Yesterday, Teddy was prepared to move out of town, but I made him reconsider.

Rosie told me she was on a mint tea diet, so she has to drink ten gallons of mint tea every day! I wonder what Mint thinks about this.

Speaking of Mint, she had some trivia questions for me. She told me to choose my answer by choosing a red card or a white card. The first two questions were pretty easy, but the third one was a bit odd…

I guessed that they were red, but I was wrong. The correct answer was…pink?!

She said I was supposed to pick both the red and white cards to make pink. But of course, there was no way of actually doing that. This game was rigged! And I got no prize.

There was finally another spotlight product at Nookington’s, but it was just a white king. Not a painting.

Today, I visited Teddy, and he told me he was giving me a shanty mat for free.

But before he handed it over, he actually changed his mind and kept it!

How rude! And my pockets were not full, so that’s not why he changed his mind. See, this is exactly why I don’t like Teddy as much in Wild World as I do in other Animal Crossing games. Ugh, I should have let him move out yesterday. I need to remember to let him go next time!

I ran into Kabuki outside, and he told me Crazy Redd’s password, “cash in other.” But that information came with a caveat: He heard the password from Teddy, so it may not be reliable.

Considering this was right after Teddy lied to me, I appreciated the Teddy diss (and it made me laugh). I’d give Kabuki a high-five if I could.

As for Crazy Redd, he had a solemn painting for sale. I didn’t need it.

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. She called me her hero!

I’m still waiting for the first snow of the season in Wild World. Hopefully it will start falling soon.

My latest donation to Boondox triggered another letter. This time, the people in Boondox told me that their mayor just got gold dentures. Why can’t we do the same for Tortimer?

I ran into Benedict outside, and he told me his outfit fits perfectly and highlights the shape of his body.

When I spoke with Mint, she seemed disgusted by my appearance and told me I should take care of my skin. I didn’t even get stung by a bee or anything! But she said not even boys are allowed to look scruffy these days.

Several minutes later, I ran into her again. She had a new nickname for me: Divine J. That’s not one that I recall seeing before.

Margie asked for a new catchphrase to replace “baconballs,” and I jumped at the chance. Baconballs is a leftover from Curly’s time in Forest, which actually ended 11 months ago. I tried to think of something new that I haven’t used as a catchphrase before, and I came up with “like gum.”

I’ve posted a new Wild World video, episode 21, which shows highlights of my time in Forest from late August through early November. I hope you’ll check it out!

If you’re looking for an Animal Crossing related gift for the holidays, you might want to consider the Animal Crossing sticker book. You can buy it at Amazon, or read my thoughts about it.

My in-game mother sent me a cute letter about the arrival of autumn today. Of course, we’re in the latter part of autumn now, and winter is approaching…but I still enjoyed the letter.

Mint asked me to deliver a letter to Margie, and I agreed to help out…but the game wouldn’t let me. That’s because my hands were grubby mail slots were full.

Benedict thought he was going to move out of town, but I wasn’t allowing that. Don’t run away, Ben! Stay here and face your problems, you big chicken!

I remembered that Kiki often asks me for black furniture, so I bought an ebony piano and a modern dresser at Nookington’s. But after I bought them, I remembered that Kiki doesn’t live here anymore. Oops. Well, I wanted the shopping points anyway, so it’s not a problem.

When I spoke with Kabuki outside, he told me that it’s not how a guy looks that matters, it’s what’s inside that counts. At least, that’s what people tell him all the time. He then wondered if they said that because he looks nerdy. Nah, you don’t look nerdy, Kabuki.

I think he was indirectly asking me to buy some clothes for him.

After selling some fruit, fossils, and furniture (and after some tree-shaking for money bags once Nook’s closed), I saved up enough money to make another million bell donation to Boondox. Phyllis informed me that Boondox is now a booming metropolis!

A few other quick, minor notes about tonight:

• Big Top wanted to visit my house, but I declined.
• Crazy Redd had a solemn painting; I didn’t need it.
• Rosie was still sick, so I gave her more medicine.
• Teddy beat me in a game of rock, paper, scissors.

I haven’t had a spotlight item at Nook’s lately, but hopefully that will change soon. See you next time!
