Day 3<\/h5>\n

It was raining as I woke up today. I cleared some space just outside my house, and planted some more seeds. As I was working on my farm, I heard a weird noise, a few times. It sounded like a ghost! I suppose it could have been the wind, but it sounded more like a ghostly manifestation than breezy precipitation.<\/p>\n

Aside from the ghostly noise though, I was also noticing some static as music or sound effects would play. It started to get quite annoying. Apparently it’s a glitch, and you just have to restart the game to get rid of it. I did that after the day was over, but in the meantime, I just put up with it as best I could.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I noticed my energy was getting low, so I went over to the saloon. I bought some bread, and ate it…once I figured out how. So I threw it up into the air, waited for it to fall, jumped up, and gobbled it down before it hit the ground. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Eating<\/a>
Some people do this with popcorn. I use an entire loaf of bread.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since it was already getting dark, I went home and went to bread<\/del> bed.<\/p>\n

Day 4<\/h5>\n

The rain was gone today, so I watered my crops in the morning. I then set off to explore a bit. I returned to the tent I visited before, but this time somebody was outside with a campfire. It was an old guy named Linus. Doesn’t he get cold living out here? Good grief. Maybe he can carry a blanket with him at all times.<\/p>\n

The mines were nearby, but some rocks apparently fell and blocked the path. I tried to free the worker on the other side, but it was no use. Oh well. It’s his problem, not mine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Rocks<\/a>Over at Pierre’s shop, I really wanted the backpack upgrade. But I don’t have nearly enough money for it. But Pierre’s also had some seeds for sale. I was hoping for some ice cream seeds, but no such luck. \ud83d\ude09 But I had my eye on potato seeds, so I bought one. Actually I didn’t realize I was only buying one seed until I got home and planted it.<\/p>\n

After working on my farm a bit, I went on to bed.<\/p>\n

Day 5<\/h5>\n

It was sunny again today, and I saw that my first batch of crops was getting bigger. I got a letter in the mail from JojaMart. Apparently the landslide by the mines was their fault! It was a result of their nearby drilling! So basically, I had Joja on my mine. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

The good news is that they have cleaned up the mess, so I was able to check out the mines today. Inside, there was a man named Marlon. He wears an eye patch, and he gave me a rusty sword for some reason. But aside from the strange guy with the sword, this seems much like the mines you find in some Harvest Moon games.<\/p>\n

\"Mining<\/a>You can smash rocks and dig in the dirt to find ore and other goodies. But since my inventory was full and I couldn’t keep everything I dug up, I didn’t stick around for long. I made my way back to town, and I saw the mayor Lewis peeing<\/del> standing near the fountain.<\/p>\n

\"Lewis:<\/a>
Yet you didn’t mind it being a disaster zone for the past XX years?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Haley was nearby, and I tried to talk to her. But the game flat out told me that she was ignoring me.<\/p>\n

\"Haley<\/a>When night fell, I headed over to the saloon. It was the busiest that I’ve seen it, with over a dozen people inside. I took a look at the jukebox; you can choose the song that plays. I also spoke with everyone…well, at least everyone that would speak to me.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>After that, I checked my journal and saw that I have now spoken with 27 of the 28 people I’m supposed to meet. I have no idea who I’m missing, but I’m sure I’ll run into him\/her eventually.<\/p>\n

Once I was done at the saloon, I returned home and planted a few more seeds I had leftover. I then went to bed for the night.<\/p>\n

Other Notes<\/h5>\n

As you may have guessed, I’ve decided to continue making blog entries for a while, at least. The videos will also continue. Here’s one showing some of the highlights from Days 3-5.<\/p>\n
