Having some problems with my bathroom light. I managed to fix it enough so i can get a new fluorescent rod thing inserted, but still no light. My dad is trying to help me, as always. I’m worried I’m going to have to have the super or an electrician come look at it, though. There’s no worse horror to me than letting strangers into my place. I wish they could send a goat. Quick, someone train a goat to fix electrical wiring and send him over.

Oh by the way, I can’t remember if I ever shared this. I know some of you have seen it, because you have shared it with me. A certain uncle Treatbag and a certain Mia goat is featured right at the start.

Good goat times today. It started out nice anyway. I brought greens for the goats again and they were very happy with that. And we had sweet visitors who got to pet Mia and they all enjoyed that. One of their adults asked me what goats sound like. Haha. That’s something they usually ask their kids. But this lady said ‘excuse me..” and asked me. So I had to do my best goat bleat, since the goats weren’t talking. Haha.
After an hour or two suddenly.. rain. Thundering down. Hard hard rain. May have been some hail in there too. It came down really hard, can’t remember the last time it rained so hard. So we spent some time in the goat house. And it didn’t stop. So I ended up having to walk home in the rain. Good thing I’d brought my jacket. I didn’t know it was going to rain, I had figured I’d wear my jacket in the morning when it was a bit chilly and then I’d throw it over my shoulder for my walk home when it’d be warmer, like I usually. But nope I really needed it today. Even waring my jacket I still go completely soaked. Oh well. If it had been a little warmer it would have been a lovely walk in the rain. It’s been a dry month of May so I guess it had something to make up for on the last day.

Sky has a private booth so she doesn’t have to contend with the riffraff in the main dining room.

Good news everyone! I managed to get my bathroom light fixed. Oh I am very relieved. I was dreading the idea of having to get a hold of the super and maybe having to pay an electrician and dealing with peoples.
Turns out it wasn’t a new lightning rod I needed. I know, that’s not what it’s called. Fluorescent.. rod? Bulb? Whatever. Anyway, turns out there’s a thing called a starter, I think in English. Behind the rod. I never ever knew that until I googled looking for advice on replace a lightning fluor rod. Shoutout to my dad for not only getting me a new rod but also a new starter. And shoutout to me for, after much fidgeting, managing to change the starter. I also managed to fix the rod socket. When I took the old one out originally I somehow managet to get it jammed around so a new one couldn’t be inserted. But I managed to get that unjammed, get a new starter in and get the new rod in an oh what a relief to see the light flicker on.
It’s not easy fidgeting with that stuff when you are 80% blind and you don’t know what you’re doing.
This is one of those things where 90% of people would think “this is nothing,e easy as pie, not even worth thinking about” but to YOU it’s a big deal. I’m sure we all have those things. Things that feel like a big accomplishment to you even though you know it’s not really a big deal.
Anyway. I’m just glad it’s done and I can stop worrying about it. I have a functioning rod again, you’re welcome both of you.

Not R.E.M.’s most famous song about rain, but I always loved this one. i loved Reveal in general. I kinda admire rem for becoming one of the biggest bands in the world and then going weirder ways instead of chasing the top of the charts. New Adventures in Hi-Fi is probably my favourite of theirs.
Kinda reminds me of the pumpkins following that rat in a cage mega double album with a weird synth goth thing, my favourite Adore.
Anyway. I’ll take the rain, as long as it’s not too cold.
And now I’ll do some nightswimming, I know that’s not about dreaming but I always liked the idea of dreaming being nightswimming…

Editing rain videos. I do love the sound of rain pounding on the goat house roof. A preview for the premium subscribers, including Lasse dialogue, performed by a professional voice actor. Although in this preview I’m using the original temp track by myself.

Good goat times today. A bit cold and grey, some raindrops now and then. But nothing like the flood last time.
I got my exercise today, chasing goats. When I took Sky out of the pen for some of our special time, well I guess I didn’t secure the gate properly because Mia managed to push it open. Zoom, she ran off towards buildings next to the pen. And then stopped and looked around with a look on her face like ‘hmm I’m not sure i’m supposed to be here… and I don’t think there’s any greens here’. So it wasn’t too hard to get her to run back towards the pen. But then she kept on running past it because THAT’S where the greens are, down by the path. Haha. So I let her enjoy her freedom for a couple of minutes while I gave a pear to Sky and got Sky back in the pen. And then I managed to wrestle, metaphorically speaking, Mia back in the pen. Freedom, enjoy it while it lasts!
And I think Nuller broke my rib. Nah, probably not. But I was sitting on the steps of the goat house and leaning back, to stretch out my aching back. And the little turd jumped up on my chest! Well, big turd. Thankfully he jumped right off. And I didn’t feel any cracking of ribs, like the many many times in the past when I have broken or bruised ribs. Haha. So hopefully I’m good. But he’s way too heavy to be standing on my chest. I might be sore tomorrow…
Speaking of my aching back, today I walked the whole walk home from the goats without taking the bus for the first time since.. well sometime last year. I have started doing my back exercises again. I stopped doing them at some point. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence but I feel like my back has been getting better after I started doing the exercises again. Maybe it’s also helped that I’ve lost some weight. In any case, it was nice to be able to walk the whole way and not have to keel over in pain afterwards. So far so good.

