Recap
DH & I had a relaxing weekend. We needed it as we both felt so drained emotionally (attended 2 wakes in 1 week) and mentally (work).
Friday night, we went to North Beach, the little Italy of San Francisco, and ate at one of our favorite restaurants: Calzone's. It's a fun bistro to hang out in on a weekend evening. They make a mean mojito and a delicious calzone.
Saturday: DH volunteered, I did errands at Costco and tidied around the house. In the evening, we went out for Japanese food. We feasted on sushis: tuna, salmon, california, yellowtail and tempura. Ahhh.... gluttony.
Sunday: We watched "The Illusionist" with Edward Norton, Jessica Biel and Paul Giammatti. This is my fave movie of the year so far! I thoroughly enjoyed this slick and stylish romantic thriller set in 1900's, Vienna. It's about a masterful Illusionist who devised a very clever plot to win the heart of his childhood love. It's not all romance -- for the guys, it has mystery, intruige, great magic illusions and scandal... you won't be dissapointed. Throughout the movie, you will ask yourself: what is real and what isn't?
The first 10 minutes of the movie may seem slow, keep watching and you will be lured into a magical tale...
Hope you all had a fun weekend!
Question of the day: What is your favorite weekend hangout?

I wanted to see the Illustionist..but never got around to it. Now I am going to watch it!
Thanks for the movie recommendation. And the sushi sounds yummy. Favorite weekend hangout: Right now it's Atlanta with a stop at Goldbergs for a cinnamon raisin bagel with cinnamon raisin cream cheese and Starbucks later in the day.
I loved "The Illusionist"! The acting was so superb, they made what was a borderline hokey screenplay good.
I saw "The Queen" last night. I wasn't dying to see it, but I must say another example of superb acting (and directing) that carried off a potentially dumb plot.
I didn't see The Illusionist, but I did see The Prestige and thought that was a very entertaining movie. Try that one next.
If I revealed my favorite weekend getaway, then everyone would be there! :D
Well, not that I can think of one place in particular, but you can guarantee it involves 4WD or a hike of some manner.
dcvita - the actors were all superb and paul giammatti almost stole the show.
ally - DH & I love sushi/ japanese food. mmm.... the cinnamon raisins sound delicious.
ella- i'll check out "Queen", thank you for the recommendation!
aaron- "The Prestige" is in my queue. DH & I love to hike too on weekends. :)
If DH don't ever treat you right, lemme know and we can go hiking together. :D
