*Gasp!*
The finalists have just been announced for the 2005 Bloggies.
This Fish is up for Weblog of the Year!
Now, it would be useless to even try to be coy about this -- I'm giddy as can be! So all I'm gonna say is: Catch the giddy. Go vote!
(And Stephanie is up for ‘Best Writing’. I’m just sayin’.)
De-lurking to say congratulations! I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. You definitely deserve the nomination-- I'm off to vote for you.

in any case, i will be invoking the Wookiee rule should the vote come out even remotely close (i'll supply the Wookiee).
btw - this is already weblog of the year, and has been for quite some time. i'm just saying.

Posted by: Mike at January 24, 2005 11:37 AMWhat is this "Gawker" of which they speak?
Posted by: G at January 24, 2005 01:27 PMHey, that rocks. Glad to see my nomination helped, :). Love your site, you deserve the props.
Posted by: Rebecca at January 24, 2005 02:01 PMFelicidades!! That's fabulous -- I'm off to cast a vote for you :)
Posted by: Principessa at January 24, 2005 02:43 PMawesome! I voted, of course. But how cool those awards are at SXSW in my hometown! Too bad I have to be back in Memphis on the 13th. :P
Oh wow, but Fish, if you win *knock on wood* (but of course you will) and you end up in Austin when I am, we must rendezvous!
Posted by: lauren at January 24, 2005 02:54 PMWhat do you win?
Posted by: Robotnik at January 24, 2005 03:37 PMRecognition? Yeah, that's it. Recognize!
Posted by: Fish at January 24, 2005 03:38 PMi voted, and wish you best of luck. i am always giving props to your site!
Posted by: red at January 24, 2005 04:17 PMI went to vote for another site in another category, then went through the others. I checked out each site, and voted for yours. I wish you the best of luck, and I am glad to have found your site.
Posted by: Noran at January 24, 2005 04:48 PMYou already have that. What else? An IPOD?
Posted by: Robotnik at January 24, 2005 05:00 PMwell, you definitely got my vote for weblog of the year, and it was a much-deserved nomination.
sadly, i cannot get on board with your recommendation for the best writing category...for, uh, you know...obvious reasons.
:)
best of luck!
Posted by: julia at January 24, 2005 05:30 PMOh, I will totally vote for you...your site is waaay cooler than Wonkette!!
Posted by: Rachel at January 24, 2005 08:22 PMBetter start writing your victory speech...
Posted by: Plantation at January 24, 2005 09:11 PMCongrats!
Posted by: John at January 24, 2005 11:57 PM
go fish!
Is this blog running against the Wonkette? If so, Why? Totally different blogs.
Posted by: Robotnik at January 25, 2005 09:59 AMI voted for YYOU
Posted by: ali at January 25, 2005 09:59 AMRobotnik,
I think that's sorta the point of this category. It seems to represent taste. The question: "What's your favorite weblog?" doesn't really require them to be of any certain genre.
Posted by: Fish at January 25, 2005 10:10 AMHi Fish. Just found your blog through Brando @ One Child Left Behind. I LOVE IT! I'm catching up now. Great too find another NY blog. I tried to vote but the site was down...I'll try again later.
Come check me out if you get a sec.
Good luck and I'll be back!
Posted by: Last Girl On Earth at January 25, 2005 10:32 AMYou got my nomination and vote :)
Posted by: muffy at January 25, 2005 11:56 AMYou're up against some amazing competition: Gawker? Wonkette?? Wonkette's been on MTV!
Fish on VH1 (or MTV) can't be far behind.
Well, I guess you were in the NYT and on NPR. I suppose that's kind of like the same thing, different plane. But in the same category as Gawker, Wonkette and Boing Boing - you is set to BLOW UP!
Posted by: Michael R at January 25, 2005 02:39 PMCan I vote that Wonkette sucks bollix?? And can I throw in Drudge, also? Is there a site for THAT?
Posted by: Robotnik at January 25, 2005 03:25 PMway to go.
Posted by: winks at January 25, 2005 03:29 PMI'm giddy for you. Odd, I normally don't do giddy.
Seriously though, congratulations! You'll have my vote as soon as the site is back up.
Posted by: mark at January 25, 2005 09:42 PMWhat a gorgeous site! Greetings from South Africa :-)
Your site definitely has my vote ... Good Luck!
Have been trying to vote for you for the past three days, but i keep getting the dreaded message of bandwith exceeded.. But i will keep trying...
