Bedtime

So you think you should probably go to bed.

You've finally decided that you should turn your computer off... or lock it, or hibernate it, or sleep it, or really whatever power state floats your boat.

At this particular goal, you have already failed once or twice for the night, instead opting to check your email, or your Facebook feed, or maybe you got held up posting a very important lolcat pic on Twitter,... the stream of procrastination-perpetuating activities is truly much too long to list here.

Finally, after a long and painful struggle to stay on top of your social game, your exhaustion finally wins and you crawl to bed, after, of course, as mentioned before, you set your computer to the appropriate power state.

Now, let me make this clear. The things listed above have never been a problem for me:

  • I don't use Twitter;
  • I don't have a Facebook account;
  • when "normal" people talk about games, they mean manipulative, disgraceful, or to use shorter words, simply sad products such as Farmville;
  • I don't need to check my email, it checks itself.

No, I don't have any of these problems.

But I have a goddamn smartphone.
