The world is just so addicted to hanging onto a lot of stuff, as opposed to being clean and clear. So I highly recommend you look around. What books need to be given away? What clothes need to be given away? What shoes have you not worn for two years? Where can you give those things away that people might be able to use that?

So look around your environment and say, how functional is it? How useful is it? How current is it in terms of the reality of these things and their meaning to you? And that’s fine. There’s no right or wrong in terms of whatever that volume is. It may be whatever it is that you want, how ever much you feel comfortable. But most people feel slightly uncomfortable about what’s still in their closet, what’s still in the drawers of their desk, what’s still anywhere. So now’s a good time, when I say “When in doubt, clean a drawer”, it’ll help a ton.

In 2013 Funny or Die released a parody video movie trailer for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

In 2022 Hulu will release a movie co-written by Weird Al called Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

As someone commented, “We are actually getting a parody of a parody of a living parody.”

Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al. Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna. Rainn Wilson as Doctor Demento. This may be the greatest film ever made.

Stay healthy and safe.


Maybe the second greatest film ever made.

Given this site’s name I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you that the U.S. is averaging about 90,000 reported COVID-19 cases a day this week. That’s an 8% drop from last week, but what I find more interesting is that it’s higher than the weekly average during the summer of 2020, when most of us were in serious lockdown, mask wearing mode and there was no vaccine.
