I didn’t actually do all that much today, even though I played for over an hour. I started by warping to Imperial City, and entered the Arcane University. After talking to some bloke there, I was promoted to Apprentice, and gained 10 more Gamerpoints (570 now) and another Achievement. I was then given pretty much free run of the University, and so explored it a bit. There was a Library, full of books (obviously). Reading many of them boosted my …

As well as that, I hit the top-3 again for some of the tests, getting an ACE 16 second time for Calculations x20. Also did one of the sudoku puzzles, seeing as I haven’t tried any of them in what seems like ages.
Platinumness Get! Hurrah! I don’t know what it entitles me to, but I’ve got it anyway. No more moon-buying for me! Excellent. Also excellent was the fact that Margie has decided to stay. And she was very pleased with the Regal Vanity I gave her today when she asked for White Furniture. Robin is after Blue stuff, Dirty Bunnie wants Pink (f’nar), and Friga wants houseplants. Can’t they do their own damn shopping? Also found a few more things for …
Another “Long Game” this evening, again against my wife. I won again, mainly because I kept guessing all the questions I knew she’d know the answers to, essentially stealing her points. ACE!
Since I was in Anvil anyway, and Crowhaven was just a short walk away, I decided to follow up the Grey Prince’s quest, and find out about his parents. Worked my way through the dungeon of Crowhaven, and killed Lord Lovidicus. Found his diary, and then worked my way out. I took a wrong turn on the way to the exit, and found myself being attacked by a Vampire Knight. Erk! I’d heard that catching Vampirism was a Bad Thing, …
Not much to say about my scores again today, except for the fact that they were all pretty good, and overall I managed another Brain Age of 20, getting just a whisker from the bottom of each of the three scoreboards. No “8 is not 6 or 2” issues today, either.
What a day for new stuff in Cheese! It was chucking it down, so I thought (once I’d done my “chores”), that I’d go fishing for the first time in about two months, mainly in the hope I’d get a coelacanth. I didn’t, although there was a HUGE fish, complete with shark-like fin and everything. I thought I’d stuck lucky (but Lucky was still ill, aha!), until I caught it. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be an …
Played another “episode” with my wife this evening, and chose the long game. This made each of the rounds longer than in the short game (as you’d expect), but also added some more rounds. I won. ACES.
I started the game at Weatherleah, and decided to head to Skingrad to progess the Nirnroot quest, as I had enough of the herb to do so, and it was just a quick cross-country job south from where I was. It didn’t take more than a few minutes, but I found both a wayshrine and an Oblivion Gate along the way. Erk. After speaking to Nirnroot Man in Skingrad, and finding he now wanted another 20 of them, I thought …
No! Margie is trying to move out! That will not be permitted. To try and convince her to stay, I sent her TEN letters, begging her not to move away from Cheese. I spoke to her loads as well, and told her not to go. She will stay. I hope! Bought everything from Nook again too, and ordered a few more moons. I have about 1,700 points left before I’m a Platinum member. No turnip sellage today, although Nook offered …
No issues today either, meaning my 26 the other day was just some kind of blip. Or Satan possessed my DS, or something. Yes, that’s the most likely explaination. So today’s Brain Age? A totally perfect 20, of course!
I got this today from my brother. He’d bought it for my birthday, but that was a few weeks ago. Never mind! So my wife and I played three Short Games. It was surprisingly good fun, actually. There were a few questions where neither of us had even heard of some of the artists mentioned, but that didn’t really matter. Of course, I won all three games, although I nearly lost the third one and had to claw back victory …
Did plenty of stuff today. Aside from the usual moon and shopping shenanigans, I visited all my animals and talked loads to them. I was hoping to get another picture from one of them, but no. I’m “good friends” with most of my animals now, especially Friga, Nan and Margie, but none of them want to give me their picture. Stupid animals. Lucky was sick again today, so got him some more medicine. I hope he dies. I also hope …
Aha! Much better today, and no silly 8 misrecognisation problems either. I’m sure the game just hates me sometimes. Anyway. 20 seconds for Calculations x20, a new entry on the Top 3 for Number Cruncher, and a reasonable time for Maze Thingie gave me a Brain Age of 20. Hurrah!
TWENTY SIX? WHAT? Rubbish. I can see why I got such a bad score (well, bad in comparison to the last two weeks or so, anyway), but it wasn’t my fault. I did extremely well in Calculations x20 (17 seconds!) and the maze thing (second place), but then Number Cruncher simply refused to accept my number 8 for a good minute or so. I really should have just turned the DS off and started again, but no. STUPID.
