It Is Happening Again

April 28th, 2024

Good goat times today. A beautiful sunny day. But cold. Almost freezing in the morning. Warmed up a little as the sun did its thing, but still with a very cold wind. Brr. But the sun was nice. When we were out of the wind and into the sun, it felt good. Lazy goats sitting around.
We have a couple of electricians, I assume, working in the pen and the goat house. At least they didn’t dig the ground up this time. But they went around and did a bunch of drilling and stuff. I felt a little awkward, but they were nice enough and went around and did their thing.
We had some nicer visitors, kids and adults feeding the goats and coming in and petting them. They hadn’t been here before. When we get first time visitors we usually hear things like “it’s so nice that this place is here” and appreciation of the animals. I think we’ll be seeing them again.
So that was a quite lovely day for everyone.

I was sitting on the chair enjoying the sunshine and then Sky walked over next to me, but instead of standing there to get her sccratchies as she usually does, she sat down there. I liked that, like a dog sitting at its owner’s feet. Except of course Sky owns me, not the other way around.
Not sure why Luna decided to try and smell if I left any farts when I got up off the chair to take a photo.

Btw, I know my facebook profile is your goto stop for Danish soccerballs news. You may remember recently I posted about Brøndby’s Japanese strike Yuito Suzuki and how he scored three goals in the game where his family was visiting.
Well, yesterday he again had someone visiting. I am not sure if it was family or friend, but it’s kinda funny how the camera picks out the Japanese spectators in the crowd. They stand out in our mostly whiteywhite crowd. Haha. Anyway. Again he had visitors. And again he played brilliantly. Brøndby won 2-1 with two goals by Yuito, the first one a great goal the second one was one of the best goals of the season.
So for all you fans of balls, enjoy these balls and how they get a kicking. And please send Japanese people to be in the crowd in every game! (sorry for the mild racism).

In a rare non sports post, I finished my rewatch of The Soup today. I have almost 500 episodes, dating back to 2007. Watched them all at least twice. I was feeling a little sad that I was through them all but then.. I decided, oh why not just start from teh beginning again. 500 episodes, bad memory. I’ll have forgotten a ton, I can still enjoy them. Once more with laughing.
It’s kind of my go to when I eat soup. Eat a big pot of soup while watching an episode of The Soup. I wish they’d bring it back, there’s still plenty of reality tv and pop culture sht to ridicule. I heard a while back that Craig Ferguson was going to be doing a Souplike show. I hope that comes to pass. I would like that. I would like that very much.
But that’s my life. Soup and The Soup.
If anyone knows of a place where you can find episodes from before August 2007, please let me know.

Aw, look at Sky and Bella sharing the board. That’s sweet. And they managed not to slide off. It’s a good spot to sit in the sun.

Got an hour twenty five in on the bike today. Phew. Good going. I just hope I don’t get selected for the random doping testing, because I may have partook in some performance enhancing soup. Wink wink nudge nudge.

For the premium subscribers, an early look at an upcoming video. Bella, once again, messing up my otherwise flawless film making. But hey, watching the cluckers is fun too!

A couple further notes from my Twin Peaks rewatch.
A) Albert is so so so wonderful, I absolutely love him. He is the funniest sob and then suddenly so endearing. Rest in peace Miguel Ferrer, absolute brilliance. “I choose to Iive my Iife in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are globaI. I reject absoIuteIy revenge, aggression and retaIiation. The foundation of such a method is Iove”.
2) The Tremonds are so unsettling. The old lady and her grandson. I was amused though when I watched their debut and caught myself thinking that the grandson looked so much like a little David Lynch. And then after the episode was over I went online to read recaps and discussions and I find out he IS a little David Lynch, Lynch’s son. I never knew that. Or maybe I did and forgot. But that was funny. They’re so creepy though. At least with Bob, as terrifying as he is, you know he’s evil. In the same episode where the Tremonds appear there’s a shot where Bob comes after Maddie and it’s just one long cut with Bob climbing over furniture staring straight into the camera and he just keeps coming at you and the scene doesn’t cut and it’s horrible. But at least you can tell he’s evil and a monster and he’s coming to eat your soul. Mrs Tremond and her grandson are just.. unsettling. there’s just something so off about them. J’ai une ame solitaire. Creepy creepy creepy. Although kind of hilarious that Mrs Tremond was played by the old lady that Jerry stole the bread from in Seinfeld.
3) This isn’t about Twin Peaks or Seinfeld, but could someone do a mashup of Air’s Kelly Watch The Stars and Woody’s Kelly Kelly song from Cheers? Thanks, I’ll hold my breath while I’m waiting.

