The Fishslap Dance

Still a little unwell. I have slept a lot. A lot lot. I’m not sure if that contributed to my feeling bad, though. But on the other hand I’m starting to feel better so maybe the sleeping was good for me. In any case I’m not feeling outright sick, like the flu. So hopefully it won’t get any worse.

To keep you entertained while I sleep the days away, here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5vgVnuFdyw. Good old Mads, the selfish goat. I’m giving out raisin treats and he wants them all for himself. I just love those sounds he makes. The grunting/mumbling/groaning outbursts. And how his head swings from side to side, as if he can’t decide what’s more important: getting a treat or keeping Magnethe away from the treats. Oh Mads, oh dear.

I didn’t get a chance to check up on the goats today since, well since I slept of course, so I don’t know if there are any kids yet. But I have asked Per if they would give me a call if Magnethe happened to give birth on a day when I wasn’t there. And I’ve had no calls. So I assume there has been no birth. I said previously that I’d be surprised if nothing happened this week. But it looks like Magnethe is still dragging things out! I think she just likes the attention. Hehe. It’s odd to feel her stomach and realize that there are most likely three little kids rolling around in there, almost ready to come out. I almost feel like putting my ear to her side and see if I can hear them talk in there. They must be doing something to pass the time!

I’m not being silly, thankyouverymuch.

Been feeling a little drowsy. And headachey. And tummysore. Maybe I’m getting sick. Or maybe I had too much soup today.

“Too much soup”. As if there is such a thing!

While signing my hour-slip at the playground today, Alice told me that Jannie had gotten a new job. Something about transportation. Anyway, it might mean that I get to take more of Jannie’s shifts in the weekends. That would be nice. More animal feeding. More good times. And now that I’m retired the money I make at the playground will no longer be deducted from my monthly gains. Not that they pay me a lot at the playground, but it’ll still be nice to actually keep what I make.

As I entered the bus, on my way home to take care of my brewing laundry, I was greeted by a camera crew. Or at least one guy with a camera and a sound guy, with one of those big, fluffy microphones. They were interviewing a guy who was sitting on one of the bus seats. I wonder what that was about? Maybe they were on the hunt for pink, terrorist bunnies.

I have found my next concert. Spleen United on May 30th in Tivoli. Outside venue. I’ve been there a couple of times before. Seen Tina there. And Swan Lee. The transport there sucks, the busses are always crammed. But assuming I feel up to it on the day then I’ll go and have a looksee. It’s a series of Friday concerts and some of other acts have potential as well. Tue West. Veto. Dúné. Figurines. Alphabeat. Rasmus Nøhr. Yeah, it could be a busy concert summer for me. But we’ll see. I’m not a giant fan of Spleen United, but they’re local boys and quite interesting. Their new album is supposed to be synth rock. Aw yeah. http://youtube.com/watch?v=hnWL8goKXsg. Check out ze vid.

I’ll have to see if I can find more minidiscs.

Current music: Eels – Souljacker, Part I (080220)
