It was raining again in Forest tonight. I decided to pull some weeds and checked the wishing well to make sure I had perfect town status again.

I found the money rock along the way, but I only got six bags from it (3,300 bells). I’m out of practice, I guess.

After going to the post office to mail a letter (with a fossil I dug up to the museum) and deposit some bells, I headed home to play some Clu Clu Land. Someone on ACC beat my first score, so I decided to try to regain the high score. This time, I realized I could actually shoot the bad guys. No joke, I didn’t realize that fact until now. Well in my defense, it is more of a puzzle game than an action game. But now I know how to do it.

At one point, the game seemed to glitch on me. My character just stood there without moving. I could still reach left or right, but since I wasn’t moving, it didn’t help at all. I ended up resetting the game so that I could start again. After a few tries, I beat my score with 28,870 points.

It was raining in Forest tonight. I checked my mail. One letter was a good-bye letter from Freckles. Another was the Clu Clu Land game I ordered from Nook.

I went to meet my new neighbor, Penny the mouse. She lives in acre B-1, in the spot where Chico once lived. Her catchphrase is ska-WEAK, which is definitely one of the more unusual default catchphrases I’ve seen.

I walked by Kody, who was enamored with a mosquito that was circling around. I let it bite me for his amusement. Although he didn’t particularly seem to enjoy it biting me. He just likes watching it fly in circles, I guess.

I asked Copper about upcoming events, and he told me that Crazy Redd would be in town on Friday. I also checked with the wishing well, which told me my town was satisfactory, but could be better. That’s because I haven’t been picking up weeds. I picked up all the ones I came across tonight though.

I then saw Gulliver on the beach. I woke him up and he gave me a stone coin, which looks like it’s about 8 feet tall. I wonder if I can use it to buy an 8-foot tall gumball.

Ursala then wanted me to play a game with her. You know, the ones where she rips you off. I declined the offer and she got very rude.

I didn’t appreciate her comments, so I started pushing her around until she got pissed off. I wasn’t worried; Gulliver had my back.

After that confrontation, Gulliver was talking about his former loves that he left heartbroken…it turns out, he was only talking about goldfish. From now on Gulliver, I won’t ask and you won’t tell.

After running to the store to sell some things, I went to my house to play some Clu Clu Land. It’s not an easy game to describe. Each level has a bunch of pegs. When your character passes between pegs, it may uncover a coin in that spot. All of the coins in a level make a picture, and you have to uncover the complete picture to clear the level.

There are also enemies you have to avoid in the process, and the controls are quite confusing at first. It’s actually not a bad game once you get the hang of the controls though. I played a few games of it, and ended up with a high score of 15,220 points. I’ll enter this in the contest on Animal Crossing Community. I’m sure I could improve it if I try, but I’m satisfied with that score for today.

Before saving and quitting the game, I checked out the dump. A zipper shirt was there, so I picked it up and put in on. That’s all for now. See you next time.

It was fishing tournament day in Animal Crossing, and Chip was there to judge (and eat) the entries. I fished for about 40 minutes or so, but the biggest fish I caught was a 23-inch large bass. Unfortunately, Kody had the largest fish of the day with his 27-incher.

I also stopped in Nookington’s to order Clu Clu Land (the NES game) from my catalog. Animal Crossing Community has a weekly high score contest, with a different NES game featured each week. I decided I’ll participate this week, so that’s why I’m ordering the game.
