I turned on the television one day a week ago, when I was trying to find an utterly monotonous channel that contained extremely dull programming.
But then I found myself becoming...almost...interested.
One might almost say that I was amused.
As soon as I recognized the feeling, I shut off the television and hurried into my room to stare at my white wall.
I soon returned to a state of reasonable ennui, but the sting of this experience remains with me. I can't help but think about it. What should I do?

Oh my goodness, that is horrible. I suggest you go see a doctor, that cannot be normal. They might give you some medicine for it.

This is why I try never to turn on my television. I find that staring simply at its blank, black screen, or finding a channel of entirely static, restores my mind to the state of blandness I so strive to reach.

Do not fret, Terra, for fretting requires far too much precious energy that could be wasted doing nothing.
If it comforts you I will have you know that everyone occasionally will find something that sparks their interest. The reason for this unfortunate occurence is the world is unfortunately simply too diverse for a boring writer to properly flourish within.
I recommend wasting a few extra hours in the next few days watching paint dry or grass grow. I would not dare aimlessly wander outside of your house for I hear Boredomland has been poisoned with something unusual; a house with a red roof.

Thank you for the responses. I will certainly talk to my doctor next time I see him. Zylaa, I keep the television off most times, but occasionally, I find that watching something sufficiently dull does a better job of boring me than the blank screen. It's strange, I know. But I don't question it. Because questioning things indicates a level of curiosity that is incompatible with utter boredom.
TDW, I will keep that in mind. That is very comforting. I will not worry, as long as this remains a sufficiently infrequent occurrence. I certainly enjoy watching paint dry and grass grow, so I will consider doing those things. And yes, I heard about the house with a red roof. I posted on this very forum about it. It's absolutely scandalous.
