Review: Theme Week

picture included to boost site traffic

The Theme Week has a debt owed to selling-out the same way selling-out has a debt to taking the easy way out. That debt is approximately $4.25 and that 25 cents must be a quarter, none of that 2 dime-nickel shit. Theme weeks are tacky, but tacky is a tacky word for ostentatious exhilaration. I should have said 'tack is an ostentatious exhilaration word for ostentatious exhilaration.' Because apparently there is beauty in everything, and you don't even watch Wheel of Fortune every week. Wheel of Fortune, or Wheel of-ortune, as I have come to call weekly have a theme week because somehow they have money too. They take the crispness and surface level of a certain aspect- either the city they are in, the city in which the trip they are giving away a vacation to, or whatever the contestants sweatshirts will lead you to believe. It's a simple touch, and usually serves no purpose other than having to notice it.

And what is a purpose of anything that to notice it? Theme Weeks are the embodiment of art in that sense. They are more shallow, and have more to do with corporate sponsorship - but eventually everything will anyway (no it won't). The Theme Week does have a purpose in that it concentrates for a week. For example- this blog will have its first theme week next week. And looking in a realm of pop culture or existence with some consistency MIGHT do some good. For who? Owl breeders ? Skull Fetishists? Readers who are neither of those 2 things? No, but hopefully there will be more comparison between the posts, making things either to navigate in your mind. "Oh Gimly's beard was more crucial to the plot than Aragon's tight goat," if my theme was about hair in Lord of the Rings. It won't be, but it might be that. Anyway- 5 things related to one thing in a time period considered a week. It's something.
