Animal Crossing New Leaf - Day 23

Last Nights Caper
Didn't play. I am going on after tonight's post, though (essentially because I've barely played today).

Day 23

I did sleep in today (well not really, but I spent a long time in the shower so by the time I was ready to play it was already 11:40), but I still managed to catch Joan in time. I decided to take a gamble on turnips this week (and lucky I did). I bought ~850,000 bells worth of turnips, since she was selling them for a low 91 bells.

I also managed to get the bell rock to produce gems today. I'd been waiting for this for a while now (for those wondering, it randomly happens if you use a silver shovel), I just wish I had gotten different colored gems instead.

The notice board gave me two important details; one being Bree's birthday, the other being, as I predicted, Nooklings was closing for expansion tomorrow.

As Bree's house was right next to Main Street, I decided to give her my best before heading on out to the mall. Bree had a celebration going on in her house, though only Gala was invited.

She'd changed up her house and everything just for her birthday (she even had K.K. Birthday playing). I spoke to her and she asked if I had a present. I handed her over a cherry and she seemed to love it.

The Nooklings were also having a closing down sale like last time. I believe everything is 50% off (except fortune cookies).

I didn't strike lucky today with getting the fortunes correct. I only got one correct, which was one I had already gotten, the Red Pikmin.

Instead of handing the fortune in for the Red Pikmin, I kept it for keeps sake.

Shampoodle was under construction as well today, much like I expected. I believe it takes two days to open, I could be wrong though.

At Club LOL, I handed Shrunk over another basket of cherries in hopes he'd give me a nice reaction this time (who am I kidding, he ain't gonna). He gave me the mischief reaction.

Back in town, Mac suggested we build a blue bench. The only bench I really want is the log bench, so sorry buddy, I don't think we'll be building this. Keep suggesting more, though.

With Mac's suggestion reminding me, I decided to go to the Town Hall to celebrate the opening of the cafe.

After checking out its surroundings, I decided to head on in and see what the inside was like. I really don't like the new tune that plays. Maybe I just need to give it time to grow, but it just sounds weird (maybe because it's just a different rendition of the original track?).

I bought a coffee for 200 bells. I've honestly forgotten how many I need to drink before I can order take-out coffee, and how many I need to drink before I can start working. I'm too lazy to check my guide, so I guess I'll just play and find out. I think it may be four of each though, not really sure.

I then headed back to the Town Hall to build another street lamp in the corresponding spot to the other. It should look nice when completed. I paid it off right away, so I'll get it tomorrow. 

Whilst going through my drawers as I was cleaning them out, I came across my large assortment of giant clam shells (I collected them at the start of the game and have a whole drawer full). I then searched through to find the song K.K. Slider had hooked me up with yesterday, and took them both to Re-Tail for Cyrus to make me a nice music box.

I haven't had time to play since, so I've yet to go back and pick it up. Re-Tail is closed now, so I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to pick it up.

I also heard on the grape vine that there were a few towns with high turnip prices (one having 515, and another having 575). Originally I came across the town buying them for 515 bells, but they were charging a 500,000 bells entry fee (no thanks). Then I came across a nice girl (Johanna), who had them going for 575 bells, and wasn't charging an entry fee. I went to her town and sold all my turnips, each pocket full selling for 920,000 bells. In total I made just over 4,200,000 bells.

Unrelated News
I didn't get much of a chance to play today (I did some more assignment work and went out for dinner), and tomorrow I'm going out from 10:30 until late. So I don't think I'll have much gameplay tomorrow. I am planning on being home for dinner, so I shouldn't be home too late. Anyway, that's about all for tonight. Cya!

I'm still working on the dream address advertisement I was talking about yesterday, so don't worry. I just haven't had time to test it out yet. I'm also very very close to 20,000 tumblr followers, so I need to come up with something quick on how to give back.
