Good goat times today. Finally, finally back. So good. I think the goats were happy to be let out of their pen too. They did some fun running around. And grazing. I’m not sure the grass is any good yet, but it’s good enough to get the goats munching on it. And there are even green buds on some of the trees. I tried telling the goats to leave them alone so they could grow into tasty leaves. The goats have other plans. It would be like telling me not to eat all the slices of a pizza. Save some? HAHA you make me laugh, what a concept.
Sky was really chatty today. Lots of bleating. She’s so funny. Sweet, little girl. With that croaky hoarse voice. At one point I took Mia out of the pen to do some solo filming. And Sky was practically screaming at us. She was not amused.
I have noticed that she always starts bleating when the gruesome newbies get close to her. Even if they aren’t bothering her. If they just walk by her she starts grumbling and mumbling and the closer they get the more she bleats. It’s like she has a proximity alert. Maybe I should try that. When humans get too close I’ll start mumbling and bleating at them until they move away.

We got a good deal of sunshine today. Lovely. I even took off my winter coat for a little while! First time since… November? Wonderful. I was sitting on the bench with Mia next to me and she let out a big huge goat yawn right in my face. If only I had been filming, it would have made for a glorious video. I was hoping she’d sit down next to me, because I always love when she sits with me on the bench. But then Sky had other plans… she started bugging Mia. Haha. It was really funny. Mia was standing on the bench and Sky on the ground. And she kept sniffing at Mia’s hooves. And Mia swatted her away. But she just kep going and then sniffing around under Mia’s belly. And then sweet little sky started making little bucky grunt noises. Oh dear. Someone’s in heat. Or both. Sky kept bugging Mia and Mia kept trying to get her to stop. Until finally Mia had had enough and jumped down from the bench and started walking. “Geez, that’s it, kid. I’m outta here”. But Sky just followed her and started sniffing her rear. Oh dear. Haha. Well maybe that also explains why she was so chatty today..

Had a weird dream with Mia. For some reason I had to transport her I guess. So I put her in a freezer… don’t ask me why. There was a bag of frozen peas in ther and I got a few out of the bad and she was nibbling on those. And then I guess I couldn’t carry the freezer? This is when it gets real weird. I had a zipper in my tummy.. andI opened up my stomach. And I put Mia in my stomach. And I walked along with Mia in my tummy, like she was a baby in my womb. Only she was fully grown size. Haha. I don’t even. I know i’m fat but I’m not sure my stomach if Fully Grown Mia size.

Spent some time youtubing covers of Forever Young. I have a feeling it’s considered corny and uncool? I don’t know. I love those lyrics. A lot. Do you really wanna live forever is a loaded question when you barely want to live a day. The music’s for the sad man.
I love it, though. Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

“Will you be honest with me for a second? Just tell me the truth. Do you ever feel lonely?
I mean really lonely. No matter what you do or who you’re with you still feel it. Like you’re walking around and you can feel the whole universe out there, this huge thing out there just going and going and going. And everyone around you is just.. knocking into eveything. Bruising everyone and themselves. And you just feel so lonely you could scream. Tell me I’m not crazy? Tell me you know what I mean?”
Current TV recommendation: The Sinner. ON it’s third season, every season is a self-contained story. It’s a crime thriller thing, but it plays a lot with unreliable narrator and twister memory and that kind of stuff. Bill Pullman is just wonderful. It’s gripping stuff, one of the few shows where I feel like I just want to watch the newest episode right away.

