Art Of Goats

I forgot how nice it can be to read Danish fiction. I read almost entirely English stuff. Reading a Danish book is like.. coming home. Everyday life instead of the fantastic. There’s value in everyday life too.

Good goat times today. Wonderfully warm and sunny. Most summerly ahoy. When I got to the playground I was greeted by the goats who were out in the dark forest. Because they can do that now that there’s passageway between their pen and the pasture. They haven’t boarded it up. And I didn’t get reprimands. That could still come of course. And I still feel bad about doing it the way I did. But I’m glad the goats have free range of all the facilities. We took advantage of that today. Running in the pasture. Trimming the trees. Relaxing on the bench. I think Mia and Mio actually prefer sitting in the dirt at the entranceway to the pasture rather than in the grass in their own pen. Now that the mud is try that dirt patch is a good place to relax. Being able to pass through the fence also came in handy when the horses got worked up because it was time for them to move to the other pen across the path. Once the first one gets taken out the others get all in a hufflepuff until it’s their turn. And they start running around, whinnying. Mia and Mio took that as their cue to run to the hole in the fence and retreat to safety in their own space. Haha.
But oh, it seems that A38 has found a way to get through the old passage, the one that was boarded up. She went through there a couple of times. i guess it’s because she’s smaller, she must be able to fit through even though that way is still boarded up. Now if only she could have shown Mia and Mio how to do that last week, I wouldn’t have had to break through the other fence! Oh well.
We had visitors too. A daycare or kindergarten group. I went over to htem and got Mia and Mio to follow me so the kids could have a closer look. And the goaties could be properly adored and petted. One girl kept saying “they’re so cute.. and so beautiful!”. Amen. They had lots of questions too. And one of the adults they were with had some questions too. He didn’t think lady girls had horns and beards. I pointed out A38’s beard to him. Haha. She’s rocking that goatee.
Good day .I hope the weather stays like this. It’s almost getting so warm that walking home is starting to be challenging. But still so much nicer than walking home in the cold. I won’t complain. I’ll probably need to start bringing a bottle of iced water soon, though.

I’m happy to report that Twin Peaks still forks me the freak out.

Haha. Now I’ve been approached by ‘Viralhog’ for licensing of the video of Mia on my back eating leaves. Maybe I should get a bidding war between them and Jukin Media.
Actually I’m feeling a little stressed over it all. I still haven’t read the contract Jukin Media emailed to me. All I want is to watch the new episodes of Twin Peaks, but my eyes are messed up as they often are late on a day spent outside.

Had a scary dream last night. Not surprising, since I watched 3 episodes of the new Twin Peaks before going to bed. In the dream there was someone lying next to me in my bed. I couldn’t see them in the dark. I was sort of lying on my side with my back to them. And they had one arm around me. And I couldn’t tell if it was a sort of loving, spooning gesture. Or someone holding on to me to stop me from escaping. Like a mouse being held by a lion, waiting to see if it wasn’t to snuggle or eat you.

Good goat times today. Another beautiful day. Warm and sunny. Bit of a cold wind, but still very summerly. It’ s a Holiday, so the place was closed in the morning. Good thing I was there to take the goats out. We had several groups of visitors that got some nice time with the goats. And we did lots of lazy lounging in the sunshine too. Pretty pretty good.

Alright, one selfie. But make it quick. I have places to be and things to goat.

The server found your request confusing and isn’t sure how to proceed.”
I see that Facebook has also been watching the new Twin Peaks.

I must have photoshopped this, how could Palle be so tiny and I so giant?
Today will be a good day. Keep on.

In my dream last night there was a fully formed song that would probably be a top 50 hit if I could remember it all. All I can remember right now is something about sleeping with the lghts on. Also I was riding a horse, only it wasn’t there. It wasn’t even an invisible horse because I still had two legs on the ground, but I was still riding a horse.
Sad Zombie is the name of my new comic strip, and also my Currently Feeling status.

Thank you Cyd Burk! Beautiful goat art and a wonderful valentine’s heart, haha! I’m not sure I deserve to have a halo, but what a wonderful representation of my extended goat family. I really need to start an art gallery with the things I’ve been sent!

Can’t talk now. I’m busy chatting to Russia on my secret backchannel. I’ll bodyslam you if you report this. Get out of the way, I need to be in front for the photo op. This is all perfectly normal. Let’s all jump in the sinkhole.

Agurklesnorks. Super hot day for exercise. Kicked my butt. Unfortunately my legs felt kinda weak so I didn’t get the most out of it. But it was still good. I love exercising in the blistering heat, because I’m insane. Tried something new today. Throwing ice water in my face. Haha. I’m not sure it’s as satisfying as throwing a glass of water in the face of a date behaving inappropriately, but it did give a good jolt. Now it’s tomato time, for me.

No, that’s not an error. I fully intended to order 2 trillion pizzas. Did you remember the extra cheese?

I just got emotional reading about Person Of Interest. Television is like people to me. People are like firebreathing bulls. Really, my head is complicated.

    What kind of Danish fiction are you reading? I like reading the Scandinavian authors like Henning Mankell, and the one who wrote “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” . . . whose name escapes me right now!

    I’ve read some books by Icelandic authors, too. They are usually crime/mystery fiction books which I really enjoy.

    What???? Lady goats have beards and horns, too??? I guess I thought everyone knew they all had horns and beards, unless they were disbudded when they were babies. (Which I think is cruel to do!)

    All our goats have their horns. I think they look like they are missing something when they don’t have horns. Billy wouldn’t be Billy without his tall, slightly flared horns.

    We taught our goats to have manners! My husband and I are the alpha goatzies in our herd and we made that clear to the boys when they were kids.

  2. Plume Says:

    I’m reading short story collections by Jan Sonnergaard. Good stuff!
    I couldn’t even imagine our girls without horns. That would be an odd thing. Horns are part of the deal, I feel. I pretend to be alpha goat, but we all know grandma would kick my butt if I stepped out of line.
