Premio Dardos: Blog On Blog Love

First of all, in the words of Roseanne-Rosanna Dana, I've got to say, it's an extreme pleasure, a joy, a thrill, a chill, and a real snappy surprise to receive a Premio Dardos (Top Darts) Award from Mead Hunter. Thank you, Mead, for recognizing me: I'm glad to know that someone enjoys my twisted sense of purpose here at ghost light.

The rules for accepting the award are as follow:

1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person that has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to another 15 blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment.

3) Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

This was hard and has taken me many days of deliberation, during which I forgot to check in for jury duty. Thank goodness I was excused today. What happens when you blow off (I started to write blog off) jury duty? Anyway, the awards. A few of the blogs I read, such as BLOGORHEA and Splattworks, have already been awarded, but here is my list of blogs that I feel deserve to be singled out. And the Premio Dardos go to - hold your applause until I've read all the names now-

1. Theater for the Future
2. The Hub Review
3. Leon's Weblog
4. Tim Etchells
5. M. John Harrison
6. Museum of Doubt
   
7. Superhero Journal
8. Wish Jar
9. Ordinary Courage
10. Heading East
11. mono no aware
    
12. Compromise is Our Business
13. Project 1968
14. An Angry White Guy in Chicago
15. Suburban Bliss
    

I'd like to take more time and explain why each blog is deserving, but that would take this ceremony way past the shank of the evening. Instead, I'm going to break the list down and write about each one or a group of them in the weeks that follow. In the meantime, check them out - they inspire me every day and make me laugh, giggle, guffaw often.
