a random collection of items with a propensity to suck

• Vampires (natch!)
• Me using the word natch
• Knowing I'll undoubtedly be at the movie theater this weekend to see Paul Blart: Mall Cop instead of something smart and redeeming, such as Slumdog Millionaire.
• Anything released by Madonna since the Immaculate Collection
• Nuclear war
• Mispronouncing noo-klee-er
• My minivan window not going back up (55 mps x -7 = frickin' freezing)
• anything including the words "...and starring Dane Cook"
• The constant and apparently never-ending pain in my back that's now brought in my right knee as an ally in fear and intimidation
• The potential (inevitable?) rise of robots
• Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

(Wait! That's really just ironic, isn't it? I mean, can it be considered sucky, too?)

• Finding a spot in the insane parent pick-up lines when my son's school dismisses early due to weather (please, God, don't make this happen today...)
• Splattering half a pot of pasta sauce down the front of my shirt while making dinner
• Taking my shirt off to finish cooking dinner, part of which includes draining boiled water
• The hot water burn on my stomach (which is absolutely in cahoots with my other pains)
• This post
• Your additions to it in comments (because that's the point, yo!)
