I lay down on the floor and get comfortable. Nothing much is required from me,
\ I don't need to imitate pleasure, it's gonna come on its own, I'll just be
\ here for some time, that's my job, that's all there is to it. Usually I just
\ drift off to my own fantasy land, but today I was doing something, and it
\ wants my attention. I was typing the first characters of a... text? I don't
\ want to call it a book or a novel or... I'm not sure what form it's gonna take
\ yet, but it will require text, so. Anyway, it was cooking for some time in me,
\ and something's coming, and I want to capture it and see where it's gonna go.
I want to call it "Boredom", and the basic gist is... maybe "Boredom Simulator",
\ if it's gonna turn interactive somehow down the line? It wants me to try and
\ experiment with something art does quite rarely, at least art that I know of,
\ and that's -- how to put it? -- avoiding unlikely events, maybe, and doing
\ away with anything interesting, on purpose. It's set itself in my head like
\ this: you are a deep space miner on an asteroid, and you have jack shit to do,
\ besides maybe taking care of the mining machines once in a blue moon. Get it?
\ Moon? Anyway. The challenge is to still make it somehow appealing to at least
\ a niche audience. I have to like it myself at least, and if there is indeed
\ nothing going on, well, I don't see how I can achieve that.
Maybe something does happen after all? Or I could focus on the person's thoughts
\ instead of events? But that would not be conducive to the experiment, because
\ I'm sure that was done many many times already. Constant busywork would also
\ defeat the purpose, however boring it may be. No, the idea is there is nothing
\ to do, and yet you don't stop reading. Maybe you continue reading because you
\ expect something to happen, because something surely must happen, because why
\ would anyone create art where nothing happens? Then if nothing happens, that
\ would count as a subversion of a reader's expectation, which makes the piece
\ postmodern, but leaves the reader very disappointed.
Maybe nothing happens for a long time, then something does happen and it's
\ a plot twist and then something happens again and again and we're now in
\ an interesting part of the text? That would work, but it feels cheap. I'll
\ leave it as plan B, if I'm unable to do it properly.

Oh sorry, I was thinking. Some ideas float around, but nothing jumps at me as an
\ obvious way forward. I need a break, let's think about something else. I mean
\ here I am, participating in adult entertainment, maybe I should take a look at
\ myself through the eyes of my imaginary listeners? Where to start? I know, my
\ favourite topic is the long list of my complaints. Not towards anybody in
\ particular, just in general. How it sucks to be me, you know.
