In homage to my friend Andrew, here are some things that bore me:

1. Hearing about Simpsons episodes

2. The board game “Risk”- This should be up my alley, but isn’t.

3. Any movie by Wes Anderson or Cameron Crowe- There are other directors I could include, but these two are atop the list.

4. Non-American sports

5. U2, and particularly Bono- Come on. Admit it. They just aren’t that good.

6. Charles Dickens- evidently paid by the word

7. People discussing drugs while taking them

8. The Dave Matthews Band- “Hey guys, they have a saxophone player. They must be good!”

9. The gym

10. Portugal- Well, maybe this isn’t fair. I was out of money and at the end of my trip. I’m sure it’s a nice place (people tell me so) but it was a real letdown after Spain and the food wasn’t any good.

11. Auto Racing, and cars in general- “Aww shit Jethro, I just saw a crash!”

12. Complicated video games- I do like original Nintendo

13. Waiting for things to download

14. Turtles- snakes are boring too, but at least there’s an element of danger involved.

15. Facebook applications- No, I don’t want to challenge you to a movie quiz.
