Arts and Entertainment

Bonjour! And so I begin my second Arts and Entertainment post of the month. And mostly likely not the last! Here we go...
    Okay, so the whole French greeting was a nod toward Nick Pitera's amazing rendition of "Belle" from Beauty and The Beast. He does all of the voices perfectly! Here's the link if you want to watch it--it's amazing and super funny. http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2013/11/19/nick-pitera-is-awesome-once-again/ 

Watch out for a few more movie reviews! Up next on my movie-list is Tomorrowland and Lord of the Rings--Fellowship of the Ring. Oh yeah, whoa. Great movies up ahead. (So there's a dispute about Tomorrowland: so what? I'm not listening to negative comments until I watch it for myself.) It's going to be great. And I'm waited on bated breath for Pan. It looks amazing--and beautiful.

Fun Facts you might not know about Pixar:
1. Animators are encouraged to decorate cubicles: the result is unbelievably awesome!
2. On Pixar campus is a pool, a movie theater, and a basketball court.
3. Everybody rides scooters around campus.
4. Here's a ton of random facts about their movies! http://blogs.disney.com/oh-my-disney/2015/05/30/12-things-you-didnt-know-about-disney-pixar-films/

Anyway, there's my short but sweet Arts and Entertainment post of the month. But I have forgotten the books! I'll end it with a poem found in Jesus, The One and Only,  written by Beth Moore:
                                                    
                                                O perfect Lamb of Passover
                                                        Let me not quickly run.
                                                    Recount to me the blessed plot
                                                      Tell how the plan was spun
                                                    That I, a slave of Egypt's lusts
                                                        A prisoner of dark dread
                                                  Could be condemned unto a cross
                                                     And find You nailed instead
                                           
                                                                      Au revoir,
                                                                            ---page turner

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u...

An Ode to My iPod: Part 2

iPod, you were in your plastic baggy I stared at you as I cleaned the kitchen How broken you were! The rice could not fix you, it seemed A friend suggested I get a new one Replace you, dear iPod? I had no other choice! You've been with me through a lot, dear iPod Through my first couple basketball games Through that terrible thunderstorm I listened to you during my sad times I played you when I was happy Your music reminded me of good memories Why, wonderful iPod, why did I let you get wet? It was such an innocent thunderstorm I held you as I listened to your song But was it for the last time? I listened to you as we drove long miles Your ability to store music astounds me So many memories are in those songs! My little iPod, you played as we grouted the porch You were beside me in the late nights when I couldn't sleep You lie on my pillow, supplying me with audio as I draw Dear little iPod, your music kept me running I guess I shall have to say good-bye,...

Calling All Lego Lovers!

     Hi, Page Turner here. It's been a while. I suppose I just haven't had a lot to write about. :) There is, however, something important to write about today.      If you're a fan of Lego, science fiction, or just enjoy an awesome plane model, I have some really cool news. Take a look: This elegant Lego design is called the The U.S.S. Martin . It is a Lego set featuring two large engines in the rear (see figure 2) made from blue Lego parts.      Within this carrier lies hidden guns for defense when the crew is confronted from surly space pirates or other threats.      In the front (see figure 1) lies bulbous cockpit that, in emergency situations, transforms into an eject-able escape pod. The rear of the cargo carrier unfolds to form a ramp, where the happy crew is loading for flight.        The U.S.S. Martin  is covered with sleek maroon and grey paneling and dotted with vents for heat distr...
