Crazy Redd was in town on Tuesday, and he had a famous painting for sale. I still need that one for the museum, so I bought it.

But unfortunately, I quickly found out that it was a fake. No Mona Lisa for me.

There was a new house in town, and Rosie just moved in! She’s a cool cat.

Kiki has been asking me for black furniture, so I bought a weight bench at Nookington’s for her. She actually liked the gift, even though I wasn’t so sure she would when I bought it.

In addition to owing me dinner, she also gave me a hearth. I left her house and re-entered to see if she put the weight bench up, and she did.

I also bought a Spaceman Sam at the shop on Tuesday. I’ve decided to turn my back room into a space-themed room (eventually), although the Spaceman Sam and space station are the only two items I have in there so far.

Tonight, Curly was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine. We don’t want him catching the swine flu.

At the Roost, K.K. performed Lucky K.K. for me.

I paid a total of 60,000 bells towards my mortgage payment since the last entry (25,000 bells Tuesday and 35,000 tonight). Just 613,000 bells to go.

The first fishing tournament of 2018 was held today, and I decided to participate (since I usually don’t). In fact, this is only my second time participating in Wild World’s fishing tourney. I went over to town hall and had a quick chat with Tortimer.

He said the largest fish wins, and he also said I’ll get a prize if I beat my personal best.

After catching a squid, I took it to Tortimer. He measured it (15 inches), and then he laughed at me. He informed me that Big Top already caught a tuna that measured 89.1 inches. Well, shoot.

I wasn’t liking my chances. Still, I fished a bit more. I caught a sea bass, and took it to Tortimer to see how it compared. It was only 41.3 inches. So I basically gave up at that point. Even though I did fish a little while longer, I knew I wasn’t going to win. Why can’t the Wild World tournaments be as easy as my New Leaf tournament was yesterday?

I returned home and checked my mail. The snowman I built yesterday sent me a letter, along with a snowman sofa. I added it to my main room.

A new “Talking to Myself” message was posted on the bulletin board. Sounds like somebody likes to purposely make her sister mad.

Since I just played yesterday, it was too soon for any apples to be on trees. So I didn’t make very much money today. Even though I was fishing for a while, none of the fish I caught were worth much. So I only had 20,000 bells to pay towards my mortgage this time.

I plan on playing again on Tuesday, but I may or may not post another blog entry at that time. If nothing much happens, I may wait until Saturday to post the next entry.

I found two snowballs not far apart tonight, so I rolled them up into a snowman. When it came to life, the snowman was wondering what took me so long to build him. Even the precipitation has an attitude in Wild World.

A new “Talking to Myself” message on the bulletin board was about getting a driver’s license. The author wants to get one to take her boyfriend for a ride in her convertible. Hmm, why does she have a convertible if she can’t drive?

I checked out the lost-and-found, and Booker had ten pitfall seeds available! Hmm, maybe I’ll have to do something similar to Pitfall Pandemonium in Wild World too.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed Go K.K. Rider! for me.

I went fishing in the river, but I didn’t catch anything good. What’s new? Outside of town hall, Kiki gave me an A shirt for free. Since it has been a while since I’ve changed my clothes, I went ahead and put it on.

I then went inside town hall to make a 40,000 bell mortgage payment before ending my game for the night. I hope you’re all having a good weekend!
