That’s right, starting right now and for the next twenty-four hours it’s Frances Mai-Ling and Whimsical Brainpan Appreciation Day here on Assorted Nonsense. Because these two (along with a handful of others) have been the greatest supporters of this site. If I haven’t made it clear in the past, let me make it perfectly clear right now that even if Frances and Whim never comment again on any post on this blog they have already won themselves a secure place in the heart of this blogger.Thanks Frances and Whim! Everybody go check out their sites now and give them an honoured place in your blogroll. Um, please.

While I’m on the subject of blogging, somebody noted the other day that Assorted Nonsense has pretty much been the Best Of Assorted Nonsense these days. It’s true, I have been indulging in a lot of reposts, and the reason for this is twofold: one, I’m getting everything back online that was lost in the immolation of the original Assorted Nonsense, and two, I haven’t had a lot of time for original posts these days between my day job, my family, my novel, and story editing Canadia.

And if you’ll forgive me veering wildly from one subject to another, speaking of Canadia, congratulations to my good friend Matt Watts, the writer and star of Canadia, on his ACTRA nomination for Best Voice Actor for his work on the pilot of Canadia which we did together what seems like years ago. Way to go Matt!Now everyone go celebrate both Matt’s nomination and the first annual Frances Mai-ling and Whimsical Brainpan Day.
