I really like People of Earth. The TV show, not so much the actual people of actual Earth. I mean, some of you are alright. Don’t let it go to your heads.

Good goat times today. Though A38 got me a little worried. Her colours are so dark and her demeanor so quiet and polite that I literally can’t see if she’s there when they’re in their stalls and the lighting is bad. I have no problem knowing if Mia and Mio are there because as soon as they even hear me outside they start bleating and Mia starts climbing the walls. But A38 just waits to see whatever will happen. I had to open the door to her stall and step inside before I could see that she was in fact sitting in the corner. She didn’t get up until I went inside and gave her breakfast. I like to hand feed her to make sure she’s eating (when Peanut went to keep her company it was because she was depressed and not eating). With Mia and Mio I just fling the buckets at them and dive out of the way and hope to survive. It’s incredible how different their personalities are. I think A38 is even calmer than Kamel. And that’s saying something.
I got to say hello to the barn kitty today. Usually when I’m first there in the morning she is meowing and darts out the door the first chance she gets. But today it seemed like she wanted to hit snooze on the alarm clock. She was curled up and seemed all sleepy. Until I let the goats out. She was sleeping on blanket on a shelf next to Mia and Mio’s door. When I let Mio out she went over to investigate the cat. For a second I almost thought she was going to charge the cat. Maybe it was my stern tone of reprimande that stopped her. Or maybe she recognised this cat wasn’t trouble since it must be sleeping there next to them every night. Who knows.
With the exits blocked by mud and horses I took them the long way around the stables and pen. Let the big girls graze for a while outside. I don’t know if there’s any real nourishment in the grass this time of year, but it’s something to do. Later we were all back in the pen, and then Ophelia came and let the horses out. Mia and Mio quickly getting out of the way when Mulle got close. They know not to mess with her.

Good goat times today. Fairly quiet day today. The goats were already out when I got there. Spent sweet time with them. Mia was wise to the banana I had in my pocket. Every time I tried sneaking over to A38 to give it to her, Mia came running over to intercept. It’s a game of cat and mouse. Or goat and banana. Hard to sneak food past a goat. The horses were all wearing fancy rain coats. Ophelia told me the other day that the coats were only to keep them dry, not for warmth. Now I’m going to grab me some elderberry soup, which is for keeping me warm.

On the plus side: I had a wonderful dreamwalk, including my family taking a trip to a big hotel in New York.
On the meh side: I had a power outage. It only lasted 10 minutes, but still that’s 10 minutes of “OHMAGERD WHAT IF I CAN USE MY COMPUTER EVER AGAIN”.
On the minus side: The left arrow key on my keyboard has fallen off and I can’t get it properly attached. And because I’m visually impaired I can’t just buy any old cheap keyboard. So I’m probably going to have to buy an expensive replacement. Or get used to the left arrow key being really annoying. Why won’t that thing just click back on, I spent 30 minutes trying to get it to hook in, sigh.
On the soup side: I’m going to get myself some elderberry soup.

Good goat times today. Growlingly cold, though. A thick, heavy fog and frost everywhere. Like walking through a Dickensian christmas tale. And three layers wasn’t enough today. Add to that I come home to an apartment without heat and hot water for most of the day. Well isn’t that special. At least I warmed up a little with some goat cuddles and a nice little chat with Ophelia. And horses in coats, loudly chewing hay.
Just gotta make it to spring.

Answered my phone and heard a little girl voice saying “Daddy? Daddy can I go play with Rigmor?”.
Creepy, huh? Well, not really. It was a cute, little voice and I could hear children in the background, like a kindergarten or something similar. And I’ve had a call like that before. I’d figure either it’s kids making crank calls, or just a wrong number. Guess it was the last one. After I hung up, she called again. She was again asking for her dad and it was like she couldn’t hear my replies properly. She kept going “Dad?” and I kept going “No.” because I didn’t know what else to do since she couldn’t seem to hear me when I tried telling her she had the wrong number. After a couple of Nos she asked “Who is it then” and I said who I was and she said “Hold on, I think I have the wrong number” and hung up. Guess it could still be a prank, but it just sounded like she had the wrong number and couldn’t hear me, maybe because of all the other kids being loud in the background.
The good news is, I’m not going on Maury Povich. I’m pretty sure I am not the father.

I’m busy convincing myself I’m going to be ill.
My dad was over earlier and he kinda collapsed in my apartment (he’s home now and doing okay). I am sure that he infected me (queue Walking Dead theme). Or that I was already sick last night when that headache and tiredness was growing. Or that my extraordinary mental powers are going to will me into being sick. Just because you’re a hypochondriac doesn’t mean the infection isn’t after you.
I kinda feel like I’m getting sick now, but I don’t know if it’s real or just the power of suggestion.

