My little Animal Crossing-sim character worke up with a bad case of bed-head after two weeks. By the time my sister’s character wakes up, she’s likely to have grown a full Gandalf-length beard. I’m almost prepared to wake up her character prematurely just to see her reaction.

I’ve officially been away from Animal Crossing: City Folk for over two weeks now…partially out of a conscious desire to play other games, and because I’ve been too lazy to get back in. The last time my sister returned to the game after not playing it for a while (it was her 17th birthday present, and I’ve seen her play it a total of three times in the two months we’ve had it), her character got a serious case of bed-head. I hope that doesn’t happen to my character…that takes a lot of money to fix at the barber shop.

Well, okay. It’s been more of a generic beginning of the week so far, but I’ve still been more productive than I usually am at this time of year. In the last 36 hours, I’ve managed to pay off my debt in Animal Crossing: City Folk by selling fossils, got back into the groove on Sigma Star Saga (a shoot-em-up/RPG hybrid for the Game Boy Advance) and reached the halfway point, and made it to Chapter 2 in Avalon Code without any major screw-ups, not that I have a better understanding of how the game system works. For my next trick, I’ll figure out just where that silly gear goes in Trace Memory…

It’s too bad that you can’t say “I paid for my mortgage by selling turnips” in real life, because you’d get laughed at all the way to the nut house. That is, unless you’re playing an Animal Crossing game. I managed to make over 10,000 bells in a week by growing one of those red turnips that are only sold on Sundays. I only needed to pay off 4,000 by that time, since I had made most of my money selling fish and unneeded fossils, so I put the rest in the bank for when that bastard Nook tries to stick me with another mortgage (Krusty voice) FOR MY BIGGER HOUSE!

To end 2008, our family rang in the new year with one less person at the living room table, since my brother moved out to Phoenixville in early January. He’s probably having a hell of a time with his girlfriend right now, so if you’re out there reading this, bro: take it easy, remember to get seven hours of sleep every day, and the pie was delicious…sorry Alexis and I ate it all.

I had set up a new game in Animal Crossing: Wild World for the express purpose of seeing what would happen when the clock counted down to 12:00:00 AM, January 1, 2009. The fireworks and music changing to accommodate everything were cute, but it’s kind of a bummer only having three people in town besides myself and the mayor to celebrate. Too bad Tom Nook and the sisters at the clothing shop close up at 11…they could have joined in the festivities, too. Oh, well. Maybe if I decide not to nuke my town by the end of the year, things will be a little more festive.
