My Animal Crossing Chronicles – 4/09

April 15th, 2009

There’s a lot going on in Coolton this month. Probably the most important thing going on right now is that I’ve decided to chop down all the trees in my town. (Note my crude self-made lumberjack outfit.)

I have decided to do this because I want my town to be as self-customized as possible; I want to know that every tree that grows in the earth in my town is planted by me and not some computerized entity. I’ve gone through four axes. But don’t worry, I’ve remembered to save one of each fruit that can normally be found in Coolton: coconut, apple, peach, cherry, and orange.

Zipper T. Bunny came to town on “Bunny Day” as expected. I think I dug up about thirty Bunny eggs, and got an entire roomful of egg-themed furniture in return. I find it odd that the egg is a symbol of Easter because it symbolizes newness and life, but all the egg furniture I got clearly features the egg’s yolk. I don’t think any life will be coming from a fried egg.

Lastly, I finally donated enough money to my town fund to have a town fountain built. I’ve read on cheat websites that you can get a golden axe by answering some questions at the fountain… Hmmmm…

Quite the eventful month… May will seem dull by comparison.
Also, I caught a zebra turkeyfish… Coolest-Looking. Fish. Ever.

I made a psychedelic-looking Easter egg today that I feel is pretty sharp.

The trick is using Scotch tape.

The Complete Beatles Collection

April 8th, 2009

I am now the owner of every Beatles album officially released (which I consider to be every album on this page). From Please Please Me to Love and everything in between – it’s all on my iPod.
Two-hundred-twenty-one songs were released by the Beatles between the years 1962-70, 1995-96. While scrolling through the list of venerable songs, one word seems to summarize the prevalent idea that the Beatles were trying to get across: love. Interestingly, the first word of their first single (“Love Me Do”) and the last word of their last single (“Real Love”) is “love.” “All you need is love”… “have you heard the word is love?”

Statistics:
Amount of songs released by the Beatles on every album, including post-breakup: 588
Amount of songs released by the Beatles on every album, not including post-breakup: 221
Amount of GBs every Beatles song will take up on your iPod: 1.95
Amount of time it would take to listen to every song: 1 day, 2 hours, 23 minutes, 43 seconds
Album most likely to show up in “Shuffle”: Live at the BBC (69 songs)
Album least likely to show up in “Shuffle”: Let It Be (12 songs)
Song most likely to show up in “Shuffle”: “Get Back” with seven different copies/versions
Number of songs featuring Lennon on lead vocals: 133
Number of songs featuring McCartney on lead vocals: 124
Number of songs featuring Harrison on lead vocals: 48
Number of songs featuring Starr on lead vocals: 14
Number of songs credited to Lennon/McCartney: 161
Number of songs credited to Harrison: 23
Number of songs credited to Starkey: 2
Number of songs credited to Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey: 5
Number of cover songs released: 24

You’re probably thinking, “Who cares? What a waste of precious megabytes.” If you’re thinking that, you are so right. Who needs seven different versions of “Get Back” or five “Eight Days A Week”s or even three “Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey”s? Well, I don’t know who needs those things, but if I ever meet ‘em, I’ll have it all in my pocket.
