Musical Advent Calendar: Day Eighteen

I love Joan Osborne. It's a guilty pleasure. Today's songs are from her Christmas album, "Christmas Means Love", which came out in 2007. The first, "Children Go Where I Send Thee", is a pretty faithful version of the traditional spiritual. The second is that most creepy of traditional carols, "The Cherry Tree Carol", aka the song wherein Joseph's kind of a hater, Mary's one of those pregnant chicks, and unborn baby Jesus is kind of creepy.

Joan Osborne -- Cherry Tree Carol

My sister and I had a pretty big fight last night. Then we made up via a series of text messages. I am exhausted this morning as a result of being up too late and yelling a lot. And I have to go back over there in an hour to watch her kids so she can work out, because her husband's still out of town. We have a very codependent relationship.

After that I need to get those costumes started, then I have an early dinner with the Weirdo Writers, then I go back to my sister's to help with the kids some more. I put in for next Thursday off work, because I am seriously never going to finish these costumes by Christmas. Though if I do, I will win Most Popular Present Of the Season, so I'm motivated. (What? It's totally a contest.)

Also this morning, I got to clean cat vomit off my couch. My couch. God. I'm so over the cat vomit, you guys.

Fic: The Art Of Digression (Glee RPS, Mark Salling/Chris Colfer, NC17)

Title: The Art Of Digression
Fandom: Glee RPS
Pairing: Mark Salling/Chris Colfer
Rating: NC17
Summary: Chris likes to act like he eats up the drama of Kurt's storyline, but Mark can see when the stress starts to get to him.
A/N: This all started when I accidentally read an article where Chris talked about eating cookies to deal with the stress of his current storyline. How I got from cookies to Mark Salling porn is anybody's guess. With many thanks to cinderlily for the hand-holding and reassurance. AO3 link, if you prefer.

( It doesn’t take long for the stress of Kurt’s storyline to start wearing on Chris. )
