What is Farmtown??? Are you kidding me? Do you seriously not know what this most wonderful game is? It’s an interactive farming game on FB. Jay has likened it to WOW or D&D, but way lamer. You start off with your little plot of green grass, and you start plowing your fields. Then you go to the store and you buy seeds and plant them. There are also trees and animals and flowers …. I know, I know … It doesn’t SOUND like much, but it’s computer CRACK.
The thing is, you have to have money to keep up all this planting and harvesting, and yes, you can sell your harvest at the Market but that only gets you so much. The best thing to do is to hire someone to harvest your fields and then sell your crops … And if you can score a job, it’s moo-lah, moo-lah, moo-lah. There were many a nights I hung out at the Market begging for work so I could afford my next fix, I mean crop…
I can’t sleep some night … What if one of my “buddies” has a crop that needs to be harvested? What if I forget to harvest something and the crop goes to waste? I spent almost an hour yesterday re-designing my farm so that it would be even prettier; then I dreamed about how fantastic it was.
OH. DEAR. GOD. Someone needs to help me…. I just can’t stop! Oh crap, while writing this, I think my raspberries are ready. Gotta get someone to harvest them for me!

So, are you done with your blog after 3 days like me? LOL
ReplyDeleteThis post is hysterical. And sad, but so so true. Was nice chatting with you today :)
ReplyDeleteSo if you are still not working and are living in NYC, here's my advice, after having lived there for 4+ years:
ReplyDeleteF this #$%&ing Farmtown bull%&#$. GO DO ALL THE TOURISTY #$%& YOU CAN DO WHILE YOU STILL CAN. Trust me, this is all of the stuff that you WILL regret having not done when you are working full time and hating your life and spending all of your free time doing laundry. I'm serious.
This includes but is not limited to: The Statue of Liberty. The Empire State Building. The Staten Island Ferry (get right back on the ferry after landing in SI, though). Broadway shows. The Circle Line. The Cloisters. Times Square. The Brooklyn Academy of Music. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Metropolitan Opera. The American Museum of Natural History. Central Park. Battery Park. MOMA. Coney Island. Governor's Island. Hell, even Roosevelt Island. Eat street meat. Go to Macy's in Herald Square. Go to Bloomie's, try everything on, buy nothing. Wander SoHo. Go to the Angelika. Go watch the chaos in Grand Central Station. Go to 30 Rockefeller Center. Go to Saks 5th Avenue, on 5th Avenue. Go explore the East Village and Alphabet City. Go do everything you possibly can before you have a job that ties you down for 10+ hours every day. Please. Go do this all now. Please.
