While wandering around ScienceBlogs yesterday I read that my fellow med-blogger Orac has been nominated as a finalist in the 2006 Weblog Awards under the catagory "Best Medical/Health Issues Blog." Congratulations to him and to the other ScienceBloggers finalists: Pharyngula, Deltoid, Good Math Bad Math and Mixing Memory.
Unaccustomed as I am to self-promotion I wasn't sure if I should bleat the news that I was nominated too, but since we live in interesting times I asked myself "What would the typical Hollywood celebrity do?" Thus you see my decision to join the glittering crowd of egotistical gasbags out hustling their puerile talents.
I feel so much better now - I can almost hear you all wishing me the best...

Congratulations! You are supposed to say, "It is an honor just to be nominated." At least that is what all the movie stars say at the Oscars ...
Of course I wish you the best! Right now, I wish all oncologists nothing but great big glasses of [insert favorite beverage] and a world full of bouncing, neverending pink kittens.
I came to your website via "As The Tumor Turns". Thanks for the Sunday poem from Neruda. I haven't thought about his work in a long time. Your choice is propitious because of Pinochet's death this week. It also inspired me to write about Neruda myself. Come visit The Testosterone Zone.
