Ok, for those who do not know it yet: I went to America,
Whee ! :)
If you don't know it, then how the hack did you get to this page
( get the pun ? nudge nudge? It is past midnight here, i make
no claim at coherence)
The first part of the journey I stayed in Madison Wisconsin with
Ashryn, Jag, RaiC and Aryntha.
Well, actually with their players, but characters are probably
better known.
Artist household is neat! I love the creativity, which is why
I did a sort of picture journal.
Because I love you all. :) Well, most of you at any rate.

Artist kitty arrived at Madison,Wisconsin, after a 35 hour
long day. Traveling time zones is weird...

There are ways to wake me up though.. Sometimes the constraints
of the material world give rise to strange and primal urges in
us. Especially when the pipe is blocked up ^.^

This picture is no exaggeration! They *honestly looked like
that. And those were my precise thoughts at that moment: "
I'm never gonna eat again in my whole life!" Well, actually
i guess i thought it in German... But you must imagine... this
was at a Denny's. Spacious seats folks, *spacious!
I could have sat in my own lap and have enough room. With some
to spare! those two.. ladies had to squeeze in and the table pushed
about 5 inches into their bellies.
MY GOD !!!!

This helped to reconcile me with the American way of life again
tho ^.^
Taking a walk through downtown Madison, on the main street (?)
we met a group of tipsy ( Ashi says 'drunk') young people with
a plastic stuffed deer (yes, true). The leader climbed this weird
concrete pedestal that is at the end of the main road ( Which
they put there probably for some cunning wisconsinian reasons,
you cannot get the natives to tell you ) and demanded an instant
parade, trying to lure us in ^.^

When on the way to an early warning tower we drove by this
*huuuge prison ( of course they called it a Correction Facility,
American people are funny ^.^) and Ashi, Jag and I joked about
breaking into it, but then decided to simply get the T-shirts
and pretend that we did. Oh damn, now I told the secret plan!
0:)

On one evening I did authentic Austrian food, and since Rai
is vegetarian I chose Krautfleckerl. Aryntha sort of mumbled around
and didn't want any, claiming he wasn't hungry and yadda yadda
yadda. Due to the discussion we had just before i explained to
him that if he won't eat them then I'd have to bomb the $h*t outta
him. Well, i had to :) Actually it turned out later that he doesn't
like white cabbage and didn't want to tell me for fear of offending
me. Geez! It would have offended me way less than avoiding it
for 3 days. Oh well :)

Kitty exploring the Outback. oops, wrong continent. err...
the lush tropical rain forest? no? Hm, how about just this little
grove of trees in the vacant lot down the street? It was nice
tho! The green in the Midwest is slightly different green than
in Austria. It was weird in general, things are so similar but
with small differences, it felt less than a different country
than that i woke up and had somehow during sleep slipped into
an alternate reality where things are just *slightly off... o.o

Hee.. since it was more usual in this household to go out for
dinner, but due to monetary concerns I started doing the cooking
at home, and brought wildflowers and such... Kitty mommy ^.^
Well, I am almost ancient enough anyhow :p
