Amazing Painting

Near town hall, I checked out the new message of the week. It says that joy is received, not taken.

*Message of the Week* Joy is received. Not taken. Peace!Joey must have given his sickness to Puddles, because the pink frog now has a cold. It seems like there’s almost always someone who’s sick in town.

Sick Puddles flips as she takes some cold medicine.Crazy Redd was in town, and I bought an amazing painting from him. I took it over to the museum, where Blathers informed me that it was a real piece of art! So I donated it, and it’s the first painting visible when you walk into the art gallery.

Amazing painting. Donor: Jeff.I went downstairs to the Roost, and I found Phyllis enjoying a cup of coffee. She was also enjoying the chance to be rude.

Phyllis: Look, if you've got nothing to say, just go over there, OK?! (How annoying!)I sat next to her and ordered a cup of coffee as well.

Bitter! So bitter! It's like a banshee, screaming in my taste buds!Back outside, I ran into Baabara. She asked if I was taking good care of “that item” she gave me the other day. I didn’t know what she was talking about, so I replied with “What item?” She then angrily reminded me about her picture that she gave me. Oops. Oh yeah, that.

Baabara: That was a really good picture of me! If you lost it... I'll REALLY lose it!
It’s fine, so calm your fluffy nerves.

I caught some bugs and fish, but I didn’t find any that were particularly valuable. With summer over, it’s hard to make much money now. But I did make a 15,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall.

Kiki’s Pic

I got another letter from Lyle today, sending me 100 bells for my latest bee sting. Speaking of Lyle, he was also hovering around my house again today. I just ignored him.

Near Kiki’s house, I found another four-leaf clover! Two times in a row? That’s unusual. I don’t need them though, so I ended up selling them both.

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it had a daily horoscope inside. Of course, I don’t know what day it was for, since it’s presumably been in the ocean for a long time. 😛 But it said I’ll run around like a shovel-wielding maniac wearing a hockey mask. What kind of horoscope is that? I’d be doing that regardless.

Daily Horoscope: During the lunar eclipse, you'll run around like a shovel-wielding maniac. Wear a hockey mask. -Astrocon IndustriesJoey was finally over his cold, so he thanked me for “saving his life.” He rewarded me with some steel flooring.

Joey: I should give you something for saving my life, bleeeeeck!

After Puddles greeted me with an unusual compliment, she reminded me that Yay Day is tomorrow. She wants me to shower her with compliments. But I won’t be participating this time.

Puddles: Jump in puddles!! J-rock, you're like a big stick of happy TNT!Over by town hall, Hopper asked me for a new catchphrase. Don’t judge me. But I told him to say “if I fart.” 😛 He thought it sounded a bit too cheerful.

Hopper: ..."If I fart!" Isn't that a little too cheerful for me?I continued speaking to him, trying to get him to use his new catchphrase in a variety of sentences. So he was talking about migratory locusts, and he said they wig out if he farts.

Hopper: I hear they totally wig out, if I fart!But eventually, he got tired of talking. He told me to go far, far away…if he farts. 😀

Hopper: Go away, if I fart! Somewhere far, far away!He asked me to make a delivery to Kiki for him, and I agreed to help out. When I returned, he thanked me by giving me his sword.

Hopper: Hey, why don't you take my sword, if I fart?I think I have too much fun with catchphrases sometimes. 😀

Hopper: When things are rough, we gotta stick together, if I fart!

I was playing during the daytime today, because I was looking for something specific…and I found it! At long last, I have finally caught an orchid mantis!

I caught an orchid mantis! It hunts in flowers!I donated it to the museum right away. I checked on my bug collection, and I still need eight more insects. That’s a higher number than I was expecting. But I’ll still complete the collection some day.

I ran into Kiki again, and she had a very nice surprise for me: She gave me her picture! She’s lived in town for a very long time (almost since the beginning), and she’s always been one of my favorites. So it’s nice to finally receive her picture. 🙂

Kiki: It's nothing much. Just a picture of me, le meow, but I hope you like it!
Thank you, Kiki! I do like it!

Rod bumped into me, and he gave me a bone shirt. Since Rhonda has been looking for new clothes for weeks, I decided to give her the bone. Now she’s all ready for Halloween!

Rhonda puts on a bone shirt in Animal Crossing: Wild World.When I returned home, I put Kiki’s pic in the room upstairs.

Not-So-Lucky Charm

Near my house tonight, I found a four-leaf clover on the ground. I’m not feeling very lucky lately, but maybe this will help.

WAHOO! I got the four-leaf clover!I visited Joey, and he was still sick. He even thinks he can understand what bugs are saying. I gave him medicine once again.

Joey: But, on the upside, I-I can understand what the bugs are saying now.Crazy Redd was in town, and I used the password “just cash” to get inside his tent. But unfortunately, his painting this week was the perfect painting. I already have that one in my museum.

Redd: Yes, yes. Now that there perfect painting is quite the little item.The “Message of the Week” on the bulletin board warned of putting tight pants on too quickly.

*Message of the Week* Put tight pants on slowly. Trust me on this one.I did a little fishing, hoping to find a shark. But no such luck.

I caught a tire!I also decided to shake some trees to see if I found anything good. I ended up finding…some bees.

I got stung by BEES! Ow!To be fair, I also found a fan, a hammock, and 200 bells. But all things considered, I don’t think that four-leaf clover really helped my luck.
