Opposable Thumbs

Static was back to being his usual cranky self when I visited him today.

Static: You don't go into a home AND YELL AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS! I CAN HEAR YOU!
You’re the only one yelling, you surly squirrel.

I figured I was due for a change of clothes, so I bought this wrestler shirt at Able Sisters.

Mabel: Wow! You are looking really, really good!Gracie was outside of town hall today, but I didn’t even speak to her. I did try to vandalize her car again, though.

Hitting Gracie's car with my shovel.Yuka suggested that we compete to see who could catch a yellow butterfly first. Since I just saw a yellow butterfly about two seconds before, I was confident I could win the competition. The fact that animals can’t catch bugs themselves also helped my chances. So I caught the bug and gave it to her; she rewarded me with 510 bells.

Yuka: I lost to you?! Those opposable thumbs you have really help, huh?
And yet you’re holding your net just fine.

The bulletin board’s message of the week was about milk and milk shakes.

*Message of the Week* Milk is good for you. Milk shakes, not so much.When I visited Chevre, she thanked me for all the medicine I’ve been taking her lately. She rewarded me with an imperial tile.

Chevre: If it weren't for you, I'd still be curled up in bed, feeling miserable!In Nookington’s, Tom Nook had some new dialogue for me. He was upset that Harriet suggested a new hairstyle for him. He believes that his current hairstyle is the only one that works for him. And he said that he trims his hair every single day!

Tom Nook: But I trim my hair every day, hm?Before wrapping up my day, I made a 33,000 bells mortgage payment at town hall. I only owe 40,000 more on my current loan, so I may be able to pay off by next week.

Caladium & Calcium

The flea market was held today, and I’m not a big fan. It means most of the villagers will be talking about buying or selling, which limits the topics of discussion. I visited Yuka, and she refused to sell me her turntable. But she offered to give me her caladium for just 490 bells, so I bought it.

Yuka: I'd be willing to sell my caladium to you. For 490 bells?
I didn’t particularly want it, but 490 bells isn’t much, so I thought I’d be nice for once.

A weather bulletin posted on the bulletin board said that the rainy season will start in June. Since I don’t bother with watering flowers in Wild World (at least not yet), I don’t particularly care if it rains or not.

-Weather Bulletin- Sunny, warm days through the foreseeable future. The rainy season should strike by June.Puddles wanted to move out of town once again, but I kept talking to her until she talked about changing her mind.

Puddles: Oh, what should I do? Should I change my mind, la baa?I caught a show at the Roost, and K.K. performed K.K. Condor for me. One of my favorites.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Condor!
oooooOOOOOoooooOOOOO

Rod was one animal that didn’t have the flea market on his mind. But that might just be because he’s lost his marbles. He asked me a very odd question about dinosaur fossils.

Rod: Have you ever looked at a dinosaur fossil and thought...

Rod: "Y'know, I should get more calcium in my diet"? Well, have ya?
Never.

I found two fossils tonight, but Nook’s shop was closed by the time I got them identified. So I didn’t make any mortgage payments this time.

Two More Villager Pics

You know how I was complaining about Static last time? I talked about how he’s rude and not very likable in this game. Well tonight, he thanked me for putting up with him.

Static: 'Cause you know, I can get kinda crabby sometimes and then I start mouthin' off.He then surprised me even more by giving me his villager pic. He said that even if he moves away someday, he still wants me to think about him. That was…dare I say it…nice of him.

Static: Then this picture will watch your EVERY MOVE, just like I would if I were there!

I found a note in a bottle down on the beach, and it contained this letter. It looks like Nintendo really wanted people to believe all these notes in bottles came from other players, even though many of them were programmed into the game.

Listen up!!! Tom Nook's shop is finally a convenience store! How's yours? How's the selection? -Convenience*store*freakThe latest message of the week on the bulletin board encourages people to recycle.

*Message of the Week* For the earth! For yourself! Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!When I bumped into Puddles, she said it was great that we’ve been friends for so long. She then handed me her villager picture too!

Puddles: So please take this! It's my picture! Isn't it so cute, la baa?!After getting just one villager picture (Chevre’s) in my first 6.5 months, I have now received two on the same day!

And speaking of Chevre, she was still sick today. So once again, I bought some medicine for her.

Chevre takes her cold medicine.

I did some fishing tonight, and I acquired three new catches. That included a loach from the river, a crawfish from a pond, and a clownfish from the ocean. I donated them all to the museum.

Blathers: When I hear loach, I think of a friend of mine who makes smoothies of them.
It’s Brewster, isn’t it?

I returned home to take a look at my new villager pictures. Static’s favorite quote is just “Zap!” while Puddles’ quote is “Hip hop ho! Hey, let’s go!” What a couple of great, thought-provoking, Shakespearean quality quotes. 😉

Quote on Puddles' pic: "HIP HOP HO! Hey, let's go!"Before wrapping up my game for the night, I made another 30,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall. See you next time!
