the light in the darkness

It is 1 December, and I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, metaphorically speaking and in relation to only some of the things I have to do. I would know it is December even if I were a zombie, because the assault of Christmas music everywhere has begun.

Speaking of light, I wish all who are celebrating a blessed and happy Channukah.

Speaking of December, it's Advent; it's the day Rosa Parks refused to move; it's also World AIDS Day.

This will make some people very happy: Ellen Kushner's "The Man with the Knives" is now available to read online for free. This makes me very happy: there is a new yhlee story in the wild! 

troisroyaumes has a great post in complementary reaction to Doodh se Dhuli by deepad and gross, weird, inedible (redux) by vi. I highly recommend reading all three of them.

And so back to work.
