Yuletime

[bironic]

Speaking of roundups: Here is my fill for the Yuletide meme:






...ha.

But while we're on the subject of annual holidayish fanwork exchange fests, UGH FESTIVID WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DIFFICULT. :/ If it were a dress I was presenting on Project Runway, Nina Garcia would tut at how parts of it look tortured.

Eh. I'm sure it'll break loose eventually. Until then, there is a surprise extra day off Monday and a trip to synn's to be had. Might need some luck for the drive back next week, weather-wise. Hope those of you who're traveling haven't been too messed up by the midwest storm.

In conclusion:

Apologies if this isn't open-access beyond certain U.S. institutions -- it really ought to be, especially the Christmas issue -- but the Case report of E.T.—The Extra-Terrestrial is my favorite article (so far) of the British Medical Journal's annual holiday spoof issue. Even if the one explaining Rudolph's red nose as having to do with excess nasal vascularization is getting more press around here.

Lol, I had no idea there was somebody else on my flist who reads the BMJ. Their December issue is legendary. My first year in the UK somebody had done a survey of 'unusual presentations to A&E at full mood' with reference to a 'proposed lycan virus epidemy'. I re-read the article three times thinking I misunderstood something before finally asking somebody about it. *doh*
