My house has now been expanded to 6 x 6. Now I’m not so crowded in my house. It’s just what my flying saucer wanted…more space.

As soon as I came out of my house, I noticed a new house just behind my own. I went inside, and met my newest neighbor, Kiki. She’s a black cat that admittedly looks a bit weird, but I actually like her quite a bit. I’ve had her in my City Folk and GameCube towns before.

She is my 8th villager in town. Sadly, that is the maximum number of animal villagers you can have in Wild World (as opposed to 10 in New Leaf and City Folk, and 15 in the GameCube game). But on the bright side, maybe somebody will move out soon. We’ll see.

When I went into Nook ‘n’ Go, Tom Nook informed me that I now owe him 120,000 bells for my house expansion. Ouch. That’s going to take me a while. On the bright side, he did have a slingshot for sale today, which I bought. Still no bug net, though.

When I ran into Chevre, she wasn’t very happy with me for blowing her off on Sunday. Oh well. She didn’t give me the option to cancel, and I wasn’t going to wait around an hour just for her.

I met up with Yuka outside, and she is still waiting on me to give her some chic furniture (from when she asked me on Saturday). Hahaha, I’m never going to give her any! I’m glad to see she’s still waiting, though. Let her be even more disappointed. Or angry, even. I’ll enjoy every second of it! 😀

Pate told me that the fishing tournament is coming up soon. Hopefully I’ll remember to play early enough in the day to participate!

I visited Baabara in her house, and she asked me what was the prettiest thing in the world. I refused to choose the “You, of course” option and I said “Um, depends” instead. She wasn’t happy that I didn’t pick her, and she wanted me to say “Hail Queen Baabara” for forgiveness. That’s shear lunacy. Keep dreaming.

Over by town hall, Chevre asked me if I had a cup on me. I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it I told her no. She then lectured me about staying germ free, and then she gave me a tartan rug. What does a tartan rug have to do with germs, or a cup? I was very confused.

After digging up a fossil and donating it to the museum, I returned home and ended my game for the night. See you next time!

Update: Here is a video showing some of the events from yesterday and today:

Well, I found my first pitfall today. Or to be more specific, it found me. It was right on the edge of where the grass meets the dirt, and they’re hard to see when they’re right there. Oh well, maybe I’ll spot the next one.

When I chatted with Static tonight, he said that even though we’re just acquaintances so far, we’ve got chemistry. Although, he was scared by that fact. I would’ve told him I’m friends with two clones of him in parallel universes (other Animal Crossing games), but I think that might have just made things weirder.

For the first time in Wild World, I heard the UFO tonight! Of course I don’t have a slingshot yet, not to mention the fact that I didn’t even see the UFO. But actually, I forgot to look at the top screen! D’oh. When I checked the footage I recorded, it was indeed visible on the top screen, although it was quite small (indicating it was far in the distance).

Because I didn’t notice it at the time, I went running off in the wrong direction. The good news is that I think the UFOs will be easier to shoot down in Wild World than they were in City Folk. That is, of course, if I remember to look at the top screen. 😛

I saw a tiny bug jumping around on the ground. It looked like a flea and hopped like a flea, but there were no animals around. (See the GIF). If only I had a net…

I didn’t play yesterday, so I didn’t see the notice, but Nook’s Cranny has now upgraded to Nook ‘n’ Go, the convenience store!

The tools Nook had for sale today were a fishing rod, an axe, and a timer. I don’t really need the axe yet, since I’m nowhere near the point where I’m trying for perfect town status. The timer is pretty useless when there’s no online play any more, and I already have the rod. Hopefully he’ll get a net or slingshot soon.

There was a new house in town, and I found Baabara the sheep inside. Like Static, she also lives in my GameCube town. But unlike Static, I hate Baabara’s guts. She has a long history of being very rude to me on GameCube, so I’ll try to make her miserable while she’s here.

As I came out of her house, I stepped right into a conversation (an argument, really) between Pate and Static. Static wanted to hire Pate to dig some ditches, but Pate refused. It was kind of funny how my head kept going from side to side as they each spoke. But I wonder why Static needed some ditches dug. Graves for Yuka and Baabara? Oh, I wish.

After selling some oranges and a few other things, I had enough money to pay off my first mortgage to Tom Nook! My house will be expanded by tomorrow!

I finished up my night with a little fishing. One of the fish I caught was a crucian carp, which I donated to the museum. Blathers was quite excited about it, and he started talking about fish tacos. But this donation is for the museum, buddy. Not your stomach.

I’ll see you all next time! 🙂

I met up with Bill the duck today, and he was talking about mixing various foods. He wanted to take some miso soup and pour it over peach cobbler. I told him it sounded awful, and he got mad. He said I don’t know a thing about gourmet living (I never said I did), and he told me to enjoy my hot dogs on white bread. Maybe I will!

There was another new house in town, and this one belonged to Static the squirrel! Static is one of my favorite villagers in the series. In fact, I already have him in my GameCube town and my City Folk town! So I currently have him in three of the four main Animal Crossing games! Static must be clinging to me.

I found today’s money rock and got seven money bags out of it. I’m not sure if that’s the maximum (at least for non-lucky days), but it scored me a cool 8,500 bells. That’s the equivalent of selling 85 oranges! It sounds like the money rock may be my main source of income for a while. Especially since all the fossils I’ve identified so far have been donated to the museum, and I haven’t acquired any foreign fruit yet.

Chevre asked to come visit my house tonight, and I was going to let her. Until I realized it was one of those meetings where I had to schedule a time. I couldn’t back out of it, so I just picked a random time and never followed through with it. I don’t have time for this. Either come right away or don’t come at all.

Alfonso suggested a new nickname for me, but it was quite a stretch: He said I’m now known as Dr. J!

I did a little fishing, but none of the fish I caught were new ones. So I sold everything that I caught. Tom Nook didn’t have any new tools I needed in stock today, but I did buy myself a flying saucer for my house. It seems to spin faster than it does in the other games.

At town hall, Phyllis told me about the town of Boondox. She told me I can donate money to help the residents of that underdeveloped town, whose residents eat nothing but grilled dirt. I’ll contribute to the cause in the future, but I have much to do here in Forest first.

I then moved over to the other counter and made my first mortgage payment. I paid 10,000 bells, so I still owe 8,400 bells.

Surprisingly, I didn’t run into Yuka today. It must be my lucky day! See you next time!
