Bug Hunting
Since I'm way behind Ryan, and Nook's store in my game hates me, I was forced to bug hunt all day today in order to pay off my house. Usually your main source of income in the game is fishing because it is easy, fish are all over the place and they're very valuable. Bugs on the other hand, are somewhat rare, usually not as valuable and harder to catch. They require more hunting and better timing. Luckily, I had mad awesome skills and between selling seashells and catching bugs I managed to pay off my house. Tomorrow I should have a nice big home to keep all my crap in. I haven't been able to get my house all feng shui'ed and appropriate for the Housing Judge people, because every piece of furniture I get is from a different scheme.
I also have the problem of the animals in my town asking for fruit which does not grow in my village, or in this case peaches. Somehow one of them gave me and apple, but that still doesn't solve my dillema. Ryan doesn't have peaches either. I think we can relate this to Marvin Harris' theory of intensification. But instead of depleting resources, those resources just don't exist. So in order for me to get peaches I have to sit around and wait for one to magically appear, or find another town/person playing Animal Crossing who has peaches. Yeah, not going to happen. Naturally this scarcity of fruit causes Nook's store to pay more for it. I'm currently growing an apple tree from the fruit I got from one of the characters. Hopefully it'll make it. The tree is a little shrub right now and by tomorrow it should be full grown. Playing this game in real time without time traveling is seriously annoying. Everything is less immediate, and waiting and scheduling your real-life around your AC life becomes a priority. I almost skipped class today to check out Nook's sale at his store. Naturally, Nook didn't win out.
The color red is phenomenal.

Some bastard in my town keeps asking for peaches too. Damn. We need to find a peach somewhere.
w00t.
Hey, I got a peach today! I'll share them with you when the tree grows up. Some random animal just gave me a peach. Do your animals do that?
