Month: November 2020

Rolf complimented me on my hands tonight, saying they looked nimble. And he almost suggested that if we teamed up, we could get away with murder!

I wonder who he had in mind? Any ideas?

My newest resident, Patty the cow, asked me for a new greeting (although I thought she was actually asking for a catchphrase). I told her to say “Got milk?”

Margie gave me a free arctic camo, so I took it over to Mathilda (who had been looking for new clothes). She loved it!

In return, she gave me a blue knit hat.

Wendell was in town, asking for food. So I gave him a carp that I caught in the river.

He gave me the “west pattern,” which is just the horizontal street design (which I already had).

I found all three of today’s fossils again, and I sold fruit until the shop closed (which wasn’t long). 😛 Since this will be the last time I play in November, I put all of my money into the bank to maximize my bank account interest.

I know I’m really overdue for a Wild World video episode, but it’s coming! If all goes well, look for it on Sunday morning. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you in the U.S.! See you next time!

I found all three of today’s fossils, which is something I haven’t done in a while. That’s because I’ve been missing one of them, near the northwest corner of town, since the beginning of October! That area is a dead-end, and I was in the habit of going north along the river as far as I could, and turning back. But today, I went around the trees there, and from the other side, I spotted the elusive fossil.

I think it’s the autumn grass color that makes it harder to find them all this time of year. At least for me with my colorblindness. 😛

Goldie was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I did not let her go.

Dr. Shrunk was walking around town tonight, but I didn’t even speak with him.

When I visited Patty, she told me that I rule! That caught me by surprise, but she was just practicing giving compliments because Yay Day is coming up. 😛

Big Top was telling me about his superhero alter ego, Fashion Lad. He said he’s saving the world from tackiness, one tube top at a time. 😀

I played a bit later than I usually do, so I didn’t get to sell as much fruit as I have been lately. Oh well. See you next time.

Yesterday, I received Victoria’s goodbye letter in the mail.

I also received a letter from Mom. She told me that she heard people in big cities like to wear smaller clothes. She sent me an elephant shirt along with the letter.

When I visited Big Top, he again asked for clothes to wear while taking a bath. I offered him the elephant shirt, since he is an elephant, after all…and he loved it!

He gave me a puffy hat to thank me.

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook was asking me about the way he dresses. He asked if I thought he commands the respect that an owner of a shop, and I answered “Uh, maybe?” Keep in mind there was no “yes” or “no” options; only “maybe” and “that’s enough.” He rambled a bit, and said his clothes don’t suit him. I’ve seen this bit of dialogue before, but there’s more to this later in the entry.

Margie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

I played again today, and Tom Nook had some follow-up dialogue. And it caught me off-guard!

I did NOT say his clothes were ugly! But he said Mabel said that to him, and she told him to dress more hip. Tom did not appreciate the insult, and he called Mabel a child.

Anyway, Nook had a spotlight product today. However, it was just a regal clock.

Margie was still sick, so I bought her some more medicine once again.

Victoria’s replacement moved in today, and it’s Patty the cow. I’ve had her in my GameCube and City Folk towns before. I have a fairly neutral opinion of her: She’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t really dislike her either. Welcome to Forest, Patty!

My 2nd-newest villager Rolf asked me for a fossil, so I gave him one that I dug up today: a shark tooth.

He rewarded me with 520 bells.

See you all next time!
