I moved in slow-motion today. Or maybe everything else was just in high-speed. Cars buzzing by, people chittering like chipmunks. Only the goats were as slow as I. Our own little time bubble.

Although Mads gave me a bloody nose. Bam. Okay, it didn’t bleed. But it hurt like hell and I’m sure my nose was very red. I think I was lucky that his horn didn’t catch my nostril, I could have been in real bad shape. I was sitting down with Magnethe on my left and Mads on my right. And Vanilje in front of me. And I had an apple in my hand, I was letting them bite from it. I knew, of course, that Mads would want the apple for himself. And that he might try to scare Magnethe off. But it still caught me by surprise when he pulled his head down and then thrust it upwards, hitting me right in the face. Ouch.

I was groggy there for a while. He packs quite a punch. I still love the little guy of course. I am prepared to take a punch or two, without the goats I’d be miserable.

Other than that, business as usual.

Mmm. Warm soup and cold cola. That goes well together. For a freak like me. Especially on a cold day like today. Positively winter today.

I have added a new and final page of Oblivion screenshots. here. It contains spoilers for the end of the game. But also some fun stuff, like drunk goblins.

I just spent the better part of an hour cleaning up my wordpress system. Removing spam. I went to make a backup of my database and found the comments section to be over 100mb big. Geepers. WordPress has a function where you can flag messages as spam. I figured that when you did that the messages would be deleted. They don’t show up on your blog. But it turns out the comments are still stored in the database. So I had about 100,000 spam comments stored away. Took ages to delete.

Also found a few messages that had been wrongly tagged as spam. A couple from Anne. Don’t know if you’re still reading, but I remember that you said your computer had some problems with the blog. Maybe it was just the spam filter after all.

Also found one from Debbie. From the beginning of the year. Must have been one of the first you left. It was quite personal. I wasn’t sure whether to bring it up now, but I just wanted to say that I appreciate your support and friendship, and I’m sorry I didn’t get to see that comment before now. Some day I’ll find my way to New Mexico.

But for now I’m going to find my way to bed. Tomorrow is another week.
