It Is Happening Again
Good goat times today. A beautiful sunny day. But cold. Almost freezing in the morning. Warmed up a little as the sun did its thing, but still with a very cold wind. Brr. But the sun was nice. When we were out of the wind and into the sun, it felt good. Lazy goats sitting around.
We have a couple of electricians, I assume, working in the pen and the goat house. At least they didn’t dig the ground up this time. But they went around and did a bunch of drilling and stuff. I felt a little awkward, but they were nice enough and went around and did their thing.
We had some nicer visitors, kids and adults feeding the goats and coming in and petting them. They hadn’t been here before. When we get first time visitors we usually hear things like “it’s so nice that this place is here” and appreciation of the animals. I think we’ll be seeing them again.
So that was a quite lovely day for everyone.

I was sitting on the chair enjoying the sunshine and then Sky walked over next to me, but instead of standing there to get her sccratchies as she usually does, she sat down there. I liked that, like a dog sitting at its owner’s feet. Except of course Sky owns me, not the other way around.
Not sure why Luna decided to try and smell if I left any farts when I got up off the chair to take a photo.

Btw, I know my facebook profile is your goto stop for Danish soccerballs news. You may remember recently I posted about Brøndby’s Japanese strike Yuito Suzuki and how he scored three goals in the game where his family was visiting.
Well, yesterday he again had someone visiting. I am not sure if it was family or friend, but it’s kinda funny how the camera picks out the Japanese spectators in the crowd. They stand out in our mostly whiteywhite crowd. Haha. Anyway. Again he had visitors. And again he played brilliantly. Brøndby won 2-1 with two goals by Yuito, the first one a great goal the second one was one of the best goals of the season.
So for all you fans of balls, enjoy these balls and how they get a kicking. And please send Japanese people to be in the crowd in every game! (sorry for the mild racism).

In a rare non sports post, I finished my rewatch of The Soup today. I have almost 500 episodes, dating back to 2007. Watched them all at least twice. I was feeling a little sad that I was through them all but then.. I decided, oh why not just start from teh beginning again. 500 episodes, bad memory. I’ll have forgotten a ton, I can still enjoy them. Once more with laughing.
It’s kind of my go to when I eat soup. Eat a big pot of soup while watching an episode of The Soup. I wish they’d bring it back, there’s still plenty of reality tv and pop culture sht to ridicule. I heard a while back that Craig Ferguson was going to be doing a Souplike show. I hope that comes to pass. I would like that. I would like that very much.
But that’s my life. Soup and The Soup.
If anyone knows of a place where you can find episodes from before August 2007, please let me know.

Aw, look at Sky and Bella sharing the board. That’s sweet. And they managed not to slide off. It’s a good spot to sit in the sun.

Got an hour twenty five in on the bike today. Phew. Good going. I just hope I don’t get selected for the random doping testing, because I may have partook in some performance enhancing soup. Wink wink nudge nudge.

For the premium subscribers, an early look at an upcoming video. Bella, once again, messing up my otherwise flawless film making. But hey, watching the cluckers is fun too!

A couple further notes from my Twin Peaks rewatch.
A) Albert is so so so wonderful, I absolutely love him. He is the funniest sob and then suddenly so endearing. Rest in peace Miguel Ferrer, absolute brilliance. “I choose to Iive my Iife in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are globaI. I reject absoIuteIy revenge, aggression and retaIiation. The foundation of such a method is Iove”.
2) The Tremonds are so unsettling. The old lady and her grandson. I was amused though when I watched their debut and caught myself thinking that the grandson looked so much like a little David Lynch. And then after the episode was over I went online to read recaps and discussions and I find out he IS a little David Lynch, Lynch’s son. I never knew that. Or maybe I did and forgot. But that was funny. They’re so creepy though. At least with Bob, as terrifying as he is, you know he’s evil. In the same episode where the Tremonds appear there’s a shot where Bob comes after Maddie and it’s just one long cut with Bob climbing over furniture staring straight into the camera and he just keeps coming at you and the scene doesn’t cut and it’s horrible. But at least you can tell he’s evil and a monster and he’s coming to eat your soul. Mrs Tremond and her grandson are just.. unsettling. there’s just something so off about them. J’ai une ame solitaire. Creepy creepy creepy. Although kind of hilarious that Mrs Tremond was played by the old lady that Jerry stole the bread from in Seinfeld.
3) This isn’t about Twin Peaks or Seinfeld, but could someone do a mashup of Air’s Kelly Watch The Stars and Woody’s Kelly Kelly song from Cheers? Thanks, I’ll hold my breath while I’m waiting.

