What about BoB?

Filed under: Headline Shooter

Hooray! Emdashes is a finalist in the Best of Blogs awards this year, in the Best Book/Literary Blog category. I can't think of a better one-year birthday present. Voting ends soon, so look for the form on BoB (I can't seem to find it, but I'll link when I do; here it is). Here are the rules:

On January 10 we will publish the finalists, and provide a form for voting online for the fan’s choice.

The fans will vote on a blogger and the resulting vote will count as a percentage of the overall vote to be put forth by the jury panel. Popular vote will only be a small portion of the overall decision making process, but it will allow some participation on behalf of the blog reading public.

All winners will be announced on January 30, 2006. (That's when voting ends, too.)

I feel so Felicity Huffman right now. In every sense possible.

Later: The other blogs in my category rock. I'll be happy when any one of them wins, for real. Don't miss this second-by-second account of the Golden Globes by Sheila of The Sheila Variations; it's sidesplittingly good. Anyone who puts a Gibson Girl at the top of her blog is OK in my...book.

They say that dashes “are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex.” Emdashes—like em dashes—emphasizes what’s between: in particular, between the lines, covers, and issues of a magazine close to my heart.
