Mint’s Rude Visit

On Sunday, Mint demanded that I invite her over to my house. I’ve thought these visits were rare, but maybe it’s just because I don’t play during the day very often. (This was in the afternoon.)

Mint: Invite me over already, sparkles!

We arranged a time, and I had half an hour to kill. I went to Shampoodle and got my hair done, and completed my transformation into Mohawk McClover. When the time came, Mint showed up as scheduled.

Mint: Well, it's about TIME I came over, ahhhhhh!

She was being rude about the whole thing, which made me regret inviting her over at all.

Mint: So, let me give you this advice. Don't compromise your creativity. That is, don't CLUTTER.
It’s not clutter, it’s a collection.

She rated me a three-star rating (out of five).

Mint: Then you can actually call it a home. For now, on my five-star scale, I'm forced to rate you ⭐⭐⭐.

It’s been easy to overlook the fact that Mint is a snooty villager, because she rarely acts like it in this game. But during this visit, it really showed.

Mint: Well, the perfect guest ALWAYS knows when it's time to leave. And since I'm perfect...
Buh-bye.

Remind me to never invite her over again.

She later sent me a letter in the mail thanking me for having her over, and she attached a robo-chair to the letter.

Today, I found a new house in the northeast part of town. An alien moved in!

Ruby: I'm Ruby, and I'm totally moving into your town!

It’s Ruby, who also lived in Forest in 2012. I always called her an alien due to her house/furniture, but also because of her creepy red eyes. 👽 Another point of interest is that I now have two white rabbits in town, with Gabi being the other. (Or three, if you count me in my bunny hood.) 😆

Pete was out delivering mail today, and he was talking about Phyllis. He hopes she’ll be even more abrasive next time. 😛

Pete: I bet Phyllis is just playing hard to get! That's so cute. Maybe next time, she'll be even more abrasive...

And if you haven’t already seen, I recently posted a new episode of Mario Plays ACCF. Check it out!

I’ve also posted a short video comparing my savings accounts in each of the five main Animal Crossing games (in the form of an animated line chart race). Here is that video too, if you’re interested:

See you next time!

Sick Bear, Gone Bear

I received Tutu’s goodbye letter in the mail today. I’ll bearly miss her.

My friend Jeff, I'm moving away from Forest. Thanks for all the memories, Jeff! Byeeeee! Tee hee! -Tutu

Forest’s only remaining bear, Grizzly, was sick with a cold. So I gave him some medicine I had attached to a letter. For a sick bear, he can still do backflips pretty well. 😛

Grizzly flips as he takes his medicine.

Antonio was having some coffee in the Roost, while trying to stay awake. Apparently, Brewster puts him to sleep. Maybe Brewster is secretly serving decaf coffee.

Antonio: Don't know why, but I get totally sleepy when I look at Brewster...

I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed K.K. Tango. It’s pretty good, actually.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Tango.

Mint offered to sell me a No. 67 shirt for 366 bells, and I bought it just to be nice. I even put it on! For now, at least. I’ll be changing into something else soon…and I need to get my hair dyed green next week. 🍀

Tutu Out

When I played yesterday, I saw the quadrennial Leap Day notice on the bulletin board. This is the 4th Leap Day since the game has released.

~Leap Day~ Today is February 29th, the day that comes but once every four years! Do you feel like you gained a day?!

Nana sent me a letter thanking me for the medicine I gave her last week, and she attached a deluxe range to the letter (somehow). 😛

I shot down a balloon present against a nearly cloudless blue sky. I found a metronome inside.

A balloon present flies overhead...but not for long.

Tutu informed me that she was moving out, and I did not try to stop her.

Tutu: I'm moving, twinkles!

As you can see in that screenshot, Pascal was in town. I gave him a scallop, and he started talking about clowns clownfish.

Pascal: Clownfish don't even own a clown CAR, maaan! How do they do it?
He gave me a ship compass in return.

I played again tonight, and I listened in on a conversation between Antonio and Mint.

Antonio: Yo, Mint, wouldn't it be weird if we were married?

Antonio told Mint that it would be weird if they were married, and this offended Mint in two ways. One, that he would think she would ever marry him, and two, because he said it would be weird. 😛

Surprisingly, Tutu was already packed up to dance out of town! So I said goodbye to her.

Tutu: I was happy at first. But then I cried.
Just grin and bear it.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Lullaby for me. And sure enough, it made me yawn. 🥱

K.K.: Here's a jam that'll shine the blues clean off your shoes... It's called K.K. Lullaby.

I delivered a gift from Big Top to Tom, and Big Top rewarded me with a coffee maker.

Big Top: Huh huh huh huh! Nothing screams 'Jeff' like a coffee maker!

I found two furniture items in the recycle bin tonight, including a wide-screen TV! The other item was a judge’s bell, but who throws away a wide-screen TV? 😆 (Then again, it only sells for 550 bells, so it’s not quite the steal I thought it was.)

See you next time!
