I think I solved one of the problems that was plaguing my new system. I think I can get back to work editing goat videos now. Hooves crossed.

Good goat times today. A grey day. Light drizzle on my way to the goats, but at least it stayed mostly dry while I was there. Not cold, but not warm either. A far cry from last year’s scorching summer. This is more usual for Denmark. Struggling to get to the 20C/70F that I call summer. Hopefully we’ll get some warm spells in July and August.
But the goats enjoyed the greens. We took a tour around the place. Entertaining the kindergarteners at the fence. And several visitors along the way. Nuller got approving laughs as he displayed his back-balancing skills. He’s still eager to do it and light enough to pull it off. And on a jacket-day it’s a lot easier on my back. Milo, on the other hand, seems to be self-aware enough to realie he’s probably too heavy to do it now. I was sitting under a tree and leaned over to give him the chance to jump up and reach some branches, but he didn’t grab the chance. What is he, a good year and a half older than Nuller? Considerably heavier, though I’m sure he could still put it off. He’s lighter than Mia was the last time she did it..

Unlike Milo, Mia DID accept some help to reach the branches. Luckily she didn’t get all the way up on my back. Even just leaning on me with two paws on my shoulders kinda hurt.

Thanks, Mia. It’s easier on my back when you can reach for yourself.

That’s it for me for today. I am going to go digging for dinosaur bones in the rich soil of my dreams. If you see rings in your glass of water, don’t worry. It’s not a T Rex. It’s just that my diet has been spectacularly unsuccesful so far.

Currently reading Craig Ferguson’s new book, Riding The Elephant. Can confirm I still love that guy. Funny, smart and Scottish. Just like me. Okay, I’m not that funny. Or smart. But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I’m not Scottish.

Good goat times today. It was thundering and raining last night. But luckily it had passed by the time I got out. So instead I got a quite lovely, sunny day. I t hink we got to the magic 20/70 degrees. The ground was wet in places, but we can live with that. Took the goaties out on a tour of the greens. Stopping by the kindergarten fence to entertain. And there were kindergarteners on our side of the fence too, so they got some upclose time with the goats.
I got some upclose time with Mia later on. We were sitting on the bench, and she was alternating between chewing her cud and snoring in the sun. Then suddenly she startled up from her sitting position and sneezed me in the face. Thanks, Mia. Maybe I need windshield wipers on my glasses. Haha. But I do so enjoy when I sit down on the bench and she jumps up on it and sits next to me. Perfect way to daze in the sun.

Do you ever feel like this world isn’t for you and you don’t belong in it and you can’t handle it?
Just wondering.
When I was a kid I at one point had the ambition to write a great literary classic. Something like… Robinson Crusoe or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or Frankenstein or you know, something that becomes cultural archetype.
Somehow it didn’t pan out. But at least a few people around the world will remember some goats because of me.
I had a Twin Peaks dream, in which I couldn’t open a door, it was like there was a black hole on the other side
, or sideways gravity pulling it closed when I tried to open it. Eventually when I got it open someone had scribbled creepy stuff about my sister on it. Or, not scribbled. Carved. Oh,. I don’t have a sister by the way.
I wonder what the world would be like without religion. Would people be complete assholes because they lack moral guidance? Or wait, that’s what it’s like now. Well, I’m sure they’d come up with something else to control the peasants. Pay us a penance dollar to absolve your sins. Or buy this drug to protect against radiation because science.
Vice President Nicholas Sparks, calling it now.
Do you think vikings secretly just went out to strip bars and football games when they said they went raiding? Did Elmer Fudd ever settle down and get a family? Is there a Fudd clan somewhere? Is that the origin of the Foot Clan? Do you think world peace or nah?
pkkay, think it time for bed. Engage sideways gravity, full speed ahoot

Had some good dreams last night. I’ve been sad for a while because I felt like I lost my ability to lucid dream. It’s been months since I did it, at least since I remember doing it. So it was nice to have a couple again. Nothing spectacular, but there’s just a great magic in being aware you’re dreaming. Knowing that even though everything seems completely real, you are in a fabricated space. You are in a creation of your mind. I love that so much. I was in my parents’ old bedroom, on their big bed. With our old phone. There was a woman on the line, she didn’t call me, she was just there when I picked up the phone to make a call. She was saying creepy stuff, but I was just laughing because I knew it was a dream and not real.
Later on I was dancing around singing “this is a dream, this is a dream” to everyone. It’s funny how in lucid dreams, at least in my experience, people don’t react. They don’t object and say “no I’m a real person!” or anything. They just ignore it. I think we were in a library. I picked up a book and held it out and said I was going to transform it into something else. But then I woke up. When I say lucid dream, I mean semi-lucid. I don’t think I’ve ever had full control and the power to change the shape of the dream or things in it. I’m just aware. I think by trying to change the book into soemthing else I overloaded the dreamcircuitry and popped the dreambubble. I don’t have the power for that sort of thing… not yet anyway.
I fell back to sleep and had more good dreaming. I think we were in our old ‘formning’ class room. What’s that called in English? Arts & Crafts? It was down in the basement, away from all our usual class rooms. With arts supplies. In this dream I realised that I could see with both eyes. My vision problems usually don’t enter into my dreams too much. But here I realisd that I was supposed to be blind on one eye. So I was thrilled that I could actually see with both. I put a hand over my normal seeing eye and marvelled that I could still see with the blind one. Except, I’m pretty sure they were swapped in the dream. So I was actually covering the eye that is blind in reality. Hmm. Well anyway. I was just glad to be able to gain awareness in the dreams. It’s more interesting than reality.

