Day 14

Me again! Well Valentine's Day is almost here and I just read the cutest story in the Clubhouse magazine. For all of you who don't know what that is...look it up. You're on a computer anyway, and I'll wait. You back? Okay, good. So it's about a newly engaged couple from the Adventures in Odyssey series, Wooton and Penny. Wooton is a sweet, wacky, friendly mailman born in Alaska with a love for God, licorice, and Powerboy comics (which he happens to write.) Penny is a kind, slightly-naive artist with a passion for God, vegetarian Tuesdays, and knit beanies. Altogether, it's a perfect match and they're truly happy...until they visit Penny's parents a few days before Valentine's Day. Wooton is impressed by Penny's father's romantic gifts for his wife, and he tries in vain to think of something just as sweet for his own soulmate. Meanwhile, Penny wants to show Wooton around town where she grew up...but things aren't exactly the same. The playground she used to visit every day as a girl is broken down and rusty, the ice cream parlor has been turned into a laundrymat, and the pizza place she used to love is now about to go out of business--and for a good reason. After a horrible letdown, Penny and Wooton are sitting around a small table in Mario's Pizzeria, a slice of deadly pepperoni supreme between them. Wooton pulls out pair of tickets for WaterWorld. Penny looks them over, and says that it sounds like fun, and all. Wooton points out the date for the tickets: 2066, exactly 50 years later. Because, Wooton says simply, he knows he'll be just as in love with Penny as he was before.  AWWW!!! Happy Valentine's Day!

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,...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....
