The snowman I added to my house last week gave a boost to my HRA score, but it wasn’t as big as I hoped. My score now sits at 145,744 points. I have a feeling that my room full of flowers may be hurting my score. So I added a Master Sword, which I got from Wishy in the mail for wishing on a shooting star, to add to my Nintendo bench in there.

Mathilda asked me about her outfit yesterday, wondering if I thought it made it look like she was looking for fossils, love, or her true self. I guessed “love,” and she made a comment about finding boys in dirt. Huh?

I neglected to notice she was holding a shovel, so apparently the correct answer was fossils. 😛

Antonio was packed up and ready to move out, but I asked him to stay. I still need his picture, so I want to keep him around until he hands it over.

Today, the flea market was underway. But I really had no interest in buying junk from my villagers. Sorry, Big Top. 😛

And speaking to villagers without buying anything makes them sad. I’m really not a fan of this event.

Even some of the outdoor villagers don’t want to talk because they’re thinking about selling stuff. Bunnie wanted to rush home to sell a nasty old couch.

Mathilda wasn’t talking about the flea market, because her mind was on pill bugs instead for some reason. She said that back in the day, pill bugs were as big as us! Now that is a creepy thought!

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon!

Completing the snowman furniture set resulted in a very nice bounce in my Happy Room Academy score. It jumped from 113,968 to 144,856! I’m very close to my goal of 150k now! 😀

I also received a letter from the snowman, and he mentioned that Bright Nights is his favorite time of the year. Except that the snowman who sent that letter never saw the Bright Nights! They took place the previous week. But still, he sent me the snowman I was hoping for! I added it to my main room.

There was a new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board, complaining about nonsensical words in pop songs. Hmm, I wonder what song they’re talking about. 😛

Margie advised me not to let my mailbox fill up, because my mailbox “is my window to the heart.” I don’t think I’ve heard that one before.

Rolf asked me for a fossil, and I had trouble finding them today. With the snow gone now, the dig spots blend in better with the grass and dirt colors. But I did eventually find all three, and I gave Rolf an ammonite.

He rewarded me with an illusion floor.

I’ve been thinking about who my favorite villager is in town, and I’m currently leaning towards it still being Goldie. Even though I might like Rolf as a character better overall, favorites can vary by game. Goldie has lived in this town much longer, and I feel like we’ve built a friendship more…while Rolf frequently rubs me the wrong way in Wild World.

Have any of you had something similar, where you might prefer one villager over another in one game (or town), but not in another?

As expected, I received a letter from Boondox today…the final letter from Boondox (aka Boondopolis). Apparently, my donations have been helping someone (who can’t be bothered to sign their own name) to get into Lake University.

The rainbow feather was included. For those of you who just played the Festivale event in New Horizons or New Leaf this week, don’t be fooled. Unlike in those games, the rainbow feather in Wild World is a difficult item to obtain. You only earn it once Boondox is complete, which requires a total of 6.4 million bells in donations. I’m glad to finally have it done. Woohoo! 🥳

I also received a letter from the snowman I built last week, and he sent me a snowman table. It’s a large item, so I had to change up my main room again. Here’s a look at (part of) my room, and also my new rainbow feather.

The table is my 10th snowman furniture item, so it appears that my snowman set is now complete. Technically, the snowman does give another item (a snowman), but it seems to count as a separate item and not a part of the furniture set itself. So I’ll see if I get a nice bonus in my HRA score next week (I scored 113,968 this week.)

Back outside, Antonio was wondering who built the museum. He figured that it couldn’t be Blathers, because he doesn’t have the “wing strength.”

Goldie was packed up and ready to move away, but I gave her some doggie treats to get her to reconsider. 😉 🦴

Bunnie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some more medicine for her. Hopefully it will help, because her hallucinations are getting pretty bad. 😛

I wrapped up my night by making another snowman. Hopefully he will send me the snowman item in the mail. We only have one more week until the snow is gone!

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
