Thinky, Thinky 

Andrea, my friend and fellow Yogalilan has nominated me for the "Thinking Blogger" award.  Thanks, Andrea - considering that I find her blog always contains kernels of wisdom, I am well and truly honored.  As a nominee, it is my duty (in the meme-ly spirit of these awards) to go forth and nominate a few of the blogs that make me think.  So, here are three of the blogs that really make me think:

For longevity of thoughtitude, I have to go with Rana at "Frogs and Ravens." Over the years she has made me laugh, made me chime like a gong in resonant agreement, and of course, made me think.  Her writing is damn elegant, as well, which is always a plus in my book.

Lee Ann at "Fuzzy Logic Knits" is another funny, insightful woman.  Of late, she's also been dealing with some very weighty issues with grace, style, and humor.  Her honesty and courage impress me, even as she's making me laugh out loud.

Last up is not necessarily a blog per se, but fits enough of the normal standards for blogging in my book.  Jacob at Television Without Pity has a whirling, incandescent way with words, a geekily effulgent love for the subjects he chooses to write about, and an encyclopedic knowledge of poetry.  He weaves all of these together with compulsive readability in his recaps of Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica.

There is a button to go along with the award, but truth to tell, I'm too pooped to put it up.  Lazy, nonthinking blogger that I am.  

ETA - Da Rulez:

Winners, now you get to nominate five [or so - Ed.] blogs that make you think. Should you choose to participate, please make sure you pass this list of rules to the blogs you are tagging [sooner than I did].
