I consider myself fairly computer competent considering the amount of time I spend in front of a computer. I’m no hacker and go into spiels about hard drives and whatnot, but I’m a little above average. And by average, I mean people who have no clue about basic computer knowledge such as how to install [...]

Warning: this is a result of insomnia, sugar, and caffeine. Use with caution and results may vary!
Lock him/her inside an elevator.
Why? Well, it seems kinda fun. That and this should give he/she the hint.
Gently reject his or her affections by stating that you’re too busy saving the world.
Not only will this leave them in a [...]

Rice. The typical staple food of all Asian households and used/eaten for most meals. Even if it is not in it’s grain form, it’s in some other type of way. Rice noodles, cakes, crackers, and whatnot. I’m sure most Asian people have eaten rice congee (porridge) at one point in their lives. It’s our Asian [...]

And it’s another left turn
Want to know a great way to cure insomnia other than popping sleeping pills? Watch Nascar. Eventually watching cars go in a giant oval and making left turns will bore you and nothing will be better than sleeping at that point.
I really don’t understand the appeal of Nascar. It’s just a bunch of cars going [...]

Reader’s block?
For someone who is a complete bookworm, this is probably the worst thing that can happen. Especially when said person still has nothing better to do with her summer vacation other than chores and watching crap television.
It’s pretty much like writer’s block only with trying to read books instead, even if it is a book [...]

Overused question and topic, but I was inspired after watching the first X-Men movie and my favorite TV series Heroes. But, what would your superpower be? However, there is a catch. The power has to fit your personality somehow just to make things more interesting and to prevent any future (and annoying) all-powerful Mary Sues/Gary [...]

First off, let’s start off as to what is net neutrality before I go into a rant about how stupid people are.
Net neutrality is basically letting people access whatever site they want without limits like making them pay a certain fee just for access. The only thing that will limit the person is the speed [...]

Evil marketing scheme of Disney
I love Disney. I grew up with Disney films and TV shows. Now the TV shows kind of suck at the moment, but I’m somewhat comforted by the fact that most TV shows for children kind of suck as well.
However, along with my gripe with Disney milking all of their films/franchises for all its worth [...]

Math is the bane of my existence
I have never been the best math student. The most advanced thing I can really do well in is basic algebra. Anything above that is beyond my comprehension.
During high school, most of the time I was able to understand how to get to point A to point B using whatever steps that were needed. However, [...]
