I'm going to try and start updating the site again. I'm hoping to have time to work on two projects and am going to try and post updates on the progress of both.

The first is I have an awesome new collecting room. Finally I can get all of my boxed up collectibles unearthed. I'm getting everything moved into the new room, but I should be dropping some major money at Ikea soon to get some shelving.

The second project is a MAME arcade cabinet. I've looked into the parts and I should hopefully be ordering these soon. Should be fun.

I saw this on Toybender.com and if you haven't seen this 18 part documentary looking at Mark Bellomo, author of The Ultimate Guide to G.I.

After a lull in posting, I'm working on bring XeQUae.com back to life. I'm working some on the setup of the site and going to try and bring in some new features. I'll try to have several posts a week at least, though with kids that can be tough. Also I'm going to try and keep a good lists of contests from around the web on the page, so you can win some cool loot. And don't think you can't win, because I've won a few contests out there. And hopefully I'll have some more stuff coming soon....

Since Episode I hit the theaters in 1999, the "in" thing has been to hate the prequels and pretty much anything Lucas has touched, but I have to say I love all 3 movies and wish we could see more of them. While the prequels do have problems, with Jar Jar being the biggest, there is a lot to like in them from awesome villains to some great duels and some exciting action scenes. I want more Star Wars movies not as some life changing event, but as fun and exciting escapist entertainment.
