Rereading Lord of the Rings 10 years later, only to realize that the Ring is my smartphone.

While y'all Gollums were twitching & dribbling over your Precious, my friends in RL were less than impressed by my finding.

The "likes" whisper and beckon.

My partner: *slapping my hand from the phone all night*

Me: *flashes of anger convulsing across my face* what business is it of yours? It is mine, I tell you. My own. My Precious!

When I was in college, I had a real nightmare about the day everyone gets a device. At that moment, an evil alien face will appear on all our screens laughing mercilessly in our face at the success of it's conspiracy-- to rule us all through our now undetachable tablets. #uncanny

Here's a sobering fact y'all: this tweet got 1000+ likes, but the same FB post only has 4.

Let's see. RL friends were harvesting grapes, hiking, throwing BDay parties, drinking on terraces, going to classical concerts, Latin night clubbing.

Me? *plug charger next to toilet*
