It's not even noon and this day is crap so far. And too damned cold.

ARGH. Shitty day so far. First, I walked to class in the freezing cold only to find out that it was cancelled (same one as Monday; the prof's still sick). Should've checked my Brock email before I left, but forgot. So, walked back to QV in the freezing cold, then decided to set out fish-shopping. Get on the bus, all's fine until I get off at the wrong stop and suddenly I'm trekking 10 blocks in -10 degree weather (ridiculously windy, fortunately not really snowing). Get to the fucking pet store, only to find out that it's closed because the power is out. -__- Guess I should've called before I left, but really, what were the chances? Buses in Thorold suck, so I started trekking again through the cold in the general direction of the #4 bus to Brock, got to a gas station and went inside to check map and warm up, realized I had a long ways to go and didn't want to wait for the Thorold bus to come because I'd have to get that and then transfer to the Brock one (seriously, buses in Thorold SUCK), so called a damned taxi and paid $8 for the 5 minute or so drive back to Brock. Amazing how fast it is when driving. -_- Blah. Fucking Thorold, fucking power, fucking BUSES. Fortunately the taxi driver told me about another good pet store nearby, even offered to drive me there but I just wanted to get home at that point. Will look up that store, then set out another day. Or ask Steph at the meeting tonight if she's still going to buy a fish for her place, cuz I think she has a car.

So. Now i'm inside, warm, irritated, and planning to do very little for awhile. This day sucks. ;_;

there's a pet store just down the hill across from the pen. I dunno if they sell fish though. My friend bought her cat there.

there's all petsmart in the north end. I buy my cat's food there a lot since there are no pet stores in vaughan (what the hell?)

Really? I looked up pet stores on yellowpages.ca and didn't come up with any near Pen. I'll have to take a look next time I'm there.

I'll check with my friend if they sell fishies

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Thanks. ^^ Can you check the name of it, too?

[didds.livejournal.com]

No transit system can be worse than North Van.'s Indian River line.

What meeting are you going to?

[ria-oaks.livejournal.com]

Trust me, it is. Indian River comes every 30 min, right? I dunno, I don't take it usually. But there are only 2 buses that serve Thorold (small city/area of St. Catharines literally across the road from Brock) and one of them (the one that goes from Brock into Thorold) comes every SIXTY minutes. It's crap. The other one's 30 min, but I have to transfer to another bus to get to Brock. Blah.

Meeting? Oh, just the weekly block meetings. shoebox_of_lies and I are the only 2 who ever show up. ^^; But I like getting out and seeing people, even if it's only her and Steph (our block don).

Yeah, but it's one of the shuttle buses that only seat 24 people. They use it because it's a "low-traffic" area, despite the fact that there's a good chance that it will be packed to full capacity during the morning runs. Furthermore, it's never on time: you pretty much have to get there 10 minutes early and expect to wait up to (and possibly more than) 10 minutes after the time it's supposed to arrive. It's really that bad. ;p
