It does seem to be an axymoron of sorts. If it's nothing, how can you be 'doing' it? I say it is OK to say it. Everyone knows what the phrase means, and so it is useful. If you are uncomfortable about the illogic of it, say 'nothing in particular', or 'nothing special'.

How is doing nothing and being bored two very different things?

Being bored is having nothing to do or not knowing what to do with your time. Doing nothing is actually doing something.

How can nothing be something and something be nothing?

Well if you're doing nothing, then you could say you are doing something by seeing that you are sitting in a chair or standing or breathing or living, if you are doing nothing, it would still be like you're doing something because what I said earlier, but if you die, you're body is doing nothing except lying there being affected by gravity. So it's like you are doing something even if it feels like doing nothing.