Ermagerd sterwers. Sorry, have to wipe off all the drool. I loved Rogue One! So much. It was everytihng I wanted it to be. Now, this is a preliminary assesment, because I watched a bad cam copy. Coupled with my eyesight, I am sure I missed a ton of stuff visually. I can’t wait for the DVD to come out so I can watch it again. Everything just seemed to fit perfectly. Fun and sad and spectacular. And so Star Wars. Ever since I saw the cover of my first Star Wars comic, I always loved the idea of stories set in that univers. Not the main saga, not the Skywalkers, not the Sith and Jedi. Just stories set on that background. I’d still like them to go further. Tell stories that aren’t connected to the main battle against the Empire. They ought to round up all the greatest sci-fi writerse of our time and get them to write episodes for a live action TV show set in the universe. Having all the recognisable things that we love, but just using it as a backdrop to geat, unique stories. Maybe some day.
Anyway. All the thumbs up for Rogue One. I’m sure there are nits that could be picked, and judging from the forums I read the Star Wars fandom can be one of the most divided I’ve seen. But I was thoroughly satisfied and entertained. And I really want a spinoff with K2SO and Mr Bones from the Aftermath novels. My two favourite SW bots (Sorry Lynne Howard, I know you’re partial to R2).
I’m really glad I read the prequel novel first too. It was nice having such a deep understanding of the Ersos and Krennic going in. Added a lot to especially the opening of the movie.
Anyway, now I can listen to all the podcasts, read the forums, the wiki, the novelisation. I’m still a happy, little boy when I get my Star Wars on. Escapism, it’s never been more needed.
I can’t believe they revealed that Jyn Erso was a time travelling force ghost twin of Rey’s, though. Crazy. Hashtag fake news.
Forest Whitaker, though. Am I right? He should be in everything.

Good goat times today. I was a little curious to see if maybe my math had been all wrong and… but no, no babies. We’re definitely way over the expiry date now. Definitely no babies.
A little warmer and some sun today. That was nice. Of course that means everything is mud again. We are all made of mud. But that’s okay. I got to see a couple of fun Mia jumps across the mud river. Grandma doesn’t have the same bounce, she just sort of wades through it. Much to her chagrin. Oh dear. Other than that, nothing new. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go tend to a pot of soup.

Good goat times today. Glad I went. Almost had myself talked out of it because my legs ached and I was feeling down. The kind of down that makes you want to stay in bed. But I got going and spent some nice time in the frosty sunshine with the girls. Always better. Put a cinderblock down by the fence where the sun was hitting hard and sat there. Immediately crowded by Mio and Mia of course. Just good to sit there and be a man among goats. And then hot soup at home. Good for what ails ya.

I had a brilliant dreamwalk last night. So many sparkly ways. Like the taping of an episode of The Big Bang Theory, apparently. Haha.
But best of all was the goat part. When I go to the playground there are two directions I can come from, depending on the path I take. Sometimes I’oll find the goats looking for me in the other direction because they’re expecting me to come from there. In the dream Mia was looking for me at the fence and I was sneaking up behind her to video her reaction whe she noticed me. But then I saw someone else there. Palle. And then I knew it was a dream. I love seeing Palle in dreams. And I love when I’m in a dream and I become aware it’s a dream. I’ve talked about it before. It fascinates me. It was so real, but I knew it had to be a dream because Palle was there. He came running to me. Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him, because my upstairs neighbours woke me with loud noises, and a lecture about racial equality. Just kidding, not that kind of woke. But yeah. Thank you, Palle, for the visit. Come by any time.

We’re spending a lot more time in the goat pen these days, instead of the horse pen. Probably because the horse pen is a lot muddier. And you have to pass the river of mud to get through it.

Good goat times today. The place was still closed when I got there. So I went in and fed the goats. Meowed at the kitty. Then I got ready to take the goats out the back and all the way around the pen, so we could avoid the mud in front of the main door. But then Ophelia showed up. We talked a little while she fed the horses. That was nice. then she let the horses out. Which meant that the door the goats normally use to go out was now free, and we went out that way. Out to the cold. Actually it’s gotten a little bit warmer again, but I made the mistake of thinking that meant I could do without my sweater. Note to self: You cannot do without your sweater until spring. Cold, cold, cold. But worth it for the three lovely goat friends I got. Had some tomato and banana time. And I let A3i8 try the pumpkin seeds for the first time. She snarfed them down with great delight. Then I looked at my camera to admire the great video I was shooting of A38’s first pumpkin seed fiest… and saw that I’d left the lens cap on. Whoopsie. Oh well. I got the lens cap off and filmed A38’s second taste of pumpkin seeds, so that’ll be up on the page whenever it’s done and edited.

“Tynnans were an intelligent and pragmatic race, renowned for their patient planning.
