Disappointing Birthdays not mine, Mom's. She needs to learn to say no to people (namely the couple I dislike who invited themselves to dinner and volunteered mom and her car to go pick up her BFF, the aunt to the woman of the couple) She was barely home and I had to go to dinner with them.

Where did we go? To Harrigan's a bar/restaurant with the subject line sign on the door. It does however have really good food and gives you a lot of it for low cost. At least there was that and I FINALLY got my blood thinners approved so I left dinner early to get them and my insulin.

Finally edited and posted my last Hazbin story to fandomtrees so there's that.

I've been sulking most of the day so there's that too.

I have a holiday special for fannish 50

Betty sent me This delight : Watch ILM Recreate the Death Star Trench Run Out of Virtual Gingerbread

I'm sure I've mentioned Hazbin Hotel is a musical (I KNOW. I don't like them much so I have no explanation for this) Sam Haft (the composer) and Blake Roman (voice actor of Angel Dust and the egg bois) jokingly said if the sound track made the Billboard Top 100 Sam would come up with music and Blake would sing Christmas songs as Frank the egg boi. Well It hit the top 100 and Blake's Losing Streak went to #14. So have two songs

And the first one has Alex Brightman (who sings Beetlejuice on Broadway and voices Sir Pentious (who is first in the song) joining Blake.

Day 23's tea - Creme Brulee Black Tea: black teas, crème brulee flavoring, and marigold petals. It's not bad. I've bought this one previously. It's less caramelized sugar and cream and more amaretto

Loved the blue underwear on Enterprise!

[cornerofmadness]

Isn't it great?

[dr_zook]

Glad you got your blood thinners approved, phew. And I got your card, thank you so much! :D

[cornerofmadness]

Thanks and cool, glad it made it there

[spikedluv]

That does not sound like a great way for your mom to spend her birthday!

I'm sorry you had to deal with them at all. But yay for getting your blood thinners and insulin! (And having an excuse to leave early. *g*)

AND getting your fic posted!

[cornerofmadness]

Yeah and I have to deal with them tomorrow too. Ugh. Stay with your family, why don't you?

Very glad to get my meds because my insurance changes in a week but I won't get my cards til I get back to OH

Oh Holy Night + White Christmas - Andrew Bird

What Child Is This Anyway? - Sufjan Stevens (he wrote SO many Christmas songs, I mean, look at that list..............)

Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy - David Bowie & Bing Crosby* (how could you not have heard this one XD;)

[cornerofmadness]

nice collection (you know, I'd forgotten that Bowie/Crosby thing)

You know, when I was looking around at modern christmas recordings I DID notice there was a lot of Sufjan Stevens

[suzume]

While I was looking through my Bowie collection, I remembered it all of the sudden. "Didn't he do a collab with another singer for Christmas?" And there on Youtube it was...!

Sufjan Stevens clearly had some issues with Christmas??

Regarding artists I tend to feature......Colin Meloy also has a John Denver cover of a Christmas song that I cannot stand. XD; (ftr, it's "Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)")

Oh, I wanted to add that I found both Enterprise parody songs very funny.

[cornerofmadness]

I really like his stuff

[suzume]

He is just great. The Strange New Worlds parody song to Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" is wonderful and the Voyager parody "I Wanted Janeway" is also SO FUNNY. (I love the part where Chakotay wonders why he dated Seven of Nine)
