United 93 and dinner @ Anducci's

The first word that comes to my mind about United 93 is chilling. It succeeded by portraying the traumatic event of 911 without any Hollywood stylization. I admit that parts of it in the beginning was a little boring due to the amount of military and FAA jargons. Some of the cast seem a little sloppy as well, particularly that weird asian guy at the FAA who looked funny in every scene he was in. Nevertheless, the film evoked a great sense of confusion, helplessness, and desperation faced by the passengers during the final moments of United 93.

Afterward it was dinner at Anducci's. The plates were huge, and no one got close to finishing except for George. Conversations, good food, Annie complaining about the lack of prawns on her plate... it was fun. We saw Ingrid there as well. The girls and I walked around Safeway before we went separate ways. Oh man that stupid driver of the 160 that leaves at 10pm is such an ass. He was leaving his bay just when I got off the 97 so I ran to the stop sign and waved; there was another lady there as well. The bastard didn't stop! I had to wait for the 10:30 bus and when I fianlly got home I finished the leftover pasta with my parents.
