Good goat times today. Dark mornings. For once I’m actually looking forward to the daylight savings switch. It’s a new thing that I’m heading out to the goats this early. But I like getting them out bright and early to get them some extra time outside. Just need it to be a little lighter.
Got them out for some good times. Several visitors with kids coming up to us and asking questions and petting the goats. One little girl was very fascinated with Mio’s backside. To the extent that she squatted down and, I don’t know, tried looking up her butt?! Haha. Humans have such poor manners. Grandma took it all in stride.
She also strode right back up to the residential forbidden zone. I saw her walking towards the corner around which was the slope up through the trees to that place. I watched her walk slowly in that direction and wondered to myself if that was where she was heading. And it was. Goats don’t forget, when it comes t food. I felt bad for them all because there’s so little green left, so I let them spend 10 minutes or so up there,, muncning on the hedges. Then I dragged grandma down. Once again she was not pleased with me. But she didn’t hold a grudge long this time. Maybe because she was busy trying to find another way up there. Which she did soon after, through some denser trees. Sheesh. She had her mind set on that place. There was a woman coming out of the apartment block, but she didn’t seem to take any notice of the goats. I still don’t feel quite comfortable letting them be up there. Too far from home. But we survived. And found a good place on the playground grounds where there was still some good greens left after all, so the goaties got a good bellyful. But it won’t be long until all the greens are all gone.
Might not be long before I have to start wearing my bulky winter coat too. Could have used my gloves today. Quite cold. But it was better when we got back to the pen and I could sit in the sunray in the goat house, next to Mio. That is a good and warm spot.

Tsk, tsk. Grandma in the forbidden zone.

New hat, who dis?
I felt like a change to go with the new shirts, so I got me a new coconut cover. Not sure having a black cap works. Not sure about the symbol either. Honest opinions welcomed. Is it good/bad/whatev ? I may buy something else or go back to the old one.

I’m not saying that I have on occasion made mashed potato from powder and eaten it straight out of the pot without even putting it on a plate.
But look at that squirrel *runs away*

Okay, whoever wins that mega lottery jackpot thing is going to be responsible for America’s healthcare for the next few years. Line up the gofundmes. What better way to have universal healthcare? Just make sure all the lottery winners are people with hearts. Or, forcefully transplant hearts into them if they don’t. Or, I don’t know where I’m going with this.

Not sure the new hat is a good fit, but we’ll see how it goes.

“Under a proposal first reported by the New York Times on Sunday, the Trump administration would narrow the definition of gender to male or female at birth and it would be unchangeable later in life.”
I have a theory why they would do that. I mean, other then the inherent bigotry of the Trump administration.
Get this passed. And then a little later on you come up with some reason why women shouldn’t be able to vote. Too hysterical, too emotional, pms, they’re scary we don’t understand them they report us when we rape them etc. And with the transgender ‘thing’ outlawed you won’t have any women ‘pretending’ to be men in order to vote. Now, the Republican party has already gone a long way to keep persons of colour from voting, what with the insane suppression and all. So, now all that’s left is finding a reason why gay people shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Maybe something about homosexuality being a mental illness or something like that. Then we’d have the Republican wet dream of only straight, white males being allowed to vote.
I mean, I’m satirizing but does anyone really doubt that the current Republican leaders would fucking love if only straight, white males were allowed to vote? It’s already clear that they can’t win in a fair democracy. They need electoral colleges and voter suppression and extreme gerrymandering to have a chance. It’s clear they think it’s a mistake that the ‘blacks and women’ have the vote.
Hitler couldn’t happen again, they say while preparing to make legislation against transgender people and cheating minorities of their power to vote.
I’m not saying they want another great World War, but everything else is pretty fucking Hitlerific.
So anyway, I’ve been awake for a few hours that’s already too much time in the real world.

Don’t say I don’t contribute anything valuable to society, without me there would be 37% less goat posts on social media according to a recent study that I just paid someone to make up.

