I have one more day left to curry favor with (read suck up to) certain blogs who are nominated for the 2004 Weblog Awards.
Not like it matters, because I have all the pull of a mouse trying to haul an elephant around, but here are my endorsements.
(And, no, I'm not running through every category. Sheesh. It's like you people think I have nothing better to do with my time.)
Best Humor Blog: Protein Wisdom I'm endorsing Jeff mainly because I'm scared of what he'll do if he doesn't win. He seems kind of desperate.
That and he's actually funny. No one can elicit more spontaneous giggle fits from me than Jeff.
And what the $#@k is Scrappleface anyway?

Best Culture Blog: Big shocker here: The Llama Butchers.
They're my buds. Do you need any more reason to go and vote for them? I didn't think so, but just in case, know that, between Steve-o and Robbo, you get a pretty good impression of what an eighteenth-century Tory on crack would have been like.
You know, had crack been available during that era.

Best Essayist: Another shocker: Lileks
Not because he's good or anything, but because he's my neighbor. Ya have to be friendly to your neighbors.

Best Online Community: Munuviana
Besides sucking up to Pixy, this group blog saved the husband's chestnuts from roasting while he put this site together.

Best Australian or New Zealand Blog: God Himself.
Best of the Top 2500-3500 Blogs: Potomac Ponderings.
Because she's good and I'm taking this category from her next year!

I'm sure there are other deserving potential recipients, but I'm in need of a nap, so they'll have to scrape up their much needed votes elsewhere. If you've got a deserving nominee that I haven't listed---or aren't familiar with, because there are a lot bloggers out there---feel free to throw them in the comments.
Posted by Kathy at December 11, 2004 02:53 PMJust out of curiosity (and not because I'm a wannabe stalker or anything -- no, never!), how much of a "neighbor" is Mr. Lileks? Like, down the road? Just curious!
(and, nice new place, and I'll update sometime soon.)
Posted by: Adrianne Truett at December 11, 2004 11:45 PMI have his general location triangulated, but I haven't gone a-stalking. I've willfully restrained myself. Suffice it to say, if I wanted to find Jasperwood, it wouldn't take me too long. It's about a five minute drive.
Restraining myself from stalking hasn't kept me from wondering when I'm going to run into him, however. It's so weird whenever he writes about "the neighborhood." His pizza guys are my pizza guys. His Target is my Target, etc. One of these days it will happen and I will not know what the hell to do with myself.
I'll probably run and hide;)
