  • Xymox Show Baltimore

    By Andrea Menzies

    I got tickets to Xymox a band I have two records and countless songs from on CD! I would like to thank the Baltimore Soundstage for putting on this great show of the band I have loved since I was a kid. Too bad it was almost too expensive to do, as corporations have made going out an expensive nightmare. The Xymox band are a big hit amongst Siouxie and the Banshees band fans as they are a famous European band.

    I have also seen the Sisters of Mercy play at Baltimore Soundstage on September 17 of 2024, and VNV Nation April 1, 2024, and Depeche Mode September 7, 2017 in the area so I know it will be a good show. All the above listed bands are top 40 popular bands from Europe. Virginia only has horrible garbage music playing so I know I will have to get an apartment near Baltimore to hear any good music.

  • Episode 4 Season 1 – Sims Spell-Caster Vampires

    By Andrea Menzies 04/21/202

    *This podcast now updates on Tuesdays.

    Intro: Sims 4 is a popular video game with spell-casters and vampires. Did you know people can play a spell-caster mixed with a vampire and many other occult types? The FH7podcast reviews books and videogames with book connections. On Tuesdays we do a podcast at FH7 with videos. See more about how the story of Sims 4 mixes these two magical occult stories, and how to place food in nightclubs at https://www.patreon.com/cw/FH7Productions7 #Sims 4, #Spell-Caster mixed with Vampire.

    Sims 4 is an ultra-popular video game where people can make a millionaire dream life and compare photos of it online with other users. If you buy the vampire pack you can play vampires. If you buy the spell-caster magic pack you can do magic. The problem is if you buy both they are so fun it is hard to pick what things you will give your main characters! Fortunately, you don’t have to! Here are a few tips and tricks that I wish I had known when playing spell-caster vampires. Use the cheat menu on a spell caster, and you can give it a vampire energy bar. They will be able to drink blood and order blood packs on the computer and drink them. The spell-caster vampires also never age, and burn in full daylight when not under an umbrella or tree. If you love vampire characters get the seasons pack so the characters can have umbrellas. Surprisingly the characters do not glitch out too bad, and use all the spells like Copypasto, and Repairo well using vampire energy to power the spells. Spell-caster vampires can no longer rise in vampire ranks, and cannot become master vampires. They can make vampire drinks at the bar, and know vampire secrets.

    To make a spell caster vampire:

    Press Ctrl + Shift + C (then enter)

    Type testingcheats true (then press enter)

    Type traits.equipt_trait_OccultVampire  (then press enter)

    Poof, vampire bar is now in the spell-caster menu!

    If you have a vampire, you must have them cure their vampire state, turn them into spell-casters, and then re-add the vampire trait. In this way you can complete both the storylines in the game, and use all items in both packs. Unfortunately, if you try to put vampires in a house with non-vampire spell-casters they will try to eat them to death. Have a vampire reach high level vampire lore, gather 5 garlic, and make a garlic braid. This braid will protect non-vampires in the house from bites. Give all magic users brooms and set to “always use brooms” so they can power up magic spells. Vampire spell-casters can also eat food. You can place food at nightclubs by pressing edit when in night-club mode, and type in the search “stall” for food stalls to turn all night clubs to restaurants.

    A good book to compare and contrast this video game’s details to is called “Press Stat The History of Video Gaming” by Erwan Cario. A visually stunning book available on Amazon that talks about the roots of video games from 1958 until modern day with details on Sims, Minecraft, and Fortnite.

  • No Out Bird

    No Out Bird

    By Andrea Menzies

    No going out for me this weekend. Internet friends were meeting me at a concert and music night in Maryland, and I was going to be free as a bird. Yet I have gone back to school, and have several papers due this week. Going back to night school means cutting back on fun, and not just saying you are making good grades online. Guess I am going to be an angry bird for a while.

  • Smart Ironic

    Smart Ironic

    By Andrea Menzies

    There is no such thing as a person who NEVER makes mistakes even if they make few mistakes on school papers and tests. It is always ironic that people good at school are called “smart” people. The professor on the TV show Gilligan’s Island could make an energy plant out of coconuts but he could not fix a five foot hole in a boat. How weird is it that no one noticed that as the show was on TV for many years? The Far Side has a famous cartoon of a kid at an honors gifted school pushing a door that says pull. Many people have noticed that school work and perfection are far from the same thing. I am starting a new class for a Master’s Degree program tonight, and the irony of learning is really powerful every first day of class.

    Could not stop pushing the pull door.
    School uses up a life time.

    You must use time in a wise way to make good grades.

    I received no tax information from my teaching job so I have to go chase that down this week. The main office changed locations so that will be an additional challenge. Taxes must be filed by April 15th so the Internet is alive with hilarious government jokes this week.

    Luck of the IRS.
    Logic vs Taxes.
    The wealthy are the freeloaders.
    5 Horse-men of the end times.

  • Easter Bonfire

    Easter Bonfire

    By Andrea M

    Alexandria Menzies, and Anne Brockett, and I went to the Easter Mass at Saint Augustine Church. They had a bonfire, candles, and holiday music for the event. Then we ate Chinese food. I was having a bad spring break holiday due to pneumonia and needing to go to the hospital. I could not travel or see music with that going on. At least I was able to go to family dinner by the end of the break.

    I am Andrea Menzies and I got into a new honors society for making all A grades in 2025 and 2026 at a new University. I am also the Pokemon Go player Poedaughter7. The orientation is the same day as the park meeting today so the park thing is cancelled.
