The String is Out

Crazy Redd was in town yesterday, and he had a solemn painting for sale. But I didn’t need that one, so I left his tent without purchasing anything.

The latest Message of the Week says that it hurts to think…so the author tries not to. 😛

*Message of the Week* It hurts to think. I try not to.

For some reason, Baabara was telling me about a boy she once dated. He apparently told Baabara that she was just trying him on like a shirt.

Baabara: It happened many years ago. I was dating a boy, and he said this one thing to me.Baabara: "You're just trying me on like a shirt or something."

So Baabara said she should have hung him out to dry.

Baabara: Can you believe it?! I should've hung him out to dry way before that!
Like a shirt? Maybe he had a point… 😛

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it seems to have been written by Resetti…

To youze, Remember that ya gotta save when you're done playin' your game, ya hear me? -Alliance Against Resetting

At town hall, I made a 23,000 bell mortgage payment.

I played Wild World again tonight, and Big Top told me about a bad experience he had with Gracie. He said he learned one thing during the encounter…that he’s stupid! 😮

Big Top: But I did learn one thing from the experience. I'M STUPID!

Fortunately, he was only kidding. He said Gracie’s rude comments don’t faze him. That’s good to hear, because Gracie can be a witch sometimes. 😛

Once I made my rounds, I decided to spend some time fishing. After 20 minutes, I found what I was looking for. Over by the waterfall, I caught my first stringfish! 😀

Whoa... I caught a stringfish!

I quickly took it over to the museum and donated it. However, my glee was dampened a bit when I looked at my fish encyclopedia. It turns out, I still need to catch about a dozen types of fish! Yikes! I was thinking I only needed a few more! That’s a bummer. But still, it is nice to get the stringfish out of the way. Not only is it a rare fish, but it’s about to go out of season.

I then headed over to town hall, and I found a blue table in the recycle bin. I paid  another 25,000 bells towards my mortgage.

Back outside, I ran into Baabara. She wanted to give me a new nickname, “gorgeous.” The interesting thing about that, is that it already was her nickname for me.

Baabara: Hey, gorgeous! I just came up with the absolute PERFECT nickname for you!Baabara: It's gorgeous! PRET-ty awesome, huh, shear me!

See that snowball in those pics? I made a snowman out of it, along with another one I found. Except the snowman I built didn’t think he looked very snowman-ish.

Snowman: Y'know, I always thought I'd be a little more...uh...snowman-ish, y'know?After that, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you next time!

Kiki with a Tiki

The snowman I built last time sent me a snowman wardrobe in the mail today. I put it in my main room.

When I visited my favorite villager Kiki, I saw that she put up the gift I sent her in the mail. You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for Kiki with a Tiki. 😛

Hmm, that would be a total of 33 hours. Curly realized his mistake, but he didn’t explain how he was off by so much.

Curly: ...Huh?! That's more than 24 hours, isn't it?! That ain't right, nyoink!

Tom Nook had more dialogue for me tonight, but again, it was the same stuff as last year. He warned me about “easy” money-making schemes and told me that he lost his passion, as well as his friend. (Even though he never said who the friend was). From now on, I may not point out the non-playable characters’ dialogue in the blog, unless I’m sure it’s something new I haven’t seen yet.

Upstairs at Nookington’s, I was looking at the carpets and wallpapers available. But as Tommy told me about them, Timmy started walking around a green lamp. Over and over and over again! Even after I stopped talking to Tommy, Timmy kept on walking in circles! Crazy kid.

Timmy walks in circles around a green lamp in Nookington's.After Blathers identified three fossils for me at the museum, I went downstairs to the Roost. I asked for a new song, and K.K. sang the blues.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Blues!

At town hall, I made a 40,000 bell mortgage payment. I then returned home to put my new song in my stereo, and then I ended my game for the night.

Rare Common Painting

I started up the game tonight shortly before 11:00. So I tried to collect (and sell) as much fruit as I could before Nook’s closed for the night.

Once I got inside Nook’s shop, he had some dialogue for me. He was talking about all he seems to care about it money. And that he feels it’s his job to show young people how hard life is.

Tom Nook: As an adult, it's my responsibility. It's my TRUE job, if you will, hm?

This text seemed familiar, and indeed, it was. He said the same things a year ago (almost to the day). I wonder if the dialogue repeats at the same time each year?

Crazy Redd was in town tonight, and he had a common painting up for sale. Since I already have that one in the museum, there was no reason to buy it again.

Redd: No, you see? That there common painting is a very rare piece!
But you just said it’s common.

The latest Message of the Week is really just song lyrics. Bird is the word.

*Message of the Week* Bird, bird, bird. Bird is the word.Since the winter season in Animal Crossing has less than two weeks left, I decided to build a snowman tonight. I won’t have many more chances, considering I only play twice a week. But this snowman was happy about his appearance, and I should get a reward from him in the mail next time.

Snowman: I'm... I'm... I'm... I'M ALIVE!

I listened in on a conversation between Big Top and Curly, and it was an odd one. Big Top was telling Curly that he looked dreamy when he laughs.

Big Top: Don't take this the wrong way, Curly, but when you laugh, you look dreamy.
…him?

Over at town hall, I made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my night. See you next time!
