Moo, bark, meow... roar.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. I'm sorta happy, though. There's nothing to do around the house.

I turned in my application to the Sanrio store yesterday. Finally. I've only ever seen Asian girls working there. I hope it's not required that you speak an Asian language. Oh, well. Maybe it's just that Asian girls are the only ones interested in Hello Kitty. Of course, I am too. So I dunno.

Thursday we went to Marine World, now called Discovery Kingdom. It was pretty awesome; I always love going there. We saw some cool tiger training. One of the tigers refused to cooperate because there was another tiger in the pen behind the main exhibit that he didn't like too much. Too busy defending his territory. But the other one was very interested. Interested in a dog. He got in his pounce position and lunged at the cage when he saw it. But tigers really like the water and this one would dive for little pieces of meat. This was a very cool event and we got some great pictures of it. I'll put them up.

We saw a couple of cool shows with dolphins and their main attraction: Shouka the killer whale. Ok, I had a lot of trouble typing that sentence. Anyway, I can't even imagine how you would go about training these animals. The dolphins were in their teens, but the whale was young. It's just amazing.

Also neat were the walruses. They like to swim upside down.

At the butterfly exhibit, one landed on my shoulder and stayed there a few minutes. Man, some of those butterflies are huge! Seriously huge. I really liked the black and white ones.

Of course the lions, giraffes, elephants (very cool "voices"), camels, mountain lions, sea lions, rays, sharks, etc. were all there too.

I would really like to work at a place like that some day.
