We went for all you can eat sushi at Top Gun in New West for Maryanne's neice Lea's birthday. There were only about 7 of us so it was nice and small. The food was pretty good, but Top Gun is not one of my favorite places for sushi. I really like Shabusen for all you can eat sushi. They have all you can eat Korean bbq on the weekends too. Maryanne's brother Michael was nice enough to pay for everything, which I thought was extremely nice and much appreciated! We had a talk about how in the Filipino culture it is custom for the person who is having the birthday to pay for everything. Quite different from the Canadian culture whereby the birthday person just sits and takes whatever everyone buys for them! Good thing that didn't come up for Maryanne's birthday when there were 17 of us eating bbq at Insadong.
After sushi we went to Metrotown in Burnaby because Maryanne (decided to now refer to her as MJ as Maryanne is long to type and MJ is a good nickname to have) needed to pick something up. Rather than running in and out quickly due to the absurd amount of people that were there we decided to stay to watch a movie. We watched "Zack and Miri Make a Porn". I've been on a Kevin Smith kick over the last little while because I just read his book. The movie had its funny moments and was pretty entertaining throughout. I wouldn't say that it is even close to the quality of his other movies but that being said, this movie is new for him in that he did not reference any other films whatsoever. I think I liked it overall. It will go down as a movie that contains the word "fuck" more times than most films. What was a little weird was seeing Jason Mewes in another role than his usual Jay. He was pretty funny. He looked crazy thin. All I kept thinking about was Smith's book and the part about Mewes being hooked on heroin (we're tight, i can address them by last names only).
After the movie was a quick prescription pick up at London Drugs, which never is as fast and easy as it should be, then we did a grocery run as is the norm on Sunday nights, to get ready for food for the week. Every Sunday it's a fight with my brain to try to think of things that I can make for lunch during the week. I swear that since getting a full time steady job one of the biggest tasks I face is deciding what to eat for lunch. It consumes so much of my morning and evening. It's a serious issue. I'd like to take this time to thank Quizno's for being so close to my work.
This week will be pretty busy. Monday night I'm playing floor hockey somewhere in Langley, Tuesday is floor hockey at work, Wednesday is the Lenny Kravitz concert and I'm leaving out something I need to do Thursday night. It'll come back to me.

Hey Dennis. I'm reading your blog now! Haha, now I can keep tabs on you and Maryanne! And can I just say that I can totally relate to the finding food for work lunches thing. It's such a huge hassle! I used to sometimes eat less at dinner just so I could take leftovers in to work the next day. Probably one of the best things about my job in Korea is the school cafeteria lunches... even on days that we're served some kind of funky fish stew I'm thinking, well, at least I didn't have to make it myself!
