OMG bored. I'm doing work and it's boring, I'm not doing work and that's boring.
There's been an outbreak of bored today.
I'm suffering from a particularly virulent strain, myself.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, you picked a bad day to steal my life.
There's been an outbreak of bored today.
Crappity.
I think the thing is, we should all be lolling about outside today.
It never hurts to ping your references, Anne, although I don't generally do it until someone tells me they are going to call them (or I really really think they will).

Christ I hate flying to the midwest. All reasonably priced outgoing flights are before 7 am. I don't have to be there by noon, damnit!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Going to see a play on Thursday--"I Am My Own Wife"--and I am so EXCITED! I almost never go to the theater anymore.
I saw it at the Goodman and I must say it is an excellent play.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
There's been an outbreak of bored today.
Oh no, it's a nationwide epidemic.
Of course, mine is interspersed with my computer laughing at me, but really, even that is becoming routine and kind of dull.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I dropped "Hi! How are you!" to two of the references I was kind of chummy with in the first place. I didn't mention job search stuff; I just dropped a line to make sure they remembered that I existed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I took a break in my boredom to go swimsuit shopping. Last year, when I wanted a halter, I went to a million stores. This year, when I want something bra or sports bar style, tentative poking indicates I need a time travel machine.
However, I have a tankini top that will have to do until I find something that doesn't look so precarious boobwise. I wasn't going to play volleyball anyway. Just watch others.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Does everyone know about Summer "Soulstice" at Chipotle today? [NOTE: Site has music. And a dude who dances. Watch the whole thing, and you can make him dance.] Anyway, it means FREE BURRITO, and who doesn't love a free burrito?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm suffering from a particularly virulent strain, myself.
That's what you think. You're actually addicted to bored! It's going to ruin your life! With new technology today, it's so easy for kids to become addicted to bored without their parents even knowing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Consarnit, I just went to Chipotle yesterday.
