I found all three of today’s fossils, which is something I haven’t done in a while. That’s because I’ve been missing one of them, near the northwest corner of town, since the beginning of October! That area is a dead-end, and I was in the habit of going north along the river as far as I could, and turning back. But today, I went around the trees there, and from the other side, I spotted the elusive fossil.

I think it’s the autumn grass color that makes it harder to find them all this time of year. At least for me with my colorblindness. 😛

Goldie was all packed up and ready to move out of town, but I did not let her go.

Dr. Shrunk was walking around town tonight, but I didn’t even speak with him.

When I visited Patty, she told me that I rule! That caught me by surprise, but she was just practicing giving compliments because Yay Day is coming up. 😛

Big Top was telling me about his superhero alter ego, Fashion Lad. He said he’s saving the world from tackiness, one tube top at a time. 😀

I played a bit later than I usually do, so I didn’t get to sell as much fruit as I have been lately. Oh well. See you next time.

Yesterday, I received Victoria’s goodbye letter in the mail.

I also received a letter from Mom. She told me that she heard people in big cities like to wear smaller clothes. She sent me an elephant shirt along with the letter.

When I visited Big Top, he again asked for clothes to wear while taking a bath. I offered him the elephant shirt, since he is an elephant, after all…and he loved it!

He gave me a puffy hat to thank me.

At Nookington’s, Tom Nook was asking me about the way he dresses. He asked if I thought he commands the respect that an owner of a shop, and I answered “Uh, maybe?” Keep in mind there was no “yes” or “no” options; only “maybe” and “that’s enough.” He rambled a bit, and said his clothes don’t suit him. I’ve seen this bit of dialogue before, but there’s more to this later in the entry.

Margie was still sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

I played again today, and Tom Nook had some follow-up dialogue. And it caught me off-guard!

I did NOT say his clothes were ugly! But he said Mabel said that to him, and she told him to dress more hip. Tom did not appreciate the insult, and he called Mabel a child.

Anyway, Nook had a spotlight product today. However, it was just a regal clock.

Margie was still sick, so I bought her some more medicine once again.

Victoria’s replacement moved in today, and it’s Patty the cow. I’ve had her in my GameCube and City Folk towns before. I have a fairly neutral opinion of her: She’s not one of my favorites, but I don’t really dislike her either. Welcome to Forest, Patty!

My 2nd-newest villager Rolf asked me for a fossil, so I gave him one that I dug up today: a shark tooth.

He rewarded me with 520 bells.

See you all next time!

Antonio was talking about flowers today, including pansies, cosmos, roses, and…toobies?

I’m guessing he was thinking of tulips, but he couldn’t think of the correct word. 😛

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, but it was an exotic chest again! That’s the same item as last week, and it’s at least the third time the exotic chest has shown up.

Goldie apparently had an argument with Benedict, and she was feeling really down. I hope you feel better soon!

Victoria was all packed up and ready to move out of town. I like Victoria, but I did not try to stop her.

Margie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her.

Big Top asked me for some clothes he could wear while taking a bath, so I bought a fresh shirt for him at Able Sisters. But when I gave it to him, he refused it!

And suddenly, I remembered why I stopped helping out with these clothing requests for a while. 😛
