My Little Pony!

September 3rd, 2008

Remember that one time I wrote about losing a sock in the laundry? And I was all like “wow I finally lost a sock in the laundry”? Well, the sock turned up today! I was doing laundry, again, and when I took off my bed sheet, there was the suck. Tucked up inside somehow. My bed sheet is way bigger than my bed, and somehow the sock had stayed hidden in a fold. Funny that. Luckily I had kept the other leftover sock, so now they are reunited and all is bliss in Sockville.

It’s a Movie Of The Week in the making.

I had a strange dream involving Pelle, my old classmate. He was a world-famous writer and friends with Stephen King. I was very jealous of that. I always wanted to be a writer, you know. And to hang out with Stephen King. Or Dennis Jürgensen. Man I was a big, obnoxious dumbass when I was a kid. I’m sure they all hated me. Sorry Pelle, and you others.

Speaking of books, I got an email today. From saxo.dk, saying that they have sent out my Eels book. So I should receive it tomorrow. Or Friday latest. I am excited. And relieved. I was starting to worry that it would be sold out or something. But now it’s almost here and I’m looking very forward to it. Things the grandchildren should know. Aparently E’s father invented the parallel universe theory. Or so the blurb says. Which links nicely to The Middleman’s final episode, with its goatee-evil parallel universe fantasmicality. I think I love The Middleman more than any other new show since Lost and Heroes. It’s just so wonderfully full of geekiness. And I love going online and reading up on all the references in the episode I just watched. I’m a geek, but I’m not cool-geeky enough to get all the references. Bless the middleblog. I hate the fact that it will be canceled. Hate, hate, hate.

But enough geekiness. Let’s have some goats instead! One goat at least. In a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbeyF6FcrJo. Magnethe. Just because I can. Nothing much happens in it. Just a lot of goat scratching. I like the start, when she comes up to sniff at the camera. Goats are so curious, they sniff at everything. If you stand next to a goat with a camera then you can be pretty sure that you’ll get a video of a great, big goat-nose right in the camera lens.

(EDIT: Rereading that last line I think I should point out that I didn’t mean that you should stand next to a goat and the goat should hold a camera. YOU should hold the camera and then stand next to the goat. I hope that settles any confusion there might have been. If you ever find yourself “standing next to a goat with a camera” you should immediately ask the goat what it’s doing with a camera and where it got the camera. And possibly if it would mind taking a picture of you for your holiday album)

And a joy it is.

The Sum Of All Goats

September 2nd, 2008

From the people who brought you “Magnethe eats an apple” here is…

MAGNETHE EATS A CARROT!

Bam!

Zong!

Spif!

It’s kinda impressive isn’t it? Have you ever tried eating a carrot without using your hands? It’s probably not easy. Just ask Bugs.

Magnethe wanted all the carrots for herself, which lead to a couple of clashes with Vanilje.

Sibling rivalry. It’s obvious that Magnethe is the older one, every now and then she does a little power demonstration just to make sure Vanilje knows her place. She especially doesn’t tolerate if I give too many treats to Vanilje. And Vanilje obviously knows it. When I’m giving her treats then she always keeps a lookout for Magnethe, and if Magnethe starts coming near then she gets ready to back off. She knows what’s coming.

You will know us by the tail of dead.
