Tank Paper Scissors

On Wednesday, I made a couple of deliveries for Saharah. I took some carpet over to Tom Nook, and then some wallpaper over to Mabel. Saharah rewarded me with a boxing ring mat.

Saharah: Do you want an ancient wall or a boxing ring mat? >Carpet.

Drift was still sick on Wednesday, so I gave him some more medicine. By yesterday, he was feeling much better. He gave me some ceramic tile to thank me for the drugs.

Yesterday, Tank wanted to play a quick game of rock, paper, scissors. But we both chose “rock.”

Tank: I'm a total ROCK!
Yeah, you’re built like a tank.

He initially thought he had won the game, but then he realized it was a draw.

Tonight, I played in the evening when the sky was purple. But I noticed that from a certain distance, the waterfall also looked purple. Pretty cool. 😎

The cliffs and waterfall appear purple in the twilight.

I listened in on a conversation between Bones and Tank, and they were debating who would win if they raced each other. Bones thought Tank would be careless, and would therefore lose the race.

Bones: Tank is fast, but overconfident and careless.

Tank laughed at that suggestion, comparing it to a fairy tale. 😛

Tank: Dude, that is the worst story ever! A fairy tale is more believable than that!

Tank was glad that he’s a jock, because he said all “thinkers” are nut jobs. 😮

Tank: 'Cause all you thinkers are total nut jobs!

I’m not sure I would consider lazy villagers to be thinkers, but I wouldn’t consider them nut jobs either. Just don’t insult Bones, man. 😛

Later on, I attended K.K. Slider’s Saturday night concert. I asked for a random song, and he performed Mr. K.K. for me.

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

How does my Wild World savings balance stack up against my savings accounts in other Animal Crossing games? (Spoiler alert: Not well.) But check out this animated line chart to see how it’s going (and which game it is gaining ground on):

See you next week! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

You Can’t Leave After 1 Week!

When I checked my mail yesterday, I found my weekly evaluation from the HRA (Happy Room Academy). My latest score was 280,900 points: A new record! Putting Dotty’s pic in my space room last week really helped out, even though that wasn’t my intention at all. 😆

Jeff, your room gets 280,900 points! Stylish! Elegant! SASSY! No matter where you look, this is a PERFECT room!!! -Happy Room Academy

Drift was still sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. Today, I was on my way to buy him some medicine again, but I arrived at Nookington’s right as Tom Nook was closing up. Oops.

Tom Nook: So, I need you to leave...

That threw me off my routine, and I forgot to check for the UFO at 11:02. And I was unprepared when I heard it flying overhead. However, because I was on the side of town where it entered, I had enough time to grab my slingshot, race across town east to west, and shoot it down! Success!

Gulliver and his crash-landed UFO.

It was my 34th UFO shot down in this game, so my Wild World total has now surpassed my City Folk total. I gathered up the UFO parts (even though the last one took me a while to find), and Gulliver rewarded me with another Moai statue. That’s the same reward I got last time. 🗿

I was surprised when I entered Tank’s house and saw that he was already trying to move out! He’s only been here seven days! That’s way too soon for him to leave, so I talked him out of moving. I haven’t even seen the inside of his house (unpacked) yet!

Tank: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, kerPOW!

If you haven’t seen my latest video episode, here it is. Episode 63:

Dotty’s Pic

Yesterday, I received a letter from Wishy the shooting star. He sent me a modern cabinet for wishing on him last week.

Drift was talking about baseball, which was his childhood favorite. He said he misses it, but he also cursed “time” for taking away his youth. 🙁

Drift: CURSE YOU, TIME! Give me back my youth!

Mitzi’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Tank the rhino. He’s alright, but he’s certainly no Mitzi.

Tank: Hey, how's your evening? Oh, hey, and nice to meet you, kerPOW!
Welcome to Forest.

Today is March 1st, so I received my monthly interest payment on my savings account. I earned 53,000 bells of interest this time.

Drift came down with a cold today, so I bought some medicine for him. I’m sure he’ll be needing more of it next week too. Get well soon, Drift.

Eloise was talking about Tom Nook being at the shop all the time, and she wondered if he was married? Wait, why are you asking??

Eloise: He's at the shop all the time. Do you suppose that he's married?

Peanut wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a horse mackerel first. Those are pretty easy to find, so I accepted the challenge (and promptly won). Peanut rewarded me with a weight bench. It’s funny how a cute little squirrel just happened to have a full weight bench in her pocket. 😛

Dotty randomly pinged me, and she gave me her picture! Wow, I wasn’t expecting this! Thanks, Dotty! 🙂

Dotty: So please take this! It's my picture! Isn't it so cute, hulaaaa?!

I took it home to take a look at it. My house doesn’t have much free space, so I had to put it in the space room for now. 😆

Her favorite quote on the back is “Hop to it, wee one!”

I’m aiming to have a new video episode up over the weekend, so keep an eye out for that. See you next time!
