toronto sab because it's such a pretty word i imagine it'd be a pretty city and it has snow and artists, apparently. and thats alright with me 050705 ... no reason toronto? pretty? well, some of it is. they call us the new_york_city of canada. 050705 ... pete while we spend a lot of our time insulting toronto and its sprawl, down town is pretty nice.... though no where near as nice as ottawa or montreal (the only cities i have to compare it to) .. and we pronounce it "tronto" sadly, the city takes an hour going over 100km/h to drive through 050706 ... monkey from t.o. http://www.puremango.co.uk/showme/popup.php?ent_id=111 050706 ... no reason she moved here and "[is] looking for a place to live and a job." i read "am looking for a place to live and sob." i pronounce it toronno. who really needs the last T? 051015 ... dipperwell I pronounce it tronno. Would any tronno skites like to get together and have brunch at the Cafe Crepe across from the CityTV building? 051015 ... tornto_totoro I loved toronto the 2x I visited. Although I was thoroughly unprepared for what happens when the LeaFs (not Leaves, apparently) win a game. I was walking home and suddenly everyone went nuts. It was kind of neat though. A lot of cool bands come from Toronto too. I pronounce it Turanna, like Turanna Sultana from 'Faster Pussycat, Kill Kill' 051118 ... no reason i don't know, maybe it's not so much that i miss toronto, but i miss torontonians and torontoness. 061028 ... no reason what? no. toronto is tired. 071001 ... no reason i'm never good at handling fall_here i wish i could just pick up and leave 071008 ... no reason i just don't have any energy or will to do/be anything here and i love getting out of it "the city wears you down" 071019 ... no reason i have a feeling i will end up saying goodbye 071019 ... . This town dont feel mine I'm fast to get away Far Far Away And I don't care where Just far Away. 071020 ... no reason maybe i just needed a break maybe cities are just cities 071231 ... pete cities are just cities, but in my experience different cities have different flavours. while toronto makes me nutty others, like ottawa, have a more relaxing effect 071231 ... past right downtown the scale is off, it doesn't feel right, as if the sky is closing in. i could only see two stars out tonight, which was sad. but so far i've found good food and nice people. my lodgings are more than i could ask for. minus one day on my week long trip 080421 ... ever dumbening met a girl from ~ today 080421 ... past got lostish the other day and found myself facing the tsx and all the evil that fills such an institution almost crushed my historian's soul. i fought back and found a nice little japanese place for dinner, and now i have to figure out how to get to a country/folk show! 080424 ... no reason go to osgoode station and walk west, or take a streetcar west on queen :) 080424 ... no reason actually, that's assuming i know where you're coming from, which i don't. but i like to assume! 080424 ... names toronto girls are snobs. 080424 ... past went south on spadina :) walking, of course. the toronto girl i met tonight was anything but a snob. completely quirky, but welcome and nice and sweet and with that kind of humour that i appreciate warmly. of course i'll probably never see her again, though she's the kind that'd be a skite. p.s. how do you live without stars? 080424 ... Mel is adam there? 080424 ... Mel is adam there? 080424 ... no reason i guess we travel to places with visible stars, and then we're all the more amazed by them. maybe i should go to cottage country... 080425 ... past it was a good visit, we should definitely try to meet up the next time i go, which probably won't be til the fall. although i didn't use transit at all during my visit (i rarely use it here either), i'm happy i dodged the walkout last night. 080426 ... no reason i am very not thrilled about that. first of all, there was a big article in the paper about how they had settled and the ttc workers had received a pay raise, so we were relieved that it had been worked out. second of all, it's really ridiculous and unsafe for transit to strike at midnight on a friday night (or on any night, for that matter). i can't imagine how many people would have been left stranded. finally, i had fun downtown plans today and tomorrow that have both been cancelled. blarg_and_a_half. i'm glad you enjoyed your stay, though. you definitely came at a good time. we definitely should try and meet up next time, and i also have family in ottawa so i go there sometimes. i'll let you know the next time i'm there! 080426 ... fucking ttc "if you want $30/hour - go to university". 080426 ... past i'm back in toronto-ish. based up near canada's wonderland and going across the southwest of the province. i have a lovely view of highway 400 (i think?) out my window. 080526 ... niska madonna - oct 24. worth the $350. this may be the last time she's on the stage... also, it's a nice excuse to play in canada, even if only for a weekend. 080526 ... suicidalchinadoll the lack of stars has made it difficult to write. I grew up with mountains and splashes of night lights. toronto is good for self-imposed solitude however. pete, I never told you I moved to Toronto. if you come to stay for a while, you should tell me. 080526 what's it to you? who go blather from
