Cool pictures.

Looks like they made it

Phoenix appears to have made it to Mars. Yay for more Mars pictures.

Good Luck Phoenix

Eurovision 2008

Yes, I know it's over. Still, I feel a need to share.

Participants that either didn't make me cringe, or made me cringe in a good way:

Azerbaijan - Only in Europe could this happen. They get points for audacity, but honestly the lyrics are really annoying.

Finland - They rock. A bit too serious, maybe, but they rock.

Greece - Inexplicably, I found myself liking this song, as long as I didn't listen too closely.

Ukraine - Best of the ordinary. That is, compared to the crowd of boring disco-crud, this is actually pretty catchy.

You'll notice I didn't actually like the winner.
