Double Workout
By Andrea Menzies
Woot, I made it to a 180 day workout level for my New Year’s Resolutions app workout on SunnyFit. I normally go on a health kick for New Year’s Eve but seeing a friend’s death online really made my workout urge double.

Ed Books
By Andrea Menzies
Ed gave me his paperback copy of Time Enough For Love years ago. Now I can never give it back because he was found dead this week. One of the reasons I started to review books online was that many friends used to lend me books and talk about them constantly in Texas and Louisiana when I lived there unlike Virginia. I redownloaded the book to remember my lost friend this week.

Ed RIP
By Andrea Menzies
RIP to my friend named Ed that passed away this week. He was at my wedding before my divorce when I was younger. I tried to get enough money to visit him in Texas in the hospital, but my horrible teaching job would not pay me enough. Thing one million that makes me hate Virginia with all my soul.

Add Poedaughterz
By Andrea Menzies
Plenty of New Years sparkle. I am Poedaughterz on the Highrise game or Poedaughterz on World of Warcraft for New Year’s Eve chat. My darn concert plans for Maryland this weekend got cancelled due to problems with weather at the Baltimore Amtrak train station that made the national news so it is going to be a digital video game New Year’s Eve for me this year. At least they refunded the ticket fees. I have one million tons of homework emotionally speaking for my master’s degree night school anyway so it is not a great time to be social.

Scary Obvious
By Andrea Menzies
I did not make up Captain Obvious it was a book character before it was an advertisement character. I used the character as I joked in one of my previous posts that it was obvious that men should NOT be violent, killing, and abusive to wives, and was unpleasantly shocked at how many abusive Internet troll men were publicly loving the idea of hurting women. This is how women end up single and divorced like myself abusive men are very real. Prejudice against women is very much so alive and well on the Internet I am sad to say. You men only made it easier to know what people to put on user-block.

Death Hotel
By Andrea Menzies
I spent the night in a Maryland death hotel. I am moving to Maryland in the next couple of years, and was staying in a Days Inn hotel in Laurel, MD while seeing tourist sites, music band nights, and working on the moving paperwork. Recently Baltimore Soundstage had the Sisters of Mercy play so I like the area’s incredible music scene. (I have seen many other great bands there, this one just made it clearly the best music scene.) Currently Maryland hotels require a hundred dollars in deposit money BEFORE you even pay for the nightly fees. Many webpages on Expedia and other booking sites mentioned NOTHING about the fees making check-in hours longer and more of a hassle than I had expected. This is very dangerous as some exhausted travelers may not be able to pay fees, and may fall asleep at the wheel. Then as I went to my room the hallway was covered in crime scene tape! I heard gun shots in the night! Then the lobby was covered in fire trucks, cops, and ambulances in the morning for check out. Another murder had happened in the night where a husband killed the wife as she was staying with another man! Here is your community service message from Captain Obvious: “Dear men getting dumped: killing the female only destroys your life more!” If the bullets hit bystanders it is a worse problem. You were dating you don’t own her like a car. What the heck is happening at Maryland hotels that they are charging huge deposits, and are covered in murder tape non-stop? I wanted a holiday adventure, but not a disaster. Fortunately I was not hit by bullets, but I did not sleep great. However the room was pretty cutely decorated in my review I give it three stars because it truly tries not to be a murder nightmare. Sadly Virginia has been an even more disgusting horrifying nightmare than the murder hotel so I still liked Maryland better as Baltimore Soundstage recently had an amazing Sister’s of Mercy show, constantly books other great shows, and Virginia had nothing at all.

Nice decorations in the room even as it was murder-central.
Many jackets on for the cold. 
All hotels in the USA have this Bible due to constant demon attacks. Just joking… Maybe.
