Saharah was in town yesterday, so I grabbed the turban I had waiting for her. When I handed it over, she gave me a red vase in return. That’s exactly what I was hoping for!

I spoke with her again to help her out; I delivered some carpet to Pelly and some wallpaper to Mabel. She then gave me some ringside seating as my reward.

At town hall, Pelly had some dialogue about Phyllis and her gum-chewing. Yes, Wild World actually has an extended storyline about gum. Such drama.

Phyllis swallows her gum, and Pelly is worried that Phyllis is going to be stopped up for seven years.

As for the red vase, I didn’t have to wait long to pass it on. Crazy Redd was in town today (Tuesday), and I gave him the vase. In return, he gave me his safe!

The safe is black, and it lets you access your storage.

Even though I wouldn’t mind keeping such a safe, this one still has another purpose: It’s meant to be given to Tom Nook. The shop was still open, so I headed over to Nookington’s right away. I gave it to Nook, and in return, he gave me his glamour shot.

Fortunately, the item is just called Tom Nook’s pic. I took it back to my house and put it on my snowman table…although I had to move Samson’s pic to storage because my room was too full. Nook’s favorite quote is “I’ll be there with bells on. Ho ho!” Apparently he thinks he’s Santa Claus.

Now that I have Tom Nook’s pic, the golden axe, K.K.’s pic, and Pascal’s pic, I believe I am done with the trading sequence!

I do want to experiment a bit with Pascal’s options, but I already have two scallops waiting for him. So I may not continue playing 4-5 days a week like I have been for the last few months.

In other news: Olivia has been sick with a cold, or least that’s what she’s telling me. But I’m getting the impression that she might be lying for some reason. 😛

So I gave her some medicine yesterday and then again today.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

On Monday, I received confirmation in the mail that I won the fishing tournament. 🙂

A fish trophy was attached to the letter, and I put it on my mush table…which has become my trophy table. I believe my trophy collection is now complete…and it’s nothing to sneeze at.

Outside, Bob was talking about the ways to hold a net. He said that Peanut holds a net in each hand…except that he called Peanut a “he,” not a “she.”

I gave Bunnie some more medicine on Monday, and she was all better by Tuesday. She thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a cabin rug.

Peanut asked me if I’ve seen a flea lately, and I said no. So she figured that maybe they’re out of season, and she blamed Bob for fooling her. And she called him a jerkface. 😛

Yesterday, Phyllis was snapping and cracking her gum in town hall…and she didn’t care who was upset by it. 😛 She said she’s been stressed out lately, because of some “stupid boy.”

Olivia asked me for a new catchphrase today, so I told her to say “it’s a lie.” Now it will sound like everything she says is a lie. 😛 This has some potential to make some good screenshots in the future.

Kid Cat’s replacement moved in today: It’s Roscoe the cranky black horse. I’m not sure how I feel about him yet; I don’t have much experience with him, but we’ll see how it goes.

That’s enough horsing around for this week. I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

On Friday, Tom Nook was talking about his friendship with Sable. She helped him to stop feeling bad about his unpleasant time in the city years ago.

Moments later, Samson surprised me by giving me his picture!

I displayed the photo in my house, and Samson’s quote is “This isn’t a dress I’m wearing! It’s a muscle tee!” I can’t imagine a muscle tee being mistaken for a dress though, so I’m a bit confused by that quote.

I spoke with Kid Cat outside, and he told me to come talk to him if I ever have any problems. After all, he said, “we’re photo-pals.”

But I received some bad news from Kid Cat this morning: He moved out of town! Without warning. How am I supposed to go to him with my problems if he’s not around? I’m sorry to see him go. 🙁

I also received my latest house score (206,151), and I bought another red turnip from Joan.

Later on, the fishing tournament was underway. With Tortimer in town, I was able to give him a massage chair for a scallop…and then I did it again. It’s good to know you’re not limited to one exchange per day. And if you order multiple massage chairs, you could easily stock up on scallops for Pascal.

Olivia told me she was was definitely going to win the tourney, so she told me to “back the HECK up.”

In contrast to Olivia’s bravado, Goldie’s talk of her fishing strategy was almost comical. She said she sticks her face in the river to become one with the fish. 😛

Bunnie has been sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine Friday, and then again today.

After making my rounds, I started fishing. My first several attempts didn’t go very well, but then I caught a 43.3-inch sea bass that took the lead. Tortimer gave me a tulip table as my prize.

But I didn’t stop there. I continued fishing, and I eventually topped my high score with a 45.8-incher, and then a 46.2-incher. Tortimer rewarded me with a fan and a trash bin.

At 6:00, the tournament ended. There is no immediate confirmation of the winner, but I was still in the lead as of 5:59, so I’m pretty sure I have it wrapped up. Even though I’ve participated in a couple of fishing tourneys before, this will be my first win.
