Angus’ Beef

A new villager house was in town when I started up the game tonight, so I went inside to meet my newest neighbor. It was Angus the bull, and he apparently has some beef with me. He got all up in my face…literally!

Angus: Hey, what's the big idea?! When you visit my house, let me know you're here! Knock! Yell! Something!Back outside, I spotted a scorpion. I got my net out and then slowly walked up to it.

Me slowly creeping up to a scorpion with my net out.I caught it without any trouble. To my surprise, I saw another scorpion just a few seconds after catching this one. However, the second one walked into a pond and killed itself.

I ran into Wendy the sheep, and she sold me a natty shirt that she said was my lucky item. If that wasn’t bad enough, she said I have little person hands! How rude! I’d wrap my hands around her neck, if only they would fit.

Wendy: You've reached out and throttled happiness with your little person hands! Lambkins!

A Sunny Night?

As expected, I got Octavian’s goodbye letter in the mail. It was a bit sad; even the ink was still wet.

Octavian's goodbye letter in Animal Crossing: City Folk.I also got a letter from Lily, expressing appreciation for the medicine the other day. To thank me, she sent me a propane stove. I don’t know how a stove is an appropriate thank-you for medicine, but I digress.

Saturday is K.K. night at the Roost, so I went up to see the singing dog. I let him choose the song, and he performed K.K. Tango for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Tango.Octavian’s absence really hit home when I saw the big empty spot down by the beach.

The bare spot where Octavian's house used to be.On my walk, I spotted a scorpion. I took a few steps back, got my net out, and slowly walked up to it. Gotcha!

I caught a scorpion! It looks kind of crabby to me...And shortly after midnight, Kiki told me how much she was enjoying the sunny weather. Wait, what?

Kiki: On a sunny day like this, I think I could just sit and stare up at the sky all day.
I think you’re a bit confused…

Octo-Bye

I got a letter from Mom, and she told me she recently bought a portable gaming system! Is this a subtle way of advertising Nintendo’s portable systems? I think so.

Dear Jeff, I've finally dragged myself into the present and bought a portable gaming device! Now I'll never be bored again! I'm off to play now! -MomLily was sick tonight, so I bought some medicine for her. Hopefully she’ll start feeling better soon. But if not, maybe I could have some tasty frog legs.

Lily flips as she takes some medicine.I got a big surprise when I went in to visit Octavian: He’s all packed and ready to move out of town! This is disappointing, because he’s one of the villagers I wanted to stick around. I can think of eight reasons that this sucks. I’ll hate to sea his house gone the next time I play. I wish he could stay, but I’m not holding my breath.

Octavian: Hmph... You never realize how much stuff you've got until you see it packed up, octo-dude.As I continued my walk around town, I saw Wendy across the river. I stopped to wave hello to her. “Hey, ewe!”

I wave to Wendy the sheep from across the river.
