Good goat times today. I needed that. If you have very keen sense of observation you might have noticed I haven’t been in a good palce the last couple of days. Luckily, with the goats is a good place. I didn’t make it out yesterday, so it was important I got out today. A nice and sunny day, although cold enough in the morning that I regretted not wearing a sweater. But it got better as the day went on. And the goats goat goater. Some good, silly running around. It’s funny seeing big Mia act like a kid with the littles. It’s a little harder keeping everything under control when there’s 6 of them, but on the plus side it’s very easy to get them all riled up and running back and forth. Mia was sprinting so quickly ahead at one point that Sassy didn’t have time to get out of the way and Mia half pushed her out of the way and half jumped over her. Causing a kid at the kindergarten fence to laugh and go “that goat jumped right over that goat!”. It’s good fun when they get all worked up. The goats I mean, not the kindergarteners. Although that’s fun too.
And then lots of good times in the pen. Relaxing and handing out treats and doing stuff for the camera. With a mind blissfully free of worry.
Had to pick up a package on my way home. The younger postal lady saw me and said “I thought we’d see you, I noticed there was a package for you”. I really like our postal ladies, the younger and the elder.
There was also a sale on pasta wheels in the store. So I bought 8 big packages. The clerk must have thought I was going home to cook dinner for my big, Italian family. I go through the pasta a lot quicker these days. It crunches so loudly that you can’t just give to one goat. You end up giving to five, and then by the time you’re given everyone Mia is ready for round two and you can’t really say “You already got one!” because, you know, she’s a goat and you can’t say no. And then you have to fish out some raisins for the little guy. Yes, the treat budget has definitely increased. Good thing I make such big bucks selling goat content to the premium subscribers!

Still reading Eric Idle’s Sortabiography. Yesterday I listened to the chapters about Robin Williams. Very sad, as you can imagine. But I learned something that I don’t think I knew. Robin Williams had goats? According to Idle. It’s just one offhand line, the kind that most people just read on through. But to me it’s like someone hitting a giant gong. Goats? Someone said goats? I tried the google, but I couldn’t find anything about Robin Williams having goats. Maybe it just wasn’t public knowledge? I don’t know. I wonder if it was a business thing. For profit. Or just pet goats. Who knows. But oh, can you imagine Robin Williams sitting in a pasture with baby goats? That’s where I wanna go when I die. Assuming my own goat pals are there too, of course.
Maybe being with goats helped calm the storms in his mind? Or maybe I’m projecting, since that’s what they do for me.

Thinking about how the goats calm the storm in my head. It’s the only place where I can feel calm and at ease. Other than dreams. Everywhere else. It’s a constant turmoil of anxiety, fear, worry. Blindness, self-loathing. It’s a constant. It’s someone dragging you underwater in the swimming pool, and you can’t shake them. Like swimming lanes with a rhino on your back.
And it feels like it’s always been like that. I was thinking of how as a kid I’d purposely go to school 10-15 minutes early, just so the halls were mostly empty. So I’d be the first one in the classroom. So I could get to my space, in the far corner. And sit there before everyone else started arriving. To avoid having to walk through a crowd. Always that was my seat. In the corner at the far end. So two sides were safe. Like grandma Mio always settling down in the corner. It was always torture when we weren’t allowed to pick our own seating arrangement. Having to sit with people behind me was painful.
I wonder if my mind was always wrecked or if I did it to myself, just me. I don’t know. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be normal. I’m not saying being normal is the greatest thing in the world. But it sure would be nice to not live in constant anxiety and blindness and be able to, you know, talk to people. I wonder what that’s like. I wonder what my life would have been like… I wonder if people in comas dream constantly. I wonder.

Sorry I’m being quite spotty on the facebox lately. I don’t have smartphonery when I’m out with the goats, so no internet there. And I get very poor reception in dreamland. I think they’re still running dialup in there, so whenever someone is on the phone talking I get cut off. I’ve been spending a lot of time in dreamland lately. I was tempted to see if I could stay in bed for 48 hours. I wonder what my dreams would be like then.
Last night I dreamt, among other things, about tw of our old goat alumni. Chokolade and Lakrids. They were working in a supermarket. They hadn’t grown up, still kidsized. With tiny little.. apron things. I think their job was mainly entertaining the customers. Funny where the mind goes when you let it.
Good thing I still have some tethers to reality, otherwise I’d fly off like an escaped blimp full of helium I fear.

