I really hate being sick
Inspired by this post about hot dogs, I would like to make a list of things that, while not ideal, are better than having a running nose and a wheezing cough.
- A book that is missing most of chapter 5
- Lutefisk
- Running into your ex-girlfriend while you are on a first date
- Working on Saturday
- Reading McSweeney’s on more than an occasional basis
- Driving two hours to find out it was an early show
- Accidentally biting into a whole peppercorn
- Discovering the party is hosted by a canned beer fanatic
- Blade: Trinity
- Hot dogs that are slightly overburnt
- June bugs
- Jello salad
- Cats
- Internet Explorer 7
- Mac vs. PC ads
- Swisher Sweets
- Skipping breakfast
- Skipping lunch
- Skip To My Lou
- Marching bands
- Standing in line for the bathroom
- Caucusing
- Lists of things
- Board games
- Icebreaker activities
- Weak coffee
- Ryan Air
- Hair metal
- Hair nets
- A “coming of age” tale
- Doing the dishes
- Pretty much everything
I guess that last item makes it a comprehensive list, but feel free to add your own, anyway.
