Good goat times today. Twas a grey day, but the goats were still in fine form. Nuller put on a good show gor some little visitors. Standing on my shoulders to eat the leaves above. And they did some fine running at the sandpit. Mia and Sassy clacked horns and then Mia jumped around with some of the best pronks in a long time. She had me laughing more than usual. Back in the pen Nuller was butting heads with both Milo and Sky. Until Mia came in and broke it up. He’s got respect for Mia. And Sky was scratching herself again. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it before, but I found out that it’s one of the old christmas trees that she likes to rub against. Hard, jagged little branches and the tip, she can stand around for ages just rubbing her chest against it. Little tongue poking out. So cute.

I looked up ‘soda fountain’ on the youtubes yesterday. I’ve been hearing that term in American books. And I always had this mental image of a beautiful fountain spewing soda. But I knew rationally that it couldn’t be like that. So I had to look it up. And I mean, the real thing is neat enough. But I prefer my magic soda fountain that blasts cola and 7up and sprite and fanta everywhere and you just go over with a cup and stick it in the fountain to fill it. If you vote for my as ruler of the universe I promise to manufacture actual soda fountains everywhere.

It’s kinda crazy that I can load this thing up on the youtube and I can singalong word for word. I kinda miss sitting in front of MTV, waiting for the songs I wanted to hear. Do kids today even realise the M is for music?

As nice as it would be to see the complete meltdown of a Trump impeached, at this point I’d just really to see him get his ass handed to him in the election next year. We all know he’s a crook, we all know 30-40-50 percent of America doesn’t care. We all know it doesn’t matter, just like we know it doesn’t matter what Bill Clinton did or did not do. All that matters is who has gerrymandered the best.

My pizza place gave me a 15%-off-your-next-order voucher because I’m such a loyal customer.
At first I thought it was a voucher for their personal website to get me to use that. I always order junk food from this service called ‘just-eat’ where the various places are members. That place takes a cut, so sometimes the places will slip you some advertisement possibly with a discount to get you to go their site so they don’t have to give a cut to just-eat.
But no, it was a voucher for my next order on just-eat. So that was nice. Of course 15% off one order is a drop in the bucket for an addict as myself. But I’ll take it.

Good goat times today. A grey morning with light rain. It was mostly gone when I got to the goats, but they were still pretty reluctant to come out. Might have to start bringing a hairdryer so I can dry every blade of grass for them.
I did get them out and then thankfully the sun came out. For a while it was really hot actually, I guess it was the humidity that made it feel so hot. Wet hooves but otherwise quite lovely. And we met some nice people. A couple of old grandparents with a little kid. The kid got to pet the goats and I talked a little to the grandparents. When I told them that when I’m not there the goats have to stay in their pen, the grandma said with a big smile “How lucky that they were out for grandparent’s day!”. Always nice when you can help people have some nice experiences with the goats.
I managed to fall when I was stretching before leaving. My foot slipped in the mud and I fell down. I managed to break my fall with my hands, so no broken ribs at least. But I did plant my hands right in some brændenælder. Nettles? Not too bad, but I do feel the sting. Oh well.
And then as I walked home, the rain came back. Much stronger this time. But it was warm enough by then to not be so unpleasant. So I kept my jacket slung over my back and felt the rain on my bare arms. Got a bit soaked, but at least the people in the supermarket got a nice Wet T-shirt show.

Not so great. Still struggling. I’m trying to just ignore and it go about things as usual. Goatposting, joking around with you all. I am thankful to know such good people. I know I’m not the best at faceboxfriending, but thank you for being there for/with me.
Trying to put on a happy face, while feeling rotten to the core. It’s a weird thing sometimes. I do feel a little like the hole has gotten too deep to get out of. But I’m trying to think about and express the positive things, instead of the dark things.
I’m just tired and wish everything was over.
But it’s not, so keep dragging those zombie feets across the wasteland.

This is actually quite interesting. I love Potholer’s channel, he does a lot of good ridiculing and debunking of people who don’t believe in climate change. But this is quite fascinating. When I was a kid I used to get lost in my imagination, thinking about the ancient Earth past. Ice ages and super continents. Simple life evolving in giant oceans. I remember reading some pulpy book where a time traveller stepped on a mosquito and when he came back to the present everything was changed. I think it was actually a Chose Your Own Adventure type book where you had to try not to … destroy all life. Can you imagine being there, Earth without human. What if you could scroll through Earth’s history like you scroll through a youtube video timeline. And to think this giant complex machine that has ended up here twith us today. Was it inevitable or was it unfathomably unlikely? Has it only happened here or is it happening elsewhere as we speak? What an amazing thing the universe is. And we’re just tiny blips on the timeline, ants in the cosmos, nothing in the greater picture. What an amazing evolution. Or you know, maybe it was done in 7 days by a sky wizard. Who knows.

