MORE SENSELESS ACTS OF BLOGGERY

Wrapping up Boredom Week, we’ve seen that boredom comes in many forms. But in the end, according to Pet Shop Boys, life is really only as boring as you want it to be.



Which isn’t completely true, of course. People get locked into routines for all kinds of reasons they can’t control, and we can’t all be sexy arty Bohemians in SoHo, or naked young men bouncing on trampolines. (And some of us would find THAT boring too.) Still, that doesn’t mean you have to settle for less all the time.

Okay. That’s it. And yr already bored of this series. Which makes it a qualified success.

A life less ordinary,

Bored out of yr skull? Being rich, famous and gorgeous won’t help.

Just ask Earth Kitt.

It’s Boredom Week, cousin.



The rich folks suffer like the rest of us,

Continuing with Boredom Week, here’s Destroy All Monsters, featuring Niagra Detroit, for whom boredom is an all-day thing.

There’s been a lot of talk about this next series. Maybe too much talk.

This series is not an anti-Valentines Day series.

But it occurred to me that this week was going to be bookended by two major multi-million dollar events that I have zero interest in: The Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day. And then I found that Sluggo panel and got to thinking.

So I thought I’d do a music series on boredom, and how (if possible) to avoid it. And while these songs aren’t necessarily the love-song antidotes you arguably need to counter the Valentine onslaught (for that, I recommend bedsitter23 ’s fabulous Plastique Valentine series, currently in progress), maybe they’ll help a little.

Besides, the annual Anti-Valentine Fr0gcast is in post-production as we speak. So, you know, that’s something to look forward to.

To kick of Boredom Week, we start with a mission statement from the Chairman of the Bored: Mr Iggy Pop.



I’m a lengthy monologue,
