Page Turner Daily News

Hi! Page Turner here. I know it's been a while since my last post, so here's an overview of what's happened since then!

Art and Entertainment: Okay, so the new movie Pan came out. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks so good. Also, Pixar has announced the release dates for their new movies, including The Good Dinosaur, Zootopia,  Toy Story 4, and Incredibles 2. Sadly, Incredibles 2 doesn't come out until 2019! I guess I'll just have to watch the first one four thousand more times...! Also, I went to go see Tim Hawkins. If you don't know who he is, go find out. Really. He's a great--and the funniest--comedian I've ever seen. Also, he's a Christian and family-friendly. I saw him live and he was fantastic!!!! He hugged my mom as he came down the aisle playing his harmonica. It was amazing! Also, if you want a really good TV show, I could suggest a billion, from Christy, to Lab Rats, to Pride and Prejudice (the five hour version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) But my most recent favorite series is Warehouse 13. It's a sci-fi/ fantasy/ adventure/ comedy/ drama (They like to cover all the grounds). It's about a group of people on a branch of the Secret Service that finds 'artifacts' that can do strange things. A shard from Cinderella's slipper can turn a person to glass, Magelons's Astrolabe can turn back time, Harriet Tubman's thimble can make you look like someone else, and so on. It's all stored in the Warehouse. Although rated TV-14 for violence and a few words, this show always has a good message, strong characters, and 'endless wonderment'. (Heh, heh, that's the tagline.)

Food and Drink: Publix has the best cakes, if anyone was wondering--especially their raspberry cream cheese cake. Egg nogg is out quite early this year and gryo potato chips--while good in theory--aren't good in real life. Just trust me on this one.

Sports: I don't know anything about sports. If you want news, go look it up. :)

Fox Daily News: Fox, my extremely cute golden retriever has been great. She's gotten over the whole must-eat-everything instinct and is now just focusing on rocks and socks and shoes. (-And earrings. It's a long story, but she's fine. Not so with the earring...) She's a little obsessive with the socks. Okay, a lot. She'll grab 3 socks in her mouth and dive onto the couch. We pull out two and scold her; when we turn around a few minutes later, she's chowing down on another one! She's so cute, though. So cute!

   Anyway, thanks for catching up. God is so good! He is with us and loves us everyday--He's always with me even days that aren't recorded on this blog. :)

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,...

Day 21

  Hey, Page Turner here! Back for day 20 in my countdown to Valentine's Day. There is a lot of romance movies out there. One of my personal favorites is Princess Bride. ( spoiler alerts ahead)  I mean, come on. " My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It doesn't get much better than that, does it?! Princess Bride is a humorous romance complete with a kidnapped princess, shrieking eels, giants, sword fights, Miracle Max, betrayal, and a dashing hero. The best part is the entire story is read by a grandpa to his sick grandchild, a young kid with a cynical sense of humor and boyish distaste for romance. The movie follows the love story of Buttercup and Wesley, two peasants who are madly in love. Their story is cut short when Wesley dies at the hand of the Dread Pirate Robertson, and Buttercup is given to the prince to marry. As the days count down to her wedding day, Buttercup is kidnapped by a Spaniard swordsman, a kind-hearted giant, and a se...
