So Much Drama

Big Top had his belongings all packed up in boxes tonight. He was about to move out of town, just before his birthday next week! But of course, I talked him out of moving.

When I visited Joey, he asked me if I knew what paparazzi are.

Joey: Jeff, do you know what paparazzi are, bleeeeeck?He said he couldn’t understand what kind of father is a “Razzi.”

Joey: So, I don't get it. What kind of father is a "Razzi"? It's all so confusing.Outside, Rhonda told me she thought her outfit made her look pretty.

Rhonda: Hey, champ! Like my outfit? I think it makes me pretty, bigfoot!I took a step back to see what she was wearing…the bone shirt I gave her last time. Um, okay…

What lovely bones you have.

I then listened in a conversation between Kiki and Rod. Kiki asked Rod what type of cake he would be, if he could choose. Rod replied that he’d be a “beefcake,” because of the muscles all over his body.

Rod: Beefcake! Get it? 'Cause I'm totally muscled out to the max, in my ears.Kiki got mad because Rod put such an image in her mind. She thought it was completely disgusting.

Kiki: Ew! Why did you have to make me picture that!? That's disgusting!Kiki stormed off in anger, while the argument made Rod depressed.

On the bulletin board, I found a new “Talking to Myself” message posted. The author admitted to eating 17 chocolate waffles yesterday. 😛

-Talking to Myself- I'm making a daily diary of what I eat. Did I really chow 17 chocolate waffles yesterday?! URP!
Do you like waffles? Yeah, we like waffles!

Puddles was still sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine again.

Down in the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He then performed K.K. Technopop for me. It’s not the best song when performed live…particularly at the beginning. Sounds like there’s not much to it.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Technopop!After selling some things at Nookington’s, I encountered a scorpion! I had my net out, so I swung at it…but I missed. It moved in and attacked me! Unfortunately, it had better aim than I did. R.I.P. Jeff.

It took me a while to track him down, but I eventually made the delivery. Surprisingly, Kiki was standing nearby, still mad about her argument with Rod. Hopper used his catchphrase in spectacular fashion.

Hopper: Heh! Heh! Forgetting about a gift is like forgetting to breathe, if I fart!
Giving him this catchphrase was the best decision I’ve ever made. 😛

He opened the gift, which was a cake shirt. He hated it so much that he said it was going to make him hurl. 😛 And if that reaction wasn’t extreme enough, he even said he couldn’t be friends with someone with such bad taste. And yet he keeps saying “if I fart” as he criticizes someone else for bad taste. Haha, I love it. 😛

Hopper: I just can't be friends with anyone with taste that bad, if I fart.
So much drama tonight.

I had to wait for Kiki to calm down before I could tell her I made the delivery. But she eventually gave me some slate flooring as my reward.

Anyway, I found three fossils tonight, and I also caught some bugs and fish. I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and I still have some stuff to sell next time (since the shop closed before I was done).

But there were two things I didn’t catch (well, three if you count that scorpion earlier). Two sharks. I spotted them in the ocean, and both times, they took the bait before I could reel them in. I’m convinced that sharks require a faster reaction time to catch than other fish in this game. It’s kind of annoying that I keep missing out on them!

My latest Wild World video is now online! It’s Ep. 10, and it includes some of the more interesting/funny events from August through this past Tuesday. I hope you’ll check it out. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll be back on Tuesday with another entry.

Amazing Painting

Near town hall, I checked out the new message of the week. It says that joy is received, not taken.

*Message of the Week* Joy is received. Not taken. Peace!Joey must have given his sickness to Puddles, because the pink frog now has a cold. It seems like there’s almost always someone who’s sick in town.

Sick Puddles flips as she takes some cold medicine.Crazy Redd was in town, and I bought an amazing painting from him. I took it over to the museum, where Blathers informed me that it was a real piece of art! So I donated it, and it’s the first painting visible when you walk into the art gallery.

Amazing painting. Donor: Jeff.I went downstairs to the Roost, and I found Phyllis enjoying a cup of coffee. She was also enjoying the chance to be rude.

Phyllis: Look, if you've got nothing to say, just go over there, OK?! (How annoying!)I sat next to her and ordered a cup of coffee as well.

Bitter! So bitter! It's like a banshee, screaming in my taste buds!Back outside, I ran into Baabara. She asked if I was taking good care of “that item” she gave me the other day. I didn’t know what she was talking about, so I replied with “What item?” She then angrily reminded me about her picture that she gave me. Oops. Oh yeah, that.

Baabara: That was a really good picture of me! If you lost it... I'll REALLY lose it!
It’s fine, so calm your fluffy nerves.

I caught some bugs and fish, but I didn’t find any that were particularly valuable. With summer over, it’s hard to make much money now. But I did make a 15,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall.

Kiki’s Pic

I got another letter from Lyle today, sending me 100 bells for my latest bee sting. Speaking of Lyle, he was also hovering around my house again today. I just ignored him.

Near Kiki’s house, I found another four-leaf clover! Two times in a row? That’s unusual. I don’t need them though, so I ended up selling them both.

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it had a daily horoscope inside. Of course, I don’t know what day it was for, since it’s presumably been in the ocean for a long time. 😛 But it said I’ll run around like a shovel-wielding maniac wearing a hockey mask. What kind of horoscope is that? I’d be doing that regardless.

Daily Horoscope: During the lunar eclipse, you'll run around like a shovel-wielding maniac. Wear a hockey mask. -Astrocon IndustriesJoey was finally over his cold, so he thanked me for “saving his life.” He rewarded me with some steel flooring.

Joey: I should give you something for saving my life, bleeeeeck!

After Puddles greeted me with an unusual compliment, she reminded me that Yay Day is tomorrow. She wants me to shower her with compliments. But I won’t be participating this time.

Puddles: Jump in puddles!! J-rock, you're like a big stick of happy TNT!Over by town hall, Hopper asked me for a new catchphrase. Don’t judge me. But I told him to say “if I fart.” 😛 He thought it sounded a bit too cheerful.

Hopper: ..."If I fart!" Isn't that a little too cheerful for me?I continued speaking to him, trying to get him to use his new catchphrase in a variety of sentences. So he was talking about migratory locusts, and he said they wig out if he farts.

Hopper: I hear they totally wig out, if I fart!But eventually, he got tired of talking. He told me to go far, far away…if he farts. 😀

Hopper: Go away, if I fart! Somewhere far, far away!He asked me to make a delivery to Kiki for him, and I agreed to help out. When I returned, he thanked me by giving me his sword.

Hopper: Hey, why don't you take my sword, if I fart?I think I have too much fun with catchphrases sometimes. 😀

Hopper: When things are rough, we gotta stick together, if I fart!

I was playing during the daytime today, because I was looking for something specific…and I found it! At long last, I have finally caught an orchid mantis!

I caught an orchid mantis! It hunts in flowers!I donated it to the museum right away. I checked on my bug collection, and I still need eight more insects. That’s a higher number than I was expecting. But I’ll still complete the collection some day.

I ran into Kiki again, and she had a very nice surprise for me: She gave me her picture! She’s lived in town for a very long time (almost since the beginning), and she’s always been one of my favorites. So it’s nice to finally receive her picture. 🙂

Kiki: It's nothing much. Just a picture of me, le meow, but I hope you like it!
Thank you, Kiki! I do like it!

Rod bumped into me, and he gave me a bone shirt. Since Rhonda has been looking for new clothes for weeks, I decided to give her the bone. Now she’s all ready for Halloween!
