This is my trick to staying warm. Chemical handwarmers stuffed in my scarf. And as a bonus it totally looks great, fashion high five amirite! My fashion sense never ceases to amaze even I.
I need earmuffs for my nose, though.

Yes, so good goat times today. Even though it was cold. It wasn’t too horrible actually. Maybe because there was a good deal of sun. And I was dressed fairly appropriately. With the handwarmers in my scarf and all. My nose is the only problem. And it’s a big problem. Bignose. I somehow managed to not even fall once, somehow. My shoes don’t have very good grip. I survived. The goaties aren’t fond of the wet and cold, of course. And of course I picked this day to forget my bags of peanuts and raisins. Such a cold day when you really need treats to keep the spirits up. Oh dear. Good thing I had pumpkin seeds. Normally I like to drop ’em all in a pile and film them hoover it all up. But today I handed them out as treats instead. Not perfect, but it worked.
Remember I talked about the goats getting a new house? Well, today construction started. One guy, with wooden planks. We’ll see how that turns out. But I’m sure the goats will enjoy having their own litlte house to live in. And then I do believe their space in the stables will be taken over by a new horse, a fifth in the flock. At least that was the plan when last I heard of it. The goats weren’t too happy with the guy carrying planks around and using machines. Also, they weren’t thrilled that they got put in the horse pen. Because of the work going on in their pen now. The horse pen is lots and lots of frozen mud right now. And then add the demon horses. And snow. Yeah, poor goaties. But it’ll do for now. Until their house is built. Not sure how long it will take. Once the guy has put it up Alice is going to build the inside stuff, she told me. Maybe I should ask if they can make a spare guest bedroom for me.

Hey Santa, this year for seasonal holidymas I wish for a bluray player, a 4k tv and Twin Peaks The Return on bluray. By reading this you have entered into a legally binding contract and will be subject to statutory damages should you fail to live up to your aforementioned obligations.
I will also accept a check for a sufficient amount that would enable me to purchase said items myself. Please make it out to WishYouWereHer@JessicAlba.netscap/gallery.exe. Thank you, also a suggestion for you suggestion box: Goats to replace reindeer. Get with the times. Goats are the new it.

Signing off for today. Time to roam the dreamscape, looking for portals to other minds. Who knows, maybe I’ll show up in yours? If you hear a knock, put the pizza in the oven.
Like I said, I’m feeling more myself. But I can still feel the darkness. The sad. The river. It’s there. But it’s nice that it hasn’t ruled me. Since I got the news about dad, I guess. That was a big enough boulder to divery the river. Tomorrow is the Roy Moore election, isn’t it? We’ll see if I survive that.
Maybe I should share the good news? They are confirmed now, so I guess I could. What do you say? Paypal me funds to buy a 4k TV and I’ll tell you. I don’t think I can put my trust in Santa. He’s got high priced elf layers, and spies on every shelf. He’ll weasel out of it somehow. Like the time I wished for world peace and then he gave me a snowglove with a note saying “this world is pretty peaceful”. That was the year santa made MY naughty list. And not the good one. The non Kama Sutra one. I’ve said too much. Note to self: Always stop writing one paragraph before you intended to.

Okay, since the cat is out of the bag somewhat. The good news coming is that we’ll be geting a couple of new goats at the playground. They will be two little pygmies. Or dwarfs. I’m never sure what the difference is between those. But anyway. They won’t be newborn babies, but they will be little young ones. A brother and sister I do believe. The boy will be castrated. Like two little Yogis. I am sure we’ll be having a lot of fun with them. It will be interesting to see how Mio and Mia react. I would love it if they would all gel into one big group. But I guess there’s a good chance it will be like with Yogi. Mia and Mio are so bonded, and will be so much bigger and stronger. They might end up splitting into two little groups, having out together but mostly sticking in twos. We’ll see. Alice has been out sick which has postponed, but she told me it will happen before Christmas at least. So in the next couple of weeks. I haven’t seen them yet myself, but I bet they’re super cute. I mean, they’re goats. So that’s pretty much a given. And hopefully they won’t mind being spoiled and uncle-handed by a crazy human.

“People magazine publishes photo of Donald Trump with accuser he claims he never met”
FAKE NEWS. It must have been her Tulpa. This is a conspiracy by the inhabiting spirits of the Black Lodge. We need to build a wall around the Black Lodge so we only let White Lodge spirits in. I mean, it’s not about colour. But. You know the Black Lodge aren’t sending their best spirits. They’re sending their BoBs and their Evolution Of The Arms and their Woodsmen.

