Similar But Different

On Monday, Inkwell told me that he had to let out a yell. So this is what he yelled:

Inkwell, yelling: I've got the ears of an octopus!
But you are an octopus. And you don’t have ears.

Yesterday, Gulliver was in town, talking about motorcycles and pho. So I knew he was headed to Vietnam.

Gulliver: ...Phooooooo! That's right! It's Vietnam! I remember now!

Later, I found a lost item (a book) on the ground. I asked all seven of the villagers that were awake, and it didn’t belong to any of them. I even had to search through the museum just to ask Lolly about it. 😛

Handing a book to Lolly.

But it didn’t belong to any of them…so I knew it had to belong to one of the three lazy villagers that were sleeping.

Today, I continued my search. It turned out that the book belongs to Hornsby. He thanked me for returning it by giving me a six-ball tee.

Hornsby: Hey! This is my book! I was looking everywhere for this thing! I figured it was gone forever.

When I checked the mail, I found a conical straw hat from Gulliver over in Vietnam.

Toy Day is approaching, and many of my villagers have been giving me hints on what types of gifts they would like this year.

Cube: Anyway, I'm really hoping my present this year is yellow.

I still need several more clues, but here’s a summary of what they want so far:

  • Agent S: an umbrella
  • Aurora: green wallpaper
  • Boots: a plant
  • Cube: yellow food
  • Inkwell: white clothes
  • Lolly: beige wallpaper
  • Molly: an aqua doll

Once you know what everyone wants, the Toy Day event is rather quick and easy (at least compared to earlier games). So I’m planning on taking part in the event this year. So unless plans change, look for a new blog entry on Christmas Eve.

Boots asked me for a new piece of furniture to replace his portable toilet. He wanted something similar, but different.

Boots: I think I need to swap out my old portable toilet for a new piece that's similar...but different.

I saw that there was a super toilet for sale at Re-Tail, so I bought that. I gave it to Boots, and he loved it! He rewarded me with a wobbelina.

Boots: Wow! A super toilet! It's perfect!

It’s completely insane that I connected the dots on this, but the phrase “similar but different” could be abbreviated S.B.D. You know another phrase that starts with those same letters? Silent, but deadly. How appropriate for a toilet, too. 😛

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors include Cupcake from Pizza and Jacob from Gooston. Thanks for stopping by, and Happy Holidays! See you soon! 🙂
