Our first day! Bunnicula and I are going to (have to) share a town. The Wii and
AC:CF only allows one save-game/one town. Our new town is named New_Hope.
Most of this diary will be photos, as there is now an in-game camera, which is
wonderful!

Thursday, November
20, 2008: It's Bunnicula's turn to
forage for mushrooms today. We're trading off days for that.
I plan to go to
the City again today (I went my first day). I want to get another emote from Dr.
Shrunk. And maybe I'll get a shoeshine, which can change the colour or style of
your shoes! ("Get the cool, get the cool shoeshine..." -- Gorillaz) Ooo, and I
want to get a bubble wand from Phineas! He gives free gifts to all that ask.
I've paid off my
first mortgage and have had my first expansion done on my house. The next
mortgage is a doozy!
Meanwhile I am
being the import/export agent for our town, going far afield to get foreign
fruit. Our native fruit is peaches. I was able to trade for cherries and oranges
yesterday. We still need apples, pears, and coconuts. Bunnicula is going to take
care of most of the landscaping, fossils, and gyroids. We'll probably share in
the fruit harvesting, when we get our fruit factory going.

I started a new
(secondary) character today--of course his name is Sonny, like in my other
games. He's going to help me/us get extra things we might not be able to get
ordinarily.

I went to Jessica's town of Dolaran in the evening. I bought so
much stuff from her shops, I had to carry the umbrella, my pockets were so full!

A day without a shop. Tom Nook's was closed for remodeling. In
the late evening I decided to go around and shake every last tree in town. I got
stung by six different hives of bees; but I got over 2000 Bells + two pieces of
furniture (an asteroid and a Japanese drum) for my efforts.

Neighbours react
differently to "what happened to my face"--Rhonda asked me if it was
contagious and I said, "Maybe". Heh. |

The Harvest Festival! (entry cross-posted from
CountryMouse's Refuge)
Bunnicula and I ran around (carefully) for about three HOURS in our town of
New_Hope, getting cutlery sets from the mayor, Tortimer, then trying to find
where Franklin the Turkey, the dish, errr guest of honour, was hiding each time.
We'd give the dangerous implements to him in exchange for a piece of his rare
Harvest furniture.
I did it for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, then my hands and wrists started
hurting. B. then did it. He must be holding the Wiimote and nunchuck
differently, as he doesn't get tired. Also, it helped having two pairs of eyes
watching behind each tree and building as he moved his character around.
So all in all, B. and I were able to get me a complete set of the Harvest
furniture, plus a few extra pieces (Franklin sometimes gave duplicates). B.
didn't care about having a set (which would've taken maybe another couple or so
hours to get!).
I thought the Harvest Festival was going to end at 6pm, so I felt we were racing
against the clock to get the 10 pieces of furniture plus the matching wallpaper
and carpet. But 6pm came and went and the festival was still going on! We felt
it was definitely time to quit!
Why it's important to get a complete furniture set: it gives you a good rating
with the HRA (the Happy Room Academy), especially if it's a rare set that you
can't just buy from Tom Nook's store. This is a once-a-year chance to get such a
set. The next time will be Dec. 24th, when Jingle the Reindeer comes to town in
the evening. More running around to get more rare furniture! :-D

Friday, November 28,
2008: For a while, in New_Hope, it was cloudy and a bit
foggy. Then it cleared off and we had a bright sunny autumn
afternoon.