Time to relax. Here’s big baby Nuller in front of Lily mama. Oh I forgot to mention, last time I was there Nuller went to the milk bar again! Sheesh. I’m not sure he got much, but I guess he’s not done trying. He is a demanding litlte big boy.
But now, I’m going to shut down the devices for today. See you tomorrow, or sooner if you can dream it.

I did not achieve lucidity in my dreams last night. But I did have some cool dreams. Keiko was in one of them, but I don’t really remember what was going on there. I also dreamt that I was traveling across America in frontier times. With 3 goats. I am pretty sure that Yogi was one of them, but it’s all pretty hazy. And we invented basketball. We had a (modern car) tyre that we hung up in a rope and we thrw a ball through it. And then someone suggested tilting the tyre so you had to sort of lob the ball through it instead of just throwing it through it. And such was invented basketball, TRUE FACT. Do not listen to your history teachers, kids. They don’t know nothing.
Also, I am not very good at geography, but in my dream we realised that we were in Maine, and that Maine was the biggest part of America (like 75% of the continent) and that it was in the middle of the country and that’s why it was the… MAIN part of America. Apparnetly my dreams like dumb puns.

Good goat times today. A lovely, summerly day. It got up past 20C/70F. That’s what I consider summer. Very nice. Unfortunately we didn’t get much time in the green. I’d justlet the goats out when Alice came over. There was a big gathering of kindergarten visitors, they were doing some big happening. And Alice felt it would be better if the goats stayed in the pen. Too bad. It would have been a lovely day to sit and watch the goats graze. Instead it was a lovely day to sit and watch the goats be lazy in the pen. I did go and pluck some branches with fresh leaves so they could have some green. There’s green in the pen too of course, but they never eat a lot of that. The grass is greener on the other side I spose. We had several visitors at the fence too. Big and small. So the goats got to entertain and they graciously allowed the kids to bring them more fresh leave. Always eager to help the kids have a good time..
And then just as I started walking home the clouds rolled in and it even started raining a little. Refreshing on a warm day really.
Good to get my head away from the computer. I kind of feel like I have ran my head into a brick wall, all the little issues that needs taking care of and things that need syncing and backlogs of editing and tv and yuotube piling up. I miss Windows 7. But hey ho, oinkwards and upwards.

There was a bit of confusion today as I brought the goats right back in after letting them out. Milo and Sky went to the rocks and were like “we’re waaaaiting”. There was a considerable amount of protesting bleating. I could have sworn I took a picture of Mia standing there in front of the rocks staring at me. But I can’t find it in the folder. She stood there for ages just looking at me like “I .. I don’t know what’s going on. Why are you heading back to the goat house? This is not normal, I don’t know what to do now”. Maybe Mia thrives on routine as I do.

Good goat times today. Hot hot hot. Above 25C/77F. That’s not something we get every day here. Although last summer we kinda did. But might have been the first time this year. For the first time I felt I had to bring a bottle of iced drink. Came in handy for the walk home.
The goats were panting and shaking in the heat too. When I went to refill their water bucket, Mia, Milo and Sky dived right in. To drink, I mean. There’s no diving board on the bucket. They needed the water.
We had good times out in the greens. Spent most of the time walking along the goat and horse pens, on the isde down to the path. We haven’t been there much, so there was good greens. And people walking by on the path enjoyed the sight. One guy came up to us and said “it’s like being out in the country! They’re so cute” and then as he left “Have a great day!”. There was an older many who came over to us too. We had some problems communicating. He was speaking sort of half Danish and half Englsih, but neither was very good and he made noises that didn’t even seem like words, not in another language either. He wa gesturing and I was having a hard time understanding him. It kinda triggered my phobias. Communicating with humans is hard enough when you understand them, when you don’t even understand them it gets even more awkward. But he did seem very nice, kind of old and a little frail. He sat down with me and watched the goats for a while, and petted them when they came close. Even if we don’t speak the same language, we can all appreciate the language of watching goats.
Several kids got some facetime with the goats too. There was one young mother who was wearing a long skirt and Milo kept trying to eat it. She’d laugh and move away but he’d just follow her and keep trying. Yeah, I think we have a bit of a skirt-chaser on our hands..
I think it rained last night. It was quite humid and hot in the morning. And the grass was a bit wet. Which meant I got some nice wet hoofprints on my neck as Nuller kept jumping on me. It’s like a struggle trying to keep him off, he’s SO determined. Unstoppable little fella. So cute and cuddly.

Hey, in case I haven’t told you lately, I appreciate you being part of my social circle, in whatever way you are. I don’t have much of a social circle outside the computer (of humans, I mean). So it matters a lot to me to have people on the interwebs who care about me and what I do. Thank you.
Also can I borrow $500 ?
Just kidding. I need more like a grand.
No no. All I need is your unquestioning devotion and a sample of your dna plus your fingerprints.
No really, I love you. That’s why I’m going to display you all in glass cabinets.
