Dung At Me, Bro

Big Top told me he’s been getting friendly with the Able Sisters lately. And suddenly, he’s popular with girls. 😛

Big Top: I don't know when I got so popular with the girls! It's nice, though!

Kiki was trying to move out of town today, but it only took me one attempt to change her mind. She’s not going anywhere if I can help it.

As I walked between Big Top and a dung beetle pushing a snowball, Big Top pinged me.

Big Top pings Jeff as a dung beetle pushes a nearby snowball.

As I spoke with Big Top, the dung beetle continued to roll the snowball towards me. Once it got close to me, the dung beetle got scared and flew away.

Margie asked me for some new clothes, so I bought her a cafe shirt from Able Sisters. She put it on, and she seemed to enjoy it. My reward was a wrestling mask.

Margie: Here you go. As promised, a wrestling mask, just for you, silly.

Crazy Redd was in town, but his only work of art was a flowery painting…which I didn’t need.

New Year’s Day 2019

Today is New Year’s Day, and Tortimer had a New Year’s fortune for me. In fact, he was really excited to give it to me.

Tortimer: Goodness! Now you've even got me all excited!

My fortune said I would be lucky in 2019. But then it said luck favors the foolish. So is it calling me foolish??

Your fortune: Lucky. Dreams: Do your best! Love: Don't dawdle. Health: I detect a cold. Luck favors the foolish.
Tortimer: Par-tay! WhooEEE! Par-tay in the New Year! I lose all inhibitions at parties!

Note: Crazy Redd was not in town due to the holiday.

For the new year, some cedar trees have festive lights on them. I had forgotten all about this, although of course I remember they return in February for Bright Nights.

There was a new house in town, and I found Roald the alcoholic penguin inside.

Roald: I'm Roald, aka the Chugging Ninja! I just moved here.

I ran into Gaston outside, and he was rather insulting. He said he knew how I could be, but he asked me to try to be nice for today! MeeeEeeEEe? How about you try it, you yellow grump!

Gaston: I know how you can be. But maybe you should try being nice, just for today.
Excuse me?

Curly moved out last week, but I saw that his flower garden still remains. That actually made me a little sad. 😛 I watered the wilted flowers for him.

When I got back around to my house, I checked my mail and found several letters wishing me a happy new year. They were from Big Top, Margie, Jeremiah, Kiki, Rosie, and Mom.

It's a big day, Jeff, Happy New Year! This year, I'm planning to live life at my own speed. Just like always, huh?! 01/01/2019 --Kiki

Mom even sent me 10,000 bells for the holiday.

Elsewhere in town, Jeremiah and Gaston both pinged me at the same time. They must’ve had something important to tell me, right? Umm, not quite.

Jeremiah: Hey, I hear Bree likes black tea!

As I was talking to them, Kiki also came up to me and pinged me. I guess that was my 15 minutes of fame. 😛

Have a Happy 2019, everyone!

Update: Here is the Wild World video I mentioned last time, Ep. 17!
