Idle Hands Do the Devil's Work
What do y'all do to cure boredom? Read this blog? It's Saturday night at 11:17 pm and I'm bored. Gentleman Caller is out at the All-Man-Poker-Game, and I thought I had plenty to do keep myself out of trouble, but I'm bored right now. I've already played 19 games of Spider Solitaire, copied 11 CDs, drunk a bottle of wine, surfed the Internet, watched a UFC fight, cleaned under my toenails, terrorized Fat Larry, watched an episode of The Wire, plucked my eyebrows, tracked down that weird noise, typed in some recipes to my cookbook project, found a new hairstyle, gone to the bathroom, read a magazine, peered out the window at the drunk kids walking down the street and written a blog entry. What else is there to do? There's nothing to clean and nothing to put away. It's too late to cook anything, and I'm still stuffed from dinner (more on that tomorrow). I don't need anything from Wal-Mart, or any other store open 24 hours. I'm not even sleepy. I guess I'll go cut my cholesterol.

I'm such a boring person naturally that I don't know what to do to cure boredom properly. A movie, a tv show, a book, or going to wikipedia to look up something. Anything, really -- the main page normally has some topic I'd like to know more about, so I click on that and usually, though links in the article, spend quite a bit of time learning all kinds of stuff people typically don't need to know.
Look out, Jeopardy, I'm coming!
My cholesterol still has scars on it from where I tried to cut it. It wasn't pleased, and in fact became ANGRY cholesterol (worse than "bad"). Now it's heavily sedated with medication, and has turned into a very, very pleasant companion. Bipolar cholesterol has been tamed.

When the van is leaving D-lot for a road trip to Jeopardy tryouts, let me know. I'll go just for the hazmats and the nervous game.
