Today we volunteer at Historic Flight. Yes, again. Things just keep happening don't they! :) Anyways, we're going to help out because Fifi, a B-29 bomber is visiting Historic Flight and they're selling rides. Well really they've sold out of rides already. SO we're going to try and sell people rides on our planes instead. All the rides are on sale for while Fifi is here, so hopefully Historical Flight will sell a few.
Yesterday we had a belated Fathers Day celebration since we were busy on Fathers Day. We all chipped in and went to MeMenamins. The food was really good; their gluten free bread was incredible. I've never seen anything quite like it. Yesterday I also hurt myself a lot. See, first I got a paper cut (luckily it's not too bad) and then I scraped a layer of skin off my hand. Then as I was running up the stairs like I always do I hit my left elbow on the hand rail. Unfortunately I must have hit it pretty hard, because it still hurts today. Mostly only when I flew my muscles (typing right now even makes it hurt a little, sometimes).
Sereina, Tiana, and I were planning on playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 this morning, but we leave to volunteer soon. So we're going to play tomorrow. Have you ever played Roller Coaster Tycoon 2? It's one of my many, many childhood games. See, you build an amusement park. You have to keep the guests happy with good, garbage cans, places to sit and cool rides. People can get sick from turbulent rides so something Tiana and I always did was took this tiny island in the middle of a lake and made "Sick Person Island". Yeah, that games awesome... except when you're always bankrupt... like I always was. Hehe, I never was too good at those games; but I still loved 'em!
Oh hey, so I've got this new blog I'm apart of called Once Upon a Time (it has nothing to do with the show Once Upon a Time). Me, and two, possibly three, other friends have started a movie, game, book review blog. You can check it our here: http://onceuponatimemediareviews.wordpress.com/ Now that Michaela, one of the moderators, has started reviewing Nancy Drew games I'm going to have to make a post. I've played almost every game, and I own all but five of them. They some of the best computer games ever! You can check out the one post I've made, it's about the Misadventures of Maude March books. Yeah, of course I started with those ones! Now I'm going to make a post on a Nancy Drew game! Which one? Oh... Ghost Dogs of Moon Lake! I love that one!

My Little Obsession with Superheros
Yes, I actually mean what I say in the title. I really like superheros, but when it comes down to it my younger brother Daniel likes 'em ten times more. So although he knows many more heros and villains than I do it's still something that connects us fairly well. Especially since we started watching Arrow, a new take on the hero Green Arrow (also known as the Emerald Archer). If you haven't seen this show, go watch it now. It's amazing!
So if you haven't seen Arrow and you intend on watching it then don't read this next paragraph. Okay, so from reading ahead on the descriptions Daniel discovered that Black Canary (one of my favorites) is going to be in Arrow. First off, in the comic Black Canary is from what Daniel and I call Earth Two (it's kind of like if there was another planet that could sustain life that was exactly like our Earth, even down to the people on it). Another this is she possessed a magical power of The Canary Cry. So far in Arrow there has been nothing to do with magic or any real super powers. In any case, here's something that really stunned us last night. This character, Laurel Lance, had a sister that died five years before. A different character was looking at a pictures of Laurel's sister Sarah with a pet canary (coincidence? I think not). Then Daniel looked up the real name of the second (maybe third) Black Canary. Her name was Dinah Laurel Lance. Let that sink in... Ahhh! Crazy! And now Sarah is rumored to be alive! Eeekk, this show is awesome!
Okay, so away from the spoilers now. Um... I don't like Huntress in Arrow. They didn't get her very comic accurate. Daniel and I both this she's a lot more like a villain called Talia al Ghul, both looks and characteristics wise. The Huntress was raised by criminals in the comics (at least one of them was) and Huntress is very... loud. Aggressive with the battle crys to go with it. If she's angry, you'd you it. But Huntress in arrow is a lot more low key. She shows, to me at least, practically no emotion even though (slight spoilers here) her fiance was killed by her father. Talia al Ghul is more of a silent anger person, and so if they could just swap the two (even though Talia isn't in Arrow) that'd be great.
Honestly though, now DC has got Arrow, in the fall they're getting The Flash (Daniel's favorite hero) and eventually Gotham. Gotham will be about young Commissioner Gordon, before he even has his mustache or glasses! Personally I'm not sure how good it'll be because I don't really care about Commissioner Gordon (sorry dude, but you're no Batman). But what I think is, they should make a Birds of Prey show. Seriously, that'd be so awesome. Especially if they gave all the characters awesome back story. I'd love for them to further Oracle's story (she used to be the first Batgirl, before she was paralyzed).
Oh, looks like I gotta scatter. I do, after all, have a life to live. For instance, I need to go do some school, and finish cleaning my room. I'm halfway through a deep clean, so in a way my room is a bigger mess than it was before. Sigh.
