Inside, I found a letter from the Animal Crossing team! It suggested playing Animal Crossing for an hour a day to avoid boredom. 😛
Crazy Redd had a tent set up outside of town hall, so I went inside to see what he had. I took a chance on this solemn painting for 3,920 bells.
A note on the bulletin board informed me that the flower festival would be starting up on Monday! It said to buy a watering can and some flower seeds.
At the museum, I got some bad news about that painting I bought from Crazy Redd. It’s a fake! Too bad Animal Crossing doesn’t have a flamethrower tool, so I could burn down Redd’s tent.
I got better news from Blathers when I handed him a fossil to identify. It turned out to be a dimetrodon tail, and that completed the dimetrodon.
After that, I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and then headed to Kiki’s house. She was still sick (!), so I gave her some medicine for the 5th time.
She’s lucky I like her so much. I wouldn’t buy medicine five times for just any villager. 😛
On my way to Baabara’s birthday party today, I ran into Dr. Shrunk for just the second time. This time around, he let me choose an emotion that I wanted to work on. I had four choices to pick from: realization, sadness, scheming, and agreement.
“Scheming” sounded different from others I was familiar with, so I chose it. I had to tap Shrunk as he used the emotion. But when he used it, I saw that scheming is really just the emotion I knew as mischief.
Once I got the timing of the tap correct, I learned the emotion for myself. He was pleased with my progress, and he said that feelings are like toes.
He said if they can’t breathe free, they’re going to stink pretty bad.
With that unexpected therapy session behind me, I continued on to Baabara’s birthday party. But I made sure not to forget the “scheming” theme. 😉
Big Top was there to help Baabara celebrate. But sadly, there was no cake and no balloons. It was just Big Top hanging out at Baabara’s house.
I then had the opportunity to give her a present. Remember earlier this month, when I used a tin can (garbage that I fished out of the river) to catch a fly? I didn’t throw that can away, instead I re-used it…as Baabara’s birthday present. Enjoy! 😉
She called it an “interesting choice,” but she didn’t seem upset. In return, she gave me an anatomical model as a party favor. Big Top seemed to notice the lack of food at the party, since he asked if I brought some snacks. 😛
Back outside, I found a new message of the week on the bulletin board. It said that balls and windows don’t mix.
There was also a new “Talking to Myself” post. It says “When I see my sister talking to Pete, it makes me feel kinda strange…” This could be the best evidence I’ve seen yet that it’s really Phyllis writing these things.
When I visited Rod, I saw that he was all packed up and ready to move out of town. And yet, he still was talking about what was in his drawers.
After telling him to stay in town twice, he agreed to reconsider. So he should be around for a while still.
Puddles asked me for some new clothing, so I bought a big dot shirt for her at Able Sisters. She loved it, and she gave me an HMD (head-mounted display, I presume). I put it on right away.
Kiki was still sick, so I bought her some medicine for the 4th time. She really appreciated it.
I found a note in a bottle washed up on the beach tonight. It wasn’t a particularly interesting one, but I don’t see these every day, so I thought I’d share it in the blog.
There was also a new “Talking to Myself” note posted on the bulletin board. It’s about “bad boys,” and why they always seem to wear sunglasses.
I found two fossils in town, and I took them to the museum to be identified. Both of them were T-rex parts. I then went downstairs to the Roost for some music. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Aria for me.
Back outside, I ran into Puddles. She said she had some “big Puddles news”…which was actually about Baabara. Baabara’s birthday is coming up on March 28th (Tuesday), and she invited me to the party! I haven’t attended a birthday party in Wild World yet, but I know just what to give her. 😉
After finding today’s money rock (and before I finished picking up the money bags), Chevre came up to me and pinged me. She told me that she likes me a lot, and she wanted to give me something. It was her villager picture! This is my first villager pic in Wild World! Yay!
But right after talking to her, she walked right into a random pitfall! She also had a flea on her, which I caught for her.
Kiki was still sick, so I bought some medicine for her (for the third time).
After making a 30,000 bell mortgage payment, I headed home to take a look at Chevre’s pic.
It has her favorite quote on the back, “Dream a little dream.”
I put my new song into my jukebox and then ended my game for the night. I’m going to try to play on Tuesday for the birthday party, so I hope to see you then. 🙂
