Jeff's ACWW Blog

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.

When I visited the town pig Curly, he told me his schedule for today: Regular training for twelve hours, rugby for eight hours, five hours for gardening, and then eight hours to sleep. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
