Most of my fruit had grown back today, so I went and sold it all. That made me about 120,000 bells, and I got another 20,000 from fossils and a few bits of furniture that animals gave me for talking to them and from balloon presents. Some of this money went on cleaning Nook out again. Pierce has moved out, not that I care as he was rubbish anyway. Nan the Goat from my wife’s town moved in, however. My …

I played the first level for a bit to try and get a bit higher up my friends-list leaderboard. I managed it, getting a time of about 15.5 seconds, but the leaderboards are completely messed up and make no sense at all. I’m ranked higher than some of the people I’m lower than, and have worse times than some of those I’m higher than. Also tried to get the Easter Egg on one of the levels where it’s floating about …

Just a quick go to pop over to see Lyzzy and swap paintings with her. Someone called Myrtle was in her town too, and so the painting-swapped was complicated a little more as she added them all to her catalogue.

After yesterday’s TRIUMPHANT Brain Age of 20, there was nowhere else for my immense brain to go. Except down. And lo, 25 was today’s age. OK, so it’s still good, and better than my real age, but I’m a little unhappy with it. However, I quite impressed with myself for getting my second fastest ever time for Calculations x100 – only I did it on newly-unlocked Hard Mode instead of the usual one. I am BEST. Except for the age …

Turnips were a rubbish 93 bells today (so if I’d sold them, I would have made a huge 1 bell-per-turnip profit). I had no fruit to harvest either, having harvested the lot yesterday and Saturday. As a result, money made today was a bit on the low side. Visited Talisker in Skye for a bit, and Red (and Redd) was there too. Didn’t have a lot to do there though, and as someone tried to join the game crashed. Tch.

My wife came over to Cheese briefly to add Lyzzy’s paintings to her catalogue and talk to the animals. I dug up some more gyroids (which I couldn’t physically put in my house, so had to get rid of some furniture) and two more fossils, both of which I already had. Fossils seen a bit thin on (or rather, in) the ground at the moment. Also sent some letters to some of my animals, to try and be “best friends” …

20! BEST! EVAR!! Even though Dr. Kahunamatata (or whatever his name is) almost caused me to smash my DS by telling me it was 72, before explaining he’d made a mistake. I hate him.

After today’s playing, I’m very nearly 24 hours into Oblivion. And, I’m still nowhere near properly beginning the game, let alone completing it! All of today’s action took place in Bruma. I’ve talked to just about everyone, and bumped up my Speechcraft skills by persuding them all. I’ve opened up (and/or furthered) loads of quests, including one where I now need to get myself arrested, another involving a vampire hunter, and all sorts. In the Mage’s Guild, I was asked …

It seems I had only one level left to do, and it was pretty simple as well. I did think, for a minute, that there was going to be a SuckySuck(TM) bit right near the end, as I had to fight a previous boss. Luckily (for the game, anyway), the boss had an extra final form, and then after that there was the actual end of game boss, different to any of the other bosses I’d met already. And, although …

Spent a good hour or so making just over 200,000 bells by selling fruit this morning, and then immediately spent them all (and about 400,000 more from my savings) on 92 bell each turnips. I bought 6,300 in the end – enough to cover all of the “paved area” in front of both my house, and the one in front of Nook’s. Cripes. Lets hope for another 600+ bell sale price later this week, yes? Aside from all that, I …

Visited K.K. Slider to listen to this week’s song – K.K. D&B (which I assume is “Drum and Bass” – I’m not that down, dog). After that, I went and sold a load of fruit (around 45,000 bells worth), and shook loads out of trees but havn’t collected yet since I didn’t really have time as it was getting somewhat late. Oh yes, and best turnip price today (for Those That Need To Know) was a whopping 376 bells. Not …

Completed another four Hard puzzles. That makes 14 of them complete (out of 30), but obviously I still have a stack of Super Hard ones left. One of those that I completed today was really, really easy – four of the nine “puzzles” were completely filled in!

Had some real problems with the games today. I couldn’t really concentrate and so my times and scores were pretty much all down a bit on yesterday. Luckily, my Brain Age tests were all pretty good, and I ended up with an age of 27! I’m a bit concerned about the Reading Aloud test though. I have to force myself to read more slowly, as the game keeps saying I’m reading too fast for it to record the speed, but …

Went online to try and take Lyzzy the paintings she’d ordered that arrived today, but she wasn’t about. Red was, though, so popped over to Tequila to see him. He was also waiting for Lyzzy to swap paintings, so we swapped paintings between ourselves to open up more in our catalogues. I then bought everything in his Nook’s, and took his Link Shirt design, which is ACE. Came back to Cheese then, and found Caroline the Squirrel has moved out! …

I went to Hunstanton today, and in one of the arcades was a House of the Dead 4 cabinet. I put in a pound. 25 seconds later, I was dead. Hurrah!
