SYNOPSIS
He could have been an atmospheric physicist or an environmentalist. But he figures it is all going to end anyway. He is now an inventor of an entertainment system. A system he refers to as "the entertainment system for the conveniently adequate Joe".
What Day Is It Today? follows the life of a homeless inventor who holds absurd lectures in his makeshift backyard, who is constantly perfecting his invention, who is paranoid of the solar system and is waiting for the apocalypse to happen.
