An Ambiguously Ambiguous Award

Last week, boXer girl bestowed upon me the very special Pico y Arte award. Now, I'm excellent in Spanish (ha! not so much, but I'm not half bad either), and the translation still doesn't exactly explain this title. But who am I to pass up any sort of award? Vain, party of one, right here.

So, in essence, as I'm not really sure who to mention in my acceptance speech for what exactly (as again, this award is for...???), I'd like to thank The Cat for finally learning that the white sheet is his bed, and thus preventing my purple duvet cover from turning into one giant black hairball.


And yeah, here are the rules for this super awesome, LEGEN...wait for it...DARY award:

1) Pick five blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.

2) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

3) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award which is here: Arte y Pico.


Well, now, when I read 50 or so blogs religiously, how am I to choose just five? Especially since all the blogs are creative, interesting, unique, etc. etc. etc., or else why would I be reading them? So I'm going to give one Arte y Pico award to bloggers in five different categories instead...drum roll please:

**Best Canadian Blog (eh?)
Cheaper than Therapy

**Most Aesthetic Site (i.e. Most Talented Photographer)
Life in Pajamas

**Best "Anything Goes" Blog
Chelsea Talks Smack

**Most Likely to Be the Next Bobby Flay
Jemima Blog

**Most Loyal Commenter Who Doesn't Blog Nearly Enough (hint, hint, Teej!)
Smells Like Happy

Oh wait, I'm breaking the rules and adding a sixth...and seventh:

**Best New Redesign
Speedy Canizales

**Best Site Written by a Lawyer that has Nothing Whatsoever to do with the Legal System
SLynnRo


Um yeah, so this was essentially just a way to tell you all what I'm reading this days. Ha, fooled ya!

Speaking of Ali and Canada and how we're country flopping this week (boo!)...here I am (eh)! I'll try to post regularly while I'm gone, you know considering I'm really just in a more northern part of America (ha! kidding, Canadians! I know you bunch hate nothing more than to be considered part of our country), and since it's not like I'm traveling the far depths of Bhutan where Internet access is non-existent. But just in case I'm having too much fun with my friend Evan who I studied with in Edinburgh ages ago to pop by and say hello, I've pre-posted some content to keep you all nice and fat and happy. And more Alaska when I come back, I promise. Until then, tootles, y'all!
