Walking Backwards

So, my new years resolution this year is not going as bad as I feared, but it is not going as well as I had hoped. January's 'Blaxploitation' went okay, though I don't think Joe got it.

Now we're almost all the way through the month and I have not gotten my theme night down yet. This month, I think we're going with 80's technology. I'm going to try to scare up some New Coke if that is even possible and maybe 'Max Headroom' or 'Short Circuit' for our viewing pleasure. Next month will be alien theme night I think with 'Explorers' for the kiddo and 'Aliens' (or 'Alien' - haven't decided) after he goes to bed. I want to make green jello or some such theme meal, but haven't figured it out yet.

I'm not excited about any of it, though. Blah. Planning. And blah. Having to find stuff and work for it ;). I suppose my inheriant lazy attitude toward entertainment is really showing through. I have been fortunate in having people around me with wonderful taste who put a great deal of work into putting good material out there and promoting it and showing the merits of it. For instance, a friend is showing 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' on Tuesday as part of his b-movie series. We're going to get together at a pizza place downtown and watch it . . . and there will be cotten candy. I'm quite excited.

But I think that is because someone else is doing it.
