Month: March 2013

It’s Wednesday, so I went to the city to check Crazy Redd’s new items. He had a backyard pool, a serene painting, and a steam roller. Even though every room should have a steam roller sitting in the middle, I passed on this week’s items.

I went around watering my flowers. I saw Bob from across the river again, so I waved to him.

Then I made my way around to the beach, where I woke Gulliver up.

I gave him the spaceship part and he gave me another Metroid! It took me forever to get a Metroid the first time, and now he hands them out like candy at Halloween! This is my 4th one. Crazy.

I noticed a new house in town, so I went to investigate. I introduced myself to Wendy, my new villager.

Avery approached me and told me I should ditch the name Jeff. He said I should be known as Skippy from now on. Even though I’m more of a Jif guy, I didn’t object. “Skippy” is better than most of the nicknames they come up with.

By all indications, today was a UFO day. I haven’t been hunting the UFO as much since I completed my Gulliver collection last November, but the past few weeks I’ve been checking to see if each day was a UFO day. And today was one. At 6:02, I shot down the UFO.  This was my first UFO of 2013 and my 25th overall. It looks like Caroline was expecting the UFO to beam her up!

Melba approached me and asked if she was weird for saying “toasty.”

So I had her say “g’day mate” instead.

I then saw a green balloon and got an interesting picture of it.

I shot it down; it contained a cubby hole. And then after that, I finally found the spaceship part.

Tomorrow I’ll go see Gulliver on the beach and exchange it for one of his rare items. See you tomorrow!

In Forest today, we had a rare rainfall. So I didn’t have to water my flowers, but I still checked around for new black roses. Surprisingly, I had three of them today! I haven’t been getting many new ones lately. I talked to Rowan, and he said he was going to move out of town. But I asked him to stay and he reluctantly agreed.

Later on, I started up my Bananas town. Today was the grand reopening of Nook ‘n’ Go!

I went down by the beach and Tortimer was there. My lighthouse has been completed too!

I had invited Megan, Yann, and Ryan over. Unfortunately, Ryan had trouble connecting and couldn’t make it, but Megan and Yann stopped over, and we tried to get the lighthouse glitch to work.

We tried. And tried. And tried and tried and tried. We tried different techniques, but nothing worked. If any of you are familiar with the lighthouse glitch, does the landmass (see pic above) look compatible with the glitch? I know some land shapes won’t work, such as the one in Forest, but I was hoping to be able to do the glitch in Bananas. We ended up a bit confused.

After stepping away for a minute, I returned to find Meg had dug a bunch of holes.

For reasons unknown, I declared ownership of a certain bridge and dug holes to protect it.

Even though the glitch attempts weren’t successful, I still had a good time tonight. At the end of this month, I will be opening Bananas to everyone on my roster. It’ll be the last weekend of the month; stay tuned for the details.
