The December fishing tournament was held today, and many of the villagers were participating, or at least talking about the event.
Amelia advised me to think like a fish. So I started making fish faces and saying “glub glub.”
But she warned me that if I started smelling like a fish, I’ve gone too far. So I sniffed myself to make sure. Good news: I smelled like a sweaty Santa. What a relief.
As I made my way around town, I dug up a gyroid. That in itself isn’t all that noteworthy, but this time I noticed that it was a tootoid…a farting gyroid. I chose not to sniff it.
But the reason the tootoid caught my attention was that I’ve long wanted a fourth tootoid to put in Club LOL. And now I have it. UPDATE: Actually, it turns out the third one is a mini dekkoid…so I still need one more tootoid. My bad!
Back in town, I found two snowballs not too far from each other. I wanted to build a (bingo) snowman, but I made it too small and ended up with a snowboy instead. The good news was that he was perfect, so he’ll be sending me a piece of snowman furniture in the mail tomorrow.
Once I completed my walk around town, I went to get some fish for Chip. I caught one sea bass, but I mainly just used fish I already had at my dock box. I set the high score five times. Here’s a list of the fish I used, how big they were, and my reward for each:
- sea bass, 34.95 inches — washbasin
- sea bass, 37.75 inches — soda case
- ribbon eel, 49.50 inches — crab clock
- shark, 200.80 inches — exotic bureau
- whale shark, 234.20 inches — sleek dresser
So four of my five prizes were just regular furniture items. Disappointing.
Later on, I attended the ceremony, where I was awarded the gold fishing trophy. Agent S finished in second place, while Amelia came in third.
Shortly before 9:00, I spotted the northern lights for the first time this winter.
I then finished up my night with K.K.; he performed Surfin’ K.K. for me at Club LOL.
Note: Kira from Kamui was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!
Up at the Happy Homes Showcase, Joseph from Detroit gave me a red pinwheel.
In Re-Tail, I put two paintings up for sale in case any of my visitors tonight needed them.
Shortly after 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Meli and Tiffiny came over to visit, and I showed them that Santa is not just some tall tale.
Jessica also came over to visit, so I then had a full house. And whenever Jessica visits, a hammer fight is never far behind.
After the fighting subsided a bit, we all wandered off on our own. Jessica commented on my yellow brick road, and I told her to follow it. It led her to me…and my hammer. Round two! Fight!
This time, it turned into a major brawl.
But before long, Jessica 
So we went out to the island for some tours. Maybe I was seeing things, but I thought I saw Meli get into the boat next to me, and then she got back out! Is that even possible?
Notice how Jessica said “i need shower” in that picture? Yeah, I thought I smelled something funny on the boat ride over.
We finished the tour with hardly any time left on the clock at all. Tortimer gave us bronze Tortimer awards and only two medals. For all that work? For being so cheap with the medals, Santa’s going to make sure he gets coal in his stocking.
We did a little better on the next game, a gardening tour. We got silver Tortimer awards and five medals.
We then went on two fishing tours.
I only got third place on the first one, but I actually won the second one. On that one, we won gold Tortimer awards and eight medals. Maybe because that was the first one where I pulled my own weight. And speaking of weight, is Meli weightless? Because it looks like she was walking on water.
After that, Jessica had to go, so we returned to Forest.
The rest of us went to my house, where Tiffiny trapped Meli on the toilet. And I trapped Tiffiny trapping Meli on the toilet. But Meli just wanted some toilet paper. I told her maybe if she’s good, she’ll get some in her stocking in two weeks. Hope she can wait that long.
Upstairs, I have four mannequins, and three of them are dressed as Pikmin. As for the other one, Meli had a hard time believing it was a Pikmin too. Don’t worry, it’ll be in the sequel. Pikmin 666. For Super Wii U U U 64.
Once we were done in my house, Tiffiny was writing something on the bulletin board as Meli and I went up to Club LOL.
Things got a little awkward when I saw myself on TV.
But the mere mention of TV had Meli asking 
Before I shut the game off, I saw Saharah in town. So I hired her to put in new wallpaper and carpeting, and she installed this chic wall and classic carpet in my house.
I had a good time tonight, so thank you to Meli, Tiffiny, and Jessica for visiting. And thank you all for reading this blog. I hope you all have a great weekend!
This morning, Re-Tail was buying turnips for 138 bells each. Since the week is winding down, I decided to sell about two-thirds of my turnips at that price. In the afternoon, the price went up even further, to 183 bells. So I sold the rest of my turnips and then put all of my money into my bank account. My balance topped 29 million bells.
Amelia told me she was going to move out of town on December 14th. The cool part was how she said it: She said that winter puts her in a migrating mood. Hats off to Nintendo for that clever bit of writing.
I told Amelia to stick around, though. I already have all ten of my villagers’ Toy Day hints, and nothing is going to mess that up.
A regular snowmam will give you a piece of ice furniture in exchange for five snowflakes, but a perfect snowmam only requires three snowflakes.
I had two already, but I quickly found a third to give her. In exchange, she gave me an ice closet. Each piece of ice furniture sells for 8,888 bells, so catching snowflakes can be quite lucrative.
Tomorrow is Friday Night Forest, so the people on my friend roster can visit when I open my gate around 10 pm Eastern time (7pm Pacific time). Bring your snowflakes, because my snowmam will still be alive and well! I’ll be back late tomorrow night with another blog entry. See you then!
