Sometimes late at night I pretend I am the sole survivor in the armageddon and that Facebook is an AI construct that I created to keep myself sane in the belief there is still human life out there.

Well, I wake up to see that Meryl Streep has once again had one of her patented insane meltdowns. I only wish Lindsay Lohan could talk some sense into her. Sad!

Good goat times today. Thankfully a little bit warmer, which helped a lot. I had a foot therapy session booked this morning. I had forgotten to factor in how dark it was that early. Wasn’t a very pleasant walk along the highway in the dark. But I made it. And then on to the goats. Back to Mudville, Denmark. Oh well. We also had a horse invasion. Remember that time when I said the horses were in the goat pen? Happened again, only this time I got to see them coming in. There’s part of the fence that’s been knocked down. I’d seen some rope strung across it earlier, but that rope was down today and the horses climbed over the bottom part of the fence that still remained. One by one they entered the goat domain. Much to the alarm and concern of the goats, naturally. Oh dear. But we had some sweet, cuddly times too. And later on Ophelia came by, nice to see her for the first time in the new year. She led the horses back out of the goat pen and into the big pasture. Not all heroes wear a cape, said Mia and Mio in unison, in my head.
Also, I definitely didn’t buy pie.

I arrived today just as Finbarr had let the animals out. He told me some interesting news. It turns out that Alice, from the old playground, will be joining this playground. She worked at the old playground all the 10+ years I went there, much of it as manager. She’ll be starting here part time at first, but will be full time later. It will be nice to have a familiar face there. One that I maybe feel a little more comfortable talking to.
On the other hand.. don’t mention it in public posts, but Alice and Bodil kinda had a feud going on at the old place. Alice was one of the people who we felt sometimes prioritized money over animal welfare. I don’t know if she’ll be in charge of animals here now. I hope she isn’t replacing Ophelia. Shut up. Anyway, this place is very different than the old place and there are other people here in charge and working with the animals. So I don’t think it will be a problem. The last time I talked to her she was talking about helping getting a new horse there and maybe building something new for the goats and maybe getting a little pygmy friend for A38. So hopefully some of those things will come to pass.

Nevermind celebs not talking about politics, could we please have presidents not tweeting about celebs?
Although I will say that Trump has a point about Meryl Streep. Pretty overrated. I mean, she hasn’t won the World Series. She was VERY indecisive as Sophie. I don’t recall her ever grabbing any American Pies. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t last long in the ring against Mike Tyson. She hasn’t been in ANY Star Wars movies as far as I know. Also she’s not fat, which I consider a personal insult directed at me personally. Her first name almost sounds like Daryl’s brother’s name on The Walking Dead. Meryl. Merle. Meryl. Merle. Daryl Meryl. Daryl Meryl. Her name is like a combination of Daryl and Merle. That can’t be coincidence.

Public service announcement: I am really bad at replying to messages etc. Because it involves communicating with human people, which is not my forte. Also it says I’m connected to people on messenger, but I don’t have messenger. Or a smartphone. Or basic human coping skills. Also, please send your regards to the family of that pie. It didn’t stand a chance.

Do you ever worry that the world will keep spinning faster and faster and some day we’ll all be flung off and fall into deep space? Some nights it’s all that I can think about. The velocity of humans falling through space. I only hope there is someone at the bottom with a pot, catching us like water drops through the leaking roof in a rain storm.

Good goat times today. Mixed weather, though. When I stepped outside it was lovely and sunny. Only problem was, the sun was behind me. Looking ahead I saw nothing but the darkest of skies. It sounds like metaphor or exaggeration. But it treally was like that. I turned my back to the sun and walked on into the darkness and rain. Even a little snow. Luckily not too bad, and not super freezing. The sun must have followed me because it came back out when I reached the goats. I swear, this is not allegory.
Later on the rain/hail/sleet/snow started again. Mia and Mia ran for the barn. A38 followed right along with them. Until she reached the door and seemed to remember that she’s scared of being in the same room as them. Aw dear. She stood at the doorway and bleated her Night Court Selma croaks. Couldn’t help feeling bad for her yet at the same time laughing because she’s so darn cute with that voice. I called out to her and she followed me to the halfshed. And because the big mean girls were rained in we got some private time, just A38 and me. I had an extra banana that I was planning to give to Mia and Mio, but I figured A38 had earned it so she snarfed it down with great delight and didn’t have to hoof it afterwards.
The horses invaded the goat pen again. I’ll have to talk to the people there and ask if they don’t have someone with carpentry skills that can mend the fence.

