On Wednesday, I ran a long way (from all the way down on the beach, up to the north wall) to shoot down a balloon present. I found a wave breaker inside. It would’ve been more useful on the beach.

Robin wanted to sell me a royal shirt, and she asked how much I would spend. I put the slider close to the minimum (1 bell), and she called me a wuss. And then she still made me pay 480 bells for the shirt.

Yesterday, Caroline told me she’ll sometimes pretend to cry, just to make her friend upset. I had the option to say “That’s funny!” or “That’s terrible,” and I chose the former (just to see how she’d react). She was really happy about my response, and she said we should be best friends now.

I ran into her again a few minutes later, and she showed me a random letter she received. It was signed from “a certain furry someone.”

Today, I listened in on a conversation between Robin and Whitney behind town hall. Whitney said she makes a cute face when she eats, and Robin said that she likes to stuff her face with marshmallows.

She then tries to say “Snuggle Bunnies” with her mouth full. This is pretty much exactly the “chubby bunny” challenge.

Whitney said that she loves to play Snuggle Bunnies too, and she suggested that they should get together and play it sometime.

Whitney concluded that their personalities are so similar that them hanging out together is like looking in a mirror.

Truffles was sick with a cold (or was it the swine flu?), so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Truffles.

Yesterday, I ran into Whitney while walking around town. She made it sound like talking to me was an annoying obligation.

Maybe having a snooty as my favorite villager in town isn’t going to work out. At least not for long.

I found a new house in the northeast part of town, where Octavian lived last year. Inside, I found Robin the…robin.

She’s fairly nice, but I do currently have her in my City Folk town already. So I have two Robins, but no Batman.

There was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board, and it was about a hedgehog movie! Now I haven’t seen the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, so I don’t know how accurate this is.

Today, Filbert asked me what I thought was up with Curt and Truffles. Since I don’t care for either of them, why not spread some rumors?

I told him there was lots of smooching going on between them, and Filbert said it was so gross that it makes him want to barf!

He said the only thing that he lets touch his lips is a cup of milk tea.

Curt wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a sea bass first, but I declined. Maybe another time. At least a sea bass shouldn’t be too hard to catch, unlike a lot of things villagers will ask for.

Before wrapping up my game for the afternoon, I found a regal sofa in the recycle bin at town hall.

See you next time! Never Stop Crossing!

When I played on Wednesday, I got some bad news in the mail. Bones has moved out of town, without warning!

Bones was my favorite villager in town, and he has lived here for nearly three years. It’s very disappointing to lose him. The only bright side is that I still have him in New Horizons.

But something else came to mind. Last week, I posted a video ranking my favorite villagers in all of my Animal Crossing towns. I had previously posted three such videos before, in 2019, 2021, and 2023. After two of those videos (2019 and 2021), my favorite Wild World villager moved out just days afterwards. So I thought it was weird that it happened again.

Are these videos a curse to my Wild World towns somehow? Nah, I know it’s just a coincidence (or a series of coincidences), but it’s still unfortunate. And to be fair, nothing of the sort happened after my 2023 video.

Anyway, I also had a letter with my latest HRA score in the mail. The addition of Drift’s pic boosted my house score up to 293,700 points.

Filbert told me he was looking for fossils, but not for the money. He said he was doing it so that Blathers would like him more!

Yesterday, Curt was telling me about the fishing tournament that’s coming up on Sunday. He said I always seem to win competitions, and he accused me of cheating! Wow. Never mind the fact that I haven’t even won a tournament since 2021!

I was too lazy to go looking for a pitfall, but I did the next best thing: I hit him a few times with my net.

I can’t believe I didn’t rank Curt dead last in my town. If I were to re-rank them right now, Curt would be on the bottom, not Truffles. And Whitney would be my new #1, now that Bones is gone.

I played again tonight, and not much was going on in town. So I gathered up a few loads of fruit and sold it at Nookington’s. I was able to boost my savings balance up to a nice, round, satisfying total of exactly 15 million bells.

I’ll be back again next week to see who replaces Bones. Have a great weekend!
