Today: Many pictures. Tomorrow: TMU wrapup.

It beginneth.

Three goats around a Plume. They are probably trying to get revenge for the goat wrestling. “Surely he cannot beat all three of us at once?!”

Mads poking his tongue out. I love their little involuntary reactions to good scratchings.

Magnethe surveying her domain.

And the sisters sharing a quiet moment.

Cutey patootie.

I envy Mads his genes. But I bet he’d have trouble wearing jeans!

The white balance is all screwed, but I had to post a picture of Magnethe in that position. With her leg hanging out of the hatch. Hah. Earlier on I was giving her treats while she was hanging out of the hatch like that too. Too cute she is says I.

And naughty! Sticking her tongue out at the photographer. Horrible quality as well, but schweeet nonetheless.

Happy goat pictures make me smile.

Now the geesers.

Mother goose.

Daddy Honky.

And a wee geeseling. Only three of them walking around, though. I asked Kurt about it. He told me that he had had to put one of them down. It was all wonky and suffering. The vet said it was “chicken disease”. Loosely translated by me. Not to be mistaken with bird flu. But deadly, eventually. The rest of the geeselings started acting like they had it too, but they got better. No shortage of drama.

Tomorrow is the goodbye lunching with the TMU people. Hopefully it will go okay. Cross your fingers. Now go me.

A while ago I mentioned that I was selling one of my old cameras to my mother. It was all a little more complicated than expected because the camera turned out to be faulty. There was a problem with the lcd display. So I had to dig out another one of my old cameras for her. Yes, I have entirely too many old cameras. And I do am planning on buying an Olympus SP-550 once it becomes available in Denmark. But anyhoo. Back in the easter holiday my mother was testing out the first of the old cameras. When my dad was home. One of the test shots was the family men out in our yard. And though I am loath to post pictures of myself, here it is:

Yes, we’re a handsome bunch aren’t we? I am in the middle. My brother, Peter, is on the left. And my dad, Kaj, on the right. Ours are genes to envy. You can click the picture to get a bigger version with more yard detail.

In other news: I am considering buying the domain “madsforpresident.com”. T’would be fun to make a shrine for Mads and promote his inevitable future presidential candidacy. Trouble is that I’m no website designer, so I’d end up with black text on white background and a hundred pictures that have already been posted in this here blog thing. So is that really worth it? On the other hand, a domain doesn’t cost a horse and half. So why not? Decisions, decisions.

Maybe a domain shark will read this and register the domain and hold it for ransom, thus eliminating the need to make any decisions on the matter. I bet sharks are misunderstood. You never see anything but THE WORLD’S MOST DEADLY SHARK ATTACKS on the Discovery Channel. I bet they’re actually gentle animals that love to swim around in circles and recite poetry by native american writers.

Or am I making things up?

B’fore I go, here is a funny youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcXlmJmrG30&mode=related&search=. It’s a video of bloopers from the Danish news on TV2. Most of it will be gibberish to you if you don’t understand Danish. But it so happens that two of the very first bloopers contain pigs. A wiggling piglet and an almost Yvonne sized pig trying to eat a reporter. So that’s good fun to see. Come for the pigs, stay for the gibberish.

I have started watching The Office. About 5 years after everyone else. It’s quite brilliant. I am of course talking about the original UK series. Although the US one seems to be well liked as well. I just don’t get this thing about making US versions of UK series. You have a brilliant tv show, why not enjoy that show instead of trying to make your own? You tried with Coupling and that bombed. You tried with Fawlty Towers, and that bombed. I would dearly like to see the US version of Fawlty Towers. Hah. Anyway. It’s the same with movies. You have some great European flick, like the Danish Nattevagten. And instead of enjoying that you bring the director to Hollywood and let him make a mediocre Nightwatch. Even if the US version turns out good it’s almost always going to be inferior to the original version in some way or other because the original was picked for USisation because of the fact that it was great in the first place. You are standing on the shoulders of giants and bound to fall.

But enough about my viking forefathers. Now I am going to go burn the midnight oil. See yous.
