Wow… uh, this post kinda sucks in light of the super cool new Imperial TIE Fighter at jedidefender.com, at although it brings "our" (collector) dream version much closer to reality. So… now comes the awkwardly less-than-newsie part.

This post is, as always, a day late, thanks to my friend gastroenteritis, but a little Lomotil, PowerAde Zero (Grape) and rest…

Before I start, a Galactic reader, Tommy Trouble from Memphis, TN was in my neighborhood performing with his band The Perfect Fits at 529 in the East Atlanta Village. (Yeah, I’d link them, but they charged me for two drinks I didn’t have.) If you like powerful indie pop, there’s your band. Also, sorry for the musical advertorial, but my friend Coulter (following in the footsteps of Radiohead, etc.) has released his new album, Sent To Coventry, which you can download for free. There are my plugs, and now on with…

Yes, the return of the household tips…

One cheap tap-light (I recommend real $1stores) and a pair of Droideka shields can make cool lighting.

Or turn it over (and, I swear they made these things like Weeble-Wobbles because they won’t tip over) toss in some Hot Tamales Candy or your choice (because an LED doesn’t get that hot). Voila! You have the coolest candy dish in, well, my house.

Unusual uses for toys? It’s a good thing! (No, really, it is.)

Hasbro Toys nor Just Born Inc. nor the $1 taplight endorse any alternative use of any product, but it looks cool, right?
