And lo it came to pass that the call once again went out throughout the realm of Irish blogdom. And the call was: “Dance, monkeys, dance!”
Yes, it’s time for the Blog Awards Ireland 2014 and I’m hoping that, like last year, one of you kind folks would be willing to nominate me. Last year Unshaved Mouse did very well, getting nominations for best Newcomer and Humour blog and even getting shortlisted for best Pop Culture Blog. This time around I’m no longer eligible for best Newcomer (bit too long in the tooth) but if you wanted to nominate me for the Arts & Culture (not Pop Culture), Humour and Best Blog Post categories that’d be just swell.
And don’t forget, getting nominated means I have to work extra hard to get your votes meaning more content between regular uploads, more articles, more best-of lists and basically me being your bitch to the exclusion of all dignity from now until the middle of September.
What’s not to love?

Uh..issue…it asks for the blog owners email address….
and county. Gaaaaaah
Mouse, we’re going to need a few things.
1. your email address.
2.What county you reside in.
Then I’ll get you nominated.
I second that.
Yes… tell us where you live…
While I don’t know how good an idea this is I live in Dublin and the address is neilsharpson@gmail.com
My master plan to get the e-mail address worked. Now I can take over the world. Muhahhahahahaahha! Oops, did I just type that out loud?
An email chain letter? CURSE YOU HECHT!
Mouse being our bitch… mmm… COUNT WITH ME!!!!
Holy cow, it’s already been a year since the awards last happened? Holy cow that went by quickly
I know, right?
Been enjoying your blog for the past month or so. Kept me up quite late a few times to catch up with your brilliant dissection of the Disney canon. I’ll nominate you. And your little dog too.
You’ll nominate my dog with a blog? But his blog is just shameless click bait and vapid celebrity gossip!
Don’t talk like that about your dog! It’s doing the best that it can!
Everytime he writes about a Kardasian I rub his nose in it.
But that’s what I love most about your dog. That and the storyof a mouse owning a dog both of which control a vast online empire may be the greatest movie I have never seen.
It was called Mouse with a Dog with a Blog. It was garbage. Had to make it, contractual obligations.
cough, cough, Micky and Pluto, cough, cough XD
I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while now, and I must say it is fantastic. So fantastic that I was compelled to create my own WordPress just so I could comment. (Btw, I nominated you, even though I don’t live in Ireland. Is that allowed? I don’t care. :P)
Anyway, you’ve helped to inspire my love of animation, and I look forward to your posts every Thursday. Keep doing what you’re doing. 🙂
Thank you very much. You’re absolutely allowed to vote from outside of Ireland.
I sincerely hope that didn’t come off as creepy… 0.0
Not a bit. Trust me, I know creepy.
Wow, that was very quick. It seems like the awards ended a few months ago. Nonetheless, I nominated you. Hope you win, or get very far this year. Your blog is mainstream now.
What review is tomorrow? I forgot.
TRANSFORMERS! (Robots in disguise)
Hey… not really animation related, but Irish related – something you may want to take a look at (if you haven’t already)…

Yeah. Working on a post. Jesus Christ.
