In case you have been living in a desert for the last week or so, the Irish Blog Awards have come around again.
It is the time of year to nominate your favourite Irish blog.
I haven’t voted yet. I’m still pondering.
There are a few I have decided on though….
Best Newcomer - This has to be K8 the GR8. Not because she’s my daughter, but because I love her writing and her off-beat approach to things. I installed Windows Live Writer on her PC yesterday, so I hope she’ll be posting a lot more.
Best Photo Blog - I’ll have to go with Red Mum on this one. Though it’s a very tough call.
Food and Drink? The Humble Housewife.
Best Blog from a Journalist will have to go to Sarah at GUBU.
Best Designed Blog - Sabrina Dent.
As for Best Blog? Best Blog Post? Most Humorous Post? I don’t know. There are so many. I can’t decide. HELP!!!

Americans are weird.
I just cannot understand this thing they have for guns.
They rant about their ‘right to bear arms’. They train their kids to shoot before they can walk. Some of them have guns in every room.
And then they worry that they may get shot.
They cry out in horror when some kid goes ballistic [hah!] and shoots a load of people. They’re scared to sack someone in case he returns with an Uzi.
I came across this site a while ago [I can't remember how or where] and I didn’t know what to make of it.
It is the most surreal website I have ever come across. I thought at first it was a joke, but I don’t think it is.
Just take a look at the products on offer, and ask yourself if this is a mature society.
I think the scariest part is the video they have so proudly embedded on their front page. Look at the woman and her casual attitude. Look at her expression at the end. Is she fit to be a mother?
Take a look, and let me know what you think. Am I mad? Are they mad? Is the whole world going mad?
I’m going down to my corner shop, and I’m going to buy myself a Magnum.
It’s a chocolate covered ice-cream on a stick.
