    What do you do when you're bored?

    I pull wings of of dead flies, and attempt amateur lobotomy reversal...


    How about you?

    I read the statistics on the forum: number of views, number of posts... I sometimes look at what other users are viewing, and then go look at the statistics on those threads. Sometimes, I even read the "FAQ" and pages like that...

    I am so seldom bored that It' almost a relief when it occurs. Then I sit back and enjoy it.

    In the daytime:

    Go out into the garden and work there.

    Go to my workshop and make something.

    In the evening:

    Make a lovely gin based concoction, savor it, and repeat (Note: this doesn't make me less bored, but somehow I don't mind it any more)*

    Cheers

    Knit, stitch, read - repeat as necessary!

    I have so many projects on the go, it's not that I'm ever bored in general - just tired of that one project for a while.

    Hmmm.... Well, depending on how much time I have, I may surf the Web a bit, pick the banjo for awhile, mess around in the workshop for an hour or so, or go fly fishing for a few hours.

    Now that's what I call a plan for combating boredom!

    I am very rarely bored.

    But, when I am, I do the following:

    1) Make a cup of tea.
    2) Read a book.
    3) Do a mental Socratic dialogue with the ideas in the book.
    4) Repeat as necessary.

    Play Guitar Hero, solve sudoku, go out to a local bar. Unfortunately I haven't been playing the real guitar since I started playing Guitar Hero. Ironic.