Here’s a little preview of a video that’ll be up on Mia’s page eventually. She got a bit goofy.

Sheesh. Had to update my antivirus program. I’d been running the 2014 edition of it. Which was fine, I was keeping the virus definitions up to date. But it wouldn’t update the definitions anymore so I had to install the 2019 edition. And as expected, everything gets worse. All sites and programs and operating systems. Everything gets worse and worse, and harder to use especially for visually impaired me. Lasse’s Law. Everything gets worse, the end.
If it wasn’t because I want a firewall I’d uninstall the whole dang thing.

Not feeling so good. Just had to throw up. Not sure if something I ate or something I thought. Anyway, good excuse to just go to bed. Hope I’ll be ablr to get up tomorrow. If not, send goats.

Sorry if I’m a little absent. Feeling sad and frustrated. I think I broke my brain yesterday. It’s okay, I put a band-aid on it.
Getting a little worried about how good it feels to spend 20+ hours in bed. Warm wellness dreams. Not very productive.

Good goat times today. A Dark and rainy morning. Not much walking along the highway on a morning like that. But you gotta do what you gotta do. And I needed the goat time. Had to lure them out with the feed bucket. From the stables through mud and rain to the safety of the goat house. And that’s where we spent most of the time. Just chilling and relaxing. Eating hay, the goats mostly. They don’t like it when I eat their food. Dropping goat berries and cuddling, luckily not at the same time. Oh, Sky got the coughies and let out a couple of coughs and raised her tail and farted along with the coughs. Oh my. Sorry to sound weird, but I think those were the cutest farts I’ve ever heard. Like a lil trumpet.
I am super super tired now.

You have to admit, it’s pretty impressive that google was able to simplify the Voight-Kampff machine into a single checkbox.
Either that or google is run by replicants and checking the “I’m a human” checkbox does NOTHING . THINKG ABOUT IT SHEEPLE ITS ALL A CONSPIRA
27/10 2018

Is it safe to come out?

27/10 2018

.
Heading off to the bed place. Probably going to be a long one. I’m feeling better in general. But still. A sense of hopelessness. I just want to sleep. But I guess it’s better that the pot is simmering instead of boiling over. Anyone wanna borrow my Big Book Of Metaphors while I’m out?

Today will be a good day. Happy Funday everyone.

Turned on the news and kinda wish I’d just stayed in bed. Even vividly feeling being stabbed with a kitchen knife beats reality. I still don’t really want to be a part of this world.

I hate the thought that I might be bringing people down with my posts. But I mean, you might have noticed I’m a bit of a mess lately. Not expressing my feelings wouldn’t help that. I try to keep the politics off Facebook, but I just have to vent sometimes. And mass shootings, well you can’t close your eyes to that shit.
I hope the goat posts make up for some of the downers.
And anyway, not long now until the dems win a 100% majority in the midterms and everything will be good lalalalallala I can’t hear you lalalalala

United Nations’ scientific panel says climate change could have catastrophic conseques as early as 2040.
Donald Trump says “I think something’s happening. Something’s changing – and it’ll change back again. I don’t think it’s a hoax, I think there’s probably a difference. But I don’t know that it’s man-made.”
So. I guess if we’re alive in 2040 we’ll know if the planet is fucked or if Trump is smart.
Climate change will probably change back again… jesus fucking christ.
I hope our grandchildren will enjoy petting the animatronic animals in the remembrance zoos.

Good goat times today. Lovely weather. Almost summery with the sun. But the greens are almost gone. Took the goats out, but there wasn’t a lot to get. Nibbling here and there. I’m going to miss watching them attack the salad bar. I need it to be spring soon.
Spent more time in the pen. Eating hay (the goats) and cuddling (all of us). Pretty quiet day. Other than the constant pickpocketing. Sheesh.

