Dinner and DVDs on Saturday

A few friends are coming to dinner and see my new cheesy classics Tron/Labyrinth on Saturday, at mine at about 7.00pm, probably with mead and heckling. Would anyone else like to join us?

We may also watch another DVD -- I'll probably try to persuade everyone to watch something I think they should see once -- or play some games.

(Edited for tact)
(May possibly be changed with respect to Becky's suggestions.)

Krishna

I met up with some vegetarians, who were nice. I don't define myself by vegetarianism, but it's more central to who am than having red hair would be.

But as well as being full of vegetarians it is full of Hare Krishnas. It is very strange -- though quite refreshing, it's nice for once *not* to think about it -- to not be the only vegetarian in a room full of people who agree with your philosophical believes, but vice versa.

But while most people were just nice, a minority were, well, offputtingly evangelical. I want to -- and effectively did -- say "Thank you for the food, and the book, and the friendship. But interesting or not, I won't take anything I feel puts me at an obligation to take you seriously, I'm sorry."

And "Be aware I've met CICCU's best, you may choose not to waste your time with me."

And "You're striving. You're not supposed to strive. Be happy, it's a much more effective advertisement."

As I said to mum, don't worry, I'm not going to be brainwashed. I've been preemtively debrainwashed very well, as curious as I am about, well, lots of things, skepticism is still my rock, and I'm incapable to believing anything contrary, even when I try :)
