The Scientologists are coming!
No, really. I got this happy greeting in my mailbox on Tuesday (the real, snail-mail one, not the inbox): "Drugs and toxins destroy your life. THINK CLEARLY." I'm a little embarassed, actually; they seem to like ZapfHumanist font, just like me. Anyway, they're want me to start on a Purification Program to find a "unique, sparkling stream of new life" and move forward "to greater mental and spiritual vitality." I'm rather excited, and not just because I believe that "the filthy effects of drugs and toxic residues can send my whole life crashing"; we always lived in remote suburbia or other places where your usual door-to-door evangelists never visited, so this is a bit of a novelty for me. Scientology pops up a lot in Hollywood fictions too (I'm Losing You and On Spec are particularly scathing) so it's nice to be able to see a little bit of Los Angeles in my mailbox.
