Play date #2 - qwerty

Yesterday, I had a date with sweetmre from qwerty and JT and mo.par from lalaland. The only thing is, we never made it to lalaland or to 90210. We were all too busy in qwerty, planting flowers and visiting neighbours. Hopefully we can play again. I want to see lalaland and all her flowers AND I want you guys to come swimming over in 90210.

sweetmre and JT were having a fun time watering Leesh with their golden watering can.

Group pose - sweetmre, Leesh and JT. JT just graduated!

Bill? I don't remember him but he remembers me.

Trying to tan by the beach. Who's the fairest of them all? Sweetmre!!!
mo.par came by after to fix up sweetmre's flowers. She's the gardening expert. She is also a bit more tanned than sweetmre but not as dark as Leesh.

sweetmre and leesh had matching 90210 outfits. It's fashion show time!

Our lovely umbrellas. Luckily it wasn't raining in qwerty (but it was in 90210, it's good we didn't go there)

Side profiles of our outfits. mo.par is so matchy-matchy with hers. Her hair blends in with her outfit!

sweetmre fell asleep so leesh decided to try and wake her up by hitting her with her net.

Play date #1 - Bollywud

Teffy from Bollywud is a new friend of mine. We started off the night by roaming around Bollywud. We went to each neighbour's house. I think this is the most pictures I have ever taken. It's easier to pose and snap a shot when you are playing DS to DS. After Teffy and Leesh went back to 90210 to visit Leesh's neighbours and see her brand new manison.

What cute carpet Teffy has. She got it from Saharah. Teffy is collecting the cabana series,
so Leesh will save any that she gets her hands on.

Benedict says MOVE B1TCH. How sneaky by using a "1" instead of an "I"! Teffy doesn't like Benedict.
He's a dirty chicken. Just look at his gross floor. Teffy taught me that you can tell the gender of a neighbour by the colour of the bubble their name is in.

I can't remember whose house this is but they have the same shirt as Leesh.

Frobert looks like he has some sort of disease. Or a big zit on his face.

Everyone loves Goldie and Goldie seems to love everyone. She greeted Leesh with a big kiss.

While Goldie and Teffy kissed, Leesh decided to take a nap.

Now over to 90210. This is Leesh's new ranch room with ivy wallpaper. Teffy and Leesh had a serious conversation.

Teffy bum rushed Leesh as they walked out of Leesh's classic room into the main room. Kinda freaky!

It's been a long day visitng so Leesh and Teffy decided to take a nap in the exotic room next to the gas pump. Luckily no one was lit on fire.

Teffy had enough bells to get a haircut at Shampoodle. Harriet gave her this lovely cut. Not quite sure if Teffy likes it.

Teffy and Leesh went to visit the newest neighbour of 90210, Tank. He was too busy unpacking so we took a new photo since Teffy is more comfortable with her new 'do.

Last visit of the day was with Daisy. We were scared by this wicked noise she made.

It was a nice visit to both Bollywud and 90210. We hope to play again soon. Teffy is going to try and set up her wifi so we can play any time. Until next time...

AC:WW play date #1 and #2

I have to play dates (as I like to call them) tomorrow evening and Saturday afternoon. This should be fun. Lately, I have been able to play through wifi with some ladies that I met but these upcoming play dates are with friends of mine.

Play date #1 is with SI (Bollywud) - she originally started playing AC:CF and told me all about it but I tried it out on DS instead. Now I have converted her to playing AC:WW . I can't wait to see her town and how she is doing with the switch.

Play date #2 is with MP (lalaland) and MB (qwerty) - I played with these girls back in April. We have not played together since and I am looking forward to seeing how big their houses are and how their town has developed.

Stay tuned for posts about our visits and pictures!

15 minutes of play time

Today, at our scheduled time, I went to Mitsukyo to meet up with Yuki and Meow. I really enjoy playing with these ladies but unfortunately, I was only able to play with them for 15 minutes this afternoon. After when it was time for me to leave Yuki's town, I got lost and couldn't find my way out and then I forgot that I had to talk to Cooper to exit. I was quite embarrassed and couldn't stop laughing at myself. I guess I was in a rush to meet my friend downstairs, I even forgot to turn off my DS, luckily, I had it plugged into the charger. I look forward to our next play date and hopefully I can stay longer than 15 minutes.

New Game: Sally's Salon

Finally, a post about something else other than Animal Crossing. I have been playing Sally's Salon on my iPhone and decided to try out the Nintendo DS game. I can't believe that I am going to say this but after 8 months of playing AC:WW, I need a break.

I like these routine games - Diner Dash, Cake Mania, etc. I knew that Sally's Salon would be to my liking and it will only be a matter of days before I finish this game and will move on to the next new game. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to stop AC:WW, I just wanted something new to play for a change. I have two AC dates - this coming Sunday with Yuki/Meow and then one on Thursday with two girls who are new to AC.

Here are some pictures of Sally's Salon. It's difficult to take pictures while in action because you must move quick in the salon. So these are just still shots.

Here is my first earnings of the game...

What Sally's Salon looks like...so empty, why would people want to even go here?

One of the hairstyles to choose from

After playing for 2 hours last night and an hour tonight, this is what the salon looks like now.
Sally even has two new employees

Short visit to Funky

I think it was on Monday or Sunday night I decided to visit Funky. Everytime I go through the gate, I wait to see if Meow greets me, if she doesn't say anything, I search the town for her. When I entered the gate, I saw all these fossils. I didn't know if they were decoration or for the taking. I just kept on walking...

