Catching My First Tuna

When I visited Curly tonight, he accused me of wanting to snoop around his house. Even worse, he said I wanted to try out all of his leotards!

Curly: You wanna find my unitard stash and try 'em on, don't you, nyoink?!
You have a unitard collection?

Big Top was still sick, so I gave him some medicine again.

Crazy Redd was in town, and he had a warm painting for sale. But I already have that one in the museum, so I didn’t waste my money this time.

Just outside of Redd’s tent, I ran into Baabara. She said passion is what makes people beautiful. Even if their passion is hating Baabara? 😛

Baabara: In my opinion, passion is what makes people beautiful, shear me!

This week’s Message of the Week on the bulletin board was about headphones.

*Message of the Week* Say no to headphones! ...WHO SAID THAT?!Bud asked me to catch a pond smelt for him. But also, I knew I still needed a stringfish and a tuna, so I had three good reasons to go fishing. I fished for 10-15 minutes, and I didn’t come across any stringfish. However, I did catch a pond smelt and my very first tuna! 😀

I caught a tuna! And I'm not talking canned!I took the pond smelt to Bud, and he gave me 510 bells in exchange. I also took the tuna to the museum and donated it.

Blathers: If a tuna stops swimming, it will stop breathing and expire, eh wot?

Of my new apple harvest, I just planted one new apple tree and sold the rest of the apples. I took my cash to town hall and made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment. Only 35,000 more bells to go on this loan!

Talking Tuna

Curly tried to move out of town tonight, but I kept talking to him to change his mind. Eventually, he realized he lost his passport.

Curly: I won't be able to move if I don't have my passport, nyoink!
Oh, quit squealing.

Big Top was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine.

Big Top: HACK! URGGGGLE... Thanks, I know you mean well, but that medicine was terrible.
You’re welcome.

I had new apples on some of my trees. I planted three new apple trees, and sold the rest of the apples. So once these newest ones mature, I should have ten apple trees producing fruit. Not bad. I’m not sure if I’ll plant more, or just leave it at ten. Ten trees should give me an extra 15,000 bells each time I play.

I had a chat with Rhonda, and she had some gossip for me. She said Bud and Puddles are getting close. She didn’t think Bud is very smart, so she said Puddles needs to drop a hint so that Bud gets the message.

Rhonda: You can't leave something this important to a boy, bigfoot.I met up with Puddles a few minutes later. She didn’t talk about Bud, but she did say she loves walking around outside more than anything. How convenient, since that’s practically all that Animal Crossing villagers do. 😛

Puddles: I don't care if it's snowing or dark or there are wolves chasing me or whatever...

A new “Talking to Myself” was posted to the bulletin board. It was about orange eye shadow and pink gloss.

-Talking to Myself- I heard that really orange eye shadow and pink gloss are must-haves! I gotta read more Ms. Nintendique!

When I spoke with Baabara, she was again talking about tuna salad. She said she loves it so much that she could scream.

Baabara: This is kinda sudden, but I love tuna salad so much. I could SCREAM!!!Bud was also talking about tuna, but not eating it. He was saying how thrilled he would be if he could catch one by himself. That actually made me realize that I have not yet caught a tuna! I’ll have to keep that in mind!

Down in the Roost, I caught a musical performance from K.K. Slider. He played Pondering for me. It doesn’t sound very good performed live, to be honest.

After shaking a tree, some bees came after me. I ran for Nook’s door, and I just made it in time. Close call!

Bees surround my head as I enter Nookington's.

After selling all my fossils and fruit, I went up to town hall and made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment.

I then returned home, and after accidentally putting my bench in my pocket, I put my new song in my stereo. 😛

I’ll be back next week (probably on Tuesday) with another entry. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all! 🙂

A New Bud

Hopper gave me a free gift tonight, a stadiometer. But in true Hopper fashion, he managed to be a jerk even as he was being nice.

Hopper: Here ya go, have a stadiometer! What? It's a gift, moron!There was a new Message of the Week posted on the bulletin board near town hall. It said that a little learning can’t hurt, except at Pain State.

*Message of the Week* A little learning can't hurt. Except at Pain State.I found a new house in town, and Bud the lion was inside. He just moved in. I’ve had him in City Folk before; he’s alright, but not one of my favorites.

Bud: Hey, pleased to meetcha! I'm Bud! Who are you, maaan?Crazy Redd was in town, and I bought a solemn painting from him. It turned out to be real, so I donated it to the museum.

Solemn painting. Donor: Jeff.I only need seven more works of art! Of course, my museum still needs some fish and bugs too, so I’ve still got a ways to go before the whole thing is complete.

The three apple trees I planted last time haven’t matured yet, but my original apple tree has produced another bunch of apples. I chopped down three more orange trees and planted the apples in those spots. That should give me seven apple trees… Not bad, but I want more.

I made a 15,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall before returning home.
