Shortly after starting up the game today, I saw Saharah the camel. However, she has a strict “no homeless” policy so I can’t get anything from her this time.
I then saw a new house, it must be Tex. I wasn’t sure what kind of animal to expect with a name like Tex. Maybe a bull? Boy, was I wrong. A penguin. I’m guessing the name is ironic. Buy WHY do I keep getting all the ugly animals?
Back outside, I dug up a fossil…and took an accidental picture. I dug u!
I talked to Harry (as Yuka eavesdropped) and he was telling me about the basics of the game: Sell fruit and seashells for money. Yeah yeah, I know the routine, Mr. Mustache.
I found the money rock today, and it really paid off! I got eight hits in, for a total of 16,100 bells! That’s a big chunk of change!
I then took my newfound fortune to Tom Nook. I easily had enough money to pay my 10,000-bell debt. That means my house will be ready tomorrow! Awesome!
Since I still had money left over, I went to see what Nookling Junction had for sale. Unfortunately, the tools were the same as yesterday’s. I already have a fishing rod and shovel; I just need…everything else.
But I bought the fortune cookie and got fortune #32:
Ooh, that makes me want to play Mario Kart. I redeemed my fortune for…a kart! Best 2 Play Coins I ever spent!
There is a slight problem with the kart though…I can’t see it. You can’t place items in a tent, or even go inside, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow before I can take a look at the kart.
UPDATE: You actually can go inside tents. But I was just trying to walk right in, like you would on GameCube, and that doesn’t work. You have to press the button to open the door as if it was a house. My mistake!
I walked over to the Able Sisters next, and they had some basketball shorts. I bought them, so I could change out of those Varia Suit pants I had been wearing. No offense to Samus Aran or any other spacewomen out there, but those pants did not look good on me. I like these shorts much better.
Later on, I found a dig spot and I was about to dig it up. And then I fell in it instead. I guess I won’t be adding a second pitfall seed to my inventory today. I noticed that we now sweat when we’re struggling to get out of a pitfall.
As I was jumping out of the hole, I heard something…a balloon present! Of course I have no slingshot, so I could only hopelessly stare up at it. I will never know what item it contained.
After that, I decided to do some river fishing. I caught five new fish, including a koi.
I also followed the river to where the waterfall emptied into the ocean. Even though I didn’t catch any fish right here, it was nice to see the waterfall and the ocean waves in the same picture.
That’s all for now, but check back soon. Tomorrow, I’ll be back with another update. I’ll get my house tomorrow, so I’m a little excited. Thanks for stopping by!
