Wore my summer dress and open toed sandals. Livin this week upppp
My UPS guy is perfect. Comes around 6ish but I live in an apartment and he always makes the effort to actually do his job and deliver it to my door rather than just leave a pick-up notice in the mail like Canada Post does every single time.
I missed last year's new years eve because I went home to Vancouver and I'll do it again this year. I should probably stay once but my friends told me there were just some fireworks. Maybe other people have more information.
Interesting. I guess you can't have everything. Ah well.
Well that was a fun fucking commute. What is wrong with the TTC? They are well overdue to change up the management.
What really grinds my gears is there were very few delays or issues during the Pan Am games, but not too long after were back to the same shit. So it is possible to run well, but I guess taxpayers aren't a priority compared to precious athletes.

Unfortunately, it seems Team Winter will win for the meet up. Still, we'll have a few nice WARM days until then.
I can't speak for Purolator or Fedex but UPS has always been pretty good for me. They usually arrive just after 6 and use the buzzer. The only thing that annoys me with UPS is if I'm not home, the pick up locations are all over the place and never in the same location.
I have a package coming by Fedex soon so I'll see what they are like.

Heh. Signal delays out of Vic Park. I just leave early now cause I'm not sure it's management's fault; the TTC as a whole sucks.

Last year November under Harper we had a snowstorm and -10C. Now with Trudeau it is 20C and sunny. Already doing God's work, bless his heart.
Bruh I was there. Show was greatttttt. And Travis Scott killed it. Fucking love Travis.
We were seated in section 312 but then got in to section 109 lol

I'm in a now prove it to me mode for Trudeau. He made a lot of promises and I hope he keeps them and we didn't just vote him in to oust Harper.
Super glad for this weather though.

Be prepared to pony up that cash.
Check out BlogTO for the best restaurants serving each type of food.
Eaton's Centre downtown. But its the most pricey and crowded. Still.
Blue Mountain for Winter stuff, Wasaga Beach for Summer.
Its only bad during the Summer. Gets very humid and nasty.
Toronto people are okay overall. But I've definitely met nicer in other areas I've lived in.
North American? Its crowded and hectic. Sometimes relaxed but mostly hectic.
Haven't lived in Van, no idea.
IMO, clubbing here is overrated. People aren't relaxed here enough. Guys look for fights, girls are defensive. I took the same social skills I have to England and met girls at clubs all the time. Also, Guvernment closed down. And all the clubs constantly "re-invent" themselves because they become boring and stale.
Posh places? Also overrated. As a lawyer I get dragged to them often. Can't stand it. Posh here really means over-priced and watered-down alcohol. Oh, and lots of places that like to portray themselves as fancy--Brassai, for example--but are really the same as any other club.
If you truly want fancy then go to the lobby bar of any high-priced hotel (ex. Hyatt).

I've always been fascinated by PC gaming but as I age I don't like having to spend time tinkering with settings and such. Being able to use an Xbox controller seamlessly is a game changer though.
Has PC moved to a more plug and play experience?
I did a quick Google search before posting this, but I don't see my current Xbox favorites like a rare replay, gears collection, halo 5, forza 6, sunset overdrive, on PC. $350 for an Xbox one that will last me for 5 years ain't a bad deal
and E3 deals + trade ins later is pretty good too.What am I missing here? I would assume the PC versions of multi platform games are far superior on PC, especially in graphics.
I can see how this is possible.

PC is totally plug and play. You get an XBone controller and most games will support it. The ones that don't require a mouse anyways.I've always been fascinated by PC gaming but as I age I don't like having to spend time tinkering with settings and such.

PC gaming is vastly different from years ago. Patches are automatic if you're on steam and the only fiddling you might do is if you're into mods. Most every game you can play on console that is also on PC will work as if you're on a console unless the game's name has a combination of Arkham and Knight...
Depends. Do you prefer the cold or the warmth?
They accept me for liking Coors Light.
Everyone is cool, any sort of harassment like that won't be tolerated. We aim to keep it friendly and open for everyone. Please come by!

