ODDS, ENDS, RED ENSIGNS AND AWARDS

I have been quite remiss at feeding the blog for the past few weeks, and my hit counts have justly suffered. I am no longer the Marauding Marsupial that I once was.

It serves me right.

I neglected to mention that Paul at Ravishing Light has hosted the tenth edition of the Red Ensign Standard, and worse, I am several weeks late at noting that Darcy of Dust my Broom hosted the ninth edition

Simon has, of course, offered several editions of Asia by Blog and has opened the 2004 Asia Blog Awards – - for which I must extend thanks to Carl and Steven for the nomination as Best Singapore Blog. I will lobby for votes when the time comes, although I expect to suffer a humbling defeat at the hands of Xiaxue.

Simon, by the way, deserves your vote as the Best Asian Blog at the 2004 Weblog Awards.

On a related I support the Flea as the Best Culture Blog, and Sir John of Argghhh! as Best Military Blog.

I have also neglected to reciprocate much recent blogrolling, particularly from new Red Ensign Bloggers. That is a task for the weekend. If I miss you send me a note at myrickblog-at-hotmail.com and I will make amends.
