I had one glass of champagne at midnight last night (this morning? Sounds decadent!) and<\/a> toasted the new year. At 12:05, after getting drunken calls from in-laws, we crawled into bed and I fired up Twitter on my iPad to take my mind off the bed spins (cheap champers) where I was greeted with the announcement that this here blog won the Canadian Weblog Award for Best LBGTQ Blog! Colour me Verklempt!<\/p>\n

I know I berated one of you dear readers into nominating me in the first place. To you, I say THANK YOU. To the rest of you who regularly read and take no actions, expect banner ads. Just kidding.<\/p>\n

I am now going to get myself an agent and start hitting up Oprah for a spot on her show before she retires.<\/p>\n

What to expect for 2011? More vertical integration! Videodrome-style ad implementation! Craigslist sex ads refugee stations! Coupons!<\/p>\n

Seriously, thanks for reading! And congratulations to the other nominees, I honestly believed they’d win out over me.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
