Elephant in the Room

Kiki was sick with a cold tonight, so I gave her some medicine. It turned her world upside-down. Get well soon, kitty.

Kiki flips upside-down as she takes some medicine in ACWW.Yay Day is coming up tomorrow…that’s the day that you’re supposed to give everyone compliments. Hopper told me he was going to be extra nice and compliment everyone he sees. But then he backtracked, admitting that wasn’t very realistic. 😛

Hopper: Oh, who am I kidding? I never say anything nice to anyone!When I ran into Baabara, she told me that she bought some new sunscreen…but she was wondering if she put on too much. She said it might be interesting if she turned the color of tuna salad.

Baabara: It might be interesting to turn the color of tuna salad...
What is wrong with ewe?

Big Top asked me if I had a favorite place, where I like to go to take a nap. He then confessed that his favorite place was the floor of my house! He sneaks in and takes a nap there when I’m not home! 😮

Big Top: Huh? Oh, me? Well, when you're out, sometimes I like to snooze on your floor!
You WHAT?!

He’s lucky I haven’t caught him yet. There’s no way I could ignore the elephant in the room.

I went down to the Roost to check out some music. K.K. Slider played K.K. March for me. It was a little too upbeat for my mood, but oh well. You can’t specify a certain mood of song you’d like, unlike later games.

I did a little fishing, and started shaking some trees. I ran into Big Top again, and he showed me a letter he received. It advised him to stop second-guessing and doubting himself. Good advice.

Young Big Top, You always second-guess yourself. Think of all the time you'd save if you stopped doubting yourself! -The Voice of ReasonA couple of the trees I shook contained bees that I couldn’t quite catch, so my face got stung a couple of times. But some of the other trees had money bags in them, and one had a kiddie couch. But as I was doing that, I heard a mole cricket nearby. I checked my list, and saw that I had not yet caught one!

So I started digging. I had to dig 35+ holes before I finally found it, but I then switched to my net and caught the little bugger.

I caught a mole cricket! I don't see any moles on you, little guy!I donated the mole cricket to the museum, and I made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment over at town hall. After that, I returned home, put my new music in my stereo, and then ended my night in Forest.

Funky Forest Air

I usually ignore the normal letters from the HRA (Happy Room Academy). But today, I noticed that this one mentioned me completing the mush furniture set. Even though it didn’t exactly congratulate me for the feat, I thought that was  a nice touch.

Jeff, your room gets 71,989 points! You've completed the Mush series! That took determination. -Happy Room AcademyNookington’s was already closed by the time I played tonight (because I was busy writing a particularly long New Leaf blog entry). But outside of the shop, I ran into Joey. He told me he was going to use his net to catch air, and then bottle it, and sell funky Forest air in other towns!

Joey: I'm gonna use this net to catch air. Then...Joey: I'll bottle it and sell funky Forest air in other towns!Why do you think the air is funky? And if that’s true, why would other people want to buy it? And even if they did, why would you need a net when you could just open the bottle? I have so many questions about his business plan. We could have another Crazy Redd in the making.

This week’s Message of the Week on the bulletin board warned against making mountains out of molehills. But only because the moles don’t like it.

*Message of the Week* Don't make mountains out of molehills. It leads to angry moles.When I visited Puddles, I saw that she had her belongings packed up in boxes. I decided I would only try to save her one time, and if it didn’t work, I would let her go. But fortunately, she mentioned a cancel penalty, and I think that means I saved her.

Puddles: What am I supposed to do about the cancel penalty, rib-ribbit?Crazy Redd was in town, and I used the password “mice shop” to squeak inside his tent. I bought the worthy painting he had for 3,920 bells. I took it over to the museum, and Blathers told me it was a real work of art! I donated it immediately.

Worthy painting. Donor: Jeff.

Curly the Cannibal

I visited Curly tonight, and he told me that he put a fossil in his room. But then, he told me he prefers spare ribs to fossils! Wow, he’s a cannibal!

Curly: But, to be honest... I like spare ribs better than fossils...Why don’t you come over for dinner? I’ll chop up some spare ribs and maybe make some Curly fries too. You It will be delicious.

It’s funny because I remember seeing a post somewhere (probably Tumblr) that said all of the food dishes mentioned in Animal Crossing games didn’t include meat (fish yes, but not beef or pork, etc.). Wish I could find it now. 😛 Maybe it just referred to New Leaf, although I don’t think it made that distinction.

When I spoke to Rhonda, she said she was so glad she got to know me and become close to me. She said we’ll be best friends.

Rhonda: I want to be very close to you, captain! We'll be best friends, on my horn!
Yeah, I’ve heard that before. Get out of here.

I visited Joey, and he was telling me that fossils smell really good. Apparently they smell like dirty gems.

Joey: They're sweet and earthy at the same time. Like the smell of, uh, dirty gems!A new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board says that pelicans are the symbol for savings. According to Katrina, at least.

-Talking to Myself- Katrina told me that the pelican was the symbol for savings. I'm not sure how I feel about that.I went to the Roost for the Saturday night musical performance, and K.K. Slider played K.K. Country for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Country!I didn’t make much money tonight–just the bells from the money rock and from selling the one fossil I found. So I only made a 10,000 bell mortgage payment this time. I’ll try to do better next time, if I can.
