Rosie’s Plastic Fossil

Today, Crazy Redd had a flowery painting for sale. That’s one painting that I still need for the museum, so I quickly snapped it up.

Redd: Yes, yes. Now that there flowery painting is quite the little item.
“Yes, yes?” You’re not Tom Nook.

But my excitement quickly fizzled away when Blathers informed me that it was a forgery. I was quite disappointed.

When I visited Jeremiah, he told me that he was feeling better now. He thanked me for the medicine I took him last week, and he rewarded me with some cabana flooring.

Jeremiah: I can really count on you. Thanks for attending to me in my time of plague.

I found a dig spot, and I dug up a pitfall seed. But as I was holding it up, Bree came walking towards me. And that gave me an idea. 😛

Bree looks on as I dig up a pitfall seed in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

So I buried it near her…but then she started walking in a different direction. I tried pushing her, but I wasn’t getting anywhere. I moved the pitfall seed to another location, and again tried pushing her into it. But she went another way, and again, the pushing wasn’t helping. It seems more difficult to push animals around in Wild World compared to City Folk. This is why I may not ever make a Pitfall Pandemonium type video for Wild World.

So I gave up, and I went to go dig up the pitfall seed. But before I could, poor Rosie came by and walked right into it!

I spoke to her, and she didn’t seem mad about the pitfall. Instead, she told me how she was excited to find a fossil the other day.

Rosie: Just the other day, I found a fossil! Yes, A FOSSIL!!!

So she took it to Blathers, but he told her that it wasn’t a real fossil. It was made out of plastic!

Rosie: But that hypernerd Blathers told me it was just a piece of plastic, silly!

Rosie got angry, and she wondered who buried a plastic fossil just to trick her and break her heart.

Rosie: Who did it?! Who had to go and shatter my irresistibly adorable little heart?

The worst part is that she blamed me for it! It’s very uncharacteristic for Rosie to be so rude, angry, and…mean.

Rosie: You know what I think? I think it was YOU, you plastic-fossil SICKO!

At this point, I was glad she fell into the pitfall. She earned it.

Kiki asked me to catch a salmon for her. Even though it was an uphill battle, I caught one for her. She thanked me by giving me an exotic screen.

Kiki: Incredible! Are you serious? You caught one already?

Still no hybrids in my flower garden, but I’m not giving up. See you next time!

Purple Feather

Yesterday, I got a letter from Boondox in the mail. They informed me that my donation was used to build an arcade. The bad news is that they only have Donkey Kong so far. 😛

Dear Jeff, We finally have an arcade in town! It only has Donkey Kong, but it's still a lot of fun. -From Boondox

They attached a purple feather to the letter. I promptly put it in my hair.

Jeff wears a purple feather from Boondox in his hair.

I saved Curly from moving out, and then I bought medicine for Jeremiah, who was sick with a cold.

Today, I again gave Jeremiah some medicine. And in Nookington’s, Timmy and Tommy were apparently having a sale on barrels today. 😛

Three barrels on sale at Nookington's: the brown drum, red drum, and haz-mat barrel.

Is this Nookington’s or Barrels ‘R’ Us? It was the brown drum, the red drum, and the haz-mat barrel. Not much variety today. 😛

When I visited Rocco, he was talking about the size of my house. He thought there would be canyon-like echoes in a house that size, so he wanted to come over and sing to me all night long!

Rocco: That's it! I'm bringing my banjo over and singin' you a rockin' song!
Please don’t.

The salmon are in season now that it’s September, so I’ve been seeing lots of large fish shadows in the river. But the salmon (700 bells), and even the king salmon (1,800 bells), aren’t super valuable compared to most large river fish, so it ends up being a bit disappointing when you keep catching lots of them.

I bought some more flowers to plant by my house, and I’ve accumulated quite a lot of them now. Still no hybrids, but I’m not giving up.

Flowers, Cake, & A Lucky Unitard

I’ve been planting a lot of flowers around my house, and watering the wilties, as I try to grow some hybrids. I realize the area shown in this picture isn’t ideal for hybrid production, since they’re all jumbled together, but I have other areas for specific flowers (one area for roses, one for tulips, etc.).

That’s one sad little dude.

From what I’ve read, I need some blue, purple, and/or black flowers to attract a peacock butterfly. Hopefully I can grow a few of those one day soon.

A new “Talking to Myself” message was posted to the bulletin board. The author apparently wears a bathing suit in the tub, in case of an earthquake.

-Talking to Myself- I wear a bathing suit in the tub, in case of an earthquake. Maybe I watch too much TV.
Yeah, that swimsuit sure will protect you from the falling debris.

Jeremiah was feeling sick, and coughing like crazy. Maybe he had a frog in his throat. So I bought the blue dude some medicine. Get well soon, little guy!

Jeremiah: HACKity! HWEEZE HWEEZE! Thanks... HWEEZE! Now let me choke this stuff down.

I did a little fishing and bug-catching, but I didn’t catch anything new. But a hammerhead shark and an elephant beetle earned me a good chunk of bells.

I’ve saved up another 300,000 bells, so it was time for me to make another donation to Boondox. Pelly informed me that they needed a cake shop. Yeah, don’t we all? It’s not exactly a necessity though, so I’m starting to question the legitimacy of this charity.

Pelly: We just received a request from Boondox to build a cake shop...

I listened in on a conversation between Rocco and Curly, and they were talking about wrestling. Apparently Curly has beaten Rocco several times in a row, so Curly is going to let Rocco wear his lucky unitard next time.

Curly: Oh, Rocco! Next time we wrestle, you can wear my lucky unitard!
If only I could un-listen to this conversation.

This isn’t the first time Curly has mentioned unitards; he accused me of wanting to try on his leotards last December. Wow, I guess he was serious about having a unitard stash!

Have a good day (or night) and I’ll see you next time.
