Lazy Sad Snow

On Wednesday, Drift was talking about the snow being lazy and loafing around.

Drift: Snow is so lazy! It's disgusting! Look at it, loafin' around like that!

Then he said it reminds him of me! How rude!

Drift: Kinda reminds me of you, rrrrribbit!

Caroline then told me to watch out for girls who have a lot of flowers in their gardens!

Caroline: You know, if you meet a girl with lots of flowers in her garden...

She warned me never to trust a green thumb! 😆

Caroline: You'd better watch out for her! She's up to no good! Never trust a green thumb!

Today, Filbert told me that he was pretty indifferent towards Bones and Curt. But then when I (immediately) spoke to him again, he suddenly had an urgent delivery for Curt!

Filbert: Well, I have an urgent delivery for Curt...

Why would he be sending a gift to Curt (let alone an “urgent” one) when he feels indifferent towards him? 😛 But I took the gift (a five-ball shirt) over to Curt, and he was impressed by it. Filbert then rewarded me with 510 bells.

Truffles said that seeing all the snow around makes her sad…

Truffles: Y'know, when I see all this snow lying around, it makes me, like, kinda sad...

But not for a reason I’d expect. She’s sad because she thinks it’s going to be gone in a few days! Ha!

Truffles: Why? Because it's gonna be GONE in a few days!!
You sweet summer child. We still have over two months of it to go.

Over at town hall, I found an arctic camo (shirt) in the recycle bin. I also put some money into my savings account, and my balance reached 14 million bells.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 14,000,000.

Moon from the Stars

Snow now covers the ground in Wild World (and the other Animal Crossing games as well). It’s a pretty time of year, although I know we’ll all be sick of the snow in a month or so. 😆

On Wednesday, Truffles interrupted me as I was hitting the money rock. She prevented me from getting the full payout!

Truffles: So you wanna chat with me some more, right? Yeah, I like chatting with me, too!
You just cost me a few thousand bells!

Caroline told me that she’s (finally) over her cold, and she thanked me for the medicine by giving me a concrete wall. This will surely help us cement our friendship. 😛

After I came out of Whitney’s house, a shooting star flew overhead! Fortunately, I was able to wish on it before it zoomed out of sight.

The next day, I received a letter from Wishy in the mail. He sent me the moon! That’s a pretty big gift! I wonder how much he had to pay for shipping…the cost must’ve been astronomical! In fact, I’m sure it eclipses any shipping cost I’ve ever observed! 🌚

Tank was talking about pouring some miso soup over pear salad, and he asked what I thought of that. A slider popped up with the two extreme options being “So good!” and “Awful!” I moved it just a tiny bit below the midpoint, and Tank became furious at me.

Tank: Oh, c'mon! Come down off your snobby horse and try something unique!
Sorry, I’m not feeling soup-er adventurous today.

Filbert asked me for a fossil, so I gave him a fern fossil that I dug up. He was happy with it, and he rewarded me with a plaza wall.

Today, Mom sent me a letter about drinking cocoa around the holidays. She also sent me an apple, which is a foreign fruit. But it’s also a fruit I already had, so it wasn’t super useful. But still, it is nice to be able to get foreign fruit this way.

Drift jokingly wondered if Curt and Filbert could be brothers. Yeah, I don’t think so. 😛

Drift: Wouldn't it be funny if Curt and Filbert turned out to be brothers?
Come on, they bearly look related.

When I visited Filbert, he was still talking about the fossil I gave him yesterday. He said he was so excited that he couldn’t help but dance!

Filbert: I'm so excited that I can't help but dance! Shake it! Woot!

See, now this is the true reward that makes favors worthwhile, not the crummy wallpapers they give. 😆

Bones told me he’d love it if it would snow year-round! I strongly disagree with him about that.

Bones: It sure would be fun if it snowed all year long, for a bite!
For a bite? Yeah, frostbite maybe.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I’ll be back again next week.

Telling Gulliver No

On Wednesday, I received my monthly bank statement from town hall. I received 68,500 bells in interest this month. The amount grows a little bit each month.

I shot down Gulliver’s UFO, and I went over to meet him. But when he asked me for help recovering his UFO parts, I said no! I wanted to see how he’d respond, and he didn’t disappoint. First, he said he must’ve misunderstood me…

Gulliver: The language of your people baffles my foreign ears! I think I misunderstood you.

And then he asked again, while also insulting my intelligence. 😆 As you’d expect, this part just loops back if you say no again.

Gulliver: I shall ask you again, using simpler words your alien mind can understand.

As I searched for the missing parts, I stumbled onto this cool view of the UFO from across the river, during sunset.

Truffles asked me to deliver a letter to Curt, and I agreed to help out. Curt enjoyed the letter, and he said Truffles isn’t all that bad!

Curt: That Truffles isn't all that bad, fuzzball.
I disagree.

But then as soon as he said it, he turned around and walked right into a pitfall! 😆 I didn’t push him, and it wasn’t even my pitfall! He saved me the trouble by doing it to himself! 😆

Curt struggles in a pitfall.

I returned to Truffles, and she thanked me…but she didn’t give me a reward. My pockets were full, unfortunately. (And she never mailed me a reward, either!)

Once I found all of the UFO parts, Gulliver rewarded me with another compass.

Yesterday, Whitney asked me what I thought about her outfit. I said it made her look like a rock star, and she agreed. She said the outfit was a keeper.

Whitney: Tee hee! Yes, I am a rock goddess! This look is a keeper, snappy!

But just a few seconds later, she said she was in a clothes rut and needed to update her look!

Whitney: I think I need to update my look and get more clothes, snappy!

Today, Tank was looking forward to the next flea market. He was trying to think of all the wonderful products he could sell.

Tank: Shabby shirts, sweaty rags, and too-tight pants...
Tank: Man, I have SO much stuff to sell, yip yip!

Remind me not to shop at Tank’s house next time. 😛

Caroline has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and today. Hopefully she’ll be over this cold soon, because this is dragging on too long.

I posted my latest Wild World video today, episode 72. It covers highlights of the past three weeks or so, through yesterday. I hope you’ll check it out!

Enjoy your weekend!
