why so mean?

so ok i'm not hitting the 30 days. but then i realised visiting the site that several infinitely more talented people are producing real works rather than babbling on a blog.

i am currently a bit dazed. i have just returned from the Ritzy having seen Paul Greengrass' United 93. i'm not quite sure how i feel about the film. i shall have to sleep on it. certainly there was no ben affleck to save the day. very harrowing.

the canadian embassy has closed down for a few days so i am back in my home. it has been a wonderful weekend, partly because the sun has allowed for lazing with the papers and picnic food in the park.

i also went to the wedding of a friend from med school on saturday night. a great day and a chance to catch up with old buddies. a bit nostalgic really. the best man was talking about our first year and all the hilarious shenanigans in residences. everyone was smiling and laughing but 8 years older and i (one of the few who isn't married or a homeowner) couldn't help wishing for happier, simpler, less responsible times. ah! the wonders of ageing.

roll on 30.

Ok, you've got a few years on me, granted, but can we just not talk about 30? I can barely see myself 6 months down the road, much less at 30... eep.

Surely having no Ben Affleck makes the film less harrowing?

*is comfuddled*

Surely a tough topic for any film to cover, given the emotional and political implications. Haven't seen it yet, but it's on my "must do" list...
