Well, February was a complete wash as well. 2 whole articles in the past 28 days. That’s it. 2. I couldn’t be bothered to write a damn thing for the site, not even getting to the “Games with Gold” article on time! Much the same as January, I’ve been busy with some other projects combined …

Shit Just Keeps Getting Worse – Pandemic Log 7-7-202
This is just a post to update readers that things are as fine as they can be on my end of things. The world is in a hell of a state right now — well, mainly the US is. The continued political strife is as heated as ever and, exactly as anyone with any sense …

Having Seasonal Allergies During The Pandemic Is A Special Kind Of Hell – Pandemic Log 5/14/2020
This one goes out to anyone and everyone who, like me, has seasonal allergies in any form and right now is being treated like some kind of ultimate evil for sneezing, coughing, or even just having a sore throat and mentioning it during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s bad enough every Spring and Summer feeling like …

Just When You Think It Can’t Get Any More Crazy, It Does – Pandemic Log 4/22/2020
It’s been just shy of a month since my local area finally began pushing for the closure of non-essential businesses and taking the situation seriously. I’m still working and, in an interesting twist, business is quite high right now — the demand for game console repairs and, of course, games to go along with said …

How I Rediscovered My Love Of Making Music
Back in late August I was spending some time with a friend who was in town on business. He and I are both very much into the hunt for treasure that is antique and thrift store shopping, and on this particular day we stopped at one of my regular antique store haunts; one I’ve picked …

Christmas Memories Part 3 – Sony PlayStation 2, 2003
2003 would prove to be one of the most, shall we say, interesting years of my life. I’ll spare the details but it was chaotic, to say the least, and at a point during it much of what I owned was stolen. Not a great start to your adult life, but I learned quite a …

It’s The Holiday Season, and I Work In A Used Game Store – An Update
Oh, hello there. It’s been a while. Again. I’ve been desperately wanting to write something more substantial here for the past few days but I’ve been quite busy for reasons that, if the title above doesn’t make clear enough, I’ll talk about here for a little while. I work in a used game store. A …

What’s Coming For June 2018 On Xadara
May 2018 proved to be quite a productive month for me and my blogging – 29 articles, more than I’ve done since January. I guess I’m getting back into the swing of things. Of course, the 45th anniversary of the launch of Skylab helped with that, giving me a set of articles to write about …

So, I Tried The McDonalds Szechuan Sauce For The First Time In 20 Years
This weekend a visiting friend and I decided to grab a snack at McDonalds. He proposed some nuggets which got me thinking this might be a good chance for me to actually go and give that Szechuan sauce a try. I only haven’t had the stuff in, oh, 20 years, since the original 1998 Mulan …

A Feeling Of Freedom
So, as I write this, it’s 3AM. I really should be asleep, but let’s face it – with my work schedule being what it is an sleep issues, this isn’t anything normal. Right now I’ve got the Dido album “No Angel” laying. Haven’t listened to that in many years, and it’s just as good as …

2017 Plans: An Update
2016 was a hell of a year. It had its good points, its bad points, and all in all, it was pretty much just like any other given year. The biggest element was about halfway through the year a focus change in my efforts from YouTube to this site proper. This was a change that …

About Today…
Right now it’s almost 3AM on October 25th, and I’m beginning this mini-article, which will be retroactively dated to the 24th, just to keep up with the perfect month of at least one-a-day posts I’ve been doing October. WordPress is great like that, you can just fudge things if need be. Today has been quite …

An Extended Vacation, You Could Say…
It’s been a month since my last post to Xadara. Over a month really. I’m normally not one to post much, but to have no new content in almost 5 weeks is odd, even for me. This article basically serves to at least freshen up the front page of my site, as well as to …

A little retrospective is a good thing…
Recently, I have been listening to music that I listened to back a decade ago, when I was in High School. Many of these bands I have not really listened to since then, so it was refreshing, in a way to go back to familiar tracks that I was not burnt out on listening to. …