Good goat times today. Cold, though. Freezing with the windchill. Back to winter coat. But at least there was some sun now and then. I hope we get back to the good weather soon.
The goats were happy enough to get out and run around for a bit. And hang out at the fence so the kindergarteners could adore them. And there’s slowly starting to appear some greenery on branches here and there. The goat army will do its best to eradicate it all.
Funniest thing today was, not once, but twice Sassy tried sneaking a drink from Lily’s milk bar. Haha. Cheeky gal. Nuller got himself a drink today, so there’s still milk in there. Maybe Sassy wanted a bowl of corn flakes or something. Lily was chill about it.
Nuller got his first pasta wheel today! It was by accident, really. Milo was jumping on my back, so I gave him a wheel. Then he jumped down. And I thought he jumped back up, so I gave him another wheel. Then I realised… hmm.. isn’t Milo heavier than this? Twas Nuller up there this time. So he got himself a pasta wheel. I was a little worried that his little mouf wouldn’t be ready for that, but he seemed to cope with it. And of course, once a goat baby gets a taste of a new treat they get very eager for more. I gave him a little more, breaking off smaller pieces for him. Just a little. Don’t wanna give him too much of that stuff right now. But he sure is a cute cruncher.

Please tell us, so I can get off twitter before Trump fires someone new and that starts trending.
Gotta hand it to Trump, he sure is draining that swamp. That swamp called Department of Juice, Homeland Security, etc.

Okay, so my Palpatine thoughts. They’re not really very interesting. It’s going to be long and rambling. Kinda like a political post, only about someone less evil than Trump. AMIRIGHT #SithWhiteHouse
sorry.
And I haven’t read up on the fandom reaction to the teaser trailer (other than the standard THIS IS THE BEST/WORST THING EVER AND I CANT BELIEVE HOW DISNEY IS {CRUSHING IT]/[RUINING STAR WARS] etc). I could already be proven wrong by smarter minds and bigger nerds.
First off, just because Palpatine’s laughter is in the trailer doesn’t mean he’ll be in the movie. We’ve had stuff in trailers that didn’t show up in the finished movie before. So that’s just worth remembering. But it would be a dick move to put him in the trailer and then nothing in the movie.
My personal theory is that the laughter is an echo from the past. In the old continuity, before Disney, they did bring him back in the Dark Empire comics. He lived on in clone bodies, something like that. And in the books he was researching big dark side secrets and he was aiming to get the power to literally reshape reality, plus him and Plagueis were kinda messing with life and death which may or may not have directly or indirectly lead to the birth of Anakin. Plus in the Rebels cartoon they introduced this weird.. pathway between worlds. Where you could literally travel through time and space. And the emperor did get a glimpse into it. (I hated that plotline btw). So what I’m trying to say is, if they want to bring back Palpatine there is ample ways and means and precedence.
But I don’t think they will. Feel free to ridicule me if I’m wrong. I think it’s an echo of the past. Rey has been shown to have this .. power. Or whatever. The force vision/flashback when she found the lightsaber. She heard Kenobi’s voice.She saw Luke and R2 at the burning academy. I believe they were even planning to show her walking into Luke and Vader’s duel on Bespin, but they cut it and only showed her in the corridors before it. But my theory is, she’ll hear Palpatine when they encounter the fallen Death Star, as we see in the trailer. I think that will trigger a vision and Palpatine will be featured in it.
Another possibility is that the fallen Death Star could be like the dark cave on Dagobah. I’m not sure if it’s still canon, but I believe that speculation was that the cave in Empire Strikes Back was created by the death of a powerful Sith. So imagine what the death of Palpatine could have caused. That fallen Death Star could be a huge darkside epicenter. Not necessarily with the ghost of Palpatine, but with the darkside energy. And Rey might have to go inside to recover something. And then she’ll have to face.. herself? Like Luke did. maybe face the real facts of her parentage? Maybe the Palpatine laughter will be part of that, Like Luke facing Vader only to find his own face under the mask. Maybe Rey will face Palpatine and find her own face under the hood?
Those are my thoughts.
I could be completely wrong. They might LITERALLY raise Palpatine from the dead and have him be the Epic Final Boss. Who knows.
But my money is on either Force Flashback or Darkside Cave Encounter.

My next theory will involve the Death Star II crashing on Endor and the epic Ewok barbecues that ensued. All those dead bodies on the Death Star surely didn’t go to waste… They barely had to barbecue the storm troopers since they were all roasted in the giant explosion.

Mail! Thank you so much Keiko Murakami ! Three new, beautiful pieces for the collection. Baby Palle walker, Sky’s berry dispenser and a wonderful rendition of grandma Mio. It might just be because I’m seeing with my heart, but I really think you captured her beauty perfectly.
Thank you so much! When I buy an island off the coast of Costa Rica and make my goat sanctuary I shall erect a museum building and put them all on display.
