Big Top at the Zoo

Boots informed me that on Mondays, he focuses on making his “inner muscles” really big. I’m not exactly sure what inner muscles he’s talking about, but I’m not sure I want to know. Uh, good luck with that, Boots.

Boots: Every Monday I'm going to focus on making my inner muscles twice as big!

Near Vivian’s house, I found a four-leaf clover. But in the corner of this screenshot, you can see Lolly looking sad because I talked to her too many times. 😛

I found a four-leaf clover! I wonder if that makes me lucky?

Big Top asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “up my nose,” and I knew I had to come up with something. He’s been using that one wayyy too long. Ultimately, I told him to say “at the zoo.” I spoke to him several more times, and he told me that he doesn’t want to be a green-eyed monster, at the zoo.

Big Top: I hate being jealous of other people. I don't want to be a green-eyed monster, at the zoo!

But my favorite Big Top quote of the day was when he said he tried to open his drawer with his foot, and he stubbed his toe at the zoo. It just sounds so nonsensical, I love it. 😂

Big Top: I was trying to open my drawer with my foot, and I stubbed my toe, at the zoo.
Maybe you should just use your trunk.

At the drive-in campground, Jingle’s RV was parked. Jingle was apparently enjoying some relaxing camping before the holiday season starts.

Jingle: Ho ho! This is your town, isn't it? Well, it's great! I hope you don't mind me visiting out of season!

Agent S was planning on moving away on September 10th, but I already got her to change her mind. I do have Agent S in my New Horizons town, so losing her in New Leaf wouldn’t be as bad as losing Lolly or Rolf. But still, I’d obviously prefer to keep her around!

At the Dream Suite, Luna informed me that Bug from Poketown was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

Fireworks 2020

I played for the first time in three weeks today (shame on me 😮), and I again had to make a trip to Shampoodle to get rid of my bedhead. When I started talking to my villagers, several of them made sarcastic comments about me finally leaving my house. 😛

Claudia: What's this? Tiny J back in Forest? I never thought I'd see the day.
I’d like to see the day when you’re not in Forest.
Aurora: I'm glad you decided to leave your house and get outside for a bit!

I made sure to catch up with Lolly, and she informed me that Rolf was planning on moving out of town!

Lolly: I was talking to Rolf not long ago, and he mentioned he was thinking about moving...

That is completely unacceptable! Unfortunately, I couldn’t get Rolf to ping me so I could change his mind. But I will try again tonight, and tomorrow if I have to. I’ll update this entry if I’m successful.

Update: After the fireworks festival ended, I saved/quit and re-started up the game. Rolf pinged me, and I was able to save him. That’s a relief. 🙂

The fireworks festival was underway tonight (it’s the 3rd of five this month), and Isabelle gave me a flower bopper to wear on my head. I stopped at several spots around town to enjoy the show.

Jeff watches fireworks from the brick bridge in Forest (Animal Crossing: New Leaf).

I also bought several of Redd’s cookies from his stand. I won a love tester, a boxed figurine, two Ten Billion Barrels, and an Ultra Hand.

Vivian told me I had a new reputation (or label): She said I was a world traveler!

Vivian: There's a rumor going around that you're a world traveler...

That is beyond puzzling to me, because I haven’t visited anybody in New Leaf in ages! I’m pretty sure it’s been at least a year, and maybe longer! I have no idea how this could have become my new label.

I updated my dream for the first time in ages. According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Keagon from New York and Aaryan from London. Thanks for stopping by!

Reminder: This blog isn’t very active any more, but you can find me posting on my New Horizons blog six days a week! Come on over if you’re not already there! 🙂

Have a great day, and Never Stop Crossing!
