Thanks, Awards, Star Wars, and a Response!

Thanks to everyone who’s voted over at The Movie 411! I’m nominated for Best Sci-Fi Blog of 2010 – and really stunned I’m one of the front runners. Plus buddies Dezz, Nebular, and RaShelle are nominated as well. Voting ends December 14th. And Clarissa at Listen to the Voices just posted her review of CassaStar! Thank you so much, Clarissa. Still moving along with my NaNo project. Should hit 50,000 words next weekend. Those of you who asked all the interesting questions – stay tuned next week for answers!
Elizabeth Mueller gave me the Grasshopper award! Thank you, Elizabeth. (She’s one of my Fantastic Friday Writers buddies.) Passing this on to Jeffrey Beesler at World of the Scribe
Ella gave me the You Deserve a Star Today award! I’ve received this award previously, so I’ll just thank Ella for her generosity! Just caught this the other day - the third installment of the Family Guy Star Wars trilogy comes out next month! Here's the trailer for "It's a Trap!"

  1. Congratulations on the awards and I'm gonna have to get my husband to become and 'official' follower of your blog. You've posted nearly all of his favorite ladies!

    Ms. Munn hasn't been on atos lately....? Is she doing her own thing somewhere?

  2. Words Crafter, your husband has good taste!
    Olivia has been doing some acting, so she's not been on Attack of the Show much over the past year. Guess she got popular!

  9. that miss Munn really knows how to entice her male fans - not only that she's lovely but she also dressed herself as Princess Leia which is the favourite fantasy of every male geek and nerd.

  10. Thanks, Jemi, and hope your husband gets to view the lovely ladies.

    Jamie and Chris, I shall keep fighting for male bloggers everywhere!

    Jules, it's the weapon of choice!

    Thanks, Matthew!

    Dezz, that's why I chose that particular photo!

    What was that sound? Oh, it's the sound of all the Star Wars geeks out there that just passed out from seeing Olivia Munn.

    Oh well. They'll recover.

    Thanks, Jane!

    And thank you everyone! Wow, I feel overwhelmed.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I can see the male bloggers are thrilled with this post, Alex! For my part, Kate Winslet is one of my favourite actresses so I was happy to see her :-) Olivia Wilde, on the another hand, just annoys me on House.

    ReplyDelete
  49. sounds like you're having a great month with the awards and Nano progress. Congrats!

    The eye candy doesn't do much for me, but it's only fair since there seems to be a lot more beefcake around the blogosphere.

    ReplyDelete

  53. I think your awards are great and am so happy to hear that you are making your word count for NaNo. That is fantastic.

    I don't object to the pictures posted. They are some of the most lovely women in Hollywood.

    ReplyDelete

  55. I read Clarissa's post and can I say, way to go, Alex. The trailer was funny. The ladies, well, were is that blanket or sheet or a hoodie to cover them with.

  56. Cheeseboy, you are welcome!

    Sangu, you should be safe now - since Olivia's acting career has taken off, I doubt she'll return to House.

    Vicki, yes there is!

    Dempsey, thanks! Kate's my girl! In my dreams anyway.

    Budd, you are welcome.

    Thanks, Regina. I only selected decent photos as well.

    Thanks, Stepehn!

    Thanks, Nancy. And at least they do have on clothes, which is more than I can say for most of the male images I saw this past weekend.
