I've got an apartment! (More on this later.)

After I made last night's two entries, I ended up heading over to the Wellesley TTC station. En route, I got a Polish sausage (with mustard and sauerkraut) from a stall on the southwestern corner of Church and Wellesley, staffed by a woman from Plovdiv and winner last year of an award from fab for being such a good stall. I was happy enough that tonight coming from choir I bought another sausage from her. And yes, this one was good too.

The critical fact today, I think, is that I managed to close lodgings. Northwest of the intersection of Queen and Ossington, it's actually fairly small--smaller than my dorm room, actually. Still, it's a room, the house's facilities are well-equipped, there's some very nice cats living about the place, and it's in a very nice neighbourhood. It's good for starters, I think, and besides, how wrong can you go for 400 dollars?

One thing that I keep doing again and again, though, is arriving scandalously late to meetings with fellow LJers. Yesterday I inflicted 25 minutes' tardiness on [livejournal.com profile] schizmatic; today, I inflicted a half hour on [livejournal.com profile] pauldrye. I'm just thankful that he waited for me; I really have to internalize the fact that, yes, city blocks in Toronto are substantially larger than even Kingston's if I'll be living here. We sat down, ate, had a good chat about matters Traveller.

I suspect I'll stay in Toronto until Monday. I'd like to meet with another couple of people, and, well, just bask in the joys of Toronto. So, until next--