I finally found Meow in Tangy's house. She was just sitting quietly on a fruit chair. To me, Leesh is tanned. I stood by Meow and Leesh is no where as dark. Leesh will just have to sit out in the sun longer and stop wearing SPF. Only a few more weeks left to tan.

Turnips

This is the first time that I'm posting from my iPhone. It's very difficult.

Today I checked the turnip prices from Nook. Yesterday it was 57 bells, this morning it was 138 and in the afternoon it was 145. I traded 20 turnips at 138 and 10 at 145. Oh what fun!! The best part was I sold my red turnip to Nook and he gave me 16,000 bells!

I am going to buy turnips from Joan this Sunday. Who knew turnip trading would be so entertaining?

Happening in 90210

Here is what's been going on in 90210...

Saturday night, right after the Fireworks show, Brody saw something moving behind the trees. She grabbed her net and quickly swung at it. YAY, finally a scorpion.


While Leesh opened the gates for visitors, all these new insects were floating around. A birdwing butterfly and this emperor butterfly. So pretty. Leesh is learning and is donating rather than selling.


New area in 90210. Leesh, Ross and Brody are starting to get duplicate of bootleg music from K.K. Slider. If you stop by to visit, feel free to take whatever songs are in this area.

More visitors to 90210

Yuki was kind enough to schedule a visit this evening, well evening for her, afternoon for me and that would mean morning for Meow. She is so kind as I can't play on Yuki's scheduled time of Tuesday at 8 pm. I really appreciate that Yuki makes time to play with Leesh!!!

***

Only a couple minutes after Leesh stepped foot in Mitsukyo, guess what happens???

After a second attempt, here is Yuki, Leesh and Pirate Meow.
I didn't get the memo that I was suppose to wear black, white and red.

Leesh asked how Yuki got all her clovers in a line, she explained that the clovers were four leaf clovers.
Leesh thought they were weeds. Yuki told Leesh to pick one up and of course, Leesh was scared.
Yuki finally convinced her and now Leesh has a nice clover in her hair. Thanks Yuki!

Leesh was excited. Now that she finally realized and understood what the Touch Event is all about, Yuki took her to all the carpet areas. I wonder what Meow was doing?

Leesh heard that Kody now lives in Mitsukyo. I guess Kody did sort of remember Leesh.

Leesh got to meet the famous Vesta. She's cute and loves to scream!

Yuki and Meow came over to 90210. This is Yuki's first visit.
Meow was excited that she was going to get to see Roscoe. She loves him!

Leesh walked in on Meow and Roscoe kissing.
Now your secret love affair is out in the open. You can't hide it anymore.

***

But again, wifi crashes. Luckily, Leesh saved...Sorry Meow and Yuki, it took me a while to open the gates again. I probably took too long. Until next time, I hope to see you ladies soon. Meow - I will try my best to make sure Roscoe doesn't move away and thanks for the painting!

UPDATE: Check out Yuki's post about our visits: http://myacwwdiary.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/mhhmm-fresh-clover/

Gold roses

OH MY - Friday morning, Leesh wakes up and finds two gold roses by the gates. They must be from Meow. Thank you so much Meow. I have been trying to grow black roses forever and now I can enjoy the gold roses until a black rose finally appears.

***

See the gold roses on both sides of the picture. So pretty!

Ross caught a Arapaima. Don't worry guys, he donated it and
then caught another one after, which he sold to Nook.

The house has a new expansion, the right wing of the house.
It's decorated with classic furniture, rug and wallpaper.

Meow stops by 90210

It's always fun to visit other towns. Luckily on Thursday night, Funky's gates were open.

Leesh went to visit Meow in Funky and was greeted at the gate with presents all around.
Meow asked Leesh to choose a present. She got a cabana vanity.

Leesh asked Meow if she wanted to see 90210 but warned her that it's really messy because there are flowers everywhere.

Meow and Leesh went for a dip in my pool. Look how dark she is!
I can't get over how much she tans (really, I am just jealous!)

Meow wanted to see inside my house. She was amazed at my huge fish tank.
Do you see Meow behind the glass?
My ocean sunfish doesn't have a name =(

While Meow checked out the rest of the rooms in the house, Leesh decided to take a nap.

Meow told me she also likes Exotic furniture.

Now that I am going to be having visitors to 90210 more frequently, Leesh is going to clean up her town and make it look all pretty. It will take a lot of work but it will be worth it. I want to impress others when they come to visit. But first...Leesh must TAN!

Quick visits to Funky and Dogpatch

I'm still a bit nervous to visit other towns. I am even more shy to explore towns when the character is nowhere to be found. I feel like I am invading someone's personal space. I'll get the hang of it eventually. Tonight, I decided to see if I could visit some towns, Funky and Dogpatch had their gates open.

I found Meow sleeping in the middle of the field. She's so tanned!
I only got to walk around for a bit because wifi crashed.

Dogpatch had the gates open. I thought I would pop in eventhough I only met Thelma earlier this week.
What a nice welcome sign!

I finally found Thelma. See her in the left side of the room, sitting on the couch sleeping?

The upstairs room is my favorite room in Thelma's house. I love how it looks like a casino!

Leesh decided to fish to kill some time. To her surprise she caught a blue marlin.
Should she sell it to Nook or donate it to the museum?
I know what Yuki would say...DONATE! Leesh will do it tomorrow morning.

With the blue marlin in Leesh's pocket, she didn't want to risk a wifi crash so she packed up, mailed a letter and went back to 90210. Thanks Meow and Thelma for leaving your gates open. Too bad you guys were not awake when I came to visit. Until next time...
