train rides

i almost went with this and then i thought about all the times riding the train is neither boring nor pleasant and didnt but i think the right answer is 'looking out at the countryside from a moving train' or something close, same thing with car windows really, thats a dull but enjoyable thing, time and distance passing

Related, Michael Portillo's Great British Railway Journeys programme on BBC2 at 6.30pm weeknights. Perfect postprandial viewing.

Also: freshly changed bed linen.

watching crappy evening tv cuddled up on a sofa with your partner while the kids are asleep upstairs.

i have often said to friends, in this world of constant chaos, boredom is a welcome luxury.

Cats, 80% of the time. They just sit there, doing nothing and doing it in an intent, near-trance-like manner.

boxing out

no

mookieproof, Thursday, 17 January 2013 08:31 (thirteen years ago)

cats set the bar for what is interesting

boxing out is hard but do you wanna ball or do you wanna go home

sorry; if it's good, it can't be boring.

saltwater incursion (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 17 January 2013 15:42 (thirteen years ago)

Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall,
She walks by the railing of a path in Kensington Gardens,
And she is dying piece-meal
To a sort of emotional anæmia.

And round about there is a rabble
Of the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor.
They shall inherit the earth.

In her is the end of breeding.
Her boredom is exquisite and excessive.
She would like some one to speak to her,
And is almost afraid that I
Will commit that indiscretion.

Chicken soup

The Devils of Loudoun County (j.lu), Thursday, 17 January 2013 16:19 (thirteen years ago)

In the sense of hard to keep attention:

Minimalist sculpture
Post-painterly abstraction
Sahko Records et. al.

In the sense of mundane and generally unsexy:

Long walks
Staying in and listening to music on Friday/Saturday nights
Mediocre actions movies on Sunday afternoon TV
