Boredom is the chief propagator of further boredom, have you noticed? A small and appearingly harmless bout of boredom can easily lead to further boredom, and so on. How are you supposed to combat that cycle? A, B, or C? I don't know myself, I'm afraid, so pass on any recommendations. To alleviate ten minutes of boredom, however, you may wish to watch
this video of Derren Brown from his
Trick of the Mind series back in 2004. I hear he's doing a string of shows in London very soon and there's another television series being planned for September. For enthusiasts, here's a
nice interview with him in today's
Times, and
the uncut interview between him and Richard Dawkins.
