Weird Al Yankovic & The Roots – Beer Barrel Polka

I know that I listen to plenty of "novelty" music, and do so with some regularity. That's because it's not a novelty to me. I think well done music that is funny, or just plain entertaining, is a pure joy. Long story short, I don't have a specific plan for this week, I'm just hoping to put a few smiles on faces, and maybe garner a laugh or two along the way as well.

Also, do you know how tough it is to find a quality video of Weird Al doing a live performance? Probably the most entertaining concert I've ever been to, and I can't find anything to do it justice. So we get this instead.

July 17, 2015: Mom

Today is my mom's birthday. I wouldn't have bothered to share that, except that we needed a COC, and it was all I could think of for the subject. So there we are.

But hey, baseball's back tonight! I probably should have gone with that for our header, huh? Oh well.

Third Monday Movie Day: I’m A Revenger!

I accomplished the rare feat of going to a theater to see a movie this weekend. We picked Avengers: Age of Ultron or whatever the subheading/punctuation combo is. I had seen a handful of reviews and "what does this mean for Captain America" etc. stories, and was kind of braced for the worst. I had largely avoided spoilers, so that was nice, but I was still ready to see something worse than the first one.

That was not my assessment. I really enjoyed it. Much more so than the first Avengers movie. Good action, good balance between characters, a really fun villain, a little bit of heart, a good amount of humor... a great popcorn flick.

So... what has everyone else seen this month? Tell me more about why I should go see Mad Max, since I'm hearing lots about that? Etc.
