I've been either bored or just plain bummed out all day long and I'm not even sure why. To give an example of just how bored I am, this afternoon I sat on the couch mindlessly flipping through dozens of channels and ended up watching a three hour televised interview with Susan Sontag, who I'm not even that crazy about as a writer. All I wanted to do today was vegetate and eat junk food, preferably chocolate. In fact, I'm so bored/bummed out that I can't think of a way to end this paragraph in any coherent manner.

Why wasn't this reported by the US media?
