Yesterday, I received Benedict’s goodbye letter in the mail. He used some awesome hamburger stationery. The greeting and closing fit perfectly on the burger buns.

Today, I started up the game and shot down my first balloon present in a couple of years! That’s because I’ve mostly been playing at night until lately (and they only appear during the day in Wild World). The present was a CD player.
But I wasn’t done using my slingshot for the day… At my first x:x7, a UFO flew by overhead! Since I was ready for it, I shot it down with relative ease. I actually had more trouble with the slow-moving balloon present.
This was my third UFO shot down in Wild World overall (and my 2nd in June). I rushed over to Gulliver and woke him up. Eventually.

He asked me to gather up the missing parts of his spaceship, so of course I did. When I took them all back to him, he rewarded me with a Metroid! That’s the item that took me forever (19 tries) in City Folk! But I added it to my space room, along with a lunar rover I bought at Nookington’s yesterday.

Later on, I listened in on a conversation between Big Top and Rolf. Big Top tried to get Rolf to take a quiz, but Rolf wanted no part of it. He was actually mad about it! He asked if I was going to allow Big Top to quiz him, and I said I saw no problem with it. So Rolf called us both idiots!

He then said Big Top’s hemming and hawing are going to ruin this town!

He made Big Top cry! For someone that’s one of my top-five villagers in the whole series, I really, really dislike him right now. I may not even keep him around after he gives me his photo.
Big Top’s day got even worse a few minutes later. As I was fishing a carp out of the river, Big Top fell into a pitfall!

Margie is still sick, so I gave her some more medicine.
Even though this is my 3rd blog entry this week (and 4th in five days), I may not be done just yet. I’m still playing daily to check turnip prices, and I’m also trying to find Wendell so that I can give him my red turnip and get this trading sequence underway. So I’ll probably be back soon with more! See you then!
I wish you can give Rolf a lesson! Maybe pitfall him!
