FYI {Dal} "be boring" in canon:
Dalbej
It's undoubtedly boring. TKD
SuDal
All of you are boring. CK
Dal pagh jagh
No enemy is boring. TKW

Although there's no official way, I have seen the following used on this
list for "I'm bored":
jIHvaD Dal
("It is boring to me" [i.e. with an unspecific subject])
Dal ghu'wIj
("The situation is boring.")
which suggests:
Dal yInwIj
My life is boring.
or, for a Klingon:
Dal roj.
Peace is boring.
OTOH, if you want to say that something specific bores you, we're on firmer
ground as we can add the causative suffix {-moH} to the quality {Dal}:
muDalmoH 'evnagh nger.
Subspace theory bores me.
muDalmoH roj.
Peace bores me.
