day off freedom

showed up at the hall for a coach bus pick up half the orchestra for the Chatham run out concert last night.
there was no coach, only a mini airport bus and 3 limousines waiting.
but i saw some orchestra people loading into the minibus, so my carpool and i went to the driver.
he seated us into one of the limos before discovering that they don't have enough limos for people who are still coming.
it was about 15 mins pass our normal departure time when we left London.
ended up with 1 minibus and 6 limos.
it was nicely warm in the car, roomy, and luxurious.
except it was only a luxury sedan, not those stretchy ones.
we still don't know why there was no bus.
heard 2 versions:
1) from our driver - that some 300 odd people got stranded somewhere at a greyhound station so they needed to reroute our bus to transport those people.
2) from others - they don't have enough buses to transport crew and athletes at the olympics, so our bus is on route to Whistler.

either way, i'm totally fine with riding in a limo for a 1.5 hrs commute.
as long as i don't have to pay for it.

today is my day off.
i was looking forward to being a couch potato in front of the tv and maybe catch some of the olympics.
but the hostel is changing from rogers to bell, so all of their digital cable and internet services were cut.
not only i have no tv, i also have no internet.
so i'm now being cold at Starbucks, enjoying a green tea latte and my 3 hrs free wifi.
i wondering when they upgraded from 2 hrs to 3 hrs...?
and why is it always cold at Starbucks, no matter which one u go to???

anyway, gonna go back and watch 2 more episodes of 彊屍2. should've brought more episodes.
and maybe i'll go catch a movie or something tonight.
