Lame



What else were you interested in? I have a buddy who knows restaurants

 

[Divvy]

Oh I dunno, we're up for anywhere that's good. Doesn't really matter so long as we aren't going to get the throwaway stuff just because it's Summerlicious.

 

[Appleman]

I'm pleased to work (and soon live at) Yonge & Eglintendo.

I'm a fellow Yonglintendian, live in West End though, so it's a bit of a commute.

I hear that........Wildfire has steak so I assume its safe for Summerlicious.....

Hmmm, I'm always up for steak. Wildfire it is!

I am doing everything in my power to be able to live around there. That or La Vie En Rosedale.

 

[Divvy]

Haha I live on Abercrombie and Finch. I don't know how to feel about this.

 

[Oppo]

Guys, when is it going to fucking rain again?

Our weather has been like LA for about 10 days now, no end in sight, and frankly its a bit boring.

Better be on the weekend. Don't want to deal with rush hour traffic and rain at the same time.

Ford is going to be a terrible mayor for Toronto.

One of his first moves after election was proposing to close most of the homeless shelters, getting rid of 40,000 homeless shelter beds.

This is probably one of the ways he figures he can pay for giving suburban commuters into Toronto their $60/year car tax cut.

 

[Zombie James]

Ford is going to be a terrible mayor for Toronto.

Already is.

 

[Zzoram]

Already is.

What I hate is how the suburbs decided the mayor that will have the greatest impact on downtown Toronto, which voted overwhelmingly against him.

 

[Stet]

It's Mike Harris's fault for amalgamating people who didn't want to be amalgamated.

 

[BladeWorker]

It's Mike Harris's fault for amalgamating people who didn't want to be amalgamated.

Blaming Mike Harris no longer works.

Just ask Dalton McGuinty.

Which makes me mad, but i'll save that for the inevitable Ontario election thread.

It's gonna be a fun October.

 

[Roto13]

I'm going to write on the side of my building and call 911.

 

[BladeWorker]

I'm going to write on the side of my building and call 911.

And then write an article for the Star about how cops getting dispatched to graffiti 911s is drawing resources away from more harmful crimes, like stabbings and shootings.

 

[Zzoram]

I don't know much about the Fall election but I heard that Hudak was polling well ahead of McGuinty in advanced polls. After 3? terms, there is probably McGuinty fatigue.

Fucking embarrassing. This is what happens when U.S. style conservatism tries to work it's way into Toronto. Cutting funding for extremely useful social events just so he can say he's cutting out 'the fat'.

 

[Roto13]

If he wants to cut the fat he should begin with his daily breakfast steak.

So I get the impression that he is going to be ineffectual as everyone is voting against him.

 

[Stet]

Blaming Mike Harris no longer works.

Except in this case, it really is entirely Mike Harris's fault.

 

[Zombie James]

Not to turn this into an overly political thread or anything, but I just had to post this:

If I were them, I'd take a lane every single day until Ford gets kicked out.

Also, this:

Fuck this idiot.

haha what a joke. Even his supporters in council know better than to vote with him.

 

[crimzonflame]

Im planning on getting an apartment in the Main and Jarvis area. Anyone have any info about the area?

Thanks to this thread for letting me know about AnimeXtreme. I found a DVD I've been looking for for ages, and I was able to get it at a fairly cheaper price.

I'm not a huge Anime fan, so I was really more weirded out with the stuff than excited. The employees were also quite nice and helpful.

Any theatre geeks that are attending Fringe right now should know that The Godot Cycle is in hour 46 of a 54-hour marathon of two actors performing Waiting for Godot in an improvised theatre space in the parking garage of Honest Ed's. The final performance will end at or about midnight.


If you can't make it, though, you can watch the live webcam: http://www.ustream.tv/channels/thegodotcycle/

(They're in an intermission right now, but will be right back with what I think is their 24th consecutive performance.)

Popeye's Chicken yo!

Damn its hot today

Not just today, what the fuck has been up with the weather, holy crap. If I go out to see a girl, I'd prefer it if my underwear wasn't soaked through with sweat.

29 degrees on Tuesday? Finally, some respite.

With the humidex it'll still be in the mid-30s so it'll still be horrible.

Looks like I'll be missing a very hot/humid week when I leave for the Azores Tuesday night.

I long for October...

Seconded. It wasn't fun coming home from a weekend away to an apartment without power. Holy crap, it was almost 50 degrees inside.

I don't think those streets meet man.

I am so over this heat. Bring on the snow.

 

[Firestorm]

I went to a Starbucks until my laptop batteries ran out.

 

[NetMapel]

I went to Toronto for like a week last week and it was hottt. I miss the sun because I am now back at Vancouver where there is no sun or heat at all this summer =_=

 

[Quick]

I'm finally home. Seriously, fuck this heat. I spent the day walking around downtown, and that was a terrible idea. I think I lost weight from all my walking and the sweat I gushed out.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

I went to a Starbucks until my laptop batteries ran out.

I've been doing that for a while now. Plugging it in to stay even longer!

I'm out of the city for a week, and this happens? Holy shit.

 

[Zombie James]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates this heat. Sometimes I feel like I'm the weird one when you're doing 20kph on the highway and the radio personalities keep talking about how "fantastic" and "perfect" this weather is. They're fucking crazy, along with everyone on CP24 and CityTV. CBC gets it: OPPRESSIVE.
