buuuuut the DRL doesn't really go Dow ah fuck it
I live around the corner from the 404. I take it south to go to 401 west every morning. Since the beginning of August I think, the 401 west express ramp there has been closed for construction, which means everyone is going into the collectors, which means it is busy as shit every day, and then everyone is trying to move over to the express, causing more build up.
I feel you man.
Sweet. Thanks for the info. I'll check these out.
Even at ~6am it's pretty busy through there, I'd hate to start work later than that. One good thing about where I'm working right now (York Mills Centre) is that I'm there in 15 minutes in the morning.

Will probably go a bit later to trade in Luigi for poke. Lots of copies available I presume?
I got Y because I want a Heracross of my own.
Also gotta say I love the worldwide release, I can admit I tend to check online to see what pokemon are in what area ahead of time before I start. At least for the first few days here you're on your own figuring out what's in what area.
I get those nostalgic feels of the blue/red days when you knew nothing about which pokemon was best and if you missed a pokemon the only way you'd know is if a buddy caught a rare one in a specific area.

My local Future Shop apparently knew nothing about Pokemon. They didn't have any out on the floor when they opened this morning and tried to tell the guy ahead of me that it didn't release until tomorrow. Had to point out that their in store signage said it released on the 12th for him to go pull it out of the back. :/

Factory Direct usually has many cheap unlocked phones. Not sure if I saw a Nexus 4 there though, it doesn't appear to be on their website.

PUSSY, I'D ONLY STARTED THE GAME LIKE 15 MIN BEFORE YOU CHALLENGED ME YOU NUBSTOMPER! YOU FEEL GOOD GANGING UP 5-1?!
Someone should force him to ride yonge during rush hour back and forth everyday for a year.
The construction lately is insane, my commute is over an hour and a half, on average should be 45mins. According to google maps 35mins. All because streets are forced into one lane/detours. People say that there are political reasons behind all this construction.
Just use an exp share. It's now a completely different item.

I stopped by the Xbox One truck yesterday and wow Killer Instinct is so much more fun than I thought it would be (even after reading positive impressions on GAF, I was still skeptical, but no more). A friend and I showed up towards the end and there were barely any people there, so they let us stay on the station for the remaining hour, so we got a good feel for the different characters and had some amazing matches. Plus it let me get a good feel for using the controller for a solid gameplay session, and I'd say the controller lived up to the hype, too.
Now I wish I hadn't gone. I don't want to buy an Xbox.

Hey Meatball
912 Queen St East
The original place was featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives and this new location opened up about a week or two ago.
Service: friendly but inefficient. Their menu is on a chalkboard and the sandwiches are all named so you have no idea what you're ordering, so the cashier has to tell you what each of them are. While it's a nice touch I wouldn't want to go during a busy time cause it would take forever. They call out your name for your order instead of bringing it to you and you also have to put away your own dishes. While I got no problem with this, it's just another example to me that they really need to overhaul how they set this place up cause the customers there were confused
Decor: I liked the benches and the whole set up. The pickled veggies on the wall are a nice touch and seeing the chef right there make the food fresh to order is always a plus in my book.
Food: I ordered the Rodfather and my wife had the Mac and Cheese. We also ordered two lime sodas that the cashier said was homemade. The Rodfather is just a meatball sandwich and I thought it was only ok. The sandwich quickly got messy and I didn't see an area to wash the sauce off my hands. I did like how the sauce wasn't too zesty and added to the meatball instead of overpowering it, but I also felt the meatballs could've used a touch more seasoning. The salad that came with my sandwich was very good and the pickled veggies on it really added to the flavour; I kinda wished there were more in there.
My wife's Mac was excellent on the other hand. A good warm cheesy taste that mixed surprisingly well with the meatballs. I had more of hers than I should have and it makes me wish I had tried the rigatoni instead of my sandwich.
The sodas were ok. The wife felt they were too sour, but I enjoy a good lime drink with sourness.
Overall: We paid 30 for both of us and I give it a thumbs up and my wife gave it a 9/10. It's not a place you should go out of your way to try but a nice place I'll come back to when I'm in the mood for something filling.

I think anyone who is responsible for transit and transportation policy should be required to rotate their method of commuting transportation on a regular basis: car, bus, rail, cycle, and walk. We need more people with an understanding of just how different one's experiences can be depending on the mode of transportation - and where and how far you're coming from.
My commute is an 100 mins+ on a good day. I can't wait until the real inclement weather hits.
I just turned this off, its getting annoying. Nothing is a challenge.

Ford is making robocalls now.
What the fuck is going on in Toronto. lol
Me! 3609-1192-2134

Seriously, who told Ford that this was a good idea?
Or was this something he thought up himself because he saw robocalls in the news a lot?

Playin the pokemonz instead of finishing that PHD.
Yeah, he targeted Ward 43 in Scarborough to tell them that their councilor Paul Ainslie (who just quit his executive committee a few hours earlier) voted against the subway. Ainslie changed his mind because he thought LRT was the better option.

Indeed. lol
Yeah. lol
This is such strange thug politics. Maybe I just never paid attention during the Lastman or Miller eras, but this just seems so unprecedented.

For a Toronto mayor, it is. These types of calls are equivalent to ten percenters that are pretty common in Federal swing ridings.
If Ford is hell-bent on being a dick, let him. At some point, even his supporters will recognize he's digging his own grave and tire of his inability to work with anyone other than his brother and his lawyer.
At the same time, he does get to legitimately claim that he's brought a substantial three-level investment to transit in Toronto. I may hate to admit it (and I don't entirely agree with the transit priority on which it will be spent,) but that's no small feat. It's points like those that make it hard to hate his mayoralty outright, even if you're no fan of the guy.

Yea fuck him. If the options were Scarborough Extension or nothing, I would choose nothing. The Scarborugh crowd can stay in Scarborough. Fuck, what is next, Pickering subway?
