A freakish storm swept through the GTA yesterday afternoon. At around 4pm, my boss and I were chatting, then all of a sudden, my boss exclaimed: WTF! The sky turned uber dark and 5 minutes later, the winds and rain picked up. The winds were so strong that the you can see sheets of rain flying by, similar to what you see on TV with hurricanes. An hour later, the sun was out again!
During the storm, my neighbourhood suffered some damage. The power was out due to downed power lines (didn't get power back until 12 hours later - 4am). A decent sized tree had toppled at a property several houses down from mine, crushing some dude's backyard fence in the process. Fortunately, it was only his fence and not his house. -_-;
Since the weather was so nice outside in the evening - the sun was out, the air was crisp and fresh - a lot of people were out strolling through the neighbourhood. Kids were out in full force - in their bikes, playing pick-up hockey, etc. I haven't felt this overwhelming sense of civic life in so long. Had hot pot for dinner, since only the portable gas stove worked. And yeah, I missed both HEROES and 24. :(
Sorry to worry some folks with my lack of online presence. Contrary to popular belief, I had a blackout - I did not get blacked out!!

Heroes was awesome.
The weather this year has been really strange across the continent.
I've heard from many people today that the new Heroes episode was good. Thanks for rubbing it in! :D

If you are serious about not knowing what this is, you can thank me later =D.
I did use bt to get other series though. Man, I can't even remember what that anime torrent site was called... Tokyo something? Don't know if it's still around.
It went down for a while but has been back and strong for at least 6 months now.
The idea of One Piece from IRC makes me cry ='(.
and how could we play games without BT =P
I'm surprised that Tokyo Tosho is still alive and kicking.
Looking back over the past year or two, I'm a little shocked at how rarely I've used BT. Not enough time, sigh.
