I'm So Excited
After having been repeatedly defeated this morning by "bandwidth exceeded" messages on the Bloggies site, I finally got through and discovered that three of our own GTA Bloggers have been nominated. GTA, by the way, stands for Greater Toronto Area, and it's what we Torontonians call our city when we're not calling it T'ranna.
The queen of the knit-one-purl-two, Marmalade.ca, is up for Best Canadian Weblog. Kelly, I'm still laughing at the Wonton Challenge.
Rannie the photojunkie, who continually reminds us of the beauty that is T'ranna, even when it's -30° out there, is nominated in the same category, as is one of my favourite daily reads, Accordion Guy — but Joey, if you don't lay off with the creepy Photoshopped Bill Gates images I'm going to boycott you!
For me, the most exciting news to come out of the annual Bloggies was the discovery of Tequila Mockingbird, who won the Best Kept Secret blog award last year. This year she's up for Best Writing, and she's already got my vote. (By the way, Tequila, and cc: to Nikolai, I agree with you that any content on a blog is, by definition, blog content. I have no idea what they mean by Best Non-Weblog Content either.) Sometimes when I read Tequila, I have a Twilight Zone moment where I feel like I'm reading my own words, but I can't remember writing them.
I heard from a few of my readers who nominated me for a nomination for Best Kept Secret blog, and for that I thank you very much. Even though I didn't get nominated, it's an honour just to be nominated to be nominated! Maybe next year.
Voting for the 2005 Bloggies is open to anyone with an email address. Cast your votes here.
