"I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien..."

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:)

 

 

 

There is no picture of this event.
Apart from the badge that Rai drew for me and we will not talk about this.

 

 

 


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
