Alotaboutnothing.com has been pushed through to the finals for the 2009 Black Weblog Awards, in the category of [drumroll please]… Best Food Blog! Yeah, I know that you’re thinking, “Monique, you’re blog isn’t called ‘Alotaboutfood'”. Well that’s obviously correct, but I have enough posts and reviews on food, recipies and kitchen gadgets that should warrent a best food (and more) blog title! :D
So for all you faithful readers out there, please visit vote.blackweblogawards.com and vote for my blog, Alotaboutnothing.com, in the “Best Food Blog” category. I know there’s a lot of other great blogs out there, but I assure you that there will be plenty of recipes to come by the end of this month (I am a self-proclaimed procrastinator and my hard drive is filled with food photos I have yet to post the recipes for).
Thanks! Alotaboutnothing for the win!
Don’t get me wrong: I love my city. But this city-wide strike didn’t leave me feeling very proud of the T Dot.
Senator Barack Obama has just been elected the 44th president of the United States of America. This is definitely history in the making. Wow… what an evening watching the polls, knowing where I was when the first African-American maintained a victory and is now at the helm of the White House. Truly amazing. It’s also great to see so many young people and first-time voters taking an interest in politics and realizing that their vote really counts.
A record number of American voters are expected to cast their votes later today and be a part of what is probably the most historical presidential election in U.S. history. If all goes according to what the pre-election polls say, we may very much see the first African-American President of the United States. Perhaps now we are ready to see that, unlike what the late Tupac Shakur’s 1998-released track entitled “Changes” (ironically) states. There is also a chance that we’ll also see the the oldest person elected to a first term, and the first woman vice president (and perhaps president herself soon if the former doesn’t allow his age to get the best of him).
