Good goat times today. Managed to get out. I was a bit worried about how I would cope, after the breaking of the back. But it actually was ok. I have pain in the area with the broken bone or whatever it is. But my general pain level in my back was actually less than usual. I have secretly been fantasizing that whatever part of my back broke was the part causing all my pain and it would now grow back stronger and fix everything. I know I know, it sounds like I have a medical degree, but I swear I don’t! Anyway, I’m not naive enough to think everything will be fine. But today was much better than expected. The localized pain was not as bad as the general pain have been at times. So I’m glad I got out.
I was a little later than usual, and when I arrived I met Jeanette en route to the goat pen. We stopped and chatted, about my back and some other things. That was nice. Although the goats were extremely offended. they hadn’t had their breakfast yet and I was late and the humans WERE JUST STANDING THERE AND TALKING. What an outrage. Someone call the animal welfare.. .police. Poor starving goats were screaming at us from the fence as we talked. It’s a hard knock life in the goat pen. They were happy when I got breakfast served though.
And it was a lovely day with them. Mostly overcast with a bit of rain now and then, but not enough to really bother us. We had some sweet visitors in the pen saying hi to the goats. And one saying hi to me. The little girl Lily was back, and she still seems more interested in me than in the goats. I had previously thought she was non verbal, but today she did say hi to me. And then proceeded to say it a couple of times every time I said it back. I heard the adult with her trying to get her to say some things too. She is very sweet. Still fascinated by my camera. So I showed her a picture on the viewscreen. She was also pointing at my glasses and then pointing at her own. And then Jeanette took her over to see the chickens up close. Very sweet.
Now I’m back home and feeling my back a lot. But it went better than expected, so that’s good. Now i’ll have some soup and unwind.

Luna at breakfast, finally. With the feathers. Today was a Chase The Chickens day. Several times Luna lunged towards them causing louds squawks. Good thing they’re too fast for her! It’s funny how the feathers know Sky is safe and will happily share her breakfast bowl with them, but if Luna comes running you gotsta gets out the way.

Started watching the new show Sugar with Colin Farrell. I don’t have time to watch everything I want, I just started my Twin Peaks rewatch, I shouldn’t be watching this! But I am hooked. I love the vibe of it, Farrell is farrelly fantastic. And I love the mystery of it. The whole reason I started watching it is because I read that reviewers with advanced copies of the episode said that there’s going to a huge twist that changes everying. In episode 6 apparently. That intrigued me, and I started watching it. And it’s really speaking to me. I love these kind of mystery shows where you’re not sure what’s going on and you get the feeling there’s more to it than what you first think. Lost is my favourite show of all time, Twin Peaks might be my second. I love these shows where you’re not sure if it’s going to be regular drama or if there’s something supernatural or sci-fi going on. And the weirdness and unease, the dream feeling. Sugar definitely has that. I’m not sure if they’re aliens or blade runners or angels or AI or werewolves or vampires or what the heck is going on. Maybe he’s insane and it’s all in his mind. Just caught up with episode 3. I guess there are three episodes to go until we find out. I wish I could binge the whole thing right away. So far my best guesses are aliens or angels. But it almost seems like they’re hinting too much at something like that, maybe it’s misdirect. And all the shots of the moon, and the connection with animals. That feels like werewoves or vampires, but can they do that without it being super lame? I love the nu noir detective feel. The narration definitely has a Blade Runner vibe to it.
Sorry for the ramble, I just had to get those thoughts out of my head. Can’t wait to watch more episode. If you like mystery shows like I do, I definitely recommend Sugar. I think reviews have been mixed and I think some people feel the twist left them angry, but I can’t comment on that yet of course.
It’s an Apple show in case you feel like checking it out.
Now I can get back to Twin Peaks while I wait for new episodes of Sugar. John Sugar, that’s a weird name. People calling him sugar, I wonder if there’s something to that. Maybe he’s piece of candy brought to life by… a wizard. I’ll workshop that theory. It’s better than watching my blood sugar levels.

