I am phenomenally bored today. Which is very, very, very rare for me.

I often am frustrated having to do a task when I have 6 or 7 other tasks that I’d rather do and/or am interested in doing, which isn’t boredom.

Boredom is not really wanting to do much of anything, or not being able to think of anything good to do.

That’s me right now.

I think it’s a hangover of having lots of interesting and exciting things happen recently. I just got done with a phase of this contracting work, and I’m waiting for prototypes to come in. We had a splendid birthday party for Ro on Saturday, with lots of family and friends and lively action (including , , , and ). I spent a lot of time with my 13 year old nephew, where he spent about 50% of that time explaining what it was he just said.

J: You should get that truck and put 20’s on it.
R: Whaties?
J: 20’s.
R: What’s a 20?
J: Rims!
R: Like tire rims?
J: Yes! Duh! What the fizzle, bizzle?
R: Whattle?

and so on, for hours. For the record, Lucky Yates completely understood everything he said, when he talked with him backstage at Dad’s. (I took Jovanni to Dad’s for Scandal! Friday night, and Theatersports Saturday night, because he does dearly love a little bit of Dad’s Garage now and again).

My nephew also eats like no one I’ve ever met. Every hour and a half, that kid’s gotta be eating, and eating big. And he’s 5’4″, 95 pounds. Amazing.

They had to stay an extra night on Monday eve, thanks to snow in Newark. They spent the day in the airport, and apparently Jo ate through half the restaurants there.

And really, what could be interesting in the wake of all that?
