It appears that this site is a finalist for Best Overall Blog in The Best of Blogs (BOB) Awards. 

My conscience urged me not to ask people to vote for me.  A few of my online friends are also finalists, such as Witt and Wisdom’s CW and Ordinary Morning’s Melly.  I don’t like to compete against friends, and I take my online friends just as seriously as my real ones. After all, online friends are much less likely to borrow my DVDs and never return them.

When Hamlet‘s Polonius advises his son Laertes to “Neither a borrower nor a lender be,” he likely wasn?t thinking about Alf: The Complete First Season.  Still, I can relate.

But then I remembered that Melly is hotter than me (as are most 20something Texas women), and CW is taller than me (as are most garden gnomes), so screw them both.  They’ve got theirs. I’m getting mine.  Vote for me.*

*And while you’re at it, drop a vote for my real-life friend Greg, who is up for Most Inspirational Blog.  And I can vouch that he’s just as inspirational in person as he is online, although he tends to direct his inspiration along the lines of “You’re done drinking?  For real? You spineless jellyfish.  I’m embarrassed to be sitting here with you” and then you’re inspired to order another Guiness.  Praise be!
