People Suck, Wait, Social Media Sucks, No Wait People on Social Media Suck #WholeLotOfSuckingGoingOn

Packy - Head Llama

Friends are the worst. Wait, that’s not fair. Friends are amazing, valuable people. Social Media, and by extension how people choose to use it, is the worst. There, that about sums it up. Good post. See you tomorrow with a new Best Album You’ve Never Heard Of! No? Elaborate? OK. Since you (I assume) asked, here’s my point: Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) have given everyone a voice, and that’s a beautiful thing in some ways. For the LGBTQ community, it has allowed them to find and connect with…

Coming Soon: Clockwork Cosby! @BillCosby #PuddingPops #Cosby

Packy - Head Llama

In light of recent news that indicates that Bill Cosby will likely have his day in court to answer to the serious allegations of sexual assault that have been levied against him, I thought today would be a fantastic day to unveil my next faux cinematic masterpiece: Clockwork Cosby! A depraved and raw look into the psyche of a man who has quite possibly sexually assaulted over 50 women. It has all of the bartending tips that a sad sack lech might need to trap his prey, as well as…

The Birth of Diabetic Dracula #AmWriting #DiabeticDracula

Packy - Head Llama

Think of today’s original fiction piece as a tacky movie pitch for Adam Sandler’s next direct to Netflix movie or perhaps even TV series. It’s absurdly silly, it requires an extreme amount of linguistic overacting, and it’s a straight up comedy – all perfect for Sandler. Also, it would be a hard “R” rated horror-comedy, which would diversify his movie portfolio nicely. So if you are reading this, Mr. Sandler (or anybody else with wads of disposable funds that you would like to throw at me), and you like it:…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Logan’s Run #RunRunner

Packy - Head Llama

LOGAN’S RUN Hailed as the “first motion picture of the 23rd century”, Logan’s Run was a wild and burgeoning sci-fi tumbleweed of an ambitious film. You dare to doubt me on this? Watch the original 3 minute long trailer here and bask in the hyper stylized world that is Logan’s Run. There is visually striking architecture everywhere, post apocalyptic overtones, Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, poofs of ecstasy like hedonistic smoke thrown into the air, sexy sexiness at every turn, all manner of futuristic technology and laser beams as far as the eye can see.…

You Love Me, You Really Love Me #Stats #ThankYou

Packy - Head Llama

As a fun little sociological experiment, I decided to look at my web host’s statistics page for my website. Point of information: I check my WordPress stats a couple times per week to get a snapshot of how this blog is doing. I thought it was doing moderately OK, not gangbusters mind you, but definitely there was steady viewership. What I didn’t know, was that the Wordpress stats page didn’t paint the whole picture as it did not capture views from subscriptions, RSS feeds, and a variety of other distribution methods not…

Coming Soon: The TRUMPING #Trump #RealHorror #America

Packy - Head Llama

With the primary voting for the Presidential hopefuls starting next week, things are looking bleak for the United States of America. On the Democrat side you have Hillary Clinton (who’s petering out like she did in 2008) and Bernie Sanders (who couldn’t possibly accomplish 75% of his ridiculous agenda). On the Republican side you have Marco (Establishment Whipping Boy) Rubio, Ted (Never Gonna Get The Party’s Approval) Cruz, and the heir apparent: Donald (What The Eff Is Wrong With This Country) Trump. Bleak, my friends, very bleak. Donald Trump recently…

The Catalogers of Time: The Library of Alexandria

Packy - Head Llama

The Catalogers of Time Series started with the incident at Fort Phantom Hill and then continued with the fiery demise of Polonus Vorstius. Today we find the Smithsonian’s Historical Discovery Unit in a state of flux. Inter-personal strife and technical set backs have put the future of this costly operation in jeopardy. They need to prove that the exorbitant cost of their division will bear valuable fruit for the Smithsonian Institute. The Library of Alexandria “More coffee!” Mr. Simon hollered across the lab to an intern as he used a microfiber cloth…

My Relationship Status with Anime: Friends With Benefits #anime

Packy - Head Llama

Anime: A word that frightens some, amazes many, and confuses the rest. It is the short term for Japanese Animation, essentially cartoons. Unlike most western cartoons which are primarily aimed at children (with some notable exceptions), Anime can be focused on all audiences from children to adults, with most of the titles falling somewhere between the late-teenager to adult audience. What separates Anime from most other animation around the world is the quality of the animation, the complexity of the narrative and the inherent cultural differences between Japan and the rest…

Case of the Mondays #ChinUp

Packy - Head Llama

Those of us still in the work grind can relate to this one true and simple fact: we dread Mondays. Especially after a less than optimal weekend, the prospect of going back to work can seem like insult to injury. However, instead of wallowing in my “Case of the Mondays”   I have chosen to express myself in humorous memes stolen from other people on the Internet. Enjoy! And because it gave me a sensible chuckle:  No matter what you have going on in your life, whether Monday is the…

Doctor Strangehair: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Male Pattern Baldness

Packy - Head Llama

Hair today, gone tomorrow: Fact: I have been struggling on a very personal and emotional level, for going on over a decade now. Always in a constant and bitter war, one that I have been forever destined to lose… against my hair. Born with naturally thin and flighty hair, I stood on fairly shaky ground to begin with, but somewhere in my mid twenties, my hair started to evacuate my scalp much like rats deserting a sinking ship. My hair has always been a bit of an enigma. As a…
