I’m up for a Canadian Blog Award. Before everyone gets too excited, I must admit that I nominated myself. I was kind of curious and wanted to see how the process worked. As it turns out, there does not appear to be any process at all. Anyone can nominate anyone in any category. Anything that receives a nomination is automatically eligible for voting. I’m in the Best Personal Blog category, but it’s quite arbitrary — there’s also a Best Parenting Blog category which seems to translate to, “People Who Blog Who Happen To Have Children Also.” There’s also Best Entertainment/Cultural Blog which is “People Who Blog Who Happen To Like Movies Also” and there’s Best Religious Blog which is “People Who Blog Who Happen To Go To Church Also.”

If you ask me, there should just be a division between personal blogs and professional blogs, and that’s that. But there I go, biting the hand that feeds me!

Anyway, I think it would be super duper cool if I got a ton of votes. Spread the love, people!

Vote by going here. The sites are in semi-random order so you’ll have to search through the list for TurtleHead.

Thank you for your patronage!