I had a cool dream last night. I died. Well, that’s not the cool part. I think I was run over by a truck. Anyway, details details. But I lived on as a ghost or a spirit or some such thing. And I was traveling around. I was watching my friends cope with the loss. My old classmates from school. I often dream about people I went to school with, probably because I spent some 9ish years with them, and after school well.. there are not a lot of people I have spent a lot of time with irl. So It think the people I went to school with are sort of imprinted in my brain, and unlike how it would be for most others, I haven’t really had anyone to replace the imprint. I love you all my facebook friends, but writing with people doesn’t imprint them the same way I think.
Anyway. that was a tangent. It was pretty interesting being a ghost. If I die, I’ll tr to come haunt you all, in the nicest possible way. Like i’ll fart in Keiko’s apartment and make her think of goat berries. Stuff like that. No creepy BOB type crawling over furniture and eating your soul. Unless your soul is soup. Then I may eat your soul. With flourballs.
So anyhoo, how you doin?

Oh fk. I’m up to the Maddy episode. And i’m going to watch it before bedtime, because i’m a masochist and invite the nightmares in.
Just watched the episode with Gordon Cole’s first appearance. It’s funny, when i first watched Twin Peaks back ni they day, i did not know he was played by David Lynch. Back then I didn’t know who David Lynch even was. I don’t remember if his name was brought up much in Danish media when we started airing Twin Peaks back then. I suppose it must have been. But it wasn’t something I paid attention. It was only later on I found out that the deaf guy with the loud voice was the genius behind it all. Amongst others.
Also, I have to confess. I love Dick.
I think a lot of Twin Peaks fans hate Richard Tremayne. And certainly his, and some other, plot threads from season 2 really drag the show down at times. But I can’t help it. I love Dick. The actor just cracks me up. Soo smarmy and obnoxious.
Anyway. I can’t postpone it anymore. Gotta go watch THAT episode. It is going to be happening again.

Good goat times today. Cold and rainy morning. But we did get some sunshine later on. Stayed cold, though. But the forecast for next week looks promising. Hopefully spring will kick in for real soon.
Had my fun with the goats. Got some lapgoat time with Luna. It’s been a while. She’s aaalmost too big for it now. But she did settle down to chew her cud for a bit. I guess probably won’t get much bigger now. Just about a year since they came to stay with us.
We had nice human visitors too. My little fan Lilly was one of them. She was pointing at my pocket, she wanted to see my camera again. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me at that point. Because . My camera broke. I’ve had intermittent lens errors since one of Bella’s sabotage runs. And today it seemed to finally give up the ghost and not want to recover. Darnit. Back when it happened I did manage to procure a replacement camera, from the US no less. So I guess it’s time to put that into action. I really need to be careful with this one, I can’t afford to buy more replacement cameras. And it’s getting virtually impossible to find that make and model anymore. And I love that camera model. So, it’s time to keep Bella locked up in a cage when I’m around. Just kidding. But hooves crossed she doesn’t end up costing more thousands of kroners.
The things we do for goats. Actually, I guess I’m doing it for you all. The goats would probably be happy if I spent more time giving them treats instead of filming them.

One of the literally 5 photos I took before my camera gave up. Maybe we can use this as a mugshot for Bella The Menace.