I think that quote about the loneliness probably hits home to a lot of people. The people who have been touched by the loneliness? The freaks and the geeks, the loners, the losers, the outcasts, the empaths, the unlucky ones. The depressed, repressed. The emo angsty teens. Did I cover all the bases? I imagine I have a number of friends who can relate to some of that. Maybe moreso in the group of friends I found through music and onliny journalling, than with the goat folk. But there are probably some from teh goatfolk too. We tend to drift together, somehow.
I sometimes wonder what it’s like to be normal? To have a quiet mind without worry and pain and doubt and self-loathing, without anguish and fear and without voices telling you that you’re no good and that you don’t deserve to be here. It must be like a beautiful, sunny summer day. As opposed to the storm of a troubled mind.
I don’t know. Maybe everyone has the storm in the mind at some point. It’s hard to imagine going through life with total confidence in your right to be there and to be happy. Even the happiest people must have a hurt child buried inside. Or nah? I don’t know. What is the blessing and what is the curse? Empathy is a good thing. The best art is often made by troubled people. If you think you deserve everything, how easy would it be to think others deserve nothing? If you think you deserve to be here, how easy must it be to build walls to keep others away from your riches. The richer you are the more you want more money. The poorer you are the more you learn to value the less material things. I guess a balanced mind would be the best. My mind is all over the place. Silly goofy highs, deep despairing lows. But even though I have gotten better over time, there is always, always, that voice that says.. you’re not good enough. You don’t deserve to be here. Guess you learn to live in the storm and find beauty in the rain. And appreciate the sun when it shines.
Or I don’t know, I’m just saying words. Rambling as it ever was.
Hey, thanks you all who shine a light into my cracked head. You’re my umbrella, et have af udstrakte hænder.

I’m out of soup. To make up for this horrible tragedy, I ordered pizza.
Thanks all fro the responses to the posts yesterday, I am lucky to know such good people. And to have pizza.
Thank you for making me feel like my existence is not utterly pointless.
I toast a slice to your honour, brave viking ballet dancers.

I feel like there is someone constantly hammering, sawing, walking, moving furniture or playing loud music in this building.
I swear, a few years ago I barely heard my neighbours. Now I hear them all the time. Even just tv through the walls. And I know I sound like a crazy old coot, but I can even SMELL them. Sometimes my apartment is filled with the garlic of their cooking. Or cigarette smoke! Well, not smoke. But the smell. I can smell cigarettes through the wall. Thankfully that’s not too often. I may be paranoid but everytime I hear someone drilling somewhere I can help thinking “NO STOP YOU’RE DRILLING THROUGH THE WALLS, ALL THAT DRILLING IS THE REASON I CAN HEAR AND SMELL YOU”.
Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not installing cameras in the wallspace.
At least I can take comfort in the fact that they must be hearing all the bleating very clearly when I edit goat videos.

Rest in peace Ole Michelsen. I know he wasn’t known outside Denmark, but I feel like I have to mention him. He was am ovie reviwer. Back in the day when we had one channel, maybe two. Back when you didn’t get content stuffed up you a$$ everywhere ypu æppl. when things didn’t have to be super fast and super commercial and lowest common denominator. I was never a huge movie buff. I mean I loved movies, but it was more like American action, scifi, adventure. While Michelsen famously loved French cinema. But his tv program Bogart was must-see TV for me. He had this graphic with bogart and a cigarette. And he gave out 1-5 hats that fell into place at the end of the show, after he’d talked about the movies. He was one of those guys that just seemed so utterly genuine and the passion he had for what he did shone through and gripped you. Reminds me of Jakob Stegelmann. whomst you also don’t know. Even if they are/were talking about something you didn’t care about it was still worth listening to. He just seemed like such a gent. And back before the internet, his program was the best way of knowing what movies were coming out. Not that I was a cinema goer. I would wait for the video releases. Because phobia.
Anyway. I’ve rambled enough. Five hats on for Ole. Hope you’re in a good place with great directors of the past now.

Just hanging out. Mia is keeping a close eye on Nuller. She likes swatting him away when he’s sitting in my lap or standing on my back. Little bit possessive.

So how are you doing with the virus in your area? Are you able to see the goats or is travel not encouraged?
We are alright here. No local schools shut down and people are out and about right now. But seems like things change quickly.
Hope you, your family, and fellow Danes stay healthy and get thru this safely. Sending good thoughts your way!

I am still a little unsure how it’s gonna go, but I need to see the goats. So we’ll see. Lots of stuff is shutting down now. Our borders too. But hopefully things will go okay. Had birthday soup, so that’s something! THank you!
