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!

Bedhead, Saharah’s RV

It’s been over two weeks since I’ve played New Leaf, so I had a bad case of bedhead tonight. Oops.

Jeff has bedhead!

Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve ever had bedhead in this game…at least with my main character. Booker has had it before, but not Jeff. Shampoodle was already closed for the night, so I was stuck with the messy hair.

At Re-Tail, I saw that Boots is selling his Manneken Pis. I guess he needed to liquidate his assets.

Reese: Oh, the Manneken Pis? This item belongs to Boots from here in Forest.

My villagers mentioned not seeing me for a while, and they caught me up on what’s been going on in the meantime.

Big Top: Lots of stuff has happened while you've been done! Like...I got a new comic book.

Aurora asked me to bury a time capsule for her. That’s a request I haven’t had lately! So I buried it near the northwest corner of town, next to Resetti’s manhole.

Aurora: Sorry to spring this on you, but would you be interested in burying my time capsule for me?

Saharah’s RV was parked at the campground, and I don’t remember seeing it before. At least, I don’t seem to have posted any pics of her RV to the blog, so I thought I’d post one now. I like the Aquarius urn and tile screen. And if you’re wondering, the items in the top-right corner are two different looms.

Molly mentioned moving on the 5th of the upcoming month, but I made my main mallard modify her master plan.

According to Luna, my most recent dream visitor was Chris from Murray. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
