Pants and Games
Two great tastes that taste great toge–okay, please don’t eat my pants or my games.
I made a pair of these out of one of Dad’s old T-shirts this morning. They’re very comfortable.
Also, I was poking through the Wii section at Best Buy this afternoon and found Lego Star Wars for $20. Well, I figured, $20, what the hell.
Oh God, I love it. It doesn’t even pretend to be HOMG SRS STAR WARZ GAEM. Starting bar brawls in the Mos Eisley cantina just for the hell of it is great fun–just walk up to some random character, whack him with a lightsaber, and watch mayhem erupt. Then do it again. And I just went through the “Escape from Naboo” bit of Episode 1 playing as Darth Maul and Indiana Jones. Bonus lulz: I got True Jedi with them. And a certain part of the end of Episode 1 loses a great deal of gravitas when a dead character literally has a x_x face.
And finally, here’s a fresh batch of Animal Crossing pics, guest starring spacemantis@LJ!
- I say again: pigeon milk.
- Rahm Emanuel would not approve of this
- Shax comes to hang out and bring me peaches and let me rip off some coconuts! Fnordton is no longer a one-fruit town, many thanks to you, sir.
- I then visit Shax’s town. I’m jealous–he got the castle gates. Also, that flag is awesome.
- My new look isn’t disturbing at all, oh no.
- Well, this answers two questions–that being, how long it would take for animals to start walking around in my designs and which one they’d pick first. It might also explain why Jay’s been talking about working out and then sending me on covert missions to buy him persian coats and crewel shirts.
- And finally, I has a T-rex.
LEVEL UP
Chaobell has learned a new skill: make boyshorts out of old T-shirt!
There was this pack of boyshorts I got at Target, and they were so nice and soft and they fit so well and they weren’t baggy, and I’ve never been able to find them again and they’re about to fall apart in the wash. So I took a pair of them apart and used that as a pattern to make a new pair. Needs a little more work, but I has wonderful underwear again.
Also, I seem to be fighting off a cold. Feh.
I–I don’t think that’s milk
I didn’t screencap this, but… Brewster? I’m reasonably sure pigeons don’t lactate, I don’t know what part of a pigeon you’ve been pulling on to get that pigeon milk, but–wait, shit, did he just go “coo” at me?
…D:
MOVING ON
I dug up some gyroids today! They’re sitting in my living room sproinging and clanking.
And this is my new neighbor Monique. She is kind of snotty and I want to set all of her furniture on fire.
Project Runway, here I come
My used copy of AC: Ciy Folk came sans Wii Speak, as I’ve mentioned.
It also came sans instructions, so I’ve been having to figure things out via trial and error and occasional asking of the Interwebs.
I realized today that it never occurred to me to talk to Mable while I was puttering around the tailor shop. And now I know how to make nifty clothes. Which, if I’m interpreting what she’s saying right, may show up for sale in the shop?
…so basically I am turning the Able Sisters’ shop into Hot Topic, I guess
The Fnordton Times-Picayune, Weekend Edition
He asked for a battle cry, okay?
In other news…
- As you may have noticed, I am no longer fugly; I finally made it to the beauty salon before it closed and got myself Mii’d.
- No, this isn’t creepy, not at all. Shades of The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing, anyone? D:
- The Able sisters had this awesome shirt for sale. I had to have it.
- I PAID OFF MY MORTGAGE, WOOOOO. …and this morning Tom Nook is all “o hay let me expand ur house,” and I know tomorrow morning he’s going to be standing out there all “OH HAY DONE WIF UR HOUSE, U GIVE 1000000000000000000 BELLS NOW PLZ” …okay, well, I think it’ll actually only be more like… 100,000 bells or something, oh God well at least it’s a fixed rate.
- My Football Fish on display in its new home. Look at that ugly little bastard, look how happy it looks there.
- I won the fishing tournament today!
- Here’s my trophy, sitting in my eyebleeding pink living room! …I’m thinking at the very least, that washer needs to get cashed in.
- I don’t have any pictures of this, but I discovered last night that money does in fact grow on some trees! …unfortunately, so do BEES
- This morning I found the money rock and pounded the hell out of it. I got up to the 2K bag this time. \o/
- Flea market tomorrow! Speaking of fleas, I have to try and find a flea-infested neighbor because one of my other weird neighbors wants a fucking flea. Which is not as bad as the one that wants me to dig up a specific fossil for him, but still, I have to hit my neighbors with a bug net.
- Man, I hope Tom gets a slingshot in soon, these balloons are driving me nuts.
You guys, you’re still doing it wrong.
Hey, remember that news station in Missouri the other day, the one that ran a dumb story that said there was no reason for adults to play Animal Crossing and the ones who did were probably doing it for [insert drama gopher gif here] THE WRONG REASONS? Y’know, the one where they said Tortimer might be a pedo in California? The one that would have been hilarious if it wasn’t so disgustingly offensive?
And remember how they were responding to complaints about that with “whatev, sorry you thought it was offensive, we might do a follow-up someday”?
They very quietly baleeted the original article. And this is their idea of a follow-up. Notice there’s no video this time–I’m guessing it’s Web-only.
GREAT JORB DOODZ
thar be no bus chanties
Oh wow, even though I didn’t even get the game until the day after St. Paddy’s, I still got the shamrock hat in the mail today.
This is the inside of my shitty little house. One of the town critters gave me that washer in exchange for a shirt I dug out of the lost and found that I didn’t like anyway, and that stove was in the lost and found with the crummy shirt. How the hell do you lose a stove, anyway?
“doop de doo OH SHIT WHERE DID I PUT THAT GIANT STOVE”
…anyway.
Today I planted some trees, caught something the game calls a “football fish” which totally looks to me like an anglerfish, and found the money rock but failed to whack it more than once. Also one of the town critters was supposed to come to my house at a certain time, never did, and then bitched at me for standing him up. Ooookay.
Um.
Chaobell.net’s winning unusual search request of the month:
“does it hurt to wank”
…
…if it does, I’d say you’re probably doing it wrong.
Don’t encroach on my loach
Well, it was on my “next game” short list anyway with Brawl and Dead Rising, Gamestop had it used and relatively cheap sans Wii Speak, which I don’t really want anyway, and all this talk about OMG PEDOTORTIMER gave me a cravin’ so…
…I got Animal Crossing today.
Yep, that’s my house, and that’s my fugly little person. I tinkered with her outfit a little, but that hair has got to go. (God how much do I love being able to take screenshots in-game, stuff them into a SD card, and shoot them right to the computer)
The house is right on the beach with a shitload of apple trees out back! It’s awesome. Except for it being about the size of a matchbox. And then one of the town critters went “HERE HAPPY HOUSEWARMING LOL” and gave me a piano that takes up half the living room.
I’ve finished up my part-time job and now mostly I’m just running around digging up fossils and catching fish to donate to the museum and picking up shells to sell off and stuff.
…so uh friend codes? Mine is 3609-6846-6666, my name is Chaobell, my town is Fnordton, and I promise not to leave holes all over your town or chop down all your trees or anything. :D
