Was there a risk of Toronto fans attacking the bus or something?
Yeah, I had a frost advisory from my weather app. I did hear from somebody that it was supposed to be unusually cold this October.
Oh nice, you went to Japan in September too? How was your trip? Did you also make the mistake of not checking when typhoon season in Japan was? XD
Oops, I missed the point. I saw that too, but I was just wondering about the police escort.
Waaaiiiittt for it. It's not miserable just yet.
To be fair, it's always Kaiju season so at the very least you always run the risk of a Rodan attack.
I'd also be afraid of some kind of attack by monsters trying to attack Sentai. Those things don't FUCK around either
Philippines, I should've specified.
I managed to avoid typhoons until my flight home and my flights got delayed, rerouted, then delayed again. Not a fun flight home.

Happy thanksgiving, peeps!
Braved Uniqlo again today. There was a long lineup when I got there, but I waited less than 10 minutes to get in. Security seems to be doing their due diligence in making sure the lines are as organized as possible. Asian lady in front of me tried to cut further ahead in line where the line turns, but was denied lol.
I picked up the dry stretch sweatpants in the colour I wanted and heat tech long johns.
The heat tech long johns are pretty fucking comfortable. It feels soft and warm, though I can't really test winter conditions right now to see if the warmth holds up. It's pretty thin, so durability worries me a little. On that same note, it's thin enough that I can still wear skinny/slim pants without feeling stuffed.
Gonna pick up more heat tech stuff next time. Maybe when the Yorkdale location opens next week.

Is this Uniqlo location eventually going to get the printed tees? I heard that there was some licensing problem, but that might be BS.
I hope so. I'm chalking it up to Uniqlo being new in Toronto, and wanting to focus on their core stuff first.

They should all get them. What I heard in line from an employee is that it's not the right season or some shit.

I want to buy a new pair of longjohns for this winter. The one I wear now keeps me warm but it's a bit too thick for my liking. Might check this one out if it's thinner.

Do you guys read Berserk?

I've read it all up to this point! Really love it, one of the greatest, though there are a couple of things that slightly sour it for me. You tryin' to get into it?
I've also caught up on Berserk. Very nervous for where we're at currently...
Meetup thread is up! StrangeRobo reminded me of that new place I forgot so we're going there!

Im trying to, but I cant find a place to buy the complete volumes in order. Vol 2 seems to be missing everywhere though I heard there will be a reprint soon.
Azumanga Daioh 4 lyfe
Hairy Tarantula near Dudas Square had a good stock of the volumes when I was picking up the early ones. This was a little while ago, though.
doesn't the library have it?

They sell long-johns at Uniqlo? Shit... I think I need 2 or 3 pairs of those. Been using the same 2 pairs since high school and they're too thick to wear under my jeans now (used to wear them underneath my school uniform pants).
I hope the Yorkdale location relieves some pressure of the Eaton Centre location. At this point the reason why I stopped buying a lot of stuff is cause my sizes are all gone.

li...brary?
Yeah, I'm going to buy a couple more long johns. Maybe a couple of the heat tech undershirts too.
And from what I've seen, they haven't been able to restock their shelves as quickly due to the volume of people in the store. You could probably ask them to pull something from their stock room for you.

I got the TPL'S back.
Yeah. The library. The place where you can get a free membership so that you can take out free books, DVDs, get free online lessons from Lynda.com, and stream Criterion Collection movies from, and you can also use their 3D printer too.
I really need to take advantage of all this though my wife does use the streaming option quite a bit.
Yes, they also post some great tweets.

I never went back to the TPL since I owed them 35 cents when I was 10. Do you think I will have to pay if I go back?
Yes, they also post some great tweets.

Heh. Reminds me of when I borrowed a film when I was at UofT. I was late one day and I got a charge of 20 dollars...
if anyone's interested you can get a buy one get one free coupon for Chipotle over here: www.alovestorygame.com
I'd avoid them, they'll probably arrest you for fee evasion

That opulence...! You live right on the subway line don't you? Could've just went all the way west and then taken a bus for less, no?
When you get to Seattle, you will wish it's $3 like the Light Rail in Seattle.

So I'm in Ontario now (Toronto and a few other cities), and I'm looking to get a SIM card for my iPhone while I'm here for the week. Anything pay-as-you-go like, but with data attached?
If you click "show more" then it gives you a comprehensive list:
https://www.comparemyrates.ca/cell-phone-plans/prepaid/
Apparently WIND has a $35 unlimited everything prepaid.
The cheapest option with any data at all is from Virgin, at $20 and coming with 100 MB of data.
Data offerings in Canada are pretty sad.
It'd be funny if you go back and find out you owe them a ridiculous amount of money. Do they even have limits on how much you can owe them or do they just make you pay for the book?
:edit:
Had an interview yesterday to be a "English Teacher", it was more like a glorified baby sitting job. Got an email early this morning saying I didn't get the job. Kind of thankful I wasn't accepted to be honest, you pretty much have to be super energetic 110% of the time. Fuck that.
I guess you can always decline haha. Have you heard back from any other places?
On jobs, I just applied to one that seems to fit my experience perfectly, but I've heard the stories here so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. I'll have to apply to a lot more.