I had a cool dream last night. I died. Well, that’s not the cool part. I think I was run over by a truck. Anyway, details details. But I lived on as a ghost or a spirit or some such thing. And I was traveling around. I was watching my friends cope with the loss. My old classmates from school. I often dream about people I went to school with, probably because I spent some 9ish years with them, and after school well.. there are not a lot of people I have spent a lot of time with irl. So It think the people I went to school with are sort of imprinted in my brain, and unlike how it would be for most others, I haven’t really had anyone to replace the imprint. I love you all my facebook friends, but writing with people doesn’t imprint them the same way I think.
Anyway. that was a tangent. It was pretty interesting being a ghost. If I die, I’ll tr to come haunt you all, in the nicest possible way. Like i’ll fart in Keiko’s apartment and make her think of goat berries. Stuff like that. No creepy BOB type crawling over furniture and eating your soul. Unless your soul is soup. Then I may eat your soul. With flourballs.
So anyhoo, how you doin?

Oh fk. I’m up to the Maddy episode. And i’m going to watch it before bedtime, because i’m a masochist and invite the nightmares in.
Just watched the episode with Gordon Cole’s first appearance. It’s funny, when i first watched Twin Peaks back ni they day, i did not know he was played by David Lynch. Back then I didn’t know who David Lynch even was. I don’t remember if his name was brought up much in Danish media when we started airing Twin Peaks back then. I suppose it must have been. But it wasn’t something I paid attention. It was only later on I found out that the deaf guy with the loud voice was the genius behind it all. Amongst others.
Also, I have to confess. I love Dick.
I think a lot of Twin Peaks fans hate Richard Tremayne. And certainly his, and some other, plot threads from season 2 really drag the show down at times. But I can’t help it. I love Dick. The actor just cracks me up. Soo smarmy and obnoxious.
Anyway. I can’t postpone it anymore. Gotta go watch THAT episode. It is going to be happening again.

Good goat times today. Cold and rainy morning. But we did get some sunshine later on. Stayed cold, though. But the forecast for next week looks promising. Hopefully spring will kick in for real soon.
Had my fun with the goats. Got some lapgoat time with Luna. It’s been a while. She’s aaalmost too big for it now. But she did settle down to chew her cud for a bit. I guess probably won’t get much bigger now. Just about a year since they came to stay with us.
We had nice human visitors too. My little fan Lilly was one of them. She was pointing at my pocket, she wanted to see my camera again. Unfortunately I didn’t have my camera with me at that point. Because . My camera broke. I’ve had intermittent lens errors since one of Bella’s sabotage runs. And today it seemed to finally give up the ghost and not want to recover. Darnit. Back when it happened I did manage to procure a replacement camera, from the US no less. So I guess it’s time to put that into action. I really need to be careful with this one, I can’t afford to buy more replacement cameras. And it’s getting virtually impossible to find that make and model anymore. And I love that camera model. So, it’s time to keep Bella locked up in a cage when I’m around. Just kidding. But hooves crossed she doesn’t end up costing more thousands of kroners.
The things we do for goats. Actually, I guess I’m doing it for you all. The goats would probably be happy if I spent more time giving them treats instead of filming them.

One of the literally 5 photos I took before my camera gave up. Maybe we can use this as a mugshot for Bella The Menace.

Not just goat times today, also did an hour on the bike afterwards. It’s always challenging to do the exercise after being out goating. But it’s a good physical strain. you know me, living on theeeeedge.
Also, today I learned that apparently in 48 states (I believe it was) in America you don’t need a license to have a flamethrower. Murica! If you ever get around to banning the semiautomatics maybe the school shooters can take up flamethrowers, have a fkn barbecue.
Sorry, I know that’s dark. But Jesus. America is weird. Meanwhile I’m walking around with a thin wooden knife that couldn’t cut bananas in slices because in Denmark you can’t carry real knives or pepper spray or sht like that. But you CAN see boobs on tv, so you know we’re going to hell in a handbasket.
Alright alright. That’s enough rambling. I’ll stick my head back in the soup pot.

