See how merciful I can be? When I remember that other people don't necessarily enjoy cannibalism before breakfast? Then again, <a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/02/boyfriend-doesnt-have-ebola-probably.html">when one is attempting to build a better pain chart</a> (thank you, Hyperbole and a Half), sometimes it's necessary to find out where the limits are.<br /><br />I'm in a very Mira mood today, maybe because it's gray and raining, maybe because my weekend is like a katamari, and <i>full of things</i>, and maybe because, drullroll please...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rtbookreviews.com/rt-awards/nominees-and-winners?award_type=book&amp;year=2010"><i>FEED</i> is a 2010 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Nominee in the Science Fiction Category</a>! (For a slightly more compact ballot, focusing on the paranormal and science fiction nominees, <a href="http://paranormalromanceblog.com/2010/11/17/romantic-times-magazines-2010-reviewers-choice-nominees/">check this link</a>.)<br /><br />I am, like, crazy-excited over this, because this is a really big deal. The Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards are a great bellwether of quality and awesomeness, and this is my first time appearing on the ballot. I'm truly, totally jazzed. So, y'know. Fingers crossed and the apocalypse doesn't come!<br /><br />PANDEMIC DANCE PARTY FOR EVERYBODY!