Hard to believe the meet up is just two days away. I hope you all brought your A game cause Kuro "always second place" Madoushi gonna second place all of you abominable snow people.
Hopefully this time I win something for a console I have.

What's up with the TTC tonight? The 25 bus going south was slow as fuck and there was a huge lineup on Don Mills station on nearly all the bus terminals. I saw this one bus driver get into a shouting match with some queued up passenger on the 85 terminal.
EDIT: Not too late but still pretty weird there's been huge lineups all week.

Huh. That happened the other night too. It was pretty weird walking out there and seeing a bunch of people snake past the door. When I arrived though their bus came pretty quickly after that.

It feels like the TTC is just getting slower each day. It's that or rush hour is finally starting to take a mental toll on me, and I'm starting to notice how bad it actually can get randomly throughout the day. I know the trains run slow at Davisville because I guess the tracks are still fucked and fixing it would mean closing that portion of track for like a month. But for the past week I've had the trains run a lot slower than usual between Bloor and Dundas. There was also a power outage between that stretch on Wednesday I think at 10AM or so.

Went to another Vancouver export today - cactus club @ first Canadian place. http://www.blogto.com/restaurants/cactus-club-cafe-toronto
Really like it. Place was completely packed to the point that there were lineups as if it were a club lol. Drinks are a little pricey though. Other than that, waitresses were VERY good looking. Great spot to go to if you work in financial district.

Hey Toronto-GAF! I'm gonna be in Japan for the next couple of months and I know more than a few of you guys have been there before (Kuro and EM). Any suggestions on places I should visit or places to eat at?
I'm gonna buy some shit at Akiba to give away for the next meet-up cause I love you guys that much.

Honestly, I never had a bad meal there in my two trips and 3 weeks spent. You will not be disappointed.
If you want an experience for sushi try one of these places:
Sushi Kanesaka, Sushi Saito, Sushi Mizutani, Jiro Sukiyabashi, Sushi Yoshitake, Sushi Sho, Sushi Sho Masa, or if you want to a relatively problem-free experience, try Sushi Bar Yasuda - he speaks English fluently and he takes email reservations so it's easy to set up. I want to try Yasuda next time I'm there...last time I went though, I went to Kanpachi, which was pretty awesome too.
You shut your drunken cold icicle sucking mouth!
You dirty winter loving son of a...
We ate on the cheap the entire trip, basically just popping into any small establishment we could find, so I'll leave the food recommendations to Kuro.
If you're looking for games, figures, etc, in Akihabara is great because of the number of shops in the small area, but I'd say it's also worth checking out Ikebukuro (A massive Bic and Yamada Denki, a Super Potato, numerous arcades, manga stores, Bookoffs in the area, Pokemon Centre) and Nakano (good to tie in with a trip to Ghibli). They both have many shops as well and prices can be (but not always) way lower than Akihabara.
Other parts of the city I enjoyed; Asakusa / Senso-ji Temple, Harajuku and Shibuya for general shopping. You could probably tie Ameyoko into your trip to Akihabara, I think it's worth passing through, or have a larger trip around Ueno, the zoo, etc, if you're interested. Ghibli Museum is worth checking out (book before you go), as it's relatively cheap and very accessible. The neigbhourhood around it is rather quiet, but there are shops and eateries.
The round trip (train there, then bus->boat->tram back to the beginning) to Hakone was definitely worth it. It gave us some of the best photos during our trip and offered great views of Fuji. We just made a day trip of it though, so I can't say if it's worth staying at any of the ryokan in the area. If you're planning on day tripping it though, get there early. Once the sunsets, the views around the mountain on the trip home aren't quite as exciting.

Is it just the bus lines I ride on or are TTC buses supposed to smell like rotten eggs near the back seats?
