batskeets | Book and Birthday updates

Following up on the post about my book idea, I am making a Google Wave thread to plan the Random Acts of Happiness! I doubt that I'll have time to document these in March, but it's okay, because I suspect they'd be better served by waiting for warmer weather, anyway.

I added

praenomenal and

marykae because they're already in my Wave list, and I sent out Wave invites to other (local) people who responded with interest in participating. Hopefully you guys will actually receive the Wave invites soon.

Also, BIRTHDAY PARTY THEMES! I find myself leaning more towards "silly" than "fancy" at the moment, so I have two in mind:

80s Geek Nostalgia: This would center around nerdy things from the 80s, and things you geeked out over as a kid.
PROS: Guests can go as simple as a wearing a retro t-shirt, or be ambitious and dress in a crazy costume.
CONS: Theme decorations and food are less clear-cut and possibly harder to execute

Superheroes: Pretty obvious. Can pick an existing superhero, or make up your own.
PROS: Much potential for creativity. Also gives me an excuse to wear Psylocke costume again if I want to. (heh)
CONS: Decor and food could be similarly difficult in execution. But probably easier to come up with ideas.

Do you have ideas or resources for decor and such? HALP.