I’m getting a very fancy visitor today. The queen of Denmark.
No really.
Well, okay. She’s not coming specifically to visit me. But she is visiting my neighbourhood today. I’d offer her a cup of coffee, but I don’t have coffee. And she’s not getting my pizza.
I live in a pretty famous neighbourhood. Or, rather infamous. One of the most famous in Denmark. Because it’s a ‘ghetto’. It used to be pretty bad, but they have done a lot of things to change it. it’s very different now from what it was when I moved in many years ago. And hey, they might still decide to tear down the apartment block I live in, as part of the changes. Anyway. I hope her majesty has a nice day here. I am not a royalist. I am in fact against the monarchy. Not to be a sourpuss, but it’s an outdated instituton. We’re not some fairy tale kingdom, we’re a modern society. And the idea of families having multiple castles in a country with homeless people, well that just doesn’t fly with me. So I’d prefer to end the monarchy. That’s not going to happen, though. Because our queen Margrethe is amazing. Everyone loves her. And I like her too. She’s great for the arts and humanities and our reputation and all that. By all accounts she’s quite wonderful. That’s just not a reason to keep a monarchy. You should instead think about the opposite. What happens the day we get a queen or king who’s a jackass that everyone hates. Consider the monarchy then. I think a lot of brits are quite unhappy with their lot. Although they just had a jubilee or something.
Anyway. Abolish the monarchy and church, that’s my position. In case you were wondering.
And if the queen knocks on my door, well I guess I can show her some cute goat videos.

Dreant about David Bowie last night. He was in several venues. First he was coming out on some kind of club scene, looking really cool with some band member around him. And then he was standing up on giant outdoors scene and there was a massve crowd all around, must have been a festival or something, and he was screaming out at the crowd YOU’RE ALL SPARKLING.
Pretty neat. I’m still enjoying my Bowie journey a lot. I have been stuck on Station To Station for a long time because I’m loving it so much, especially the live bonus tracks. Good stuff. I wish I had more profesionally recorded Bowie bootlegs, I love listening to his live stuff. I have always loved listening to live music, but my tolerance to crappy audience recordings isn’t as high as it used to be in the old pumpkins days when I’d listen to any low quality recordings I could get my hands on.
Anyway, hope you’re enjoying the weekend. The queen sends her regards.

Good goat times today. A lovely warm day. For the first time this year I picked some greens and brought them to the goat pen. The goats were very happy about that. Yum yum. We had lots of nice visitors too, several groups of kindergarteners who happily petted the goats and plucked grass and flowers to feed to them. Jacob, the playground leader who complimented me not so long ago, came over. Said hi to me too, but he came to talk to the kindergarten group. He told them to let everyone know that the playground was open and they would like for people to come and feed the bunnies and such. And then one of the kindergarten ladies said that she really loves the playground. That was nice to hear. I mean, she wasn’t necessarily talking about the goats. But while the conversation was going on all her kids were screeching with delight and running around feeding goats. So I’d like to think the goats are helping the playground be a happy and popular place. It’s always nice when we can help kids have a good time. that makes us have a good time too.

This is Sassy about 10 minutes after I got there in the morning. She is always the first one to sit down when the sun is shining and it’s warm. I still don’t know for sure if she’s Nuller’s grandma, but she definitely has that grandma energy. The “I’m old and i’m too old for this shhhh and I’ma sit down and unless you got treats I’ma just sit here and not bother”. She has very little patience for giving a fork. It’s funny, because when there are treats she is suddenly the tasmanian devil and caring very much about everything that’s going on. When I try to sneak treats to Sky and Sky complains and runs away because someone else is coming and I turn around, it’s almost always Sassy who’scoming running. And she will run. It’s like she has two speeds. Sitting still and running after treats. If I walk along she’ll just run around after me and I have to be careful not to trip over her. I mean, the others will run after me if I’m giving out treats. But Sassy will run after me if she thinks I MIGHT start giving out treats.
She also has shark jaws. They will all try to get into my pocket and get the treatbag, but Sassy will just clamp her mouth shut on it, like she’s trying to tear my pocket and the bag open. I literally have to push my fingers into her mouth and pry it open, she will just clamp down on it and refuse to let go. Fun fact: I have to replace the treatbag about once a week because SOMEONE tears holes in it.
She’s a funny old gal. I wish she’d be a little easier on Sky, but it’s hard not to be entertained. I love how they all have their little quirks and personalities and traits and voices. People who think animals are just dumb beasts with no inner life, they’re the dumb beasts with no inner life. Am I right? Anyway, sorry I ended up writing so much for a dumb picture!

