I found a note in a bottle on the beach tonight. It was from someone who apparently ate their profits on the stalk market. Hope it was tasty.
When I visited Hopper, I saw that he was trying to move out of town. I wasn’t about to let that happen, so I kept talking to him until I got him to reconsider.
On the bulletin board, there was a notice about the upcoming acorn festival. It starts on Monday! The Virtual Console version of Wild World (which is what I play) came out right after the acorn festival ended last year, so this will be my first time. I’m looking forward to giving it a try!
The flea market was going on today, so most of the animals inside their houses were trying to sell their junk furniture to me. When I told Baabara I wasn’t interested, she didn’t seem very happy about it.
I went over to the museum, and Blathers seemed a bit sad. He told me how it was once his dream to be an archaeologist, traveling the world to find new fossils (especially dinosaurs). I told him “good luck,” and he took that as a challenge. So he said he’s now going to find time to do some fieldwork of his own. I’m not sure how that’s possible when he’s working at the museum 24/7, but good luck, pal.
Downstairs, I went on a safari with a singing dog. Well, sort of.
Puddles was still sick, so I bought some medicine for her. She’s still not fully recovered yet though.
I caught a few fish, sold them, and then made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall. That was all I did for tonight, but I’ll be playing again very soon. Hope to see you next time.
Today is Big Top’s birthday, so I headed over to his house (after a quick stop at Nookington’s). He asked if I got a present for him, and indeed, I had. So I handed it over.
In return, he gave me a stately wall. Rhonda also attended his party, although she was wishing we had some birthday hats to wear.
Crazy Redd was in town, and I used the password “top dog” to get inside his tent. He had a worthy painting for sale, so I bought it for 3,920 bells.
I quickly took it over to the museum, but Blathers gave me some bad news. The painting was a counterfeit. 🙁 I guess I’m not worthy.
Puddles was still ill, so I gave her some medicine once again. She quickly gulped it down…or is that up?
After selling some fossils and fish at the store, I went over to town hall. There, I made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment.
Big Top had his belongings all packed up in boxes tonight. He was about to move out of town, just before his birthday next week! But of course, I talked him out of moving.
When I visited Joey, he asked me if I knew what paparazzi are.
He said he couldn’t understand what kind of father is a “Razzi.”
Outside, Rhonda told me she thought her outfit made her look pretty.
I took a step back to see what she was wearing…the bone shirt I gave her last time. Um, okay…
I then listened in a conversation between Kiki and Rod. Kiki asked Rod what type of cake he would be, if he could choose. Rod replied that he’d be a “beefcake,” because of the muscles all over his body.
Kiki got mad because Rod put such an image in her mind. She thought it was completely disgusting.
Kiki stormed off in anger, while the argument made Rod depressed.
On the bulletin board, I found a new “Talking to Myself” message posted. The author admitted to eating 17 chocolate waffles yesterday. 😛
Puddles was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine again.
Down in the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He then performed K.K. Technopop for me. It’s not the best song when performed live…particularly at the beginning. Sounds like there’s not much to it.
After selling some things at Nookington’s, I encountered a scorpion! I had my net out, so I swung at it…but I missed. It moved in and attacked me! Unfortunately, it had better aim than I did. R.I.P. Jeff.
Earlier, Kiki had asked me to make a delivery to Hopper. It took me a while to track him down, but I eventually made the delivery. Surprisingly, Kiki was standing nearby, still mad about her argument with Rod. Hopper used his catchphrase in spectacular fashion.
He opened the gift, which was a cake shirt. He hated it so much that he said it was going to make him hurl. 😛 And if that reaction wasn’t extreme enough, he even said he couldn’t be friends with someone with such bad taste. And yet he keeps saying “if I fart” as he criticizes someone else for bad taste. Haha, I love it. 😛
I had to wait for Kiki to calm down before I could tell her I made the delivery. But she eventually gave me some slate flooring as my reward.
Anyway, I found three fossils tonight, and I also caught some bugs and fish. I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and I still have some stuff to sell next time (since the shop closed before I was done).
But there were two things I didn’t catch (well, three if you count that scorpion earlier). Two sharks. I spotted them in the ocean, and both times, they took the bait before I could reel them in. I’m convinced that sharks require a faster reaction time to catch than other fish in this game. It’s kind of annoying that I keep missing out on them!
My latest Wild World video is now online! It’s Ep. 10, and it includes some of the more interesting/funny events from August through this past Tuesday. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll be back on Tuesday with another entry.
