[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.

[knows where she's going with that and nods]

Hopefully we'll all be able to forget for a little while.

[artsy]

Yeah, we definitely need to do it.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Do you think we should have more than just popcorn and soda?

[artsy]

Booze.

[laughs]

There are people who are underage coming to this.

[artsy]

We'll put it in a flask and set a horrible example.


Pizza? Everyone likes pizza.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Oh! Definitely pizza.

[artsy]

Chips and salsa. Why not mix food groups? A fruit tray.

[is making a note of all of this]

And plenty of soda.

[artsy]

Yes, soda.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Ice cream? Or some kind of dessert?

[artsy]

Cookies, brownies, and ice cream that way we can re-hash my college days.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I'll see what I can track down.

[artsy]

Sounds like a great plan to me, sweetie.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Good. So I'll see you there?

[artsy]

See you.
