I found Curly with his belongings all packed up in boxes today. He’s moving out of town, and I decided not to stop him. He’s a cool pig, but he’s had a good run in Forest.

I figured it was time for me to wear a new look, so I went into Able Sisters and bought an orange tie-dye shirt and some goggles.

Crazy Redd was in town, and he had an awesome painting for sale! I need that one still, so I bought it right away. Unfortunately, Blathers informed me that it was a fake. Ugh. That’s the second time this month I thought I was getting a new painting, but once again, it’s a forgery.

Rosie was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. After gulping it down, she declared that she’s not fully recovered yet. Well, duh. Medicine doesn’t work instantly, Rosie. 😛

On the bulletin board, I saw a new “Talking to Myself” post about Pelly or Phyllis liking airplanes a lot when she was younger. She’d put slippers on her wings and fly. Wait, what? I don’t understand how having slippers on her wings would make her more like an airplane?

Jeremiah was talking about how to hold nets when catching bugs. He said that Margie holds a net in each hand… But more interestingly, he referred to Margie as a “he!” I know I’ve seen screenshots of Animal Crossing: New Leaf when villagers will occasionally give the wrong gender for another villager, but apparently this happens in Wild World as well.

Winter has arrived in the world of Animal Crossing, and snow now covers the grass and trees around town. But dirt patches stay dirty, and there seems to be a lot of them in Wild World.

Crazy Redd was in town, but I didn’t need the strange painting he was selling. And I never buy any of his other non-art stuff, so I just left his tent without paying rent.

When I spoke with Big Top, he wondered if his clothes felt too much like early springtime. And then he started talking about milk tea, and I didn’t know how to respond.

I spoke with Kiki, and she told me she likes to stand there and look up at the clouds. That sounds nice and all, but the problem is that she was indoors when she said it! If she’s seeing clouds inside her house, that’s probably not a good thing!

Rosie asked me for a new greeting, and I was kinda feeling down, so I told her to say “Oh joy, it’s you.” It’s meant to sound sarcastic, but when Rosie repeated it, I’m not sure if the sarcasm came across well. Rosie is just too cheery, so it sounds like something she would legitimately say. 😛

The snow on the ground makes it easy to find all of the buried items, so I found all three of today’s fossils and had Blathers identify them. I sold them, along with some other stuff, and then headed over to town hall. I deposited 100,000 bells into my savings account before ending my game for the night.

I received two letters in the mail today. One was from Crazy Redd, telling me this week’s password (“what’d you miss”), and the other was my monthly bank statement. I earned 40 bells of interest on my balance this month.

I headed over to Crazy Redd’s tent, and I saw that he had a rare painting for sale. For once, I think the word rare actually applied, because I believe this is the first time I’ve seen the rare painting in this game!

I bought it and rushed over to the museum to donate it. But Blathers quickly dashed my hopes and dreams. It was a fake!

I visited Margie, and she asked me for some new clothes. I usually don’t bother buying clothes for animals, but since I already had a crewel shirt in my pockets, I gave it to her. She seemed to like it, and she rewarded me with a heart hairpin.

Rosie was about to move out of town, but I got her to reconsider.

It was snowing in town, so I didn’t need to water any of my many wilted flowers. I did a little fishing, found all three of today’s fossils, and then headed home for the night.
