I am bored.
Anything interesting going on for anyone around here?

I hope for great tales of wonder and adventure.

I am in the library procrastinating, so nothing too interesting here.

However, I did just see a small child who was learning how to ride his bike (his dad was excited and cheering) ride straight into a bin. Quite hilarious really.

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.
 
We always have PF chat...
 
You can watch news bloopers.

PF chat? Dondé?
 
Perhaps there is a tale of wonder and adventure in the library?
 
I could never be bored in a library.

That makes it a bit trickier. If it was me, I'd start looking in History or Biographies. Failing that I'd just look around. There must be at least one interesting book. Or failing that there is a "most interesting" book.

I couldn't do that in a big room full of books. I'd have to explore the books.
