Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

[mithen]

I'm at an academic conference in Las Vegas! Not surprisingly, not much work is getting done. But I'm listening to Thelonious Monk's "I Surrender, Dear," and I know where I'm going next on my Yuletide fic (these two things are unconnected, it's just that Thelonious Monk is awesome), so I just have to find some time and I'll be rolling along, I know it. How goes Yuletide, NaNo, whatever busyness has kept you busy this November?
