Socialising Over The Past Few Days...

[tcpip]

Thursday's D&D3.5 game had the party mop-up the remains of the dragon lord's forces; still waiting to go toe-to-toe with the the ancient green dragon - must say in third edition dragons are seriously powerful - the PCs are mainly about 14th level and I think they'll have their work cute out for them. Sunday's RuneQuest game witnessed darknova666 in the guise of Balastor begin the campaign against the Lunar occupation of Pavis.

Went to 2600 on Friday night and spent time with the good company there; afterwards watched El Orfanato, a ghost-story which was very good in terms of suspense and narrative consistency. Following day went to Brendan's place to watch Let The Right One In and The Onion Movie. The latter was quite amusing, the former was serious. As _zombiemonkey has remarked; There's a really good vampire romance story and it's not fucking Twilight.

On Sunday about one hundred people turned up at the Unitarians for a concert to raise money for Médecins Sans Frontières; I gave a brief speech on the current activities of the organisation; congregation collection came to over $1700. Sunday was also redcountess's v2.0 gathering at Polly's. Afterwards dined with _zombiemonkey, severina_242, usekh and caseopaya. Intend to drag some of these people along to Liquid Architecture, an installation art-music event recommended to me by _nightflower_

If you like to socialize, does this improve your status as a socialist?

Heh, there's probably a few jokes in that one.

Then I discovered a quotes website that conflates socialist with socialising.

"Let The Right One In" is a fine piece of work.

I am quietly impressed by it. Rather like traditional gothic literature, the real fear is not from immediate shock value (indeed, there is very little of that), but rather from thoughtful elaboration on the circumstances in following days.

Must amend post to mention that I watched The Orphanage as well which is similar in this regard.

I highly recommend the book of "Let the Right One In" as well. It's even creepier, everything that the movie implies, the book elaborates on.

I still need to see The Orphanage.

Ah, thank you for the recommendation. I'll see if I can find it.

I'll write to the CoM. A few people have made that remark recently. :)