It looks like Dougie Jones won. Roy Moore lost. I am surprised, I have to admit. The fact that it wasn’t a slam dunk from the getgo still means that… there’s a lot of stuff wrong in the world. But I am happy about this. I don’t care if you’re a repurblican or demurcrat. I count this as a win for humanity. One more little light in the dark. I hope it will get stronger. At least having the endorsement of Trump and campaigning by Bannon isn’t a guaranteed win. There’s gotta be other ways, for both parties.
Thank you, Alabama. Now lock up your daughters, the 5th horseman of the pedocalypse is going to have more time on his hands I guess. Mothers, just say no.

“Roy Moore refuses to concede, says “we also know that God is in control””
That reminds me of that story… I forget exactly how it goes, but you know it surely. Basically there’s a flood and a guy is stuck on a roof. And then various people in various boats and floating things come by and offer to rescue him and he turns them all down, reasoning that he doesn’t need their help because god will save him. And then he drowns and dies and at the pearly gates he asks god why he didn’t save him. And god goes “well I sent you this guy, and that guy, and this boat, and that boat etc but you never got on any of them”.
Yes. God is in control. And you lost the election.What incredible hubris is it to just naturally assume that god wants YOU to win. That the election result is against god’s plan. That god’s will is only done when YOU win. Thou shalt not.. be Roy Moorish.

Today will be a good day. I hada bit of a rough night, but I’m fine. I’ll tell you about it later. Here’s Fuzzy flashback.

Good goat times today. I’m glad I made it out. I almost didn’t. But I’ll tell you about that later. The goating was good. The weather not so much. Cold, of course. A little rain and sleet. Still snow on the ground, but I doubt it’ll last much longer. Cold and wet. So naturally the goaties didn’t want to come out. Neither did I. Wasn’t feeling too well, so staying inside with them was just fine with me. When Anne came to feed and take out the horses it was cute to see Mia closely observing her. “Is that for me?!? ..no? …but is THAT for me?!… no? …how about that, is that for me?”. So hopeful. It’s a hard concept to grasp, a human giving out food but not to goats. I made sure to make up for it by giving them peanuts, which I had remembered this time. And some treats for Mousy. By treats I just mean a couple of bits from the big tin of cat food that they have standing around.
Later on we went out in the goat pen and say in the shelter. There is now a big, wooden cube standing next to the shelter. The goat house. It’s not done, but it’s looking like a goat house on the outside. While taking some pictures of Mia and Mio in the shelter I managed to drop my lens cap in the mud. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a black lens in watery mud? It was a miracle that I did. Also a miracle that I managed to not fall. Now the snow is wet and everything is wet and slippery. But I managed.
Now I need food please. Is that for me? Is that for me? Is that for me?

I am very very tired. Didn’t sleep well last night. Not sure what happened. Well, I just looked up ‘heartburn’ on t’internets and that does seem to fit the bill. It was really bad. I’ve had it before, on rare occasion. But never as bad as this. I did briefly consider whether I was going to live or not. Apparently I survived, unless this is the afterlife. i’d expect there to be more pizza in the afterlife. That or flowing rivers of fire and pain.
Well, I’m feeling better now. Although it hurts when I swallow. I think it’s soreness from last night’s vomiting and burping. I almost stayed home in bed this morning, but I’m glad I made it out. Even though the walk home was total zombie walk. I was so tired that I considered passing out. But I didn’t want to be an inconvenience to the traffic at large.
Yeah, that was unpleasant on a massive scale.

Time for me to go to bed. I am so so tired. I would have been in bed already if I hadn’t had to watch the season finale of Mr Robot (loved it, best episode of the season. Can’t wait for season 4). But now, finally, I can head to the dreamscape where the only heartburn is the goblin hearts in the fire that we roast marshmallows in. Thanks all for the concern and advice. I’m not worried. Just… remind me not to trust myself with cookies AND icecream at the same time. I have no self control. It’s like I’m a guy wtih a TV who lost the remote. What, I’m going to get up and manually change channels? No uh. I’ll just sit here and watch…reruns of The Mist? Oh no!

Oh and I’m feeling much better myself. No heartburn. Just a lump of coal left.