Good goat times today. It was a cold and rainy morning. Not so nice. But about halfway to the goats, the rain stopped more or less. And by the time I took the goats out we actually had sunshine. For about an hour and a half. Then the rain started falling again. So we stampeded home to spend time in the goat house instead. Rain and sun on and off. I miss summer already. But it was good to be back with the goats. The only place where everything feels okay. Spent some time sitting with Nuller in my lap while he chewed his cud. That was really nice. It doesn’t happen too often. He’s a firecracker, he doesn’t usually like just sitting still in my lap. He’d rather jump on my back. He did that today too of course. One time, I think it was Mia who chased him away. And I sat in the the doorway of the goat house and blocked his way. So he ran from Mia, jumped up on my back and then jumped off to the safety outside. He’s always a ton of fun.

Here’s Sassy and Lily relaxing out of the rain. See how Sassy is sitting there and the stall door is open? It’s a funny thing. There are two stalls in the goat house, but Mia, Milo and Sky still sleep in the big barn. So there’s no reason to actually have the stall doors in the goat house closed. Often wehen I arrive in the morning I find the right stall door half open like that, and I always used to think “Why are the staff doing that, the space is much more efficient if the door is open all the way, so it’s up against the wall”. I suck at explaining things, but you understand? If the door is half open like this then it takes up more space. If it’s open all the way then it’s up againt the wall so it’s like there’s just a hole in the wall instead of a door. Anyway, whether you get what I’m saying or not.. .the point is I always thought it was the human staff that left the door half open.. but today I realized what actually happened. The door was completely opened, so it was up against the wall. And Sassy went into the tiny gap.. and with her head she slowly pushed the door to the position you see in the photo. So she could sit in there in there in the corner.
Haha. I am sorry that I explain it so poorly. But it was just really funny when I saw the door slowly opening and realized Sassy was in the gap there and with gentle headbutts pushing the door open. I’m going to stop writing now. I think I got some of it on video, so at some point you might be able to see it on Mia’s page.

Summer is over. It’s getting dark earlier and earlier. Even when the sun is out, it’s not as warm. I can’t sleep without my blanket. It’s like I can physically feel the warmth and colour being drained out of the world. I wish I could live in July. Maybe just a snowy December, then July for the rest of the year.

Good goat times today. A lovely, sunny day. Cold in the morning, but as the sun shone on it got quite nice. If not quite summery, then at least a lovely, warm autumn day.
‘Had to stop off at my parents first to do some tech aupport. They got a new printer and I had to fix it because it wasn’t working. Turns out I just had to select the proper printer on the dropdown menu and it worked.
I almost feel bad for billing them $100 for that, but tech support ain’f free.
Just kidding, of course.
Then off to goats and out to he greens. We had several visitors. Little kids. No casualties. Mile stayed vegetarian for the day. One guy with some kids came over and asked if he could ask me a question. Sure, I said. “What is goat poop called?” he asked. Um. I’m so used to calling it goat berries that I very nearly said “gedebær”. In the end I realised, I don’t really know what it’s called. Other than poop. Maybe I should look that up.
We were out by the horse fence again, so to stop the goats from going through the gap and Sassy getting stuck again, I found a pavement slate and propped it up against the gap in the fence. Nuller proceeded to immediately jump over it and through the gap. Sheesh. I thought I’d secured it, but that’s goats for ya. I had to remove the slate to get him back out. Oy.

I have started reading Alien 3, the William Gibson version. Fascinating. I remember reading about his Alien 3 script back in the day, when I first got the internets. Kids today can’t even imagine. Today even the toaster is online. Imagine going from there not being internet to there being internet. Especially for someone like me. By the time I got online, I was pretty isolated in my actual life. And suddenly instead of a claustrophobic little room, there was a big world at my fingertips. People and places to see. And usenet. It barely exists now I guess. But back then there were so many usegroups dedicated to so many topics. That was one of the first things I did, I think. After looking up boobies. Reading all the discussions and information about things I loved. Lost Alien movie scripts. I have vague memories of one Alien 4 script set on a world where everything was wood. And Star Wars. Kids today don’t even know, but there was a time when Star Wars was just 3 movies. And fans could spend ages just theorizing and speculating. The music groups, especially alt.music.smash-pumpkins. Connecting with other fans of the band. And the Ultima game series. Before Ultima 9. All the deep lore and references of the games. And then getting your own online journal on diaryland. Deeper connections with real people, several of whomst I still count among my best friends. There was something magical about those early days of online. Deep dives into subjects you were passionate about and connections with people who shared the passion. It’s not the same these days. Get off my lawn, kids.
Anyway yeah. Audible has made an audio adaptation of the comic book of the William Gibson Alien 3 script. And that just triggered a lot of memories about reading about that script and other such things. I guess information being scarce makes it more interesting. Instead of being bombarded with loud people on youtube trying to explain everything to you

Oh geez, I went on a big ramble about the early internet days and I forgot the whole reason why I wanted to mention that I’m listening to Alien 3 William Gibson edition.
It’s because they got Lance Henriksen to voice Bishop! In the William Gibson version of Alien 3 they don’t kill off Newt, Hicks and Bishop. I love getting to hear Lance Henriksen. Here are two facts about Lance Henriksen:
1) His last name is the same as my last name and his first name is almost the same as my first name.
2) He’s fucking awesome
So. That’s what’s up.
