Haha. Apparently it was an accident, but I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if Mads had gone up to the horses and slyly whispered &#8220;if you bust us out of here I&#8217;ll make it worth your while&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The goats were quickly rounded up, though, and put inside. And the next day the fence was repaired. Short, fleeting freedom.<\/p>\n<p>I must admit that I somewhat miss the days when the goats were allowed to just walk around freely outside. It was always fun to go to the playground and wonder where they&#8217;d be, to go around and look for them. And to have them run to me when they saw me. They still come to me when they see me now, but it&#8217;s not the same when there is a fence between us. <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll bring some carrots and bribe the horses to break down the fence more often.<\/p>\n<p><a HREF=\"http:\/\/plume.dk\/pics\/displayimage.php?pos=-2857\"><img WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 SRC=\"..\/pictures\/thumbs\/2006\/060217_mathildemagnethehatch_th.jpg\" ALT=\"the hatch\" TITLE=\"the hatch\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mathilde and Magnethe trying to get in through the hatch.

I gotta do it on Monday. Or Tuesday. Soon, at least. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I crosspost blog entries to my livejournal. Today I will do the opposite. In the hopes of getting book recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><i><br \/>\nI am currently reading The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, and am greatly enjoying it. Since I am now reading for pleasure again I thought I would ask for book recommendations. Any great books I should put on my to-do list? Any books a bright, young fellow ought to have read? Due to social phobia and other disasters I pretty much haven&#8217;t read anything since I was a wee laddie.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when I was a kid I was puzzled that reading books was considered schoolwork. I thought it was fun. in Danish class we would go to the tiny school library and pick books and just sit in class and read them by ourselves, and I used to love it because it was so much nicer than actually DOING stuff. Reading wasn&#8217;t doing stuff, it was just&#8230; reading. And when most other kids had read 2-3 books I would be up to 10-12 books and I would feel proud?of myself. I guess that was around the time when I found out that I was one of the more intelligent kids in our class. Not to be conceited or anything. In many other ways I was dumb as a brick. Just look at how my life has gone, ?ntelligence intellischmence. I would trade it all for some shiny pearls.<\/p>\n<p>Also, everyone seems to be loving the new draft autosave on lj. It makes me a little uncomfortable though. I know it&#8217;s just a draft, I know it doesn&#8217;t count for anything. But I still feel like I&#8217;m being held accountable for what I&#8217;m writing. Like I&#8217;m being judged even though I haven&#8217;t even posted this yet! You know there&#8217;s some echelon gnome sitting somewhere reading your autodrafts, you just know it! And he&#8217;s laughing and saving the worst stuff for the office party where all the little echelon gnomes dance around a paper mache figure of Napoleon I CANT STAND IT!<br \/>\n<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weekend has arrived and it is time to catch up on a few things.
