My sleep pattern was weird yesterday. Up early, nap, long sleep from middle of the day till middle of the night. Up around 4 am in time for Lost and some kind of dinner/lunch/breakfast hybrid. Then sleep again from 7.30 till 9.30. And I woke up rested and fresh, feeling good. Go figure. Now I wonder if I should try to copy those times and see if that’s the way to get good sleep. But I think I will settle for staying up during the day and sleep during the night. For now at least.

Watched Garden State, which was not quite what I thought it was. But it had New Slang and I love New Slang. One of my favourite songs. And take note that even though Zach Braff is in it, it’s not a Scrubs youtube video. Hmm, I wonder if the two month ban is over by now?

Actually I have something to say that’s sort of related to Garden State. Well, not the movie. Part of the plot. Sort of. I’m not even sure if I have mentioned it. I don’t feel like discussing it right now, though. I just wanted to give you something to speculate about. Hmm.

Made stegt flæsk today. Pork. Was not entirely succesful. I looked in through the glass door of the oven and it looked like it was not done. Then when I took it out I found that I had been the victim of some kind of optical illusion and it was in fact quite overly done, and done much. Still it wasn’t uneateable, and that in and of itself is a small victory.

Uneateable? I mean inedible. Of course. Pardon my inner dictionary, it seems to be slightly out of askew. Gobble gobble, fishies.

I think I got money back for my heat/water/energy expenditure. I pay a fixed amount every month, and then at the end of the year either there will be a bill or a reimbursement. And although the statement is a little confusing, it does seem like I am using less than I am spending. If you know what I mean. Anyway, the important thing is that I didn’t suddenly get a huge bill because I used too much water or electricity or heat. I was a little worried. I guess it’s that whole thing about coming from living at home where you don’t give it a second thought and then to living on your own and suddenly every time you turn on the tap you think “hmm how much water am I spending”. But it looks like my shower habits are no problem. It looks like I can turn the heat up a little. It looks like I can leave the computer on overnight once in a while. And not worry about going broke.

That being said, I’m not going to go nuts and not care about my habits. Be responsible! Think about the environment! Recycle! Gobble gobble!

So today was laundry day. But I also managed a quick trip to the playground.

See, yesterday the phone rang right as I came home from my playground visit. It was Alice, asking me if I was planning to stop by the playground. D’oh. She hadn’t seen me when I was there. That’s what you get for hanging out with goats all the time and forgetting to say hello to the humans… Anyway, she needed me to sign some papers. And those papers had to be mailed off today, Wednesday, at the latest. So I had no choice, had to go to the playground. How horrible! Haha. So this morning I started the washing machines and then went off to the playground while they did their work. I got the papers signed. And I was there quite early, so I helped open up for the goats. They didn’t feel much like going outside though, since it was raining. No weather for a goat.

Oh and guess what I found out? The buck has a name. It’s Poul. How about that. I was under the impression that he had renamed nameless. But not so. It came up in conversation with Alice. We were talking about Magnethe. She’s going to be having kids in the next couple of weeks. So my calculations were not far off. And while that goes on, Poul is going to be loaned out to another playground. Where he’ll get to have fun with another lady boer goat. He’s living the good life, Poul. Lots of lady friends.

I can’t wait though. Soon, soon, soon. Goat babies. Oh boy. That’s going to be sweet.

Less sweet was the fact that someone had thrown a big stone through the glass in the front door at the playground. At least they hadn’t broken in and stolen anything. But it’s still so senseless. Vandalism. The playground has very little money to begin with, now they have to pay insurance and new glass. Just cause some kids think it’s fun to throw stones through windows. Stupid.

But let’s think positive thoughts instead.

Positive Mads.

And the soon-to-be mama again, Magnethe. Stretching.

So tomorrow was supposed to be Lost day. I forgot about the time difference. In Denmark, Lost day is Friday. But almost there anyway. I’m hankering for new episodes.

And that’s all for now, folks.
