    Dig Harder

    By Andrea Menzies

    I have been single for years with no date or husband, and men are not just going to rise from the grave break into your house, and ask you out.  People give me crap for working too hard to go to dance nights and concerts. I am NOT just happy being alone I want to meet someone. You have to get out of the house and be social if you want to date someone in the modern day.

  • Great Atlas

    Great Atlas

    By Andrea Menzies

    There was a great show for Bellweather Syndicate at the Atlas show venue and video arcade in Washington DC Sunday the 1st. William and Scary Lady Sarah were there, and it was great to see them in person. I wished them a happy birthday on the Internet, but seeing them in person is always nice. I am so glad I got tickets and a chance to go. People were friendly and talkative. The pinball games were fun. As an added bonus it was across from a famous graveyard for pre-Halloween event photos. Blade was showing as the venue movie. Unfortunately epic rain hit the road so traffic was a nightmare even by DC standards both on the way there and back so I missed the first part of the show. Yet I saw the best part, and that was perfect.

  • Music Past

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am from Austin, TX. They have the logo of “Live Music Capital Of The World” everywhere as going to shows is a popular hobby people like. I am not an exception to this rule. As I have hated the abuse pit that is Virginia with all my soul it is good when shows give me a chance to get away to a better place.

  • 30 Thousand

    By Andrea Menzies

    Woot! I made it to 30 thousand steps on Fitbit working for Amazon on Wednesday. I used to struggle to get to 10 thousand a day when doing teaching work. I had to take a break from teaching as they did not pay me 800 dollars of pay at Chesterfield Schools for work I did while trying to force me to become a bus driver, and my relatives have helped me contact lawyers on that issue. Meanwhile I have resumes out at other locations that use my completed University degree. Amazon heavily tested me for drugs and alcohol and I didn’t fail any of the tests, and so it is a good reference to have as abusive ex-employers and ex-boyfriends lately have tried to lie about my personal life.

  • Evil Mail

    By Andrea Menzies

    The PO box service iPostal1 is I-fraudulent-1 in my book. If it was an Amazon product I would give it a 1 star review. I sell art, used products, books, and other things on eBay and other pages. I used my home apartment address years ago for mail once, and got gross stalking men hassling me for money and dates at my home. In addition I hate Virginia with all my soul as it is a garbage toilet, and have been paying to submit many job applications in other areas. Now I use PO boxes for online sales and returns as well as job applications. Many people are using PO boxes due to online shopping. I was using an expensive service, but thought iPostal1 would be cheaper. You have to pay a fee, then use an online notary also charging a fee so iPostal1 is still not cheap. You still have to use a home address as a base on iPostal1 another disadvantage. Then I sent many bits of mail to myself to test the PO box. No mail got to the iPostal1 box, I got no notice, and nothing was forwarded to me. Worst of all was the non-existent customer service which was a robotic voice that hung up on me 3 times. Chat messages never answered me. I wish more blogs were warning people how bad iPostal1 is so I could have saved myself the hassle and fees. I am still going to use a PO box again, but now I have to buy another one at an expense store. There is no point to a PO box that doesn’t ever give me mail. #iPostal1 is fraudulent #iPostal1 is a scam

    Lies they tell customers.
    No agent ever got back to me.
  • Show Renewed

    Show Renewed

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am so glad Upload is being renewed for a fourth season. The William Gibson cameo episode was great as I loved his cyberpunk books as a teen. The show is full of book references to his stories.

  • Guild Wars Update

    By Andrea Menzies

    The new Guild Wars 2 update looks amazing, and my review so far is five stars. The game world has become increasingly amazing in preparation for the expansion Janthir Wilds which will be available August 20, 2024. At the price of $24.99 on Steam for prepurchase it is not too pricey. Some people worried the new houses will make it too much like Sims, but I love MMO games with houses so it should be a change for the better.

    *

    I have played a necromancer since the first Guild Wars, which is still available on Steam games. The many zombie minions, and damage over time spells make it as good as wizards and rangers in other games. Guild Wars lets you play in teams with online friends, but it also lets you pick up NPC characters in town with game gold to play group quests solo if you want solo runs. The new game has had me replaying the old game, and both have loads of wild and exciting fun. Add me to friends online as Poedaughterz and Poedaughters if you need help with the game. Poedaughterz the necromancer is where I am online most.

  • Tarisland MMO

    By Andrea Menzies

    As an MMO video game fan I love the new Tarisland MMO, and how little space it takes up on PC memory. I like that if you download BlueStacks it plays well on PC, and does not block Guild Wars 2 the game I now most love. However the truly scientifically fascinating part of Tarisland is the quests are almost all clones of old school World of Warcraft, but it dances just under the limbo line of lawsuit worthy copyright infringement.

    *

    The introduction in Tarisland of a Bard class points out that World of Warcraft was in fact itself ripping off Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings so everything is related in video games. I like Tarisland better as it is smaller on computer memory, easier to solo play, and the plot is not as dark as Warcraft’s super-downer quests. The new game is worth a try, and I give it 5 stars.

    I play Poedaughters and Poedaughter7 on server EU-1 if anyone wants to add me to friends.

    Stunning graphics in town.
    Seriously looks just like other games.
    High game clone factor on elf land graphics, but in a good way. All games are based on Lord of the Rings and DND after all.
  • Child Myth

    By Andrea Menzies

    The greatest myth told to children is “you can be anything when you grow up” as a profitable job. No you are not going to be a cowboy, artist, rockstar, zookeeper, and astronaut as most people have learned. You go where the money is or you suffer.
