Yesterday at 4 pm, I laid idly by in my bed, contemplating the terrible prospect of actually getting up and doing something. Anything, really. Because, you know… that’s how I usually prepare myself for the suckiest day of the year.

Well, as it turns out, it wasn’t meant to be. I spent 80% of Sunday making my best impression of cabbage, of all things (and making a deep impression on my mattress, by the way). Not particularly productive cabbage, either. Just your regular, edible vegetable.

So it was within this mindset that I received the email notifying me that I had been nominated for the bloggies. It was a very nice surprise, and an excellent change of pace for a day mostly squandered in counting the cracks of my roof (87), so thank you very very much. You all rock. Hard.

I’m up for the Latin American thingie again. This time it’s 3 blogs in English and 2 in Spanish, so I fully expect part of the Romantic language blogosphere to erupt in chants of “the bloggies have sold out! OMG!! teh suck!”. Again.

So there it is. For those just coming in: If you want to familiarize yourself with the site, the archives are a good place to start, particularly the top rated category. Of course, there’s also the comic, now a relic of times past.

I also want to take this opportunity to announce that I’ll be dropping by to SXSW interactive, and I’m in desperate need of roommates because I’m a cheap bastard willing to sleep on a park bench if that means I’ll be able to save for a G4 powerbook / digital camera. If you are attending, drop me a line. If you read the site you’ll realize I’m a hygienic, agreeable and most illustrious person. Not at all an obsessive compulsive, drunk, paranoid sex-obsessed freak with a knack for dating psychos. At all.
