Big congratulations to:
Cheeseboy at Blog O Cheese! He passed the 500 followers mark a couple weeks ago and celebrated with a video of him picking up Chinese food in a Barney suit. Really! (He offered me the use of the suit, but I said no thanks.) Go watch the insanity HERE
Arlee Bird at Tossing it Out! The A – Z Challenge mastermind passed 500 followers this week. Good stuff, man!
Maybe we need to start a 500 Club, guys? (No, not a hair club!)
Ciara Knight has an experiment in the works – Did I Notice Your Book? And was I ever stunned with her first choice – CassaStar! I am so honored. Thank you, Ciara – guess I’m doing something right. Wonder whose book she’ll notice next week…
Oh! And the eBook price on CassaStar was reduced by my publisher! It's now $2.95 everywhere - iBookstore, B&N's Nook, Amazon's Kindle...
Michelle at Beautiful Chaos gave me the You Make Me Smile Award. Thank you, Michelle!
And since I usually give these out to the ladies, I decided to grace the dudes with this one!
Dezz at Hollywood Spy
Jeremy at I Zombie Lover
Geof at The Man Cave
Jeffrey at World of the Scribe
Kal at Calvin’s Canadian Cave of Cool
Michael at In Time
TS at The Non Review
Paul Joseph
Copyboy at Not Worth Mentioning
All right guys – I better see a cute kitten in your sidebar!

And big thanks to Chris and Elizabeth for allowing me to visit their blogs this week, and to Denise for her amazing review of my book. You guys rock!
Whew! Is that it? Is this a wrap? I wonder what's on NetFlix...

Burn Notice is on my neflix :)
Sounds like a great week! Looking forward to having you over at my blog on Monday. Have a great weekend!
We just finished Beverly Hills Chihuahua II. Ugh! Some sequel should not be made. Hope you find better fortune.
That's a lot!
Lots of happy news today, I see. Congrats to everyone!
Love Ciara's experiment...similar to my stalking Craig Niedermaier except she's got better odds of success. LOL
It's all go Alex, loved the post and all the news, sorry I can't make Sunday but am busy getting things ready for my trip next Thursday.
I fly from Gatwick to Charlotte wherever that is wait a few hours then on to Nashville. Hope the weather is kind, as I have heard about blizzards
Congratulations on your award, very well deserved,
Yvonne,
Congrats!
Sounds like everything is going swimmingly for you.
:-)
After all that, my week seemed very calm.
Vicki, thank you for the early morning laugh!
Thanks Yvonne, and you have a safe trip! Charlotte's just a few hours from where I live - and hopefully no snow when you get here.
Gail, my life used to be calm...
Thanks everyone!
congrats to Arlee and Cheesboy.
So how many copies have you sold so far from CASSASTAR? Is the marketing going on well?
And thanks for the award, it's my second one in just one day :) I shall proudly display it in my award shelf for everyone to see it. Hope that kitten doesn't need live mice to be feed.

A heap of good news there my friend! I love the idea of your dudes now displaying cute kitties :)
I canceled my netflix. I want new releases/British movies and I do not want to wait for the mailman.