Had two weird robocalls today. First a man then a woman speaking some incomprehensible asian sounding stuff. Weird. it happened like 15 minutes apart and I though oh no, is my number on some list and now I’m going to get these calls constantly? Well it’s been hours now, so hopefully it was just the two tiems and no more.
I know my number is on some Danish list, because periodically I will get calls from Danish businesses who are exempt from the ‘no phone selling’ laws. If I don’t answer the phone then they keep calling and calling periodically. If I answer the phone and waste a minute of their time then they usually go away for a month or two. But those are legitimate businesses trying to sell me stuff. I don’t know what this was. Maybe it was a scam targetting asian immigrants? Maybe they got a wrong number? I looked up the numbers online, one number got no results the other was a private number from some Danish person. I am pretty sure the numbers are spoofed. I’m not going to call back to random people.
Anyway. Weird.

Back in the red room. Redrum redrum. Still absolutely terrifies me. Can’t wait for the nightmares! But it’s so sorking fascinating. Where we’re from the birds sing a pretty song, and there’s always music in the air.
It’s funny how it mixes utterly mundane and sometimes inane soap storyliens with absolutely insane dream logic and haunting visions. And there’s a fish in the fkn percolator. I love how utterly 90s it all feels, and I wish the world was still in 4:3.

I will never understand why some religious people would think that their god’s love is so finite that it could be rocked by things like gender or sexuality. Do you honestly think god cares about gender? Even if you think it’s all baloney and made up, do you think god would be angry at someone who ‘claimed’ to be non binary or who ‘decided’ to change gender once a week? Why would it matter to god? Why would it matter to god if someone is trans or whatever? Is your god so weak and hateful? Does he also stop loving people who use cell phones because he can only comprehend landlines?
Well, I’m being facetious.I understand. God has always been the perfect tool for humans to persecute and dominate and subjugate other humans. It just makes me so sad that religion that should be divine is used for hatred and bigotry.
I am glad I have gotten to know some good religious people on here, it makes it easier to remember not to judge everyone by the covers of their holy books.
Alright alright. I’ll shut up. I could go on forever, until the four goats of the apocalypse drag me to the funny farm.

Had to stop by the doctor’s office to do a urine sample. Last time my liver levels were a little elevated. When I was there last week they forgot to make me leave urine sample, so I had to go in and do that today. A bit annoying, there are other things I would have rather been doing. But I gave them some yellow snow, so we’ll see how the readings are this time.
When I got home I managed to get an hour in on the exercise bike. First ride since I cracked my back bone. Went fine, although my legs were tired after being out on the pee run. But I’m still going.

After the trip to the doc’s office I did a little shopping. In the line in front of me was a young boy and his mother. The boy was crying because he couldn’t have any of the goodies they were buying yet. It wasn’t a loud obnoxious crying, just a little sad because whatever was in their cart was so delicious and he couldn’t comprehend why he couldn’t just start eating it right away. And his mother was comforting him and telling him that it would just be a minute then they would have paid for it and he could have some.
And then she said “do you think you want the mini pizza first or [something else[“. And that’s when I knew that we had a little Mini Lasse here. Crying because he had to wait 1 minute for pizza. Girl, same. I feel ya. Life is an unbearable descent into pain and disappointment, until one minute when you have pizza and everything is great.
i did think the mom was very sweet, she was comforting and distracting the kid and not just letting him eat stuff while they were in line for the register, I think she handled that well. I hope the kid got his pizza and it was good.

Welcome to another edition of What’s Lasse Been Reading Watching Listening To.
Just finished Anthony Daniels’ “I Am C-3PO”. I thought it would be an autobiography but it wasn’t quite. It’s funny, Patrick Stewart’s book that I finished recently took a long time getting to the Star Trek parts. It went through his upbringing and early acting in Shakespeare and such. I Am C-3PO had none of that. It was all Star Wars all the time. Literally. But as a huge Star Wars fan I didn’t mind that. It was lovely hearing behind the scenes stuff from the early movies and what happened later on. I wouldn’t have minded an actual autobiography, but I appreciated getting a look at the man behind the robot. There was a lot of personal stuff and he didn’t hold back, a look at the sadness and problems of being C-3PO, as well as the joys and rewards. So that was neat. And another example of audiobooks giving that little bit extra when read by the author. His normal voice isn’t quite the same as the robot’s, but it’s not far off. I like when he finished the legal disclaimers at the end and he said “I have to say all that, for legal reasons”.
I could definitely relate to some of his self-deprecation. If you love Star Wars, definitely pick this one up.
Watching? Well I am eagerly awaiting the next episode of Sugar. Until then, proceeding with the Twin Peaks rewatch. Gotten to some of the really weird and hauting stuff, but so far no nightmares. I think. I have woken up a couple of times with Twin Peaks music playing in my head, but I had nightmares and just forgot about it.
I have also been watching Hollywood Darlings which is a comedy series a few years old, featuring Christine Lakin, Jodie Sweetin and Beverley Mitchell. From Step By Step, Full House and 7th Heaven. Because rewatching Step By Step and Twin Peaks is fuelling my nostalgic cravings for the 90s. It’s a pretty fun show, not amazing but I like how they poke fun at themselves, reminds me a little of Curb Your Enthusiasm and other things where people play heightened versions of themselves. I always love that. My favourite is James Van Der Beek palying himself on Don’t Trust The B* In Apartment 23. That was a great show, stll angry they cancelled that. Oh and yes I watched the finale of the last season of Curb too. I enjoyed the season a lot. I’ve seen some people not liking it, but it’s still amusing me. And I loved the finale parrallels to the Seinfeld finale. I wouldn’t mind more Curb, but this was a good way to go out I thought.
Listening. I have been listening to The Smile. Thom Yorke’s ‘new’ band. It’s challenging. A lot harder to get into than Radiohead. But after listening to it for a few weeks it is growing in my head, and some of it is very beautiful. Corgan, Stipe, Yorke, the three troubadours of my musical awakening.

