At Club LOL today, I finally got the shock emotion from Shrunk! I’m really glad to have it.
After collecting my four daily fossils, I found a lost item on the beach. I went around asking Katt, Rolf, Molly, Tex, Benedict, and Rory, but it didn’t belong to any of them. Aurora was in Re-Tail, but it wouldn’t let me ask her about it. So I barged into Fuchsia’s house, and she thought it was a raid!
What is she growing in here that she fears a raid? Hmmm…
Well the lost item wasn’t hers, but I gave her a gift from Molly. She thanked me and gave me a lemon. A lemon. Really?
I kid, but a foreign fruit from a villager is actually a nice reward. It’s no snack bar, but I’ll take it.
As for the lost item, I had to think to figure out who I hadn’t asked yet. Oh no…Tabby. I hadn’t seen Tabby around town, so I headed over to her house. Her light wasn’t on, but Tabby was home. And thankfully, the lost item was hers.
She said it was full of her favorite makeup!
Just look at that face…
As thanks, she gave me a blue gym tee. After a quick stop at Re-Tail, I ended my game for the night.
That’s right, Aurora threw me a surprise party!
Aurora and Big Top are two of my three favorite villagers, so it was really nice that they remembered my non-birthday. But wait… why is Katt here?! Party ruined. Just kidding…maybe.
I then had to blow out my candles…by literally blowing in the 3DS microphone. The problem is, I don’t know where the microphone is! So I started blowing all over my system until my character blew out his candles. This party is a really cute addition to the game. But when I was done partying 
In the mail, I had letters (with gifts attached) from Mom, Aurora, and Big Top.
That was the regular DLC for this month. But Best Buy also has another DLC item available: the cat tower.
Here is a look at both the palm-tree lamp and the cat tower. They’re both tall items.
After that, I went to work at the cafe. My notes are paying off, as I was able to get Big Top’s coffee perfect today.
And I also got Aurora’s coffee just right too. I’m glad I could repay them both for their kindness earlier.
As for the other two customers, I got their orders partially correct, but not perfect. But Brewster still gave me some superb coffee beans for my work.
After I finished my shopping run, I ended my game…for the moment. But since it’s July now, that means there are lots of new summer bugs (and fish) available. So I opened my gate tonight to do some late night bug-catching. But once again, disconnections were a problem tonight.
We caught some bugs and showed them off near the top of my east ramp.
Unfortunately, we soon got disconnected and lost those bugs. When I reopened, Wendy, Pelon, and Marcey came in. Pelon had asked me if he could have the funny glasses when I first mentioned them in a 
A bit later, I saw someone running around wearing a sombrero and a gas mask; that’s an odd combination. I didn’t know who it was!
We also dug holes around the stump so that we could fall from the stump into the holes. But because there was so much lag tonight, the people who fell into the holes didn’t struggle at all. They just stood there motionless in the hole! It was an odd sight to behold.
A bit later, we saw Katt. So naturally, we tried to kill her.
And shortly after that, Aurora asked me to find her some perfect fruit. Yeah, okay. I’ve only seen one perfect piece of fruit in two months, yet she expects me to give her some.
Wendy decided to go hide somewhere in town, and she told us to find her. Marcey was the first to find her; she was on my private beach. I joined them, but Pelon couldn’t–he didn’t have his wet suit with him.
But before long, we got disconnected again. So I lost some bugs and the silver axe. But that’s okay, because I prefer to get the silver tools on my own anyway. I was done in Forest at this point. But Wendy invited me over to see her police station, so I went to Oakville to take a look at it.
Unfortunately, Copper wouldn’t let me take items from the lost and found.
Back outside, I saw Kabuki. He asked how much I liked my town, and I said I liked it a lot. So he said he may have to check it out sometime.
Wendy also showed me her wind turbine, complete with sound effects.
And she had so many colors of flowers around her house that it looked like a box of Froot Loops threw up.
And inside, the demon cow admired her house.
And Fuchsia told me that she’s moving out of town on the 4th of July.
I didn’t try to stop her.
Over on the bridge, I ran into Benedict. He wanted a new greeting, so I told him to say “buhk buhk.” That was Hank’s catchphrase in the GameCube version of Animal Crossing.
And then I heard a balloon present flying by overhead. By the time I got my slingshot out, I saw something strange. The balloon was moving vertically (well…to the south). It confused me for a second, but then I saw it resumed its horizontal path (to the east). The reason? There was a house in the way! It altered its path to go around the house!
I did not know balloons would do that. So I didn’t shoot it down right away; I followed it to see if it would happen again. And sure enough, when it encountered a tent, it moved south one space to fit around the tent. It does not go back north to resume its original path, though; it stays on its new path. With no further houses in its way, I then shot it down before it went over the river.
After that, I went to go work at the cafe. Thanks to my previous notes (and the process of elimination), I was able to get Isabelle’s order correct. It’s funny how they never give the full details of how they like their coffee until after you’ve already figured it out.
In addition to good coffee beans, Brewster also gave me a siphon. I really don’t plan on filling my house with coffee-related items, but it was a nice gesture.
I’m still hoping for shock or disbelief, but surprise is a decent (but less dramatic) alternative to those. Looking at my list of emotions, it seems I only need 11 more of them to complete the collection.
It really would have been ideal if you could build it on the beach, since an Egyptian style pyramid like this should be around sand. But unfortunately, no projects can be built down there. If you even try going down the ramp, Isabelle will stop you.
But I did the next best thing: I put it just to the right of the ramp, just one space from the edge. So you’ll be able to see it from the beach (if you press up on the control pad) and even from the dock. So I’m looking forward to seeing that. Unfortunately, it’s a very expensive project–698,000 bells. So it may take some time to pay it off.
