Movie chain cuts admission price

No Comments »

Apparently movies are gonna be a lot cheaper from now on:

Famous Players cuts down prices

Never try using Mississauga Transit from Cooksville GO station. I waited 20 min (and this is during rush hour) to get a bus to Square One. I figured since this station was closer to Square One, there should be a bus every ten min or so… but… was very very cold and wrong.

Also I think my nose is frozen and gone to twice its size.

Man-eating Snowblower

The quality of a book can be gauged by the number of times you nearly miss your subway stop.
– Saira; Jan 26, 2005.

Man using snowblower on Bloor St. pavement. Woman coming in the opposite direction. Snowblower decides to flirt. Changes course erratically. Scares the living daylights out of the woman. Man steering it finally wakes up. Saira walking behind snowblower stiffles a laugh unsuccessfully.

Edit: Hypen added per Sameer. Ta da.

Clear Light of Day

Currently (stopped) reading: Clear Light of Day by Anita Desai
Why stopped. Because it is wayy too morose for pre or post workday. I need happy books.
Current Temp.: - 23 C
Current Playlist: Soundtrack of “In Good Company”. Will write review when I get the time. Was … OK.
Also I just realised I am now officially one of those weird people who:
1. Cannot drink hot coffee or tea because I unfailingly burn my tongue every single time
2. Drink various versions of Iced coffee like medicine since those tend to be far too bitter as well. Just to stay awake. arghh. I wish Tim Hortons was closer. I wish, I wish, I wish.

Brrr…

TORONTO::

Current Conditions:

A few clouds

FEELS LIKE -33°C
WIND N 15 km/h
GUSTS
RELATIVE HUMIDITY 52%

In short my hands feel like they’re not connected to my body, the pain is worse than having someone burn you with a hot iron and it feels like my chest is encased in a tight steel band not allowing me to breathe. Arghhhhhh. Darn walking required to get to work and darn standing at the station waiting for a train.
