That's what I thought, but I'd thought demand would have died off by now so knows.
I feel like Pan Am tourists are spiking demand artificiality in the short term, currently. They're all over the Eaton Centre right now, UT isn't a far walk from there.
Random question: does anyone know of places in TO where you can learn woodworking and practise the craft (mainly using tools) outside of your own home? I rent and don't have a shop/garage but want to do some DIY carpentry but
A) don't have the space to hold tools or work
B) know how to do any woodworking
What's a wannabe handyman gonna do?

Don't know if there are lessons, but it's a makerspace. There are a few of them. Can be pricey though, depending on how serious you are about the hobby of course. (The alternative being buying your own tools lol)
Move to the burbs and use your garage
I think it's just stuff you have to learn on your own or whatever. Didn't take shop back in school (or have one?) Probably have to check if any community centres in your area offer classes or stuff.
If you're planning on making chairs and tables or whatever then you're out of luck unless you maybe just be gross and buy a storage locker as your workshop. I say this because I really don't think you'll find even a Home Depot/Rona close by, or at least one with a (good) lumber section.
Can't remember exactly but in the Hwy7 Leslie to Yonge Areas, there's a bunch of malls there with bakeries. My dad used to buy a fuckton of Japanese Cheescakes, some like almost twice the size as the Uncle Tetsu stuff for about the same price.
IIRC maybe some bakery called Don Don Bakery in the area? Try looking for that I think. Not sure if they make cheesecakes anymore as my dad stopped getting them (or maybe we just stopped eating them). We still get our celebratory cakes there though.

Power out in Thornhill
Kave are you ok
Kave are you ok
It is?
I'm here with all the lights on.
For some reason my part of Thornhill doesn't get hit often by power outages.
But holy shit I see outside.

Gah
Would it be Dong Dong Pastries?
Because I wanna see what the hype is with this Japanese cheesecake thing without having to go downtown and line up two hours for it.

I had t and t Japanese cheesecake and it was pretty bad
Yeah it's way too airy.
No weekend closures for the subway either. These two weeks, we're a world class transit system. Sort of..
See, the transit system has improved already.
So what we need is for the Pan Am games to be made permanent, until we can upgrade to the Olympics and then we make the Olympics permanent.

Not gonna be happy when the Steeles bus is back to normal
Did they ever replace the section of the Yonge line between Eglinton and St Clair that's supposed to shut it down for two months? I could've sworn they were waiting until after Pan Am but I guess it won't be this year either.
In some really bad news, I got a call yesterday that my glorious Summer of Fuzzy is over. I went back to work today.

Which I still haven't experienced because I'm in Newfoundland for another week.

No, Davisville is still slowly sinking into the ground

So.. no more of this..
Well, at least you'll be able to dry those tears with something.
I think the Yonge/Dundas Cineplex shows Asian language films.
Looks like they're showing Forever Young (Zhi zi hua kai) and Northern Limit Line (N.L.L: Yeonpyeong Haejeon).

I haven't enjoyed an Asian movies in probably about a decade, which sucks because I grew up on HK movies and there are some excellent Korean ones and older Japanese ones.

Mid-90s to early-00s was the golden era of HK movies!

The golden era of HK movies is while Jackie Chan is doing Rush Hour movies in Hollywood? Junior Mint, you're insane.
Donnie Yen man. Donnie Yen!

Other than Supercop, never really cared for Jackie Chan movies.
But we should bring that up to early-90s cause I forgot Hard Boiled and Once Upon a Time in China 2 were 1992 movies.
I just love the mid-90s - early-00s because we got really good stuff like Infernal Affairs, In the Mood for Love (the better version of Lost in Translation!), Running Out of Time,
Young and Dangerous
Then again, I probably have different tastes than most HKers since I really hate Stephen Chow movies whereas they seem to be universally loved by everyone else.

Is there still a theater up at the PacMall area?
Not really, and any of the closer places are Cineplexes.
If having Olympics means a real subway/light rail system, then I am fully for it even if it will cost billions.
On the side note, went to two events so far and it is pretty good.

No. The one there is gone.
Somewhat hates Stephen Chow?! D:
I...what is this...I don't even...
For anyone that somehow missed it and / or forget, the meetup is this Friday and here's the thread.

Just went out to Marcel's Bistro this afternoon. This was actually my 1st time trying out Summerlicious and also the 1st time trying french cuisine so, my expectation wasn't too high to start. If you guys have a much better place to try french food, do post some and I will see if I can try out those restaurant.
Well, it's photo time of my trip to my lunch because who care?(taken by my cell phone Moto G....so it look suck).
Well...manage to find the restaurant when I get there.
Quickly found out it's in 2nd floor of the building.
Very quiet when I get into the restaurant. They was only one customer who was there when I went in. Still, it was 1:30pm so, I am guessing the lunch people have already left by now. Still, a bit worry.
Manage to get the window seat by myself. Nice flower and also see the Tiff building across the street.
Bread with a slap of butter and a glass of Rosé dAnjou 2013
Yeah...it's standard bread with a slap of butter....nothing special. The Rosé dAnjou taste fine.
Smoke salmon and cream cheese mousse with fresh herbs wrapped in crepe
Actually liking the taste and texture from this. Wish they is more to tell the truth.
Grilled beef flank steak served with roasted potatoes and vegetables with béarnaise sauce.
Mine was medium cook. It's fine but they're more fat than meat in this steak. Wishthis is a bigger portion to tell the truth and have less fat.
Baba au Rum cake with whipping cream and mixed berry coulis
A cup of coffee to end the meal.
Really, it's a decent meal and it rake up around $34.00 minus the tip. Kinda wish it's a bigger portion but I guess this is Summerlicious and you don't expect to have a big meal at that price. Don't know if I will go back but I guess will go back to try out they normal dinner menu if I ever go back there.

I went there today and they do have the cheesecake, but it was not very good in comparison to Uncle Tetsu's

Cheesecake wars.
I don't think UT is mindblowingly 1-2 hour wait worthy.
Reminder that the meet up is this Friday and Campino and his ringer are going to spare us
I need to move downtown; I miss out on so much. Although all that gorging on all rich food would give me a heart attack. Nice avatar by the way, great manga.

Aside from the ringer being well back in her homeland by now, I will spare you, haha. Fridays are hard to do when I work.Cheesecake wars.

Is Meek Mill someone I should have heard of before right now?
Only if you listen to rap/celeb gossip.
Honestly, probably not.
