I'm just the opposite. Some reasons I'm Not bored:

Years of home movies I want to put to DVD.

Way too many cassettes I'd like to put to CD (lotsa stuff you can't even find anymore)

Tons of spare computer parts to make 2 - 3 "spare parts" builds.

Boxes of old paper work that I need to clean out.

Gotta clean the major junk pile behind my work shed.

The lawn needs mowed.

Boxes of photos and negitives I'd like to digitize.

Dozens of programs I haven't re-installed yet since my last upgrade.

Boxes of old magazines to go thru....

etc...

10. I've gone from working 60 hours a week to 30 something.

9. I've checked by blog for comments at least 5 times today.

8. I've checked all of my friends' blogs for updates at least 5 times today.

7. All of my friends are either at work or (couples only) getting in some last smooches before school starts, so no one can go to the arcade with me.

6. I've read about 6 books this week and don't feel like reading more.

5. Last night I finally mastered all of the functions on my new phone, and there's no more playing to be done with it.

4. See #6 but change books to movies.

3. There's so little to do I can't think of any more reasons why I'm bored.

Yup well except for this last week in which I spent most of my ride time playing taxi driver until we got the wife a replacement car for the one that got totaled last Friday. I don't drive that much either unless we go out of town. Oh I've not even had time to play my few hours of doom3 this past week

The top ten reasons why I am pissed:

1. I try to withdraw $500 CAD from the teller, it gives me no money, but my bank deducts them as if it had.

2. Somebody fiddled when he should have faddled and I received no paycheck this month.

3. I meet the finest of women in an event for singles and yesterday I discover she's got a boyfriend.

4. I was starting to recover from illness and now it seems I have a respiratory infection.

5. Both my parents are sick.

6. I just had to spent $320 CAD in text books.

7. My computer is running slow as molasses. This Radeon 9600Pro is not performing as I expected. Cost of the disappointment: $200 CAD.

8. It's hella hot outside. And it's gonna be still at least three months till it starts snowing.

9. I am running out of gin and I have no more money to buy more.

10. My whole life sux big time.

Well Nuclear, I feel for you on all accounts except number 8. Here in South Texas we are knocking on 100 degrees with damn near 100% humidity. I may send you a few buck for the Gin though.....lol.
