  • Happy Friday The 13th

    Happy Friday The 13th

    By Andrea Menzies

    Happy Friday The 13th To All! Today I fell and skinned my knee. Darn Friday the 13th I thought! Now the question will haunt me did I randomly fall, or subconsciously make it happen due to knowing it was the 13th? Was I just more aware of my bad luck due to it being Friday the 13th? I tend not to go out on Friday the 13th not because of my own superstition, but because I know some real weirdos are superstitious and go into trouble maker mode on the 13th. Oh well I will just stay away from hockey masks to be on the safe side and read these memes from yourtango dot com.

  • Bashing Call

    Bashing Call

    By Andrea Menzies

    Protesters hearing the call for justice are being bashed down this week. I joined several Feminist Alliance groups online to protest against Trump this week. Unfortunately I had to go to the hospital twice, and protesters were being bashed down super hard so I had to cancel going. Violation of the right of free speech is being tossed around like a frisbee this week in the USA. I got an e-bike because my family worked travel jobs when I was a kid, and I saw people riding bikes and folding e-bikes to clean well funded public transportation in other countries all the time. We have been completely fooled in the United States to think that well funded public transportation, schools, rights, and healthcare must be impossible dreams as poorer countries already have them daily. Meanwhile we have a president that thinks a 400 million dollar fossil fuel using airplane for daily personal use is an okay transport option.

    People have been using e-bikes to get to public transportation that allows bikes on board in Europe and Asia for decades already.
    Uber and Lyft are rip offs compared to real transportation solutions other countries have. Meanwhile our president thinks a 400 million sky airplane for personal use is normal.

  • Record Bike

    Record Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    I was feeling so much better today I set a record for my longest bike ride on the Strava app. The new bike is working great! I am glad I finally have a working bike as the weather is good enough for it. I have a ton of night school research homework to do, and having transportation to the library for homework is a much needed school tool for productivity.

  • Single Ladies

    Single Ladies

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am one of the single ladies, and have not even had a cheek kiss in three years. This month marks the three year point, and this made me upgrade my dating profiles to premium. I have had many long term dating relationships before, and have been married and divorced. I can have long term relationships, but the jerks of Virginia THEY have been dumping ME. This is why I am only looking for dinners in the Maryland area, and I have fully given up on dating in the Virginia area. No I will not meet people alone at houses, and only crowded well lit areas with security are okay for dinner in modern day. I want friends and maybe more not wallet theft.

  • Back To Bike

    Back To Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    At long last I can bike again, and biked a three mile ride. I am going to keep Pine Sol and hand sanitizer on me every second of the day this summer as I do NOT want to deal with that crap one more time. I had a flu shot at Walgreens just before summer, but that helped nothing at all. I labeled my first return ride the feeling better ride, and it is way better to not feel horribly sick. Now if I could just do something about not having a date, boyfriend, or even a kiss on the face in three years as of this month which I completely hate some real problems could get solved. I went to Planned Parenthood recently,  and all tests showed I was healthy and fine. I guess I have to go to towns with a real music scene to meet people which this state has none of at all.

  • Better Days

    Better Days

    By Andrea Menzies

    All the heaven saints made antibiotics, and after taking them I am much better. Thanks to all the people who wished for me to “get well soon” when I was sick. As a substitute teacher I work at the desks of the sickest teachers in the district, and this leaves me constantly extra sick. This is just one of the reasons I am going to night school online to NOT be a substitute teacher anymore. I have a million plans for summer, but being trapped in bed was not one of them.

  • Irony Bike

    By Andrea Menzies

    I finally got money for an ebike, and ordered the dream ebike! I ordered it, but cannot ride it due to being sick. I feel like the man in the Twilight Zone episode with broken glasses that cannot read in a library. I even bought new tail lights, and a bike Garmin and Sunny heart monitor for it. Not only do I want more fitness experience, but the ebike is useful as gas free transportation. Bikes do not cause joint damage like jogging, and studies show bike use prevents cancer and heart disease. I love camping, and it fits in an RV better than a big non-folding bike. Every entertainment district is making car parking costs what feels emotional like 1 million dollars, and a good ebike can cut down on parking and Uber fees so that I can go to music concerts more without using a car near downtown. I have had the picture of this bike on my wall for months. Buying it now helps me avoid nightmare tariffs and fees. At University in New Orleans I used to bus and bike everywhere to see concerts. The bike is so close but so far away!

  • Super Sick

    By Andrea Menzies

    So sick with bronchitis. I finally got a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics as the first doctor refused to prescribe them leaving me in agony days longer. So many doctors are afraid to over prescribe antibiotics they now don’t even properly prescribe antibiotics without a battle. My podcast usually starts up again in summer reviewing books, but I am too sick to even read right now. It will be on hiatus longer.

  • Show Take 2

    By Andrea Menzies

    Note on Assemblage 23: They fixed the ticket issue and gave me a refund on the second ticket! Yes I was stuck hunting for parking forever, and missed many songs. But I love Assemblage 23 shows no matter what happens, and I am glad they had the great taste to put on an amazing show. The first time I saw them I was in San Antonio, and the fire department almost shut the venue down for overselling tickets. Something weird always happens at shows close to selling out. My review is it was a great show.

  • Assemblage 23

    By Andrea Menzies

    I made it to the Assemblage 23 show at Renegade in the DC area. Unfortunately I bought the ticket online, and it deducted money from my bank. Then NEVER sent me a Google ticket or email ticket so the venue refused to let me inside without buying a fresh ticket. When VNV played Silver Springs it was a FAR better show in every respect. Whenever a good show goes to Virginia they manage to destroy it. They have zoning ordinances out of a Footloose movie. However I still enjoyed the songs I heard, and my review is it was a good show.
