Picoreview: Diet Coke with Splenda

Bleah!


The longer review: I use Splenda in my afternoon coffee (xylitol goes  in the morning batch), so it's not that I can't tolerate the taste.  This stuff though  tastes to me like Diet Coke with lemon, and I really, really hate lemon or lime in my soda.

I can tell I'm getting old because I'm looking at the HFStival lineup and trying to figure out how late I can possibly get there and see bands I really want to see without having to spend all day surrounded by...people. *twitch* (I've figured out that I could probably hold out and not show up until Echo and the Bunnymen at 3:30 and can leave after Coldplay, which makes it about 6 hours, plus the ~70 minute drive each way to Baltimore and back. God, I'm just sad.)  Of course I could just blow the whole thing off, since my two $40 tickets will end up costing me more than $102 once you add in the Ticketbastard fees and convenience charges ("It's really convenient for us to charge you $9 per ticket for no reason other than 'because we can'. ") to go stand in the rain. Eh, the weather report and the 25% surcharge are making the whole proposition much less appealing. *blink* Okay, now I know I'm getting old, jeez; listen to me.
