It’s easy for the winter months to make us feel lethargic and reclusive. This is the time of year that I like to wrap up in blankets and surround myself with weird objects like my grandma’s paintings of donkeys riding on the backs of other donkeys or candles infused with cemetery soil. It’s the time to get inspired and piqued without even having to change out of your pjs. Here are my favorite strange and unusual videos to get your comfortably daydreaming about all that is pleasantly discomforting.
