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.

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.

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

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.

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

Curly was over his cold, and feeling better now. He thanked me…for saving his bacon!

He gave me a round carpet for the trouble.

The Bright Nights festival was still underway, and I noticed that Kiki’s house had a decorated tree behind it. I liked how it looked, so I told Tortimer that Kiki got my vote this time.

I visited Big Top, and I was surprised to find his house empty. Completely empty!

That was very unusual, so I spoke to Big Top to see what was up. It turns out, he was planning on moving out of town. But if you remember from last week, he had nothing but fish in his house. So apparently, animals don’t pack up fish, only the actual furniture that they own. Very interesting. I had always assumed the number of boxes was just random, but maybe it’s based on what they really own.

Anyway, I kept asking Big Top not to move until he agreed to stick around.

When I ran into Kiki, she said she was glad that I liked her lights so much. She said even though the lights will come down soon, she’ll always have the memory of how special this year was.

Baabara told me today was her anniversary with shark fin soup. This is the same dialogue she told me about before, but that time, it was with fried catfish. She has too many fish stories to tell.

At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed K.K. Bossa for me.

Over at town hall, I made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my night in Forest. See you next time!

The Bright Nights festival for 2018 is now underway, so villagers have decorated their houses with colored lights. Some trees around town have also been decorated. It gives the town a Christmassy feel, even though it’s February. Here you can see Bud’s house.

With one decorated tree next to it, and another behind it, I’ve decided this is my favorite of my animals’ houses. Of course, they’re all pretty much the same aside from the nearby trees.

Curly was still stick, and he demanded asked that I bring him some medicine. He’s lucky I was nice enough to buy some for him.

The latest Message of the Week warned sailors about the dangers of burritos.

Kiki asked me what kind of girl she was, cute or normal.

I told her she was cute, and she really seemed to appreciate it. She thanked me and gave me her heart…shirt. Is this an early Valentine’s present?

Rhonda opened up to me, telling me that she likes being treated mean. Somehow, that fact did not surprise me.

But it got worse. She told me she’s the type to spit in a customer’s food at fast-food restaurants! Remind me never to eat her cooking.

After I was done making my rounds, I went over to town hall. Tortimer wanted to know whose house looked the best, and I answered with Bud. Tortimer said he’d give Bud a good slap on the back to congratulate him.

Inside town hall, I made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my night. Unfortunately, Crazy Redd doesn’t come to town during Bright Nights, so I was unable to buy any new art this week.