I didn’t even realise it was a year ago Yogi left us. I hope she’s up there, relaxing with Kamel. Two gentle, food-loving ladies. Purring in the sun. Watching the mini-Yogis that hatched from her rocks. Thank you for making our transition to the new playground a happier one. I wish we’d had more time.

When you want to argue with someone for their own good, but you know it’ll only make things worse.
In other news, a little known fact about me: As a kid I had a crush on BOTH Darlene and Becky. And today I have a crush on John Goodman. I have outgrown the canned-laughter sitcoms, but nostalgia is going to keep me watching The Conners. Now at least I don’t have to look at Roseanne and be sad about the person she turned into offscreen.
Currently debating whether to spend the next 24 hours in bed.
Or perhaps 48.
My head is still not quite on right for social mediaing, so I’m sorry if my replies don’t quite live up to the great love you’re all showing me. I really do appreciate it.
I need to post that picture of Milo trying to chew at Keiko’s art on the back of my shirt. Maybe he was smooching it.
Anyway that’s enough typing I have to go check the inside of my oven for pizza leftovers.

Here’s Milo trying to eat Keiko’s art. fyi it’s not easy taking a picture of a goat behind you and also getting the back of your own t-shirt in the shot.
I am signing off for today. It’s like 1 pm but I’m done. I’m going to queue up some Mia posts and then go hide out in dreamland. I’ll try to get back to happier postings and happy goating. I guess it got a little much with the Yogi anniversary and all the *points frantically around at random*
love you mean it bleat it

That was a nice 22 hour nap. I’m not going to lie, I did consider just seeing how long I could survive staying in bed. Warm wellness and spectacular dreams and none of that icky reality stuff. I could get used to that.

Today will be a good day. Here’s Bruce and Clark from 2014. I’ll never get over what a mini-Mio Clark was, and with the same kind of bleater. While Bruce was a mini-Herman with a normal bleater. You could do a genetics paper on those kids.

Well, that’s a new one. Usually grandma sits in the goat house. Or under the goat house. But makes sense, I guess. She likes corners. And there’s a bit of sun in that spot. Plus you can see right over to where the humans are, and it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on the humans.

Mia’s beard has gotten a little more pronounced lately. There’s still a long way to go to catch up with grandma’s. But it’s showing more. She’s also being a little bit more bossy with the little ones. They still walk around together a lot, but every now and then they get a little push to remind them that she’s in charge of their little troop of three. Grandma Mio has been withdrawing a little more, usually content to head for a corner in the goat house and sit in a sun ray. Maybe Mia is getting closer to taking over leadership of the flock.

Finally watched Solo in a good, proper copy. Confirmed my first reaction, I really enjoy this movie. Other than the way that Han got his name. And maybe I would have preferred if the whole ’12 parsecs’ thing was just slick Han bulkshirting the hick farmers with technical mumbo jumbo. I didn’t really need to see the Kessel run thing actually explained. I guess that’s one of the most common critiques of the movie, it wasn’t really a story we needed. But it’s a lot of fun. It’s even better after having read the Moving Target book, which gives more details about Han’s upbringing on Corellia and Lady Proxima and Qi’ra. Having read that really improved the beginning of the movie for me.
No one is ever going to come close to Ford, but the new kid does a really good job actually. And I love Glover’s Lando. And Chewie is Chewie. I wish we could get more of their adventures together. Get into the Jabba story. I don’t care what others say, I just want more Star Wars all the time so I don’t have to think about the real world. I wish I still had my eyesight so I could go back and read the old Marvel comics again. I need my telepathic space bunny fix.

I love sleeping. I must have slept hard, my dad came over last night to drop something off and I didn’t even hear him knock. Luckily it fit in the mailbox. I could get addicted to 20+ hour naps. If it wasn’t for the fact that it would get in the way of goat responsibilities. If it wasn’t for the goats I’d just see how long a human can survive sleeping and doing nothing else.
