    Honestly, I really enjoyed Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's a very quick read and I personally enjoyed how the main character, Ender, dealt with and lead his peers throughout the entire book. I thought it was an interesting take on kid geniuses.

    Ocarina of Time has an amazing soundtrack. I think the fact that most people recognize at least one song from the game really speaks to this. And the soundtrack itself helped with the world building.

    That's a good idea. It's always so awkward going to a bar/club alone.

    This one's pretty fun for long car rides. You count to three and then say a random word at the same time. Then you do it again, but this time saying a word that connects the previous words. And...

    You count to three and then say a random word at the same time. Then you do it again, but this time saying a word that connects the previous words. And you keep doing this until you say the same thing. I've played this game for hours.

    People consistently complain about flights being delayed due to weather. But in reality, it's much better for you to be late to your next location than to have your flight crash because of microbursts which can cause aircraft to lose lift, directional control, etc. Honestly, the airlines want to get you out of there as much as you want to. But no one wants to take the risk of an airliner crashing due to weather.
