Looking for meaning, patterns in the randomness. A branch above the river.
I had some crazy, eerie dreams last night. Occultish. Giant birds. I had a gun, but it didn’t fire real bullets. It was like one of those popping guns you have as a kid on new year’s eve.. they make a little pop but nothing else. Not much against a bird as big as a house.
Riding a bike through a field of clucking chickens. Over the cliffside.
Chasing two pairs of men with kids. One pair in each direction. They had guns but I’m not sure if the kids were holding the men hostage or vice versa. I caught up to one of the pairs and reality turned into a cartoon, the man’s face was elongated and stretching.
It felt like David Lynch was directing.

Good goat times today. A cold morning. Down near zero. So I brought out my heavy coat for the first time. It was a beautiful, sunny day. If it wasn’t for the cold and mud, it would have been perfect. But it’s always good with goats.
Not a lot of green left now. We went out scavenging for a while, down by the path. Lots of people happily surprised to see goats out. People walking along that path aren’t necessarily coming to visit the playground, so they don’t always realie there’s a chance of wild goats on the loose. Always nice to see faces light up when they meet the goats. I assume, I mean I’m blind. But I can hear the oohs and aahs.
Then back to the pen for sweetness. I sat down with Sky in my lap. She’s so sweet when she relaxes. She makes cute little sounds that almost sounds like she’s doing hard labour or something. When I first heard it, when she was a kid, I wondered if something was wrong with her. But no, it’s just her version of the litlte snoring sounds some of hte others make. And very cute. As I sat with her, Mia jumped up on the bench to join us. And then she wedged her head in between Sky and my body. Like she was saying “I totally fit in your lap too!”. Well, her head does. It was really sweet sitting there with the two of them so close. And Milo was standing on the platform looking at us like he was trying to figure a way to squueze in there too. Sweeties.
Later on I sat with just Mia. Sitting next to me with her head leaning up on me. Doing that thing animals, and humankids I think, do when their heads start drooping down as the almost nod off, and then they catch themselves and lift their head. And then it slowly starts dropping again.. so darn cute. and I’m pretty sure she did finally doze off, when I took her head in my arms and held her like that. Until one of the horses started galloping in the field next door and Mia startled and got up and looked around like “what what I’m awake, what’s going on?”. I love sitting on that bench with her. Although now it will be 5ish months until I can sit there without cooling down to the bone. Sigh.

I met David Lynch!
… in a dream.
But you know he’s into that stuff, so I’m sure it was actually him and we met in one of the lodges. I managed to convince him that he needed to make a season 4 of Twin Peaks. I consider this to be a legally binding contarct. So, season 4 of Twin Peaks confirmed!
Dreaming was really good last night, had a bunch of other good ones. Faded too much now to make detailed descriptions. But there was a Lost dream, I always love those. There was a funny Married With Children one, funny because in the dream there was something really heartbreaking but it was mwc so I don’t even know you know. And there was one where I was gathering candy for new year’s eve. The snow was falling outside and I was watching it through giant windows, and the house on the other side of the street was just a giant rectangular block. I think that’s because I’ve been watching minecraft videos..

I never Share political fb posts, because it’s bad enough when I ramble about it myself, I don’t need to bore you with other people’s words about something you either already agree with or won’t listen to anyway. But yeah, this.
I understand why some might have to vote for Trump because you’re in an idiotic, broken two-party, non-democratic system, but if you actually think Trump is a good person, a smart person, an honest person, a religious person, a faithful person, a person who isn’t obese, a person who writes his own books, a person who doesn’t harrass women, a person who isn’t racist, a person who understands politics etc etc etc jesus fucking christ you’re gullible.
You gotta vote for him because abortion guns jesus, fine. But don’t fucking kid yourself. You’re doing damage to the world to further your political agenda.
Hey, did you see the new Keystone Pipeline leak? Who could have predicted that. I hope you enjoy your guns while the environment goes to hell. And if you love dogs, I hope you appreciate how he sees ‘dog’ as an insult about cowardice. Fuck dogs, fuck bears, fuck elephants, fuck bees etc.
And so on and so fort. Just had to get that off my fat chest.