Marked himself safe from watching Maddy get murdered on Twin Peaks.
The murder is still as haunting and terrifying. But the scenes around it, in the Road House, are so beautiful and magical. Julee Cruise’s amazing singing. The giant coming in. It is happening again. The old waiter so sad. I am so sorry. The people in the bar breaking down. It’s so sad and beautiful. I have taked about Badalamenti’s music, but you can’t forget Julee Cruise. What a voice. They’re both gone now. Along with Miguel Ferrer, Catherine Coulson, too many. They sing a pretty song and there’s always music in the air.

The idea of a president having immunity will never make sense to me, no matter what president it is. The more power you have, the more accountable you should be held.
And the more incentive you have to get people to commit vrimes, the less you should be able to pardon people.
The president shouldn’t even have the power to pardon turkeys, because that just perpetuates the system of murdering the poor birds. how about you pardon ALL THE TURKEYS.
But at least it’s a good day for Harvey Weinstein. The American justice system really works. Why just lifetime appointments for scotus, why not for ALL the judges. No accountability, no risk of anything, just accept all the brib I mean gifts your heart desires.
And another thing *sound of someone hitting Lasse with a frying pan to shut him up*

This is going to be another controversial political opinion. I believe that Kristi Noem murdering a dog and a goat is wrong and should count against her if she should end up being Trump’s running mate.
Now, I know pro-life only extends to fetuses, not dogs or goats or children old enough to go to school. So I expect republicans would still vote for her.
The fact that she even feels comfortable writing about it in a book says a lot. She knows it won’t matter. People will be on social media saying stuff like “my dog eats before I do” or “I’d rather spend time with goats than humasn” but they’ll still vote for someone who shoots dogs and goats to death with guns. Just surprised she didn’t kill them with a flamethrower.
Sorry, but it’s either this or another Twin Peaks ramble.
I hate the world, hooray.

Ah. Memory unlocked. I’ve been trying to think of the name of this game for decades it seems. It’s one of my earliest memories, maybe THE earliest, of playing a game on our Commodore 64. The music, the weird writings on the wall in the caverns, carefully steering through the caverns because touching any wall is instant death. Funny, I don’t recall this level structure though, it seems like there’s only one level, but it repeats. I feel like I have memories of a different level.. but it must be this game, because it looks and sounds exactly like what I remember. Killerwatt. I remember it being so frustrating because you had to be so precise to avoid the walls. I think we had a bad joystick, because I remember dying constantly. No, I said a bad joystick. I wasn’t a bad player, it was the joystick. Shut up I’m taking my game home!
Anyway, I think i’m feeling a bit better. Been a runny tummy day. But the soup was good.

I love the little girl getting a goat hug in the beginning of this video. It’s always so sweet seeing kids delighted by the gots, getting these special experiences.
Makes me sad that more and more of these playgrounds with animals are being shut down or having to get rid of the animals. I was talking to Jeanette about it the other day. I forget what the number was,but there are fewer and fewer of these playgrounds left, the budgets are getting tighter and tighter. It’s all about priorities of course, there has to be money for everything. It’s just sad, especially in these ‘troubled’ neighbourhoods it’s so good for kids and young people to have places to go, adults that care and help them, animals and a little bit of nature. I wish they could be prioritized higher. At least our playground is still going. Its’ the third one I’ve been at, I’m not sure I could go on to find another place if this one closed. i’m lucky to have had these places fairly close to me and been able to be a part of them.

Year One

April 21st, 2024

Good goat times today. Managed to get out. I was a bit worried about how I would cope, after the breaking of the back. But it actually was ok. I have pain in the area with the broken bone or whatever it is. But my general pain level in my back was actually less than usual. I have secretly been fantasizing that whatever part of my back broke was the part causing all my pain and it would now grow back stronger and fix everything. I know I know, it sounds like I have a medical degree, but I swear I don’t! Anyway, I’m not naive enough to think everything will be fine. But today was much better than expected. The localized pain was not as bad as the general pain have been at times. So I’m glad I got out.
I was a little later than usual, and when I arrived I met Jeanette en route to the goat pen. We stopped and chatted, about my back and some other things. That was nice. Although the goats were extremely offended. they hadn’t had their breakfast yet and I was late and the humans WERE JUST STANDING THERE AND TALKING. What an outrage. Someone call the animal welfare.. .police. Poor starving goats were screaming at us from the fence as we talked. It’s a hard knock life in the goat pen. They were happy when I got breakfast served though.
And it was a lovely day with them. Mostly overcast with a bit of rain now and then, but not enough to really bother us. We had some sweet visitors in the pen saying hi to the goats. And one saying hi to me. The little girl Lily was back, and she still seems more interested in me than in the goats. I had previously thought she was non verbal, but today she did say hi to me. And then proceeded to say it a couple of times every time I said it back. I heard the adult with her trying to get her to say some things too. She is very sweet. Still fascinated by my camera. So I showed her a picture on the viewscreen. She was also pointing at my glasses and then pointing at her own. And then Jeanette took her over to see the chickens up close. Very sweet.
Now I’m back home and feeling my back a lot. But it went better than expected, so that’s good. Now i’ll have some soup and unwind.

