well I know what *I* am nominating for Yuletide
(via 
seperis, who is more concerned about the robotic self aspects of this news) SELF-AWARE ROBOT DINOSAURS ON THE TITANIC II
Speaking of yuletide, if you haven't seen
elynross's announcement over there, she is stepping down, sniffle. But the awesome
hhertzof,
jenn_calaelen, and
bridgetmc are stepping up, and am so glad to have them coming on board! ♥ There will probably be announcements soon about this year's challenge, so keep your eye out -- pro tip: if you have an LJ account you can sign up to be notified by email any time a post is made in the yuletide_admin community.
As for the rest of my day, it can accurately be summed up by this one quote from Hypatia's abortive first dentist visit: "When they're crying their mouth is usually open and we can get in there." How about NO, wtf, she's TWO.
Oh, and then Open Office crashed hideously and took four pomodoros of work with it. I clenched my jaw and slogged through another three and managed to recreate all the lost work, and in the end it came out better and I managed to reach 1000 words for the day, so I am calling that a win and closing the book on the day.
BUT, a couple of happy recs to close with! sisabet and sweetestdrain posted their awesome Challenge vid The Sellout, which is a multifandom awesome women vid that really hit me emotionally -- that moment with Buffy and Xena in the middle of the vid totally gets me every time I watch.
Also I loved hollywoodgrrl's Run Boy Run Game of Thrones vid, also about the awesome women of that show.
(I do note that both of these have graphic violence against women so be prepared for it if you watch!)
