Crane Game

Today, Big Top asked me for a new greeting. “Join the circus,” I told him.

Big Top: Join the circus! I love it! It's so cool sounding!And I was a bit tired of wearing the deep-blue tee, so I ordered a flame shirt from T.I.Y. yesterday. It arrived today, and I put it on. Does this make me look hot?

Me putting on the flame shirt.When I banged a nearby rock with my shovel, gems started coming out. This is my second gem rock in three days. The best part is that three of the gems were gold nuggets!

A bunch of ore from today's gem rock.I took the gold nuggets to Cyrus to have him turn them into furniture. I hope it’s not another clock! But I had half an hour to kill first, so I continued my walk around town. Crazy Redd’s tent was in town, so I went inside and bought this robust statue.

Redd: Whoa! I see you've got eyes only for that robust statue there! I'd say it has eyes for you too!After leaving the tent, I soon spotted Phineas! He gave me the village leader badge, which is for players with over 200 hours of gameplay. This is my second silver badge.

I got the Village Leader badge! I'm still enjoying the good life here!Once I finished watering my flowers and digging up corpses fossils, I returned to Re-Tail. I picked my new golden closet.

Take home the golden closet?When I returned to my house, Aurora surprised me with a visit. After standing around for a couple minutes, she gave me a crane game for absolutely free!

Aurora: Oh! I'd like to give you something. It's a crane game that reminded me of you.The crane game works just like you’d expect: The crane moves, starts to pick up a stuffed animal, drops it before it has a good grip, and then returns to the starting position. I’m wondering if I should try to make this a carnival-themed room.

My new crane game.When I was done in my house, I went up to Main Street. I talked to Nook, and I told him to add a new room on the right side of my house. He said it will be done tomorrow.

Tom Nook: The work will be fully completed by tomorrow morning. I'm so sure you must be very excited, yes, yes!And just a word of warning. Unlike previous DLC items, the new shaved-ice lamp can NOT be ordered from the catalog! The Nooklings list is as “not for sale.” So you may want to think twice before giving it away or selling it; you may not get one again.

Shaved-ice lamp DLC: Not for sale.A message on the bulletin board told me there will be a meteor shower in Forest tonight. I may check it out later, but I likely won’t post a picture until tomorrow. So I’ll see you all then!
