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!

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...

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,...

Back Again

                Hi, all! Page Turner here! I hope that everyone is having a great summer! One of the things that I am really excited about this summer is reading. With school and everything else going on, I haven't made time to read a book in a really, really long while. I feel like God gave us books, and that reading the right books can be a blessing in our lives. They can inspire us to be creative, teach us lessons, inspire us to love one another, and move our hearts to both a greater understanding and a greater love for our Savior. I feel like a few hours with a good book are a great use of time--and I plan to be doing just that this summer!       Over the next few months, I really hope to revisit some old books as well as some new ones. I know I can't read all of them, but I also hope to at least take a thoughtful review of some books that I feel God has used to impact my life. That's why I've made a non-definitive list of 15 F...
