Canada Day Festivities

Just a quickie today, nothing fancy. I saw Erin yesterday for Canada Day as planned. I was surprised because the festivities in Toronto are hardly as good as those in my hometown. Rather than throngs of facepainted people dressed in red and white, all I got was a few overly packed tourists and a few grumpy looking business men. But hey, I guess it makes you appreciate what you have! So with me dressed in my flashy Canada Day shirt and white pants, and Erin dressed in some of her new duds, we set out to China Town to raid the DVD stores. We found a place that sold 7 Japanese DVDs for $20 dollars and excused the illegality of our purchases by repeating to ourselves that the DVDs were for study purposes, and that purpose only. We also rested our feet at Harbour Front, and had our lunch at Subway and enjoyed a drink of bubble tea to quench the thirst brought on by the scorching sun. It doesn't seem like we did a lot but we walked absolutely everywhere, killing a good few hours. I was really glad to catch up with Erin again since so much has happened since I left - in a way I miss living there but I'm sure I can go back for my fourth year of university!

Today, I spent most of my time with my parents. We went to see The Lake House since my mum was interested and my dad is a big Sandra Bullock fan, and I suggested that we go to Big Papa's since I really enjoyed myself that time I went with Trin. The movie was just up our ally (romantic, had a time warp, and Keanu actually ACTED!) and the food and service was wonderful at the restaurant. So yeah...that's all I have to say...and I'm being distracted by the Simpsons, so I'll write later!
