Happy day. :)

Firstly, my TW/DW fic 'What Torchwood needs, right now, is a Doctor!' (on LJ here, on the Teaspoon here) has been nominated in the Children of Time Awards! (There's a gazillion nominees, so I'm not going to win anything, but I hardly ever get nominated so I'm all a-squee! Thank you SO MUCH whoever was so kind as to put me forward!) ETA: Got myself a banner! :)



Then a few more Obama-related things, and then I swear I'll leave it all alone. Under the cut that gorgeous picture of the President and his Chief of Staff - mostly for my own sake. (ETA: [livejournal.com profile] obama_daily has a whole set of First Day at work photos.) It still makes me want to pinch my arm to check that I'm not dreaming. title or description
Comfy chair looks COMFY! Also, I notice that clearly someone made sure that Obama got shiny new shoes without holes in them!

Andrew Sullivan wrote about the speech here, and had me nodding along.

And here is another one of those things that that makes me wonder if this whole thing isn't written by Aaron Sorkin: Remarks By The President Welcoming Senior Staff And Cabinet Secretaries - 1/21/09. ("Let me say it as simply as I can: Transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency." He doesn't just say it - he's actively putting measures in place to enforce it.)

Anyway, I should probably point out that I do not agree with all of Obama's policies, and I'm sure he'll screw up sooner or later. Which reminds me that I ADORED Changefest '09 (The Daily Show). Too many hilarious things to quote, although I loved Jon's poor forlorn face w. the tooter! And [livejournal.com profile] anais_rhys put up the special end credits to The Daily Show from 1/19/09. (Not for Bush fans...)

Still, mockage can never be as funny as unintentional misuse of words... (Keep liquids far, FAR away. Best case ever of 'I don't think that means what you think it means'!)



And now I must run, this took FAR TOO LONG! Lots of love to you all! *smooches*