Luna at breakfast, finally. With the feathers. Today was a Chase The Chickens day. Several times Luna lunged towards them causing louds squawks. Good thing they’re too fast for her! It’s funny how the feathers know Sky is safe and will happily share her breakfast bowl with them, but if Luna comes running you gotsta gets out the way.

Started watching the new show Sugar with Colin Farrell. I don’t have time to watch everything I want, I just started my Twin Peaks rewatch, I shouldn’t be watching this! But I am hooked. I love the vibe of it, Farrell is farrelly fantastic. And I love the mystery of it. The whole reason I started watching it is because I read that reviewers with advanced copies of the episode said that there’s going to a huge twist that changes everying. In episode 6 apparently. That intrigued me, and I started watching it. And it’s really speaking to me. I love these kind of mystery shows where you’re not sure what’s going on and you get the feeling there’s more to it than what you first think. Lost is my favourite show of all time, Twin Peaks might be my second. I love these shows where you’re not sure if it’s going to be regular drama or if there’s something supernatural or sci-fi going on. And the weirdness and unease, the dream feeling. Sugar definitely has that. I’m not sure if they’re aliens or blade runners or angels or AI or werewolves or vampires or what the heck is going on. Maybe he’s insane and it’s all in his mind. Just caught up with episode 3. I guess there are three episodes to go until we find out. I wish I could binge the whole thing right away. So far my best guesses are aliens or angels. But it almost seems like they’re hinting too much at something like that, maybe it’s misdirect. And all the shots of the moon, and the connection with animals. That feels like werewoves or vampires, but can they do that without it being super lame? I love the nu noir detective feel. The narration definitely has a Blade Runner vibe to it.
Sorry for the ramble, I just had to get those thoughts out of my head. Can’t wait to watch more episode. If you like mystery shows like I do, I definitely recommend Sugar. I think reviews have been mixed and I think some people feel the twist left them angry, but I can’t comment on that yet of course.
It’s an Apple show in case you feel like checking it out.
Now I can get back to Twin Peaks while I wait for new episodes of Sugar. John Sugar, that’s a weird name. People calling him sugar, I wonder if there’s something to that. Maybe he’s piece of candy brought to life by… a wizard. I’ll workshop that theory. It’s better than watching my blood sugar levels.

Had two weird robocalls today. First a man then a woman speaking some incomprehensible asian sounding stuff. Weird. it happened like 15 minutes apart and I though oh no, is my number on some list and now I’m going to get these calls constantly? Well it’s been hours now, so hopefully it was just the two tiems and no more.
I know my number is on some Danish list, because periodically I will get calls from Danish businesses who are exempt from the ‘no phone selling’ laws. If I don’t answer the phone then they keep calling and calling periodically. If I answer the phone and waste a minute of their time then they usually go away for a month or two. But those are legitimate businesses trying to sell me stuff. I don’t know what this was. Maybe it was a scam targetting asian immigrants? Maybe they got a wrong number? I looked up the numbers online, one number got no results the other was a private number from some Danish person. I am pretty sure the numbers are spoofed. I’m not going to call back to random people.
Anyway. Weird.

Back in the red room. Redrum redrum. Still absolutely terrifies me. Can’t wait for the nightmares! But it’s so sorking fascinating. Where we’re from the birds sing a pretty song, and there’s always music in the air.
It’s funny how it mixes utterly mundane and sometimes inane soap storyliens with absolutely insane dream logic and haunting visions. And there’s a fish in the fkn percolator. I love how utterly 90s it all feels, and I wish the world was still in 4:3.

