Wasting my Valuable Gaming Time

I don't know why, but I am completely sucked in to Mafia Wars on Facebook.  There is nothing very appealing about it, other than watching my make-believe dollars up, but I sit here, watching the tickers wind down until my energy and stamina are refilled so that I can exhaust them again to make more make-believe money.  The minutes just drag on, and then I click a button to see what happens.  It's all a web-based Skinner Box.  So I sit there, watching, when I could be doing more important things like finally starting Bioshock and unlocking achievements.