Today is a bit of a rough day, but I’ll talk about that later.
The good news is that my urine test came back and I passed with flying colours. That is a relief. When I saw that I had a message from the doctor I was worried that it was going to be doom and gloom.
Don’t know why my liver numbers were too high last time, maybe it was just a fluke. Or maybe all the exercising I’ve done in the months after that test has gotten me back on track. I’m just glad that’s off the table. I still have to work on the blood sugar levels, back pain, general fitness. But slow and steady wins the race, as the turtle said to… other turtle. Those turtles are so chatty.
Carry on.

It has been a year since Mia passed on. Seems hard to believe. Time always flows in odd ways when your life gets disrupted by these kinds of traumas. I have been through it before, the loss of goats that meant so much to me. At first it seems like you can’t go on and nothing will ever be okay again. And then you go on, because you have to.
There have been some truly special goats in my life, but Mia was special among the special. She changed my life, with the facebook page and our story together. A lot of you reading this now probably wouldn’t be reading it if it hadn’t been for Mia. For a decade she was the focal point for a lot of my life.
If you’re following the goat page you know that I recently started posting weekend flashback videos. Going through the old videos to pick which ones to post, it brings a lot of joy. And sadness. I can look at the other special goats, all of them were special in their own ways of course, but you know there were some that stood out to most of us. I can look at them and be happy and smile and not really feel sad unless I dig for the feeling. But with Mia I can’t only feel happiness, the sadness is still too great. I suppose that is natural. And I have mostly dealt with the loss by not thinking about it. Which is not really healthy. But it hurts too much. I can’t deal with it. I close it off in my mind, along with the other things in my life that I can’t deal with. There are a lot of locked doors in the attic of my mind. Maybe some day the weight of all that’s hidden and locked away will bring the house down. But I don’t really know how else to cope. There are things you know, and there are things you don’t know.
I am thankful for the three little goat ladies we have now. Throwing my love and attention to them. Letting them preoccupy my mind. The arrival of new kids is always a joy. Bella and Luna are wonderful. And Sky is my old girl now, the last remains of the old days. With all she’s been through I feel responsible for doing the best I can for her and keep her happy. As she does for me.
Well, I probably shouldn’t ramble on for ages. You all know what Mia meant to me and how much I miss her. When I let the thoughts in. I hope I will see her, and all the others, again some day.
One day a day, as long as there are days left.
Thank you everyone, for caring about me and the goats. I never thought so many people would care, but Mia brought me there.

Love you loves!

Finished season 1 of my Twin Peaks rewatch. Loving it, of course. I have watched the show a number of times, but it’s the first time in quite a while, a decade or more, and the first time since watching The Return. That has definitely influenced me. I’m finding this time I’m really loving Bobby a lot. Maybe it’s because of what happens to him 25 years later in The Return. Maybe it’s just because I’m older. The way he calls out the entire town at Laura’s funeral speaks to me a lot more, and the sadness in him. Also enjoying when he’s just a fun bad guy.
Appreciating the Log Lady mroe too, I mean I always did appreciate her. But that heart wrenching scene in The Return makes it even more emotional.
The music is so addicrive, I find myself constantly humming the tunes even when I’m not watching the show. The visuals and the soundscape is outstanding.
Starting on season 2 now. Dreading Maddie’s murder, because I remember that scene always terrifying me. I have already started fearing looking in the mirror. And not just because I’m ugly, as usual!
Anyway. Better go before the milk goes cold.