People are still occasionally sharing or commenting on this video. 18,000 views. Every time it pops up in my notifications it reminds me. As much as I loved his goofy leaping, the hugs are what I miss the most. Especially the surprise ones. Sometimes I’d be sitting there, my mind somewhere else and suddenly he’d lunge at me. Beautiful Palle.

Put together a compilation of Palle hugs. And some people think goats can’t be affectionate.
Always bittersweet looking through all the old footage. Makes me miss the old playground too. For all its faults, I still have so many memories of sitting in those grassy hills or on that bench that was falling apart from grandma Mio stepping on it.

Look, I admit that Moana was a good movie. But for me, the best animated movie of 2016 was my flip book animation of a guy tripping over a banana beel and for no apparent reason exploding. Still trying to get it released in theatres.

Any page owners getting this message too when they try to edit videos on their page?
“Profile Is Not Eligible: Only verified Facebook profile is eligible to publish branded content.”.
The edits seem to actually go through even though the message says I can’t publish the edit. Weird. Looks like “branded content” is sponsorships or product placement etc. Maybe they think I’m being paid by the tomato industry. WHICH I TOTALLY SHOULD BE.

I believe I have previously claimed to like The Good Place. I should like to take this opportunity to upgrade my assessment and state that I love it. And it’s not just because it stars my wife, Kristen Bell, and Ted Danson, whom we all know is the alt-reality version of what I would have grown up to be if I had followed my acting dreams instead of that trail of goat berries that led me into the forest of the wild unknown. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, also the whole theme of trying to be a good person, especially if you’re actually extremely flawed, that has always appealed to me a lot. And also, it’s just so damn cute. Especially the Artificial Intelligence Janet Duke who just got married to the adorable moron Jianyu. They just make me laugh. I think it’s a really funny and cute show and it’s also doing a good job of keeping the mystery of the place going.

I love the dreamworld. I had a really good, long sleep. Among the craziness was a delivery of tons of candy and cake and probably cookies I assume. It was a Christmas gift from someone, but it had been stuck in mail so it arrived on my birthday. Must have been quite a delay since my birthday is in March. Also in the dream.. I had a 3rd sibling. I’m not sure if it was another brother or a sister. But in the dream it was just as if he or she had always been there. Kinda like when Dawn arrived on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. “What? Yeah, I’ve always had a sister. Totes”. Oh I love to dream. I don’t know why I ever get out of bed. Other than to answer the door when the pizzas are delivered.

I wish I could live life like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books. Which is to say, keep a thumb on the page you were coming from and if the choice you made turned out bad you could just go back and try the other option. Not that I ever did that, I’m not a cheater. I also wish I had a +7 trainer for life. Maybe an idspispopd to walk through walls-

End of Facebook, begin goat photos.
And that’s all for this week, see you in the next one.

Oh, lots of pictures of moody clouds, fog, and squishy mud – Danish noir. It sets the atmosphere for your blog.
So when are you taking pics of the oft-mentioned, but never seen pizza? I want a pizza close-up.
It has been raining hard here all day. Lucky it wasn’t ice like some places were getting. It would stop raining briefly and the goats and donkey would run outside of their shelter. Then they would run back in when it started raining again.
January 17th, 2017 at 16:11
You’re right, I probably should take a picture of my pizza! I just have to remember it before I eat it all down, haha!
We’ve had a lot of frost here. Winter freeze for real. Just gotta make it to spring.
