All the crazies, none of the calories
Around this time in the school year, I can’t even pretend I’m paying attention in class any more.
Postscript: Mark may not be crass enough to directly order people to vote for ‘Slap Upside the Head’ in the Canadian Blog Awards, but I am. Vote today and tomorrow while there’s still time!
Hooray! Slap Upside the Head has survived the first round of eliminations in the 2006 Canadian Blog Awards.
In the round one results, Slap came in second place for best cultural blog and finished quite respectably in the other categories. It’s now moving on in the cultural blog category, and voting starts today!
Now, some people seem to have got the impression that I’m asking for your vote. Why, nothing could be further from the truth! I’m not that crass. But if anyone were to, say, accidentally spasm and—in a fit of muscular convulsion—gesture your mouse so that it clicks on the Canadian Blog Awards link, scrolls down to the Best Cultural Blog entry, selects the Slap Upside The Head option, then scrolls down the rest of the page and clicks Submit… I certainly wouldn’t object.
Oh, and spasms are allowed once-a-day per person as per the voting rules.
In a really, really cool twist of fate, Slap Upside The Head has been nominated in several categories for this year’s Canadian Blog Awards. This includes, incredibly: Best Blog, Best Progressive Blog, Best New Blog, and Best Cultural Blog. Uh, and not Best Humour Blog (sniff), or Best Art Blog (actually, that I can understand…)
There are some other cool blogs up for nomination too, so go check out the awards site. Voting rules are on the front page. 
I suppose there must be something wrong with me for wanting to participate in The Genographic Project , but the urge has gotten pretty severe over the last year or so. It’s such a cool concept behind the project. I can’t buy the kit till I secure employment and lebensraum after graduation (money is a little tight right now) and I certainly can’t ask for it as a Christmas present after my parents spent a fortune on a new bed for my birthday. Dang. The lack of this kit is eating away at me.
What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever uncontrollably wanted for Christmas?
