[there's some shuffle as the journal is pushed open, and after a minute of considering what to say, Sweets speaks]

I was reminded not too long ago [read: Halloween] that I promised someone [read: Mindy] a John Wayne movie marathon. I fully intend to follow through sometime this month, but I was wondering if there was anyone else who might be interested?

I know that some people don't know who John Wayne is, or ... possibly even what movies are, so it could even be considered a cultural event. You can see a piece of something from our worlds that you wouldn't normally see in yours. Granted, these are old western films, so they don't necessarily have the best track record in terms of realism -- that wasn't really what they were for -- or ... matters of race and gender, but they're still rather enjoyable in their own right.

[a beat. he's an academic, you'll have to forgive him.]

My point being, I thought it would be a good community building exercise. I'll even bring popcorn.

Oh, no?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I used to live in America.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

And your Aunt lived overseas?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

Aunt and Uncle are always traveling.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

A benefit of being a movie star, I guess.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

They're hiding from Uncle's editors.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Your uncle was a writer?

[Geez, it's confusing trying to remember all the changed relationships. Why couldn't mother have come up with a less complicated cover story?]

He writes mystery novels.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I love mystery novels. It's so much fun to look for the hidden clues.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

They're the best!

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I still prefer more sci-fi, but they can be extremely engaging.

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

I don't like science fiction much.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Not enough of a puzzle for you?

[modernholmes.livejournal.com]

No. Most of it bores me.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

To each their own.
