we saw the new harry potter last night. it was actually quite good. gareth's review hasn't been posted yet but i always get a sneak peek since he writes it on my computer. the theater was packed with people in capes with lightning bolts on their foreheads. the girls sitting next to us had even brought sticks resembling wands. it was all quite fun. it had been a tough beginning of the week so i was glad to escape into some fantasy. while i was in louisa at my brother's we found some kittens living in the woods. they were covered in ticks and living in logs. so we captured them and i took them back to r'mond with me. i took them to the spca first thing in the morning. they wouldn't take them saying they had so many kittens there right now that they're offering them buy one get one free this month. so i had to take them to animal control. when they took them out they looked pretty bad. one was barely moving. they had to put that one down right away. the other they said they'd get the vet to look at it. i called back the next day and they said they'd had to put the other one down too. they were infested with maggotts. i felt so horrible about it. i'm awaiting a call from them now about a rabies test. i'd been bit by one of them and i'm hoping they weren't rabid on top of it all. what a sad story. it did inspire me to look into volunteering at the shelter though. but they don't have orientation again until september. i hope i do it then. dad's right. i should be working with animals. it's probably time to start up my job search again.