That’s all for now.

Good goat times today. Absolutely gorgeous sunny day. Temperatures up around 12C/53, even warmer now. The first really feeling it Spring day. As I said to Jeanette, it almost feels like summer. Good to see her again. After her vacation and Easter it’s been a while. Now the gang is back together. The goats frisky in the spring sun. Lots of headbutting. And of course when the weather gets warm they love to sit and relax too. And I love to sit and relax with them. Bella usually the first to sit down, the first to curl her head around her body and nap. Luna always like to sit up against me. Sky liking her tub throne, but also found a new place. I took teh wooden boarde that we’ve had laying over by the fence and I moved it over to the mountain, put it on the side there. Great spot in the sun and Sky settle down no that for a while.
Nice visitors at the fence too, and chimney sweepers. By the hair on my chinny chin chin. They came over to the fence and said “Hi, we’re the chimney sweepers”. And I said “okay….”. Haha. Jeanette wasn’t there yet by then but I told them there would be someone over in the office building who could let them in and tell them where to do what. “I’m just the goatsitter..”.
But a lovely day, I hope to get more like this. Sun and goats is good for me.

Here’s Bella on the board. As I had suspected, and hoped, the moment I dragged it over to the mountainside it had goats jumping on it and buting heads because “This thing is my territory now”. We had a similar board at the first playground and there were some great times with goat kids playing on it. Just a wooden baord slightly askew (well askeeewse me) and you have a Disneyland for goats.
And as previously mentioned it also made for a great place in the sun for Sky to relax on later.

Speaking of the sun, here are the goats out in the sun. Notice anything strange? Yes, they’re out of the goat pen. I brought pumpkin seeds today, and in my quest to find a good surface to serve them on, I thought I’d take the goats out of the pen and do it on one of the tables there. Went pretty well, the goaties enjoyed the treats and they followed me when I called them back to the pen. Good show.

Got on the bike and did an hour 37 today. Every second counts. After a 6 day break exercising my legs were good to go hard again. So that was good.
It was harder getting up and started because the depression was strong this morning. I’ve had some sad dreams lately. A couple of nights ago I had a long dream where I was Steve Martin and Martin Short had just died. Obviously that documentary I watched got in my brain. But it was a really sad dream. Last night I dreamt I murdered someone. I don’t remember who or why, just that I went on with my life waiting to be discovered and apprehended. And then I woke up and by pillow was gone! No just kidding about that part. Anyway, I still love my dreams and I still dream a lot. The real world holds less appeal.

For the premium subscribers, an outtake. This is some video from the rains last week. It’s not a particularly interesting video, hence why I’m not posting it on the goat page. But I do think it’s kinda funny how it almost looks like it’s security camera footage. I put the camera on the tripod and up on the storage shelf which is why the angle is a bit funny. And I guess I accidentally set my camera to some weird mode, it almost looks greyscale. The whole look of it just reminds me of security camera footage from a robbery in a supermarket or something. The only one getting robbed here is me of apples by the goats.

Here’s Sky yesterday, after the pumpkin seed party on the table outside the goat pen. It was like she was looking out of the pen thinking ” I wish I could go back out there”. She was the only one who did a little looking around after most of the pumpkin seeds were devoured.

Got a Pepsi delivery today. But contrary to usual routine, I got less Pepsi this time, I mean, I still got 6 1½ litre bottles. But that’s a low for me. Along with it, and some other goods, I also got bottles of Blåbærbrus, sportsbrus and hindbærbrus. Blueberry, sports and raspeberry sodas. Still sugarfree, still probably not the best to drink. But hey, without caffeine. I’m going to try to not drink as much Pepsi. I still like Pepsi on soup days, it’s my joy. Hot soup and icy Pepsi. But on non soup days I’m going to try to not drink Pepsi. So, we’ll see how that goes. Maybe in time I’ll completely dump the Pepsi. Or maybe I’ll cave in and go back to a 1½ litre of Pepsi a day, don’t judge me I’m a reponsible adult I can do whatever I want to do ner ner.
Speaking of being a responsible adult, I’m having noodles again today. But on top of the ketchup and coconut oil I am adding fried potatoes. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have always loved mixing refried potatoes with pasta. Just me? Okay then. Tune in soon for more In The Kitchn With Lasse, responsible adult chef!

