Dad look in check, the three of us headed down to the lakefront for some prime Sunday hangouts. Coincidentally it was also the Harbourfront Centre’s Mexico Beyond Your Expectations festival. This meant cultural music that middle class yuppies would go ga-ga over, but also super cheap amazing food stalls (3 tacos for $9). You can never go wrong with tacos and beer.
Great prices, good weather and the lake—pretty sick. Unfortunately we missed all the free Mexican wrestling matches. They have a different “world route” each week, and I think next week is Canada. Don’t really know what they’re going to do there.

Sunday is a great day to do nothing.
Lazy afternoons are best spent on a couch with friends talking about the debauchary that was Friday and Saturday night.
Drinking home made coffee just like when you’re camping, the aroma fills the kitchen and a radio pipes music through the room.
A song comes on that you forgot all about and you fall in love with it all over again.
I wish I looked as suave as Bryan Ferry.

The purple apartment is famous for their “family dinners”. It’s been a while since they’ve had one; at one point it became a staple of every Thursday night, and after stuffing ourselves with good food, we’d head to the Grasshopper for some karaoke fun. Even though the dinners aren’t as regular, I still manage to get invited over for a meal. It’s great fun and we talk and laugh while cooking, preparing home style meals with recipes learned or handed down over time.
Kaitlyn had just come back from a weekend away in upstate New York, and she cooked an awesome meal of burgers, potatoes and a salad for Michelle and me.
We finished the night sipping tea and making fun of cop dramas on TV. When I got up to leave, both Kaitlyn and Michelle were trying to learn the Hoedown Throwdown from Miley Cyrus.
Yes you can steal these photos, Michelle.

Asians suck at driving*, but some of us have that sixth sense of a bargain. Elena and I spent most of our Sunday walking through aisle upon aisle of “legit” goods at Pacific Mall, and then had an awesome Korean lunch. Before chowing down on rice and what have you, I managed to purchase 3 DVDs for $10!
The whole affair was a bit sketch. After looking in about five different stalls, I realized that the shelves weren’t stocked with any Hollywood movies. Finally, a woman told me that we can rent films, but she also had copies of whatever was for rent–for sale. SNEAKY BASTARDS*. The catch was that we had to go in the back and look at the list–in the Adult DVD section. So there we sat; on the floor, huddled over this “rental list”, and surrounded by an El Dorado of porn. Sigh.
As much as I wanted to to buy “Fuck My Mother and Me #5″, we settled on “Mongol“, “Mama Mia!”, and “Step Brothers“. 3 for $10 guys. 3 for $10.
*I am Asian, so shut up. The parking lot was a war zone though.