I will never understand why some religious people would think that their god’s love is so finite that it could be rocked by things like gender or sexuality. Do you honestly think god cares about gender? Even if you think it’s all baloney and made up, do you think god would be angry at someone who ‘claimed’ to be non binary or who ‘decided’ to change gender once a week? Why would it matter to god? Why would it matter to god if someone is trans or whatever? Is your god so weak and hateful? Does he also stop loving people who use cell phones because he can only comprehend landlines?
Well, I’m being facetious.I understand. God has always been the perfect tool for humans to persecute and dominate and subjugate other humans. It just makes me so sad that religion that should be divine is used for hatred and bigotry.
I am glad I have gotten to know some good religious people on here, it makes it easier to remember not to judge everyone by the covers of their holy books.
Alright alright. I’ll shut up. I could go on forever, until the four goats of the apocalypse drag me to the funny farm.

Had to stop by the doctor’s office to do a urine sample. Last time my liver levels were a little elevated. When I was there last week they forgot to make me leave urine sample, so I had to go in and do that today. A bit annoying, there are other things I would have rather been doing. But I gave them some yellow snow, so we’ll see how the readings are this time.
When I got home I managed to get an hour in on the exercise bike. First ride since I cracked my back bone. Went fine, although my legs were tired after being out on the pee run. But I’m still going.

After the trip to the doc’s office I did a little shopping. In the line in front of me was a young boy and his mother. The boy was crying because he couldn’t have any of the goodies they were buying yet. It wasn’t a loud obnoxious crying, just a little sad because whatever was in their cart was so delicious and he couldn’t comprehend why he couldn’t just start eating it right away. And his mother was comforting him and telling him that it would just be a minute then they would have paid for it and he could have some.
And then she said “do you think you want the mini pizza first or [something else[“. And that’s when I knew that we had a little Mini Lasse here. Crying because he had to wait 1 minute for pizza. Girl, same. I feel ya. Life is an unbearable descent into pain and disappointment, until one minute when you have pizza and everything is great.
i did think the mom was very sweet, she was comforting and distracting the kid and not just letting him eat stuff while they were in line for the register, I think she handled that well. I hope the kid got his pizza and it was good.

Welcome to another edition of What’s Lasse Been Reading Watching Listening To.
Just finished Anthony Daniels’ “I Am C-3PO”. I thought it would be an autobiography but it wasn’t quite. It’s funny, Patrick Stewart’s book that I finished recently took a long time getting to the Star Trek parts. It went through his upbringing and early acting in Shakespeare and such. I Am C-3PO had none of that. It was all Star Wars all the time. Literally. But as a huge Star Wars fan I didn’t mind that. It was lovely hearing behind the scenes stuff from the early movies and what happened later on. I wouldn’t have minded an actual autobiography, but I appreciated getting a look at the man behind the robot. There was a lot of personal stuff and he didn’t hold back, a look at the sadness and problems of being C-3PO, as well as the joys and rewards. So that was neat. And another example of audiobooks giving that little bit extra when read by the author. His normal voice isn’t quite the same as the robot’s, but it’s not far off. I like when he finished the legal disclaimers at the end and he said “I have to say all that, for legal reasons”.
I could definitely relate to some of his self-deprecation. If you love Star Wars, definitely pick this one up.
Watching? Well I am eagerly awaiting the next episode of Sugar. Until then, proceeding with the Twin Peaks rewatch. Gotten to some of the really weird and hauting stuff, but so far no nightmares. I think. I have woken up a couple of times with Twin Peaks music playing in my head, but I had nightmares and just forgot about it.
I have also been watching Hollywood Darlings which is a comedy series a few years old, featuring Christine Lakin, Jodie Sweetin and Beverley Mitchell. From Step By Step, Full House and 7th Heaven. Because rewatching Step By Step and Twin Peaks is fuelling my nostalgic cravings for the 90s. It’s a pretty fun show, not amazing but I like how they poke fun at themselves, reminds me a little of Curb Your Enthusiasm and other things where people play heightened versions of themselves. I always love that. My favourite is James Van Der Beek palying himself on Don’t Trust The B* In Apartment 23. That was a great show, stll angry they cancelled that. Oh and yes I watched the finale of the last season of Curb too. I enjoyed the season a lot. I’ve seen some people not liking it, but it’s still amusing me. And I loved the finale parrallels to the Seinfeld finale. I wouldn’t mind more Curb, but this was a good way to go out I thought.
Listening. I have been listening to The Smile. Thom Yorke’s ‘new’ band. It’s challenging. A lot harder to get into than Radiohead. But after listening to it for a few weeks it is growing in my head, and some of it is very beautiful. Corgan, Stipe, Yorke, the three troubadours of my musical awakening.

