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, for real this time
No more lines of poetry, more words of prose...
It might be time to get another grey iPod
But they will never replace you....
But, wait! Behold!
As I pick you up, your screen moves
Joy!
I can navigate to the music, dark as your screen is
No back light provides light for me to see
But I don't care little iPod
You're fixed and that's all that matters
Let's go listen to a song, little grey iPod....

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

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....

Who is the Best Avenger?

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. Monday isn't the best of days, so I'd like to let off some steam by revisiting one of my favorite things to do: debate about movies. Oh, yeah. Today's topic? Who is the best Avenger? (Yeah, uh oh. This could conversation could get heated :) The following post is my personal opinion and I'd love to hear yours in the comments!        Okay, so we've got, what, like, 10 Avengers now? Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch...I'm leaving out a few, but you get the gist. I'm going to just focus on the original: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk. Now, pretty much all of these guys are pretty cool. Natasha's like a secret agent/karate fighter, the Hulk can turn green and smash buildings, Iron Man's like a techno Superman, Thor can, well, control lightning, Hawkeye's Avenger's version of Katnis, and Captain America'...
