Ok, but why afternoon naps?

It's been quite a while since I bothered even logging into blogger -- namely because I've been alternating between work, life, and naps. And reading blogs. And more naps. Lots and lots of naps.

I'm not nearly as cute as the panda when I nap, just FYI.

So I like naps, as if you've probably figured out by now.

1. Naps are much less scary than committing yourself to 8 hours of unconsciousness
   
2. They usually happen in the middle of the day
   
3. ...usually in the middle of days that I'm avoiding something

QED: Naps are the human equivalent of "pulling the plug" (not in the vegetative state sense, but in the "OMG my computer froze I'm going to yank the cord!" sense).