I’m sorry that I’m so controversial, but I’m just going to come out and say it, goats are great. You can just unfriend me right now if you don’t agree. We live in divsive times and there’s no room in my life for people who are goatdeniers.

Today is a bit of a rough day, but I’ll talk about that later.
The good news is that my urine test came back and I passed with flying colours. That is a relief. When I saw that I had a message from the doctor I was worried that it was going to be doom and gloom.
Don’t know why my liver numbers were too high last time, maybe it was just a fluke. Or maybe all the exercising I’ve done in the months after that test has gotten me back on track. I’m just glad that’s off the table. I still have to work on the blood sugar levels, back pain, general fitness. But slow and steady wins the race, as the turtle said to… other turtle. Those turtles are so chatty.
Carry on.

It has been a year since Mia passed on. Seems hard to believe. Time always flows in odd ways when your life gets disrupted by these kinds of traumas. I have been through it before, the loss of goats that meant so much to me. At first it seems like you can’t go on and nothing will ever be okay again. And then you go on, because you have to.
There have been some truly special goats in my life, but Mia was special among the special. She changed my life, with the facebook page and our story together. A lot of you reading this now probably wouldn’t be reading it if it hadn’t been for Mia. For a decade she was the focal point for a lot of my life.
If you’re following the goat page you know that I recently started posting weekend flashback videos. Going through the old videos to pick which ones to post, it brings a lot of joy. And sadness. I can look at the other special goats, all of them were special in their own ways of course, but you know there were some that stood out to most of us. I can look at them and be happy and smile and not really feel sad unless I dig for the feeling. But with Mia I can’t only feel happiness, the sadness is still too great. I suppose that is natural. And I have mostly dealt with the loss by not thinking about it. Which is not really healthy. But it hurts too much. I can’t deal with it. I close it off in my mind, along with the other things in my life that I can’t deal with. There are a lot of locked doors in the attic of my mind. Maybe some day the weight of all that’s hidden and locked away will bring the house down. But I don’t really know how else to cope. There are things you know, and there are things you don’t know.
I am thankful for the three little goat ladies we have now. Throwing my love and attention to them. Letting them preoccupy my mind. The arrival of new kids is always a joy. Bella and Luna are wonderful. And Sky is my old girl now, the last remains of the old days. With all she’s been through I feel responsible for doing the best I can for her and keep her happy. As she does for me.
Well, I probably shouldn’t ramble on for ages. You all know what Mia meant to me and how much I miss her. When I let the thoughts in. I hope I will see her, and all the others, again some day.
One day a day, as long as there are days left.
Thank you everyone, for caring about me and the goats. I never thought so many people would care, but Mia brought me there.

Thank you everyone for the comments yesterday. I am thankful to know so many lovely people around the world. Anniversaries are always hard, but at the end of the day they are just another day. And you know what I say. One day a day. today’s a new day, a new dawn. I am going to go exercise and maybe, just maybe, have a little soup. And keep on keeping on.
Love you loves!

Got an hour fifteen on the bike. I had hoped to go longer, but my legs decided this was a bad idea and I was a poopoo head and I could talk to the hand cos the feet ain’st listening. Ah well.
Last track playing on my randomized exercise mix as I was winding down was this one, appropriate for the date.

Finished season 1 of my Twin Peaks rewatch. Loving it, of course. I have watched the show a number of times, but it’s the first time in quite a while, a decade or more, and the first time since watching The Return. That has definitely influenced me. I’m finding this time I’m really loving Bobby a lot. Maybe it’s because of what happens to him 25 years later in The Return. Maybe it’s just because I’m older. The way he calls out the entire town at Laura’s funeral speaks to me a lot more, and the sadness in him. Also enjoying when he’s just a fun bad guy.
Appreciating the Log Lady mroe too, I mean I always did appreciate her. But that heart wrenching scene in The Return makes it even more emotional.
The music is so addicrive, I find myself constantly humming the tunes even when I’m not watching the show. The visuals and the soundscape is outstanding.
Starting on season 2 now. Dreading Maddie’s murder, because I remember that scene always terrifying me. I have already started fearing looking in the mirror. And not just because I’m ugly, as usual!
Anyway. Better go before the milk goes cold.
