By the way, the lamb stew was awesome. I almost scorched it to nothingness, but revived it with some water and simmered all the burnt bits off back into the stew (there's a cooking term for it, but I forget now). It was salty and rich and AMAZING. I actually poured half of it over chopped cabbage for dinner and am very happy knowing that half is still in my fridge.
Free lunch today at the campus - met No Impact Man himself, actually! Very cool. You can tell he's a writer - or at least, he talks the way I think when I've been writing a lot. Slow and recursive. I'm looking forward to his talk tonight.
We went around the table, introduced ourselves, told our major, and shared our passion. Every single person at the table listed people - family and/or friends - as their number one passion (I added food, books, and life in general to my list). Colin Beavin made the point that whether we agree or disagree on what the world needs or how it should be done, we all have common ground in that we care about the same basic things, more often than not. Approaching issues from that viewpoint rather than as an argument is the way he thinks we can accomplish change; I can't disagree.
However, I don't think we'll be able to reason with the zombies.
