No Sugar Felt Like You

December 13th, 2008

A quiet little day. There was no Muhammed when I went to the playground. Probably too early for him. But lots of sweet animals that I got to feed.

And Nina was in a good mood. When the weather isn’t too good then she likes to stay inside. So when I was done feeding the animals I sat down on the couch with her. Look, it’s a video! She’d make a good breakdancer, that kitty. She rolls around and stretches her paws out a treat.

After work I stopped off in Føtex, the supermarket in the shopping center around the corner. To see if some of my photo stuff had arrived. In addition to the christmas cards I have had some other things made. But some of them seem to have gotten lost in the mail from the digifotostore to the supermarket. Oh well. It’ll turn up I’m sure. The girl at the counter was very nice. She gave me a number I could call so I don’t have to go there in person and check every day if my stuff has arrived. The phone number was apparently her private line. “The call will go straigh to me” she said. For a second I almost imagined that was what it would be like if a girl gave you her phonenumber. For non business purposes I mean.

They have cute girls in Føtex. I have mentioned a cashier girl from there before. I have seen her a few times again lately. She’s really sweet. I know it’s her job to be nice to costumers. But she’s always really nice. And funny. Making jokes and stuff. She talks way more to me than any other cashier I have met. She must be falling in love with me and will soon be giving me her phonenumber. I have no dout.

Yes, Sigrid has competition. The females are all over me. Even when I’m coming straight from the playground and smelling slightly like wet buck. Just call me Romeo, oh Romeo.

Okay, you can stop laughing now.

You And Whose Sugar?

December 12th, 2008

I come bearing pictures. From yesterday’s stop at the playground.

Did I mention that I brought carrots for the goats?

buck

The buck has learnt that when Plume comes around then there is a chance for treats. So he was quick up to the fence. And anjoyed his carrots.

As far as I know he still doesn’t have a name. I have been thinking that with that boxer’s nose of his maybe a boxer name? I don’t know a whole lot of boxers though. Sugar Ray Leonard, is that one? But sugar is bad of course. The only one I can come up with is Tyson. He’s a big, strong goat so that would fit quite nicely wouldn’t it? Although he’s also very mild and sweet and would never bite your ear off.

magnethe

Magnethe wanted carrot too. I love when goats try to squeeze their big heads through small spaces like that. Their nose will poke through and move back and forth. And then it is withdrawn as they realize they can’t go through. And then a second later they will try again. Especially if there are treats to be had.

magnethe

And Magnethe had her carrots.

vanilje

Vanilje got carrots too. But she’s still lowest on the pecking order, so the others keep chasing her away. But then she just has the hay to herself in the back.

Good goats.

My mailbox has been good to me the last two days as well. There was a sweet card from Renae. She has a lovely family. And even though she’s from Australia she is a fan of Brøndby. Which by default means she’s awesome. Also, it just occured to me today that her last name would be a great name for a megacompany in a William Gibson cyperpunk novel. I’m not sure if I’m allowed to say her name so I won’t. Although I almost just did. How cryptic!

Also a card from Selina Enriquez. She is a model. Literally. But not only is she gorgeous she is also extremely cool. She likes geeky things. And she recently made a website called stop spild af mad which means “stop the waste of food”. It’s been doing very well, she’s been getting lots of national press. Radio, papers, TV. It’s very cool. How often do you meet a model who likes geeky things and illustrations and saving the world?

And finally a card and a really nice letter from the Debster and her husband. Thank you very much guys. Deb is one of my favourite people in the world I must say. Before the diabetes thing started I was occasionally thinking that I had nothing left to write about, I considered shutting down the blog. But then I’d think of the Debster commenting on pretty much every single entry and liking the goats so much. And it gave me reason to keep writing. Maybe that’s silly, I don’t know. But you have meant a lot to me, Debbie. And now of course there’s plenty to write about again. Never a dull moment.

So those are some of my favourite people. There are plenty others of course. And if you want to be mentioned in the blog then card me up! I do appreciate you one and all, though. No doubt.

I’m going to leave a christmas card at the playground tomorrow. I still have 3-4 cards left I think, so if there are any last minute takers just get in touch as well.

And to all a good night.

Exercise biked: 26km.
