Good goat times today. A beautiful, sunny day. But very cold. Nights below zero and days just around freezing. The pasture was all frost today. It almost looked like it had snowed. I was greeted by bleats from the dark forest as I rounded the corner. It’s the first time in maybe months that has happened. I guess the frozen mud had allowed the goaties to roam back there again.
Got some fun horse yawns today. I was sitting with Mia and Mio when one of the big horses, Sille or Luna, came over. Mia and Mio backed off a little, but didn’t run screaming for the hills like they would have if it had been Mulle. Anyway, our big horse friend must have been tired because it aawned I think 4-5 times. Big horse yawns. Cute! Though, I still prefer goat yawns.
I heard Alice today, and saw Ophelia helping kids ride one of the horses. Didn’t talk to them, though. A couple of parents came into the pen and said hi to the goats. And of course asked if Mio was pregnant.
I am in a bit of an emotional pitfall at the moment. But seeing the goats is always so good.

I didn’t make it out of bed this morning. Not surprising, the way I was feeling. And the dreams were so beautiful…
The good news is that my parents have cooked up a pot of soup just for me and my dad is bringing it to me. Spoiled like a goat. It may shock you, but I’ve gotten a little tired of elderberry soup. It’ll be nice to have mama’s classic soup for a few days now. Onwards and upwards.

Ugh. Gross. I’ve been switched from the good old Facebook messages to messenger. Why would you enforce messenger on desktop? It doesn’t even work on Pale Moon, so I have to switch to Firefox. And the layout is way worse for my bad eyes. And it autoplays videos?! ffs. Yeah, if I was bad at replying to messages before it’s only going to get worse now. Don’t expect me to be having regular conversations on messenger, guys.

In more amusing musings, it amuses me when someone follows me on twitter and I go look at their profile and it says something about how they’re entrepeneurs or twitter experts or seo experts etc. And I see they have like 1,200,000 followers. But they’re following 1,500,000 people. Yeah, you’re a real master at twitter. You figured out that if you follow a million people on twitter you’re probably going to get at least half a mil following you back. That’s not very impressive. I don’t think Kim Kardashian had to follow 60 million people to get her 50 million followers. This was less amusing and interesting than I had hoped when I started writing it. Ah whatever, I’ll just post it. Nobody will notice. I’m glad this inner monologue worked out so well. I’m a real Facebook expert

Good goat times today. Lovely and sunny too. And even a little bit warmer. Up to around 5C/40F. Just that little bit helps a lot. Although it gets tricky to find the right combination of clothes. Sweater? Hoodie? Skull cap? How many layers of shirts and blouses? If I dont wear enough then I freeze immediately. If i wear too much then I sweat and get soaked and freeze eventually. Today was pretty good, though. Of course the warmer weather meant the mud was back. Maybe the worst yet. Poor goaties. And poor me, stumbling around in it. My feet got stuck a few times, but I managed not to fall at least.
A group of kids came by just as I got there too. They asked if I could get Mia and Mio to come over to them so they could pet them. And of course I could. Meanwhile A38 stood in her sunspot and relaxed. The kids laughed when I told them her name. It’s funny, to non Danish people A38 sounds like an impersonal designation. But to Danish people it’s a funny name.
Brought some carrots, leftover from soup making, and gave them to the horses. Something odd though. I think.. Mulle might be gone. I thought I was giving a carrot to Mulle, because she had that white stripe down her face. But then I realised.. the horse I was giving a carrot to was much darker. Didn’t have that blond hairdo. Odd odd odd. I just checked my photos and yes, I think it’s a new horse. But where is Mulle then? I wonder if they’ve exchanged horses with another place. I didn’t get a chance to talk to anyone today.
Another clue that it wasn’t Mulle was that Mia and Mio were not panicking like all heck when she got near. They’re terrified of Mulle. But Mia actually stood up to this new horse when she got hear. Almost headbutting her. And then of course still backing off, because it’s a big horse. I think a little bigger than Mulle.
Either it’s a new horse, or someone dyed Mulle’s hair. Funny thing, my face blindness extends to animals. Which is why I probably don’t remember the name of your pet. Faces and names just don’t stick together in my head.
Well, we’ll see. I hope Mulle isn’t gone for good. I really liked Mulle. Hope she’s okay too.
Now it’s time for soup.
19/1 2017

Here she is. Is this Mulle? I’m genuinely not sure. She seems a lot darker. Maybe she rolled in the mud. But. Hmm.
Oh yeah and do note Mio’s expression in the background. She may not be terrified like when Mulle is near, but she’s clearly not thrilled about the company.

Today will be a god day. As you all know, it’s a big, important day. Yes, that’s right. It’s my brother’s birthday. Happy birthday, brother.
I can’t think of anything else of importance happening today, so maybe I’ll just stay completely away from Twitter. Yes, that sounds like a good idea…
For those of you wondering how Peter is doing, I believe he just got through the last preparatory things for a kidney transplant, so now we just have to wait for one to become available. Which could be 2-5 years, I’m told. But he seems to be doing well with the dialysis.
And we live in Denmark which has pretty great health care, apropos of nothing in particular.

In other news, RIP Miguel Ferrer. I actually remember him more from On The Air than from Twin Peaks. I loved On The Air, it was so crazy. Maybe Lynch should bring that show back too. I really liked Ferrer, in many things. He had some crazy intensity and he made me laugh with seriousness. Gone too soon.