I'm Smiling because you gave that cute kitty to the guys. Way to go!
Happy Weekend.
I need to remember to watch that video when I reach a computer with sound. Have a good weekend.
Congratulations on your awards Alex. Well done!
Dez, I think it's a low-maintainence cat. And sales seem to be doing really well!
Yes ladies, I decided to torture - I mean award! - some dudes.
Thanks everyone!
That's a lot Alex. Best horror film line ever, "Brains."
Nancy
N. R. Williams, fantasy author
You have had a busy week! Congratulations! Now I need to go check out some of the links in this post.
Alex- that's a whole lot going on. Congrats on your award, you do make people smile! I hope you have a relaxing weekend!
Hey, Alex,
Congrats on award and the great stuff happening for you this week!
Thanks for the SMILE award. I don't mind having another.... Thanks for thinking of the dudes.
Michael
Alex: Thank you for the award. I'm glad to know that what I do makes a difference in other people's lives, a fact I sometimes forget all too well.
Great things happening for a great guy! :)
Have a fantastic weekend!
Thanks so much, Alex. I appreciate the award. I'm looking forward to April's challenge.
Have a great weekend!
That Kitteh is teh cute!
Oh my a lot has been happening!
500 followers club! That's club, but no not a hair club--doesn't work for me anymore.
My "Movie Quotes Blogfest" entry is ready to go. It turned out better than I thought it would thanks to the IMDb website -- I can't remember movie lines.
Lee
Tossing It Out and the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2011
Congrats to the Dudes!
Thanks Alex! That one is so happy looking and speaks to me on whole other (cat) level.
Wow, you have a lot going on! Love that kitty. I have Burn Notice on my Netflix, catching up on season 1 since I didn't get into it until season 2. I'll be checking out iZombie and Ellie for sure.
Wow, lots of stuff going on! Sounds like a great week, Alex. Hope you have an equally good weekend.
Nancy, I know that one!
Karen, yes you can if you have a BluRay DVD player.
You're welcome, Michael.
Jeffrey, you certainly just made my day! I'll shout it out on my next post.
You're welcome, Paul.
Lee, I used IMDB to get my lines correct as well. Of course, I kept adding to the list that way...
You're welcome, TS!
Melissa, Burn Notice is really popular today.
Thanks guys!
Sounds like a busy, happy week! Hope you'll have a great weekend, too. :)
Thanks for all the links. Just went to visit Blog O Cheese. And love Arlee and Ciara!
A 500 Club sounds good, unless it concerns bedpost notches, and your spouse is a charter member.
I used to have NetFlix, but my husband wasn't too impressed with the selection..? We have Apple TV though, but not HBO. Go figure. Lol.
I ordered your book from Amazon, should be delivered next week!
Lots of reasons to smile about! Congrats to the dudes on their smilin kitty! :)
Congrats to you and everyone on all of this. Great pics for the cute kitty award, Alex.
Happy weekend.

I am so honored that you'd mention me, Alex. Thank you. You have been a good blog friend through thick and thin. Well, mostly thin.
You still have me by one follower. I best up my game.
Oh, I'm so happy for you! That's a lot of great news.
Way to go Alex! CassaStar seems to still be going strong on the blogosphere. I know I can't wait for the sequel. Perhaps I'll have to pester you for another interview. :)
What an adorable award! I'm doing the AtoZ challenge. Should be fun. And, yes, it sounds like you had a very buxy week.
BTW, your book does totally rock. =D
Congratulations to all the members of the 500 club!
I'm really looking forward to April's A to Z challenge. Should be interesting!
Sounds like a great week! Now to get more details about this A to Z Challenge...
Lots of exciting things to smile about!
Thanks for checking out my new blog Alex. Congrats on getting 500+ followers. I would love to have that many. The reason I switched over is that everyone keeps telling me that Wordpress is better and that it's more professional. I want to do more professional work and I want to monetize my blog. I'm gonna give it a year and if it doesn't work I'm gonna go back to Blogger. I am posting on it as well. Just not publishing them.
As for Netflix I'm watching Bones and as for the A-Z challenge I'm in. April is gonna be crazy for me. Major changes happening them but I'm gonna make it happen.
Congratulations to you and the other recipients on the award! :) Sounds like it was some week.
alex, thank you... i am happy and smiling. and thanks for the shout out on the blogfest-fest ellie and i are having...
funny thing it falls on the super bowl and you can tell we are people who don't care... about football!

Congrats on your award! I'm off to find your book. Been on my TBR list too long. Have a great weekend.
It was a pleasure to highlight your book, Alex. I’m looking forward to downloading it tonight, and putting it on my Goodreads shelf. I’m also looking forward to the A-Z blog challenge.
You as well, Elizabeth!

Beer, not a chance...
Aleta, wow! Thank you so much.
Cheeseboy, after your stunt, you'll be way in the lead again soon!

You have been one busy blogger/author this week. Now, relax, sit back and watch The Monster from the Swamp or Sex In The City, whichever is scarier.
Life, I think I will as well!
Doo, I know you will.
Helen, Parker's nose is far scarier!! Thanks.
You got through a heck of a lot there. Congrats on the award, that's such a cute kitten!

Thanks, Saumya! I try. And I have a surprise in store for the A to Z Challenge...
Thanks for the blog award love Alex. You rock the kazbah!
Congrats on the CassaStar developments! I loved the book and it deserves every bit of praise that comes it's way (and your way)!
Congrats to those you awarded! I know most of them, but will check out those I don't...
Awesome kitten photo on that award. Can you tell I've turned into a kitten's pet?
Thanks, Pat!
Patricia, I imagine your house is one big furball right now.
