Cream centered

Okay, this is disgusting (SFW, but disgusting). Don't get me wrong, I used to love Cadbury Cream Eggs (before they changed the recipe). But the idea of drinking two of them in a can of pop? Ew.

My first one-on-one drumming lesson is tonight. I'm hoping my friend can help me out with some basic technique stuff. The one thing I took away from last month's drum workshop in KC is that I am sorely lacking in actual playing technique and if I want to get good at this, I need to learn some technique before I start trying the fancy stuff.

I'm on something of a contaminant-purge, and so have stopped taking all supplements that contain suspicious ingredients (fructose and tapioca starch in Emergen-C, for example). This means I'm no longer taking ibuprofen, either, since all the brands I've found use corn starch as a base. Guess what time of the month it is now? This is my second cycle sans-analgesics, and folks, it is not getting easier. Ugh and ouch.

Liberty Hall had Singin' in the Rain in stock (although the copy has some damage). It was great to watch it with [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick for his first viewing of it. So charming to experience that with someone who hasn't ever seen it, or many old musicals at all. I'm frequently amazed at how very different were our childhoods. The only thing we shared in common is that we were both human children--and there are times (most times, really) when I question even that.

New due South icon, btw. <3

"Now I can eat Cadbury Cream Eggs all the time and feel no worse than drinking soda!" - win!

Re: our discussion beforehand, that you stayed with a family when your parents weren't home and I babsat my brother starting in my single-digit age: I hadn't ever thought of that as an unusual thing. Heck, I used to change his diaper, and I'm only six years older. The more I examine it, the more my childhood really was sorta freakish, I guess. At least I was raised by humans ;-)

LOVED the movie!

Also, your icon makes me LOL!

At least I was raised by humans

That is debatable.

Your childhood was freakishly abnormal, and mine was freakishly normal. My childhood was a Mr. Rogers Textbook Childhood while yours was something more like A Very Special Episode of After-School Programming.

I should have said, "At least I was a human baby." ;-D

I think my childhood would make a GREAT after-school special.

It certainly would be educational.
