Bedtime Procrastination (a new Tale of Mere Existence)

I don't watch these little animated gems as often as I used to, but I just saw this recent episode of Tales of Mere Existence. This is very exaggerated and I am not nearly that bad, partially because even I understand that I need to get as much sleep as I can, but I have to admit: I do spend far too much time on YouTube, especially before bedtime. Even tonight, looking for some music to upload here. Instead, I watched this video. So here it is. You know you have been there before. Tell me I am not alone.

Insomnia (Tales of Mere Existence)

Here is another Tale of Mere Existence by Lev Yilmaz. I blogged about them recently, thought I would wait a bit until I re-upload a video of one on my blog, then recently I have been struggling to sleep and this illustrates perfectly the suffering and state of mind of an insomniac. So I thought about sharing it with my readership.

Working Life (Tales of Mere Existence)

I have discovered a few months ago the Tales of Mere Existence by Levni Yilmaz. They are short (in)animated films, basically static cartoons, which talk of, well, life and existence. They are really fun to watch, if you love caustic humour. I was thinking about uploading one here, but was not sure which one, then chose "Various Jobs I could Get". Because it looks like my own working life, past and present. I applied to many similar jobs, I even had a few very similar to those he describes. I also got offered a job as a video-game tester, which I turned down because there were better opportunities around the corner, including the job I have now. And the state of mind of the narrator is often akin to mine, and I suspect many, many, many workers. So here it is.
