bored!While we are waiting for something that resembles actual news, here are a few diversions.....
Start by learning the history of boredom!
state experienced when an individual is left without anything in
particular to do, and not interested in their surroundings. The first
recorded use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852,[1] in which it appears six times, although the expression to be a bore had been used in the sense of "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768.[2] The French term for boredom, ennui, is sometimes used in English as well.

In a Constantly Plugged-In World, It’s Not All Bad to Be Bored
By ALINA TUGEND Published: November 30, 2012
I SPENT five unexpected hours in an airport this Thanksgiving holiday
when our plane had mechanical difficulties and we had to wait for
another plane to arrive. So I had plenty of time to think about the
subject of boredom.
I won’t lie to you. Half a day in an airport waiting for a flight is
pretty tedious, even with the distractions of books, magazines and
iPhones (not to mention duty-free shopping).
But increasingly, some academics and child development experts are coming out in praise of boredom.
It’s all right for us — and our children — to be bored on occasion, they
say. It forces the brain to go on interesting tangents, perhaps
fostering creativity. And because most of us are almost consistently
plugged into one screen or another these days, we don’t experience the
benefits of boredom.
So should we embrace boredom?
