I start thinking of paradoxes until my mind passes out. Then I just sit down and watch youtube. That or I am eating some chips for about an hour and watch T.V.... I don't do much.

Play PES.
Stay bored for ages because I don't want to play PES.
Make 40k lists.
Imagine i'm going to paint some minis, get them out then put them away as i'm to bored to bother painting.
Read about how the World might end.
Read Horror film synopsis.
Sleep (Thats the best one....)
Go for an aimless walk (thats pretty fun, don't do it very often though)

Its weird really, I either don't get bored and just do stuff all day even if that includes doing boring stuff, or spending hours on the internet. But if I do actually find myself being bored, I just can't be bothered to do anything, like sometimes i'll start playing PES (Pro Evolution Soccer, just realised some/many won't know what PES is) on the PS3 and give up part way into my first match as i'm to bored to concentrate... So then I can't really do anything productive until the next day after sleep, unless I really force my self to. (And by productive, I mean anything, even watching films counts as productive... Although it can count as work since I am doing a Film, Radio & TV degree....)

Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.
Garrus Vakarian: Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out.

I don't often get bored.

I do stuff so that I don't get bored.
If I tire of doing one thing (video games - who can play them for more than a couple of hours at a time - for example ?) I switch to something else, so I DON'T get bored of it.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

At work... in between alarms and tickets... I cycle between Dakkadakka, Battle College, and my personal email.

At home... If I'm not reading, playing, painting, or watching something... I cycle between Dakkadakka, Facebook, Games Workshop's site, and the Steam Store.

This kinda makes me ponder, if boredom is the root to all the wars we've had?

"Nothing on tv, huh? Well, let's start a war then!"

Now that would bore me to tears.

Supernatural?

Why not Charmed, while you're at it?

Charmed is nothing like Supernatual, and its boring (although I have only seen one or two, so probably not fair to call them all boring based on a couple of eps)

Supernatural isn't, its brilliant.

Having watched charmed I agree. I enjoyed it as a child, when i was innocent to such things as taste and talent.

I've nevered watched supernatural and never intend to.

I'll back Supernatural. Does it have unnecessary drama and brooding? Yeah. Does it have some brilliant writing and great characters, also yep. The first keeps the teenie girls tuning in, so the show stays on the air and keeps providing the second. Otherwise we'd have Firefly. Plus a show that so thoroughly takes the piss out of itself is rare.

I think this counts as a way of beating boredom.
