Kelly really likes to play FarmVille. It’s a simulation game we discovered about a month ago. Like most video games, you complete tasks to earn points and rise through increasingly demanding levels. And, like most video games, it never really ends. She doesn’t win, lose, or die: she just keeps on farming. To quote Wikkapdia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FarmVille), it “is a real-time farm simulation game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social networking website Facebook. The game allows members of Facebook to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops, trees, and livestock. Since its launch in June 2009, FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook with 73.8 million active users in January 2010.” Make that 73,800,002.
Kelly found out this morning that if she were to reach Level Ten in another game, Mafia Wars, she could buy a FarmVille tractor that plows nine plots at a time, is painted like a crazy hotrod, and shoots flames out its engine when it’s working. You know she had to have it. So, we sat around this morning while she figured out how to play Mafia Wars. She died several times, but she got her tractor. She was a bit disappointed that its horn sounded the same as her regular tractor horn. Still, she looks damn fine plowing those fields. Much sexier than she did on her first tractor, a cute little pink number.
After becoming the Queen of the Plow, we trooped off like a herd of turtles to get new ID cards from the Social Security Administration. It will take up to two weeks for them to arrive. These are necessary for transferring our driver licenses from Pennsylvania to Florida.
While out and about, we also made some returns (cha-ching!) and stopped by the local AAA office. We switched our membership to Florida and picked up maps for the Florida panhandle.
