Tired. Yeah. No longer feeling sick. But a certain tiredness and apathy lingers. Sometimes the day seems a waste no matter what I do…

But let’s not get all pessimistic. At least no one has blown up my car. Mostly because I don’t have a car, of course. But someone planted a bomb in the car of a police officer who was visiting his family here in Gellerup Parken. That’s where I live, Gellerup. This police officer is an immigrant and a good role model for young second generation immigrants, of which there are a lot here. But some people don’t think that being a productive member of society is a good idea, so they bombed his car to get the idea across. You have to love humans, they are such sensible creatures.

I believe I actually heard the explosion. But it’s fireworks season, so it didn’t especially phase me. I wish they wouldn’t sell fireworks until.. December 30th. I don’t need two months of people walking around throwing mini-bombs.

I did a Google news search to see if I could find an English version of the story, but all I came up with was ”Police seek public help for kangaroo afoot in Denmark”. It’s a man’s life in the Danish police force.

My dad brought me chocolate yesterday. To thank me for the VCR/TV programming. Sweet. I like Chocolate. No, it’s true. I swear. I would not lie about that.

Scrubs is back. For the 7th and last season, as far as I know. I will enjoy it while it lasts. I love their musicality. Today they featured Heartbeats. It’s a lovely, lovely song. I never knew it was a cover, though. The Knife. Pretty cool, and weird. Although I prefer Jose Gonzalez’s acoustic version.

We had a promise made, we were in love. I still get regular google hits from the last time I wrote about that song. From the Sony Bravia commercial. I love all those bouncing balls. I hate when I love commercials, because at some point sooner or later the thought strikes “no matter how cool or beautiful this is, it’s still a prostitute dressed up to sell me products”. I guess I can’t accept commercials as an art form. My loss? Don’t worry, I am still a happy consumer. Loyal to the bank of America.

Here we go again, to the temple of consumption. Stakka Bo in the house!

PS. I love In Rainbows I love you but enough is enough, enough

I think I am finally better now. I am still somewhat tired, but then lack of energy is a general problem for me so I think it’s just… normal.

Today I managed to get up at a decent hour and then I went and saw the goats. Much needed. Nothing makes me happy quite like spending time with them.

Let me share with you the joy.

The buck, looking out. He is a weirdo. It still seems like he doesn’t know how to bite. If you offer him an apple then he’ll try to suckle on it. But if you give him a bitesized piece then he’ll chew it just fine. He also seems a little afraid sometimes, sometimes when you walk towards him he’ll run away from you. But then other times he’ll come right to you and he has no problems with being touched at all. Also his ears are the longest, ever.

Magnethe on the bench.

Vanilje enjoying a good bunch of hay. The other goats will typically eat the hay from below when its put in that holder there. But of course Vanilje loves to jump up on things with her front legs, so she’ll eat from the top.

That’s a funny picture of Mads and Magnethe butting heads. The goats are (mostly) in focus and the rest of the world is blurry. It kinda makes it look like an action shot where the whole world is shaking as they clash horns. Look at the bigger version to fully appreciate it. I wish the goats had been completely in focus, then it would have been an awesome shot. You should add your own sound effects. Like “KAPOWW!!”.

More fall colours. Lovely leaves. I like that hedge there because it has both brown, green, yellow and inbetween sections. Almost like stripes, vertically. Again you might want to look at the big version to see it properly.

So that was really nice, getting out and about after the last few days where I have barely been out of the bed. At least that’s how it seems.

After seeing the goats I went to my parents’ house. I had promised to set up the TV and VCR. The channels were out of date. I ended up having to re-program both machines. Ages of inputting channels. Boring, monotonous work. Not only did I have to program the 50+ channels twice but I also had to type in the channel names twice. When I was done I felt almost like I was sick again. My kingdom for a bed. My energy is always quickly drained.

Yesterday my dad was over at my place. I got some good stories from his past. He collects stamps. And he told me about how he got started. He was just 13 when he started it. And he had some other funny stories about his childhood and Greenland. It was really nice to hear. I barely know anything about my parents and how their lives were before they had me and my brother. I have much to learn.

But that’s all for now. Don’t let the ghouls get ya. Happy halloween, pumpkineros.