There are no words.
Well, there are 3. The Last Jedi.
What a ride. Wow. I have to process it all. And I can’t wait to see it again in proper quality. There was a lot of stuff I was not expecting. Not everything worked 100% for me. But it probably will on second viewing. Because wow. I didn’t expect the. And when the thing. And I can’t believe they. I would have never guessed that. You know?
Oh I wish we could have a 2½ hour Star Wars movie every month. I could not get tired of this. They should release a saga and an anthology and one of Rian’s new trilogy every year. Three Star Wars movies a year. That would be ok, as long as they also get to making that live action TV series.
I’m sure this film will be divisive amongst some of the fans. I already know some of the Luka fanboys will be crying out at some of the things with the things at the things on things (that is not a spoiler, btw. Just things). . But that would have happened no matter what. It’s like politics and religion. Everyone has their own truth. And they need the world to fit into that mold. But at the end of the day I take comfort in the fact that THE PORGS ARE KRIFFIN AWESOME AND YOU KNOW IT.
All Porgs All The Way. I’m ready for Rian’s Porg Trilogy. May the Porgs be with you, suckers! Resistance is futile, the Porg collective will assimilililate you.

Mia has learned a new trick. She can’t get into the food storage units below, but she can get up there to the shelf and knock things down. That’s where she found the bowl of foodstuff that she knocked down when Anne asked me if the goats had done it. Now every time Mia is over there jumps up to see if there’s something she steal or knock over. Darn goats. Nothing but trouble. I don’t know why we keep them around. They’re lucky they’re such hard workers in our construction business.

I have come to the conclusion that staying up all night watching The Last Jedi was a great idea, and all the singing butterflies that are currently flying around my head performing a medley of the most beloved Disney songs of my childhood all agree. Wait, those aren’t butterflies. Those are porgs. And they’re singing Mozart’s Requiem. I think I may be hallerciner…halloosinu… hallocinal. But you can call me and when you call me you can call me Al. HAPPY AL’OWEEN EVERYONE!
Anyway, I think I need to go to bed before the porgs take all the good mattresses in the dormitory. This jedi academy is a hard knock life. I knew I should have gone to Hogwarts. I mean, I have warts and I smell like a hog and also eat like one and many people say I have the personality of one. Ever since that wizard cast a ManBeHog spell on me. Hmm. Anyway, see you tomorrow dancing Mozart Porgs is a sentence you probably haven’t heard before.

I am amazed. Sorry it took so long for me to get it opened. Worth the wait! Oh cupcake tea! I’ve never had cupcake tea but it’s gotta be good.

Wow! New goatzies and a new goat house being built. Cool.
That is one big 6-legged goat in your one picture – an attention getting picture for sure. Had to do a double-take on that one. Hee, hee.
We had a little rain over the weekend, but it was warm, so no snow yet. Which is okay with me. I’m not ready to put the old snow shovel in use.
Your pictures have that “Scandinavian noir” look to them, dark moody blue skies, snow, and low light. I’ve been reading too many mysteries with those elements in them.
Next there will be a goat serial killer lurking about or should I say goat “cereal killer” instead! Hee, hee.
Bet they would like corn flakes or rice krispies or shredded wheat cereal – no milk or spoon needed.

Merry Christmas, dear Lasse! Thought I’d better say this now on the evening of the 23rd. We will be celebrating on the 24th with my parents, sister and her husband, and Sam and I. So we will be busy most of Christmas eve day.
We are supposed to have some snow overnight and into the morning – maybe 2 to 4 inches! Where did that darned snow shovel end up anyway?? We are getting together at noon for a meal, gift-giving, and dessert and coffee afterwards.
Since there will be snow and colder weather, we decided a noon meal so we could all be back home before dark.
We put some more straw down for Snickers and Billy and I gave them hay and warm water inside their shed. They will be out of the wind and have full tummies when it does decide to snow.
Speaking of full tummies, on the people menu, we are having ham and turkey breast to make sandwiches, with lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, swiss or cheddar cheese, potato chips, baked beans, and cherry cheesecake or Dutch apple pie for dessert. I can hardly wait!
Guess what we got to see the other evening? Baby lambies! One of the farmers we know raises some sheep and starts his lambing in late December. Oh, my. They are so cute. I think there were dozens of them running around, leaping, or sleeping together in little lambie groups. Nothing cuter than a baby lamb, except maybe a baby goatzie!
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas eve celebration!
December 24th, 2017 at 3:45
Milo and Sky!!!!! I want to come over and hold some baby lap goats, too. Why do you have to live so far away?
They are so cute with their little chubby cheeks. Mia and Mia are just so . . . what are those things? Aren’t we enough for you?
The babies are so friendly and socialized. I saw them go up to some of the visitors for scratches. Of course, I knew whose lap they would be sitting on right away!
Just made my day to see you with those sweet kids. Thank you for sharing them with us at Christmas.
December 25th, 2017 at 2:00
They are perfectly perfect little tubby goaties! So much fun. I missed having little ones around. Just what the doctor ordered. Santa couldn’t have outdone this. No white christmas here, but a good time with the family as always. Everyone doing ok and having some good food. Hope you guys are having a jolly time too, merry christmas!
