The final Nebula ballot for 2007 has been posted at SFWA.  Congratulations to everyone whose stories and books and scripts made it this far.  I myself am not holding out to win against the likes of that competition.  Seeing how it’s the Oscars time of year and all, I’ll risk saying I would be made ridiculously happy if they were funny and made silly jokes about the nominees like Ellen Degeneres did.  If an MC hasn’t already been selected, I vote for Gwenda Bond.  She can carry off a joke with the best of them. 

Now I have to figure out what to wear!  😉
