Dinner Deja Vu

So last year, Nick's work gave us a gift card to a nice hotel, shop & restaurant in downtown San Francisco.  We went and had a fun time, but couldn't get reservations for the restaurant that was (literally) across the street from our hotel.  Whatever, gift cards don't expire. 

Fast forward a year, we are headed to SF to see Book of Mormon & remember the gift card.  We DO get reservations this time (wayyy in advance) & look at the menu, looks good, we're excited for a fancy meal.  Cool.

So we get there and....

N: Um?
C:  Yep.  I see it.

We'd been there before!!  How is that possible?!  We didn't eat fancy when we lived in SF! We never came down to this part of town to eat?!  But absolutely we had been there before.  And I'm pretty sure we sat at the same table. So we stayed across the street for a full weekend, looked at their website and had NO CLUE that we'd been there before.  Clearly memorable.  But it was a pretty great meal, so I'm glad we went (again).

Have you ever completely forgotten something you've done -- to be excited to do it again??

SOoooo LOOoonngggg

I complained about it a few posts back and I will again.  WHY are old movies SO LONG!??  Maybe it's because I've never taken a film class and can't appreciate the history of film or aspects that make something a top movie.  But I am glad glad glad to be done with #66: watch the top 25 movies off IMDB. 

Our final contender: Once Upon a Time in the West

I guess the "beauty" of the movie is how the director let the barrenness of the west build up - rather than just banging forward with Western violence (although that was part of it too).  And that haaaaaarmooooonica.  Hoooowwwww many times did they play that refrain. 

While I'm glad we finished this item - I've realized I've got another to ex-out.  I will never read #64. Read three classics - A Tale of Two Cities, War & Peace, Ulysses.  I accept the failure!

Any annoying lists you feel proud to have accomplished??