Good goat times today. The lovely summerly spring went away and was replaced by cold, grey and lots of rain. Boo urns. So it was a day mostly spent inside. Other than a trip down to the fence to say hello to some kindergarteners visiting Jeanette was away for a meeting today, so I had to take the goats down and play ambassador. Thankfully the rain had mostly died down by then, so the goats came down to the fence with me. They got some snack and the kids got to feed them, s that was a succes for all.
Other than that I spent a lot of time sitting in my chair, with Sky in her regular spot next to me. It’s funny, if she sees one of the others standing next to me and getting attention she’ll walk over and send them packing, like she’s claiming me. “He’s mine”. She can stand for absolutely ages and get scratches and cuddles. She’ll nudge her head against me until I do it. And she seems to be happy just standing there and getting attention for as long as I care to give it. Sweet old girl.

Luna again. I don’t think I have ever mentioned it, but I have thought it often, sometimes her white patch of fur on her forehead looks like a mohawk to me. Now the fur doesn’t actually stand up like a mohawk, it’s just that because of the colouring it kind of looks like it sometimes. Lil punk rock bleater.

Watching more old snl. Tonight, John Lithgow from season 14. I love John Lithgow so much. Him as Margaret Thatcher, don’t even need to say anything. Just the look.
Stealing the show though, musical guest Tracy Chapman. I don’t wanna talk sht about current snl, but some of the musical guests… Ice Spice. Travis Scott, 21 Savage. Jesus. It makes me feel very Old Man Yells At Cloud. YOU CALL THIS MUSIC. It amuses me because a while back I watched Radiohead doing Idiotequeom 2000 and I have to wonder if there weren’t a bunch of older people watching that going THEY CALL THAT MUSIC?!
Anyway. Tracy Chapman. What a voice. John Lithgow. What a voice. I laugh until my head comes off.

Well, I think I broke my back,
Or a bit of it anyway.
For a while I have been using a psoam therapy massage thing. I don’t know if you all know what that is, it’s basically a black piece of plastic with two protusions rising up. Like twin peaks. And you rub your back on it. It’s been feeling really good to use it. Well this morning I was doing it and suddenly I felt a give in my lower back and there was a loud crack. My spine cracks a lot, lots of sounds from my bonest. But this was a loud one. Neighbours might have heard it. I thought uh oh what happened. It felt kind of like the many many, many, times I have broken or bruisd a rib. Only in my lower back. It actually felt good right when it happened. But a couple of hours later it started hurting. The pain also reminds me a lot of the bent ribs. How far down do the ribs go anyway. Maybe it’s my hip. I don’t know. On my lower back left of the spine. Well, it hurts I move those parts now. I guess I’ll be hurting for the next few weeks, that’s how the ribs usually went. Maybe it’ll take away focus from my regular back pain. Oh boy. My body is just a wreck.
Well as long as it doesn’t get much worse than it is now I guess I’ll just have to live with it for a bit. Take it easy with the psoammer.

Hello. Good day, good morning, bonjour mess amys. How are you all doing this fine temporal fixated occurence? I am apained in my back. Feeling sad and tired of depression and pain. But hey hoo, one day a day. I’m going to sit back and watch the TWin Peaks pilot and try to get started on that rewatch I have been threatening. Three seasons and a movie. I will be inviting BoB back in, but I want to go back to there. Along the yellow bridge roads to galaxies far far away, there are also portals to the lodges, I know them well.
And then I’ll have some soup and pepsi and then we’ll see where the lost highway takes us.
Happy weekend, I hope you’re doing fine.

I am posting this photo of Bella and Luna butting heads instead of a mile long ramble about Twin Peaks and the real world and terror beneath the glossy surface. I hope you appreciate my restraint. I just want it noted that a) Twin Peaks is still phenomenal. 2) It’s lovely to watch a show in 4:3 aspect ratio when your vision is limited. q) Angelo Badalamenti’s music is absolutely genius and such a giant part of the Twin Peaks experience. Other than maybe John Williams’ Star Wars score I can’t think of a score that hits deeper and is more important. Absolutely class, rest in peace Angelo.
I know i’m going to have nightmares again, but I am excited to rewatch the entire Twin Peaks saga. My first time watching the entire stretch, if I survive it.
