Damn You Airlines

As pirates everywhere say, "Arg!" Airlines confuse me to no avail. I mean really is it necessary to have different prices for the same flights every week? I'm trying to get a good idea what this trip to New York is going to cost, but every time I go to check prices they're different. Damn them. The trend this week has been up. Up about $75 for a return flight to New York from Toronto making the current lowest price I can find Expedia's offering on CanJet at $296 per person. I swear, the same website had flights for the same days at lower than $250 on the major airlines. So unless this is cyclic and the prices go back down, Melissa and I will be left with little option but to risk the 12 hour bus trip (which is still a steep $200 each). Yeesh. New York also seems to be a haven for expensive accommodations. Even a lot of hostels charge upwards of $50 a bed in a dormitory style room (8+ strangers in a room). I really want to make this trip as cheap as possible, so as long as Melissa is good with it, we'll be staying in some hostel somewhere.

Speaking of big city adventures with Melissa Martins, I'm visiting her tomorrow for some shopping and fun in Toronto. She apparently wants to buy some pumas. I've wanted pumas for a while, but I'm not so sure anymore. They really aren't very retro-punk, and that has been where I've been concentrating my image lately. Yeah I know... I'm vain. The song is about me. What I do want to buy, and what is definitely retro punk is a black and white striped shirt, the kind the Ramones used to wear (Pirates, and French Sailors wear them too). Maybe if I can find one I can get myself a pair of Ramones style jeans... tight yes, but also "So hot right now" as Paris Hilton and Melissa would say.
Keep on Trangling,