In happier news, thanks a million to the wonderful Keiko Murakami for these two amazing Palle drawings and the Strawberry card! As if the pizza stickers and sticks weren’t enough!
You are one of the best people I know, Keiko. I know you struggle with the darkness too. I’m glad if my goatfriends help a little. Your drawings, especially the ones you know of Kamel and Palle, have helped me a lot too.

This place, right next to the white door, used to be off-limits for the goats and horses. I think it was a little playpen where bunnies could be taken out. But that storm that messed with the fence to the goat pen, that let the horses invade, also messed with this fence. So now the goats and horses can go in there. The ground is more firm in there because it hasn’t been downtrodden and grazed by the horses. So it’s a little escape from the mud.

Good goat times today. Thankfully a little bit warmer, which helped a lot. I had a foot therapy session booked this morning. I had forgotten to factor in how dark it was that early. Wasn’t a very pleasant walk along the highway in the dark. But I made it. And then on to the goats. Back to Mudville, Denmark. Oh well. We also had a horse invasion. Remember that time when I said the horses were in the goat pen? Happened again, only this time I got to see them coming in. There’s part of the fence that’s been knocked down. I’d seen some rope strung across it earlier, but that rope was down today and the horses climbed over the bottom part of the fence that still remained. One by one they entered the goat domain. Much to the alarm and concern of the goats, naturally. Oh dear. But we had some sweet, cuddly times too. And later on Ophelia came by, nice to see her for the first time in the new year. She led the horses back out of the goat pen and into the big pasture. Not all heroes wear a cape, said Mia and Mio in unison, in my head.
Also, I definitely didn’t buy pie.

I arrived today just as Finbarr had let the animals out. He told me some interesting news. It turns out that Alice, from the old playground, will be joining this playground. She worked at the old playground all the 10+ years I went there, much of it as manager. She’ll be starting here part time at first, but will be full time later. It will be nice to have a familiar face there. One that I maybe feel a little more comfortable talking to.
On the other hand.. don’t mention it in public posts, but Alice and Bodil kinda had a feud going on at the old place. Alice was one of the people who we felt sometimes prioritized money over animal welfare. I don’t know if she’ll be in charge of animals here now. I hope she isn’t replacing Ophelia. Shut up. Anyway, this place is very different than the old place and there are other people here in charge and working with the animals. So I don’t think it will be a problem. The last time I talked to her she was talking about helping getting a new horse there and maybe building something new for the goats and maybe getting a little pygmy friend for A38. So hopefully some of those things will come to pass.

Nevermind celebs not talking about politics, could we please have presidents not tweeting about celebs?
Although I will say that Trump has a point about Meryl Streep. Pretty overrated. I mean, she hasn’t won the World Series. She was VERY indecisive as Sophie. I don’t recall her ever grabbing any American Pies. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t last long in the ring against Mike Tyson. She hasn’t been in ANY Star Wars movies as far as I know. Also she’s not fat, which I consider a personal insult directed at me personally. Her first name almost sounds like Daryl’s brother’s name on The Walking Dead. Meryl. Merle. Meryl. Merle. Daryl Meryl. Daryl Meryl. Her name is like a combination of Daryl and Merle. That can’t be coincidence.

Good goat times today. Mixed weather, though. When I stepped outside it was lovely and sunny. Only problem was, the sun was behind me. Looking ahead I saw nothing but the darkest of skies. It sounds like metaphor or exaggeration. But it treally was like that. I turned my back to the sun and walked on into the darkness and rain. Even a little snow. Luckily not too bad, and not super freezing. The sun must have followed me because it came back out when I reached the goats. I swear, this is not allegory.
Later on the rain/hail/sleet/snow started again. Mia and Mia ran for the barn. A38 followed right along with them. Until she reached the door and seemed to remember that she’s scared of being in the same room as them. Aw dear. She stood at the doorway and bleated her Night Court Selma croaks. Couldn’t help feeling bad for her yet at the same time laughing because she’s so darn cute with that voice. I called out to her and she followed me to the halfshed. And because the big mean girls were rained in we got some private time, just A38 and me. I had an extra banana that I was planning to give to Mia and Mio, but I figured A38 had earned it so she snarfed it down with great delight and didn’t have to hoof it afterwards.
The horses invaded the goat pen again. I’ll have to talk to the people there and ask if they don’t have someone with carpentry skills that can mend the fence.

I believe I have previously claimed to like The Good Place. I should like to take this opportunity to upgrade my assessment and state that I love it. And it’s not just because it stars my wife, Kristen Bell, and Ted Danson, whom we all know is the alt-reality version of what I would have grown up to be if I had followed my acting dreams instead of that trail of goat berries that led me into the forest of the wild unknown. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah, also the whole theme of trying to be a good person, especially if you’re actually extremely flawed, that has always appealed to me a lot. And also, it’s just so damn cute. Especially the Artificial Intelligence Janet Duke who just got married to the adorable moron Jianyu. They just make me laugh. I think it’s a really funny and cute show and it’s also doing a good job of keeping the mystery of the place going.

I love the dreamworld. I had a really good, long sleep. Among the craziness was a delivery of tons of candy and cake and probably cookies I assume. It was a Christmas gift from someone, but it had been stuck in mail so it arrived on my birthday. Must have been quite a delay since my birthday is in March. Also in the dream.. I had a 3rd sibling. I’m not sure if it was another brother or a sister. But in the dream it was just as if he or she had always been there. Kinda like when Dawn arrived on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. “What? Yeah, I’ve always had a sister. Totes”. Oh I love to dream. I don’t know why I ever get out of bed. Other than to answer the door when the pizzas are delivered.
