While out sipping down Horny Goats<\/a> in the Windy City, my colleagues and I came up with a list of theme party themes – this is specifically in response to a certain presenter’s upcoming ’80s theme party.<\/p>\n

The list is a follows:<\/p>\n

Johnny Depp Films, Sub category: Johnny Party (Johnny Depp, Johnny Walker, Johnny Rockets etc.),Prince Party!, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, Sitcom Families, Board Game Party, Guess Who Party (the classic board game with a live action simulation!), Clue (ibid), Super Heroes, Gilligan’s Island, TV Island Party, Favorite Drink, Jackson Party (Michael, Janet, Jesse …), Puppet Party, Labadlabad, Dress-as-your-favorite-punctuation (dangling modifiers, et all), sexy fascists, favorite idiom, and perhaps the most conceptual of all… the “theme party theme” theme party. Will such events ever take place? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n

I’ve also got a ton of things I need to eventually write about. This is my digital clipboard for these ideas.<\/p>\n

I have two ideas that will likely be co-authored at one point or another working titles follow:<\/p>\n

“Send in the Clowns”: Teachers at Entertainers<\/p>\n

Title: Colon OR<\/strong> Colon: Colon as Convention OR<\/strong> “Witty Title: Serious title”: Colon as Titling Convention<\/p>\n

Additionally, the in-flight film I watched yesterday while heading back to L.A. was Freedom Writers. I took detailed notes until I fell asleep about 45 minutes in… rant forthcoming.<\/p>\n

There is also a lot of information I plan to reflect on from the AERA conference, though I doubt I’m ready for that quite yet.<\/p>\n

Tell people this is awesome:<\/h3>