Not just goat times today, also did an hour on the bike afterwards. It’s always challenging to do the exercise after being out goating. But it’s a good physical strain. you know me, living on theeeeedge.
Also, today I learned that apparently in 48 states (I believe it was) in America you don’t need a license to have a flamethrower. Murica! If you ever get around to banning the semiautomatics maybe the school shooters can take up flamethrowers, have a fkn barbecue.
Sorry, I know that’s dark. But Jesus. America is weird. Meanwhile I’m walking around with a thin wooden knife that couldn’t cut bananas in slices because in Denmark you can’t carry real knives or pepper spray or sht like that. But you CAN see boobs on tv, so you know we’re going to hell in a handbasket.
Alright alright. That’s enough rambling. I’ll stick my head back in the soup pot.

Marked himself safe from watching Maddy get murdered on Twin Peaks.
The murder is still as haunting and terrifying. But the scenes around it, in the Road House, are so beautiful and magical. Julee Cruise’s amazing singing. The giant coming in. It is happening again. The old waiter so sad. I am so sorry. The people in the bar breaking down. It’s so sad and beautiful. I have taked about Badalamenti’s music, but you can’t forget Julee Cruise. What a voice. They’re both gone now. Along with Miguel Ferrer, Catherine Coulson, too many. They sing a pretty song and there’s always music in the air.

The idea of a president having immunity will never make sense to me, no matter what president it is. The more power you have, the more accountable you should be held.
And the more incentive you have to get people to commit vrimes, the less you should be able to pardon people.
The president shouldn’t even have the power to pardon turkeys, because that just perpetuates the system of murdering the poor birds. how about you pardon ALL THE TURKEYS.
But at least it’s a good day for Harvey Weinstein. The American justice system really works. Why just lifetime appointments for scotus, why not for ALL the judges. No accountability, no risk of anything, just accept all the brib I mean gifts your heart desires.
And another thing *sound of someone hitting Lasse with a frying pan to shut him up*

This is going to be another controversial political opinion. I believe that Kristi Noem murdering a dog and a goat is wrong and should count against her if she should end up being Trump’s running mate.
Now, I know pro-life only extends to fetuses, not dogs or goats or children old enough to go to school. So I expect republicans would still vote for her.
The fact that she even feels comfortable writing about it in a book says a lot. She knows it won’t matter. People will be on social media saying stuff like “my dog eats before I do” or “I’d rather spend time with goats than humasn” but they’ll still vote for someone who shoots dogs and goats to death with guns. Just surprised she didn’t kill them with a flamethrower.
Sorry, but it’s either this or another Twin Peaks ramble.
I hate the world, hooray.

Not feeling great today. Tired and queasy. Took an hourful nap, but then the upstairs neighbours starrted doing the elephant tapdance, so I guess that nap is done. I’m gonna cook up some soup and hope it stays in.

Ah. Memory unlocked. I’ve been trying to think of the name of this game for decades it seems. It’s one of my earliest memories, maybe THE earliest, of playing a game on our Commodore 64. The music, the weird writings on the wall in the caverns, carefully steering through the caverns because touching any wall is instant death. Funny, I don’t recall this level structure though, it seems like there’s only one level, but it repeats. I feel like I have memories of a different level.. but it must be this game, because it looks and sounds exactly like what I remember. Killerwatt. I remember it being so frustrating because you had to be so precise to avoid the walls. I think we had a bad joystick, because I remember dying constantly. No, I said a bad joystick. I wasn’t a bad player, it was the joystick. Shut up I’m taking my game home!
Anyway, I think i’m feeling a bit better. Been a runny tummy day. But the soup was good.

I love the little girl getting a goat hug in the beginning of this video. It’s always so sweet seeing kids delighted by the gots, getting these special experiences.
Makes me sad that more and more of these playgrounds with animals are being shut down or having to get rid of the animals. I was talking to Jeanette about it the other day. I forget what the number was,but there are fewer and fewer of these playgrounds left, the budgets are getting tighter and tighter. It’s all about priorities of course, there has to be money for everything. It’s just sad, especially in these ‘troubled’ neighbourhoods it’s so good for kids and young people to have places to go, adults that care and help them, animals and a little bit of nature. I wish they could be prioritized higher. At least our playground is still going. Its’ the third one I’ve been at, I’m not sure I could go on to find another place if this one closed. i’m lucky to have had these places fairly close to me and been able to be a part of them.
