Moving Away on Her Birthday

Today was La-Di-Day, and many of my villagers were talking about how great their songs would be. But none of them ever sang one for me, so no changes were made to the town tune.

Baabara: Yay yay! It's La-Di-Day todaaaay! That's the song I'm gonna sing.I didn’t mention it last week, but I got a letter inviting me to Puddles’ birthday party today (January 13th). But when I went into her house tonight, there was no birthday party. Instead, she was moving out of town. I like Puddles, but I decided to let her go.

Puddles: Well, ANYWAY... Thank you so much for everything! I had a lot of fun. Really!
So long, froggy. And happy birthday.

For no apparent reason, Bud was throwing some shade at Sable. He called her lazy! How rude! Sable’s probably the hardest working animal in town!

Bud: That prickly little Sable... She's being SO lazy lately, maaan!

Back outside, Kiki showed me a letter that someone sent her. It says “I’m not fat! I’m just fluffy!” There wasn’t a name on the letter, but I’m guessing it’s from Baabara. 😛

To Kiki, I'm not fat! I'm just fluffy! -A certain furry someone

After speaking with everyone, I went to the museum. Blathers identified three fossils for me, and then I went downstairs to the Roost. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Mambo for me. It actually sounds pretty good performed live.

I did some fishing in the river, and twice I saw a large fish shadow. Maybe a stringfish, I thought. But instead, I just caught two tires.

I caught a tire! Is this from Gracie's car!?
I was wheely disappointed. I should probably re-tire.

No luck so far, but I’ll keep trying.

I bumped into Big Top, and he wanted to buy a barbel steed off of me. But when he made his offer, the line was blank where the name of the fish should be. Oops.

Big Top: All right, then sell me your for, oh, 280 bells!

I made a 50,000 bell mortgage payment before returning home for the night. That’s all I have for tonight, but I’ll back again on Tuesday (probably) with another entry. And also, I’ll be posting my full Animal Crossing: Wild World review soon.

Fish Abs

Crazy Redd was in town tonight, and he had a lovely painting for sale. Unfortunately, that’s not a piece of art that I still need for the museum.

A new “Message of the Week” was posted to the bulletin board, and it was about the saying “getting there is half the fun.”

*Message of the Week* If getting there is half the fun... What happens if you turn around halfway?There was also a new “Talking to Myself” post. And this one was about pretending to be an old lady.

-Talking to Myself- If you're nervous about going somewhere for the first time, pretend you're an old lady. Works for me!

Bud asked me to catch a yellow perch for him, but he seemed a little too enthusiastic about the fish’s sleek body and hard abs. It was kinda creepy.

Bud: That sleek, shimmering body! I'd kill for that kind of chiseled physique!Bud: Just thinking about hard abs like that keeps me up at night, maaan!

At town hall, I made a 45,000 bell mortgage payment. I then set out to do some fishing in the river. And before long, I caught a yellow perch.

I took the fish over to Bud, and he told me he would’ve caught one hours ago if not for his pulled…trapezoid.

Bud: Oh, if it weren't for this pulled...uhh...trapezoid, I woulda had one hours ago!He also said his rhombus was killing him. He must be out of shape. 😛

Bud: Yeah...and my sore rhombus. It's been killin' me.Anyway, he gave me 510 bells for the fish. I resumed fishing for a few minutes, but I didn’t come across anything good. So I wrapped up my night. See you next time!

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video, Ep. 12, here it is! It shows highlights from my town from November through January.

Snowman TV

I had a chat with Hopper this afternoon, and he was quite annoyed by the snow that was falling. He said he wished he could be collecting shells on a warm summer day. Okay, sure, but he’s a penguin! He should like the cold weather!

Hopper: Aw, man! I wish the sky would knock off all this stupid snowin'...

Big Top was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a modern wall.

I visited Puddles, and she told me how she enjoys to sit at home and pig out on dark chocolate. Sounds good to me!

Puddles: Hi there! Sometimes, it's nice to sit at home and pig out on dark chocolate!
Puddles is my spirit animal.

Rhonda was all set to move out of town, but I got her to reconsider. I might as well try to get her picture before I let her go.

Rhonda: Jeff, if you want me here so badly, I'll think about it.I noticed two snowballs were fairly close together behind Nookington’s, so I rolled them up into a snowman. It wasn’t my first snowman of the season, but it was my first snowman of 2018. And it was my first perfect snowman of the season. He should be sending me a gift in the mail. 🙂

Snowman: All flawlessly executed! And my face... Perfection!
Are you sure you’re not leaning?

At town hall, I made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment.

I ended my game for the moment, but I started it back up around 9 p.m. I had some new mail, and it was a letter from the snowman. He sent me a snowman TV; I put it in my house.

The snowman TV in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW) for Nintendo DS.

I went over to the Roost to check out some music from K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Rockabilly for me.

After that, I visited Hopper. He told me a bit about Pascal’s past. Apparently he was hit in the head with a soccer ball when he was young. That was apparently the cause of his philosophical ways. 😛

Hopper: From what I hear, when he was young he was hit in the head by a soccer ball.Hopper: He wasn't hurt, but from then on he started mumbling random philosophy.I did a little fishing, but I didn’t catch anything good. So I ended my game shortly thereafter.

I’ll be posting my next Wild World video within a couple days…and possibly by tomorrow. Check here to see my latest videos: jvgsjeff videos.
