to conveneI've been mulling over the idea of going to this anime convention in Toronto for a couple months. I know most people are going to be busy with their own stuff this weekend, so I figured I'd strike off on my own to buy stuff and see what there is to see. Which probably isn't much, but it'd be fun just to go and buy stuff. I didn't buy very much at all at the convention in May, so this would kind of make up for it. I guess. So, the plan (after I'd ruled out having a car by now) was that I'd go into Toronto by bus or something on Saturday morning, do the con, and return Saturday night. This seemed sensible, since their were buses going back and forth to Toronto all the time. Except on Saturday, it turns out. The last bus that leaves TO at around six. And that kinda sucks. The train isn't any better, unfortunately. I thought briefly about spending the night in Toronto, but then I remembered that one fateful Thursday night I was stranded there. Hotels are expensive. And I don't have any reason to be in Toronto very long. I've also considered renting a car. This is also expensive, but less so than hotels. I'd have to park the stupid thing, but whatever. I can't convince myself it's worth it, though. So my little adventure seems to have died before it got off the ground. Which is just as well, because it was ill-conceived to begin with. The moral of this story is probably that I should get off my ass and buy a car. Or possibly that I should give up on trying to do these things on my own and try that social networking thing. *sigh* comments:This post is archived. Comments are disabled.
