I have two questions.

I have two questions.

Firstly, why are the connectors for expressing contradiction sometimes used as a general connector, but not other connectors? (if other connectors can also be used, which one do i choose?)

Secondly, the example  映画を見たり、本を読んだり、昼寝したりする。 Isn't 昼寝(taking a afternoon nap) a noun, and so conjugating to past tense is 昼寝だった --> 昼寝だったりする?
