Can't you send an Uber your way via the app? You don't call them from the street, right?

Currently at Davisville and it says no nearby Ubers. I'm hoping that the trains start running by the time I hit Summerhill
Apparently a dog or something is involved at Davisville. Jesus Christ why today why now
Wow fuck the TTC, jesus christ. Good luck man. Shit is nasty when it happens.
There isn't even any snow on the ground.
I love (read: hate) shift work sometimes. This week - tonight - I have to work from 4pm to midnight, then I have to basically get home, shower then sleep almost immediately to be awake enough for a shift that starts at 9am tomorrow, which means I usually wake up at 7am.
Also I just started 2 jobs at about the same time to scheduling is gonna be so much fun to figure out.

Dog at track level. Hopefully this shit is sorted out before I leave.

This is me. Most of my friends start work at 10-11am so they have no problem staying up till the wee hours then sleeping in till 1 or 2. I can't do it and feel like I've wasted the whole day since I get up at 5am for work everyday.
Went to bed at 430am Sunday morning after an xmas party and got back up at 8am Couldn't stand sleeping in any longer.

Guess what guys I'm on the subway and we've been stuck at St Clair for 15-20 minutes.

I killed that exam, so easy. But then on the train back I got stuck at Davisville for like 10-15 minutes, as the train slowly crawled towards Eglinton. Just... Well, fuck you too TTC. No notice, no alert, just general TTC bullshit, at least I was stuck in a place with phone signal. God I just want to crawl into my bed and die now

Geez...you know you're tired when you try to open the front door of your house with a subway token...
Kuro lives in a TTC subway station confirmed. It all makes sense, really.

That's be the only way I'd get to anywhere on time...

I'm the same way. It's on and off. On a lot of nights I'll be tossing and turning every 20 minutes. On weekends it goes away for the most part. I'm sure it's something in the back of my nagging mind.

I do a thing in the early morning where I mistake my building entry key-card for my metropass, swipe it, get bodied in the gut by the turnstile, and then realize "wait fuck what the fuck am I doing jesus"
Toothpaste on the shaving razor is my sign to play less Xenoblade and get more sleep.
I've put shampoo on my toothbrush before. That tasted bad
You would be so fucked if you had a razor that takes double-edged blades or a straight razor (absolutely fucked).

Hateful Eight 70mm tix are up! Just got mine.
Only 4 theatres in Canada have the 70mm version (one in Toronto, one in Vancouver, two in Montreal), which is ~6 minutes longer and features alternate cuts, and overture, and an intermission.

This makes me scared but I don't know why. Someone who's smarter/more knowledgeable please tell me I'm just crazy and this won't lead to anything terrible

Who didn't see this stuff coming? With "tap off" I can see them moving towards distance payment also.

And nothing will happen until a gigantic expose exposing everything bad about it and it gets media attention comes to light because Canadians are pretty passive until something smacks them in the face.
What...?
These companies own and run the media...?

Fuck...

Everybody who likes or is interested in classical music should check out this site:
http://tsoundcheck.tso.ca/
Toronto Symphony Orchestra will release greatly reduced price tickets ($16) about a week before their concerts for people between the ages of 15-35. The great thing is that you can bring a friend, and only one of you has to be in that age range. I've seen five of their shows that way and it's a great show each time. The only downside is that your exact seating is somewhat up to chance because they are just selling leftovers. However, it's still possible to get awesome seats. The only place I've seen that is consistently unavailable is the centre mezzanine.

Count me in. I hate winter.
Unfortunately a winter with a late start usually means it hangs on far too long.

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.
Are they? I thought of them more like TV "reporters" - just presenting the information they've gotten from other sources.

I bought a new winter jacket which is actually unreasonable to wear now unless I seriously just wear a thin shirt underneath. Bless and damn you El Nino!

Someone was telling me there was gonna be snow? Good to know more warmth.
Nobody cares if you don't like it.
Probably some warm weather hater just trying to feel good about himself. Revel in this weather man. In fact, tell him to go to Edmonton, it feels like -19 there right now. Go son!

I'm fine with that.#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:
Kuro is way ahead of the game, leading his people.
Honestly though, this has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with El Nino and reverse polar vortex this year. After the last few bone-chilling, ice-encrusted, -45 degree frost-quake enducing shitty fucking winters, I will revel in this as long as I can.

This is fine. It isn't such a bad way to go. At least I'll be in comfortable shorts and a short-sleeve shirt instead of freezing my ass off miserable and cold
