Like the dog, I am.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrred! Booooooooooooooooooooooorred!
(This is the sound the dog makes when he is in the backyard and nobody is around to play with him. It's a sort of bark/howl mixture, but it ends up sounding like he's saying "bored".)

Yesterday, when there was nothing to do at the office, I built some Mafia games. Today, there is nothing to do again, and I have no need for any more Mafia games, as it will be seven thousand years before I can run the ones I built yesterday, so no sense in stacking them up.

Also yesterday, I wrote for some of the writing communities I'm in, but I'm out of those now, too. I guess I could see if I can get something going over in [livejournal.com profile] writers_lab. That might be productive.

But really, I need a challenge. Post me one, would you? (Note: I can't do the phone post thing from work, as I don't have an office, and people who walk through my hallway sort of wonder when I do things like that.)

What sort of challenge?

Oh, I don't know. Reading, writing, research, ask me a question, I'll tell you a story. Anything I can do at the office to kill a bit of time, really. It's a long stretch until 5 o'clock.

ok....
Give me a rundown on the history of gingerbread, how it is related to holiday feasts, and why it is funny that the Old Woman in the forest lives in a Gingerbread house.

If you find cool recipes while you are at it, Post those too.

I'm about to head out for a lunch that Somehow Involves Vegetables. Shall I bring something diverting over to your office for you?

Ummm.... sure! I love diversions!
(fear!)

Hrm.

You could learn some new skills on Webmonkey, browse the posts on Lifehacker, or add crap to the ritualist training materials on the gaia ritualist pbwiki.

Alrighty then. Added God Auction notes and Wheel of Traditions to the ritualists wiki.

Woot!

Also, if you're *still* bored, you could start writing up the Tome of Winter Bazaar Knowledge.

Inspired by the posts of the day, I challenge you to make a new meme titled "What frustrating but not life-threatening injury are you?"

I'm working on it, but didn't have time to finish it. I will finish it this weekend and post a link. :)

Ha Ha Ha

When I saw that, I was thinking of a slightly obnoxious hobbit we all know and love saying "I'm boooooored." And then getting into trouble. Ah, good times.
