Yesterday, I ran into Phineas in the city. He gave me a yellow balloon, and then I chatted with a yellow rabbit…my old buddy Gaston.

Today, Chip was hosting the April fishing tournament. You could catch any type of fish you wanted, but it needs to be big.

Felicity wondered if Chip runs a fish market, since that would explain his need for all of these fish.

That might sound like a good story, until you realize that Chip immediately eats all the fish you give him. So there’s nothing left that would make it to market.

I caught a zebra turkeyfish and gave it to Chip, but it was only 9.6 inches long. The current record was a 41.1-inch sea bass that Felicity caught, so I went back to fish more. A couple minutes later, I caught a sea bass. It measured 46.1 inches, so I took over the top spot. Chip gave me a caladium as my prize.

I returned later tonight to find a letter from Chip in the mail. He confirmed that I won the tournament, and he sent me a gold trophy.

I then made my way over to the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Waltz” for me.

Between Able Sisters and Big Top’s house, I fell into a pitfall that was hidden by a tree! Big Top must’ve planted it there for me! Well if so, he got me.

Here are a few other quick notes about yesterday and today:

• Yesterday, I found a Spaceman Sam & a mega howloid in the recycle bin.
• Ed asked me to catch a common butterfly for him, so I did. He rewarded me with 528 bells.
• Tonight, I delivered a manor wall from Big Top to Monty. Big Top also gave me 528 bells.

See you next week!

Now that April is here, so are the pink trees of cherry blossom season! Be sure to enjoy the pretty sights to see, in whichever Animal Crossing games you may be playing!

Big Top was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Get well soon!

Felicity asked me to make a delivery to Monty, and I agreed to help out. She sent him a candy gingham, and he hated it so much that he even barked like a dog.

I thought that was harsh…but he wasn’t done! He continued to insult all of Felicity’s stuff!

I went back and told Felicity the bad news, and it made her cry. But she rewarded me with a kiddie carpet for making the delivery.

I turned off the game for a while, but I returned tonight. Mint asked me to deliver a gift to Marina, but I was surprised by the present: It was a jungle camo! Why would an octopus need jungle camouflage?

Even though Marina wasn’t thrilled with it, she accepted it. So her reaction definitely wasn’t as bad as Monty’s earlier. When I returned to Mint, she rewarded me with a cowhide rug.

I went up to the Roost, and I found Felicity drowning her sorrows…with coffee.

But she wasn’t just thirsty, she was hungry too. Very hungry!

She referred to her seat as “VIP seating” for K.K.’s show, even though she’s facing the wrong way. But I sat down and enjoyed a performance of K.K. Rally before wrapping up my game for the night.

When I played on Tuesday, I received Groucho’s goodbye letter in the mail. He says he’s going to drift wherever the wind takes him.

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. I asked my villagers for some, but only Felicity and Punchy were able to help me out.

But fortunately, I also had one old wallpaper in storage. So I took the three over to Saharah, and she gave me a tree-lined wall for them.

Today, I spotted a new house in the northeast part of town…where every potential house spot is currently occupied with a house. It’s a jumbled mess up there. But inside the new house, I found that Ed the horse has trotted back to town.

Ed lived in Forest before, back in 2014, when I was still taking screenshots in the standard (4:3) aspect ratio. Ed has never been a favorite of mine, but I don’t hate him either. He’s just a stable guy to have around, I guess.

After a trip to the city to get my hair changed back to normal, I bumped into Punchy behind Nook ‘n’ Go. He was telling me that he recently lost some weight.

I wasn’t sure where he was going what that, but I quickly found out. He said that being smaller would make him better at hiding; he was asking me to play hide-and-seek with him. I agreed, and he gave me ten minutes to find him, Marina, and Felicity. I quickly found Felicity hiding behind Nana’s house.

I later found Marina behind a cedar tree, and then Punchy was trying to hide behind a sign post! You haven’t lost that much weight, pal!

I won the game, so Punchy rewarded me with a mini fizzoid.

I posted a new video today, taking a look at eight things I’d like to see in the next Animal Crossing game. It includes a feature of City Folk that I’d like to return.

See you all next time!