Good goat times today. Cold morning, but not so cold that I couldn’t survive in my t-shirt and light jacket. Thankful for that. And it stayed dry (until it was time for me to walk home, funny how it often seems to work out like that…). It is still mud season though. Must have rained last night. Mud mud mud. Goats reluctant to get to the fence even for treats.
I did some work today to help the problem. Putting pavement tiles and wooden planks down to make walkways. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best I can do with what I have. I’ll get some pics up later.
We hadkids visiting in the morning. There was a lot of bleating going on. By the human kids, not least. Haha. They asked questions and bleated with the goats. At one point the adult who was with them said “now I think we should just listen to the goats” to which a little boy shouted “NO” and then a little girl beated loudly and Nuller and Lily bleated back. I might need to start wearing earplugs.
We had a good walk around later, met some nice people. Another woman remarked about watching out for ‘the one with number 18″. Number of the beast. Milo did have a a couple of close calls with kids too, but no one got hurt. Phew!
Not much green left now. The goats had to walk around and pick brown, fallen leaves for a bit. Probably no good nutrition in those, but hey at least I get them out of the pen and give them something to do. Out of the mud and into the flying prance.
21/10 2019

Here is one of the new arrangements. I put down some pavement right up to the fence, so the goats can get all the way up to it. For the benefit of human visitors that want to pet them. And me. It has happened often when I arrive in the morning and the mud is bad there will be goats on the rocks and I’ll be reaching over the fence to give a treat but I can’t reach far enough and they don’t want to get off the rocks because of the mud. Now they can get close to the fence, so that’s something.

Here’s the walkway I made from the goathouse. It’s not great, but it’s something. The newbies quickly got the idea. Tiptoeing across it to get to the treatbag.
Mia? Not so much. I stood for like 10 minutes trying to coax her to get down from the tower-platform and walk across it. She was not interested, not even a little. It’s funny how she’s very eager to get treats… but she’s also keenly avare of when I’m trying to lure her with treats. It’s the same thing when I’m trying to get her to come back in through the gate after we’ve been out in the greens. She knows that if she goes for the treats I’ll be closing the gate behind her.
Anyway, she did eventually walk across the planks. Once. I’m sure she’ll get the hang of it. Better than stepping through the mud. it’s pretty bad right in front of the goat house.

21/10 2019

Here’s another walkway. This one is even worse. But again, it’s something. Mia especially has been reluctant to leave the platforms there. Maybe this will help.
Q: Did Nuller and Milo end up butting heads on that plank?
A: Yes. Yes, they did.

If there is one album that defined my musical life, it’s probably Mellon Collie. Adore is my favourite. But mcis rocketed me into a life of pumpkiness. When I got my cd player I went looking for that song I had heard on the radio. Disarm. Turns out I couldn’t find the cd with that song, but they had mellon collie,. so I got that. A double album full of crazy wonder, the pumpkins went from that band that had those songs I probably liked, to the band that shaped my life. When music became something that mattered to me, it was very much the smashing pumpkins. Pink ribbon scare that never forget, yall.

Oh by the way, for those of you who don’t know why my facebook username is ‘djaliplume’, it’s because of the Smashing Pumpkins.
Back in the dawn of time, before social media and triggered snowflakes, I had to sign up for a thing called diaryland. Which is exactly what it sounds like, a land full of diaries. In which people wrote real things instead of retweeting cat photos and antagonizing nazis. Anyway. As was the custom of the time, I wanted a songname for my username. And since I liked the Smashing Pumpkins, I thought I’d go for the name ‘Obscured’ which was a song of their and also sounded kinda cool for a name of a diary by someone you don’t know and who is, in fact, obscured, over the dsl lines. Unfortunately that name was already taken. So I went for ‘Plume’ instead. Which is also a song. And hey, you can write with a plume and stuff. So that became my name. And for many, many years I was just Plume. That was my name. There are still some people from back in the day whomst might refer to me just as Plume. It was only really with the advent of Facebook and it’s unjust requirement of real identity that I started becoming Lasse, instead of Plume. Today I am more Lasse than Plume, but I am still Plume. I am Lasseplume.
Oh, and djaliplume is because plume is a very commonly used username and so whnever I go to sign up for something, invariably Plume is already taken. The ‘djali’ part does not mean DJ Ali. It refer to another Billy Corgan band, Zwan. The band he formed after the breakup of the Smashing Pumpkins. They kinda had different iterations, and the acoustic, and arguably best, version was called the djali zwan. So I took the djali to put on plume to make a username.
That concludes today’s storytime. I hope you paid attention, there WILL be a test.

Good goat times today. Skipping through mud and browsing brown leaves on the ground. A few sweet visitors, and no Milo maulings. Spent a good long time sitting on the bench with Mia. She sat down next to me. Nestled her head between my arm and chest. I could feel her chewing her cud. And then she stopped. I don’t know if she dozed off and took a nap, or if she was just relaxing. But it was perfect calm sitting there like that with her.

Wonder if he’s going to mention the new mass shooting in Texas, or nah?
It’s nice when you can kill terrorists in Syria to distract from the domestic terrorism that you don’t want to deal with.
But hey. Snuffing Baghdadi definitley means you’re not an unhinged racist bigot corrupt misogynist, right?