I dreamt about a conspiracy theory that said that cowboys never actually wore cowboy hats. That the idea of cowboys wearing hats was falsified. And there was an old video where someone had painstackingly gone through every frame and edited out the hats so it looked like it was a video of a bunch of cowboys without hats.
So, analyze THAT.

Here’s big bandit Milo. I found a new thing that he’s scared of yesterday. I brought some gardening gloves because I wanted to pull up some of the stinging nettles that are growing around in the goat pen. The gloves didn’t work perfectly, I got my hands burnt a bit. But when I took off the gloves and kinda shook them in Milo’s direction he started nervously bleating at me. I said ‘you can’t be serious’ and walked towards him with the gloves held out towards him. He bleated louder and quickly backed away. That little scaredygoat.

Really tempted to post the lyrics to Cop Killer with all the cop words changed to kid, but I wouldn’t want to upset anyone so. Just sit back and pray. Let’s get some open carry teachers. Does body armour come in kindergarten sizes? i guess the shooter is dead so we won’t be seeing him in maralago. Let’s get those gas prices down so the killers don’t have to take the bus to school. Make america full of bullet holes again.-
maybe this is even enough to get banned, we’ll see I suppose.

Well it’s noon and I’m done. Going to bed, I’ll probably stay there for a good 20+ hours because I can’t really world today. I queued up some nice posts on Mia’s page, I always try to keep the positive stuff going there. Sometimes it’s not exactly. But I am determined for that to be a place people can go and know they don’t have to deal with anything other than cute goats.
Hope you’re all coping out there. Sorry if I’ve been annoying but you know, you can probably get a kevlar vest to protect you from the words if they’re hurting. I don’t know all the answers, gbut I wish certain segments wouldn’t refuse to hear the questions.
Hang tight, see you on the flipside.

I thought I’d go buy myself more cake to cheer me up. I was half way down the street when I realised today is a holiday in Denmark and the shops are all closed. Welp. No cake for me.
Luckily the pizza place isn’t closed…
Had a long long sleep with a lot of good dreams last day/night. The first dream I had was being stuck in a lockdowned school during a shooting, though. Clearly my subconscious had some stuff to work out. That dream ended kinda sweetly with a little girl, a survivor I guess, planting trees, acorns maybe? Tell us how the trees we planted today would be forests for our future. Something something the children are our future. Plant trees, not guns.
Hope you’re all doing alright out there.

Watched the two first episodes of That’s So Obi-Wan. Some thoughts.
.
.
.spoilerspace.
I loved it! I see quite a lot of divided opinion on the first episodes, but eh that’s Star Wars fandom for ya. I really enjoyed them. There are some issues with canon and storytelling maybe, but I just love my star war. Especially from the this time period. Basically if there are stormtroopers, I love it. Even if they’re just marching around in the background. The empire era is my favourite.
I was surprised at the direction it took, though. I hadn’t even considered that we’d be following Leia haha. I see some heavy criticism of the actress, but I loved her. She was so cute and cool. I said on twitter, I want a Home Alone movie with Leia booby trapping the Alderaan palace to protect it from aqualish burglars, or whatever. I loved her. You all know I’m a Tatooine guy, but I really liked seeing more of Alderaan. And I LOVED seeing Jimmy Smits again as Bail. Wonderful. And seeing Ewan again of course. I wasn’t quite picturing Obi doing labour in the desert but a jedi’s gotta make a living too.
That Third Sister wasn’t messing around. I can’t remember if we’ve seen her before in any of the cartoons or elsewhere, seemed like she had a grudge against Obi.
I loved that creature that Obi was riding. Specifically the way it sat down one pair of legs at a time, that really reminded me of how the goats sit down!
All in all I really enjoyed myself. But I was always going to. I’m easy to please when it comes to Star Wars. I don’t midn fan service. I’m a fan and I like being serviced. And Star Wars has ALWAYS been full of bad storytelling, retcons, fan service, problematic canon and things you need to see ‘from a certain point of view’ to make any kind of sense of. Even before the first movie was released Lucas had ten different versions and couldn’t keep his story straight whether it was going to be one movie or a trilogy or a trilogy of trilogies or whatever. I just sit back and enjoy the ride, get my endorphin rush from the sound of stormtroopers marching and the sight of glowing jawa eyes. Gimme gimme!

One of my favourite things is how Lily and Nuller almost always sit together, that mama and son bond. I am also very fond of how Nuller often kinda rolls around on his side when it’s hot. He looks like he’s practicing to be a fainting goat.
