I'd like to thank the academy...

Had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw this. Thanks to the wonderful Gillian Horvath, I've been given a pair of Brillante Awards for my blogs.



I can honestly say it's not an honor just to be nominated. It's an honor to win TWO of them!

So big thanks to Gillian. But as part of this, I'm supposed to pass the award on to seven great blogs. So many great blogs, but here're the ones that I'm giving the Brillante Award to-

-Eric Trueheart's Life is More Beautiful than you Deserve!. The Honorary Mayor of Sexy Town (self appointed title?) has the most random blog ever, and it's awesome. He currently has pictures of his Mego Spock that he took on vacation to Peru.

-Mark Evanier's News From Me is constantly updated. In the time it took me to write one blog post, he's probably put up six or seven about comic books, politics, cartoons, actors, old tv shows, and barbecue sauce.

-John Rogers's Kung Fu Monkey. Politics, comic books, tv shows, movies, and geek stuff. Nuff said.

-Tom Hart's Live on Tape. Alas, he doesn't update it enough (something to do about constantly working). But when he blogs something, it's always riotously funny.

-Christie St. Martin's Funny Pages 2.0 is my favorite source for funny, geeky, and cool on that series of tubes we call the interwebs.

-Gotta give props to Rich Hammond's Inside the Kings blog. Sports talk on the internet is always pretty lousy, with know-it-alls taking turns trying to shout louder than the next guy. Then someone like Rich Hammond comes along and brings intelligent insight and commentary.

-And while I'm on sports, the last honor has to go to Gilbert Arenas - Agent Zero: The Blog File. Professional NBA players should not be this good at writing. Arenas is funny, honest, opinionated, and has some great great stories.
