Pining For The Fjords

January 31st, 2009

There is a little bit of snow on the ground. As February comes around. Spent some time inside with the goat boys.

Beauties and the beast. Flash in the face is an attractive look eh? It is funny how much they love to chew on my hair. I have tried offering them bread and raisins but it doesn’t interest them the slightest. Sometimes they’ll chew a little on hay. But their favourite thing seems to be my hair. Whenever they get close to it they start digging in. Nomnomnom. Some people might think I’m weird for letting goats chew my hair. But what are ya gonna do? It’s not like it’s particularly well kept anyway. And I’m planning to get it cut sometime soon so who cares. Not me.

In other news, did you know that Monty Python has gotten their own youtube channel? So basically now I don’t have to leave the house ever.

You know you’re a cool, hot guy when you still know all the sketches by heart practically. That’s why I get laid with all the ladies.

The plumage don’t enter into it.

Speaking of TV, I mentioned that I have been into Craig Ferguson’s talkshow, right? Well I watched him talk to James Earl Jones. And guess what? James Earl Jones, the voice of Darth Vader, has a little farm. With goats! Half a dozen. “I never thought we’d end up talking about goats” said Craig. Awesome. First Steve Zahn and now James Earl Jones. Goats are the fashion in Hollywood.

I should go to Hollywood.

The Lurking Horror

January 29th, 2009

Today actually went according to plan. How nice.

I got up at 7 am and acquired new Lost. Proceeded to watch and greatly enjoy it. Words aren’t enough to say how much I love that show. Seriously.

AFter that I went to the hospital for the laser eye treatment. No fun, but at least it wasn’t quite as bad as last time. Just had to finish up the right eye. So now all that remains is 3-4 treatments for the left one. Piece of cake.

Seriously, I want a piece of cake. Give it to me.

Eye treatment always leaves me tired and with bad vision. Even worse with the new floater today. But I still managed to stop off at the playground and have fun with the boys.

If you’re wondering what’s going on there, then it is simply the white-headed one (on the bottom) who is trying to show us that he is much mightier than my shoe. Pushing his head against it. Earlier the other boy was attacking my leg in the same fashion. I got some video of that, might upload that sometime. If you’re not all too tired of the videos yet.

It’s getting harder to tell them apart I think. The white-headed one isn’t even white-headed. They look more and more alike. Or maybe it’s just my imagination.

And they still can’t get up on the bench by themselves. Especially not when momma gets in the way like that!

So today wasn’t too bad after all. I still feel a little like I’m coming down with something, though. Not feeling bad yet, but like there is something lurking. We’ll see if it comes or not.

Oh and I think the kindergarten next door has closed. Or moved perhaps. The sign on their door has been taken down. And I haven’t heard any kids all week. It isn’t a holiday is it? I don’t think so. And their sign has always been up during previous holidays anyway. So I think it might be gone. That’s kinda sad. You’d think having a kindergarten as nextdoor neighbours wouldn’t be so nice maybe, but I have always liked it. I sleep with earplugs anyway so the extra noise have never bothered my sleep. And I like the sound of kids playing. In the morning they’ll come in groups and you’ll hear some kid shouting “FIIRST” as he gets to the door first and then someone else going “SECOND” as he gets to the door as number 2. And then a little later another batch of kids comes and it will repeat. It’s a great honour to reach the door first obviously. And just knowing that there are people and continuous activity there during they day, I feel like that might keep burglars away. A little. In my imagination anyway. Of course the place being empty at night keeps no one away. But then I am almost always at home at night. Also there is the fact that you know what you have but not what you’ll get. I’ve been happy with them as neighbours. If they are gone then probably some regular family will move in. And they might have hoodlum kids with drugdealing friends and loud heavy metal music and elephants for pets. Or worse, they might be nice and friendly and want to socialize! Aargh! The horror! But we’ll see what happens with that as well.

And now day over.
