AT-AT's: not just for Christmas. Check it out, awesome pics of a 'pet' AT-AT. Even if you don't like Star Wars, it's still cute - I defy anyone to look at them and not go 'Aww'.

For the first time ever, I voted for a reality TV show. 8 years of resistance, and I finally weakened. This is me, propping up media juggernauts and contributing to the death of quality, scripted TV. *sigh* On the other hand, I think I've officially accepted that I'm completely addicted to So You Think You Can Dance.
