A goat with a tin can

So, word around the internets is that our little Bridget’s gonna find herself a goat with a tin can (who goes by the name of Arthur) in Central Park. He’ll be there hanging out at some statue – Eagles & Prey? – at 10:00 am. Tomorrow.

I don’t have the slightest idea what this means, but it’s gotta be big, right?

Right?!

Which is pretty much all the news these days. It must be something pretty huge. Especially now that things are so bad. People think the drummer’s up to something since what with the way he’s banging away. I dunno. I kinda think he does it to drown out the noise. That’s what I’d be doing if I were him. Bang. Bang. Bang. Ha. Ha. Ha. Can’t hear you!

Anyway.

I’m getting pretty excited about tomorrow. Kinda crazy seeing as I don’t know what in the heck is going to go down. All I know is that I’ll be here if she needs me. Then again, it’s not like I got much of a choice what with the way I’m feeling and all. Me and the couch… like this. (though I’d totally cheat on her if I could get my hands on my folk’s lazyboy! seriously! she’s a fine piece of upholstery. just don’t tell the couch ;))

Good morning, uh, sun?

Shit! There is no sun when you get up at 6pm. How in the hell did that happen?

Who cares! It’s fuckin’ awesome! I can’t believe I just slept 18 hours people. EIGHTEEN HOURS! I haven’t gotten that much sleep in a single day since I don’t when. Hell, I didn’t even get that much sleep when they tied me to that hospital bed. Bastards thought they could take me. HA! I showed them. I stayed up anyway! Not today though. Nope. I slept all damn day and I feel amazing. Seriously. I gotta do this again. I mean once you’re asleep, you’re asleep. It’s not like the dream lasts any longer. Well maybe it does. I don’t know. I sure as heck saw a lot. Wasn’t too bad though, really. It most definitely wasn’t like the past couple of Wednesday. I think it was Wednesdays. I don’t know. Plus I was in the woods. They’re a bit freaky and there are things there that go boo! but not really boo! more like EEEEEEE! and GRRRR! and aaaarOOOOOO! definitely not anything a little cat like me wants to run into, but still it’s gotta be better than the stuff walking around the city which makes it a pretty cool place to be.

So, yeah, I kinda overslept. Ha! never thought I’d say that again. I’ve got a mind full of stuff that I want to share, but I am way too wired to sit here and type it all out into anything that anyone but me would understand. I think I need to go off and find me some breakfast and maybe walk off some of this energy and then plop down in front of that map I keep promising.

EIGHTEEN HOURS! Damn I feel good.

I quit!

Yep. That’s right. I totally quit my job last week.

I had five years of living the dream before ditching for a nightmare. You’d think that was a backwards way to live life. You might be right but a boy’s gotta do what a boy’s gotta do and when a hot chick makes an offer you can’t refuse. Know what I mean?

So, yeah, I landed in the city where dreams are made and, maybe, destroyed yesterday. I’m still not settled but I think I got a place to crash. Thanks for the poke Dav – sorry it took a day or so to actually get something up here but I had to find me some wireless. Man, I’m fucking excited to be here. I still can’t believe it. I mean how in the hell did this happen. Out of all the people out there… me. That makes no sense but damn I’m good. Go me.

I know lotsa folks, mountain boy in particular, are a bit “concerned” about my “influence” and “unsure” of my “intent”. Whatever dudes. At least I’m not some fucking moody ass freak with a hidden agenda like someone I know. Yep. I said it. What’s he gonna do? Go psycho? Cry like a little girl? Beg for protection? Yeah, that’d be different.

Max is a bit pissed off by this whole thing. Not because he thinks I shouldn’t be here helping her out, but cause I’d totally recruited him for the Madlands project. WTF dude it’s not like I ain’t gonna be around just cause I’m on the other side of the damn country. Shit, just close my eyes and there I am, you know. And it’s not like the crap we learn there won’t really help me out here. Ok, so maybe it won’t help but it certainly ain’t gonna hurt.

Phase one kinda an into a problem. I wanted to make it up to the mountains to get a good look at everything. I mean it’s not like I can just zoom out or anything so that seemed like the place to go. Buncha wusses wouldn’t go up there with me and, yeah, I’m too much a wuss to head up there on my own. So Max and I went up to the top of the highest building we could find that seemed reasonably safe. It was totally questionable though which rocked. Seriously. Death waiting for you on every floor. Boo.

We divided the place up into about 8 different neighborhoods. He’s working on a map  cause his memory is better than mine. I’ll throw it up on the wall of dreams as soon as he sends it my way. It’s a lot bigger than I really remembered. I’m not all that sure of how to go about mapping it out in a bit more detail. Max wants to hit up the city center first. I dunno. Course I wanna do the harbor area which is just a suicide mission until we level up or some shit. I hate grinding.

So this connection sucks so I should post it before losing it. More later.

Holy crap! I can’t believe I’m here. Unfuckingreal.
