Kicks the Shoe Shop

A few days ago, I planted a mango from the island next to my house. When I started up the game today, I noticed that the mango tree is now full-grown and bearing fruit.

Rory: Hey, J dog! Go bury my time capsule for me!I buried it in the northwest corner of town, just one spot to the right of where I buried Big Top’s time capsule early on in the game. I don’t know the details of when these will be unearthed, but I hope the presence of Rory’s time capsule doesn’t mean he’s going to be stuck in Forest for a long time.

After stopping at town hall, I attended the (delayed) celebration for the second floor of the museum. And when I say delayed, it was only delayed because I didn’t stop in town hall yesterday (even though I could have).

My gamble yesterday paid off! It’s a real painting! So I went in to see it; the museum provides some details about the paintings now, such as the title, artist, year, and so on.

Solemn painting info: The painting is also known as The Maids of Honor. This is Velazquez's most famous painting.While I was in the museum, I decided to go on and “rent” an exhibit room. For now, I think I’ll just put my balloon furniture in it.

Shrunk: Wanna know why? I just bought a fortune cookie. When I cracked it open, there was NO fortune inside!In Super T&T, I decided to take a look at the catalog. This month’s DLC, the rainbow screen, is indeed available to be ordered.

Rainbow screen DLC: 4,240 bells.Even though DLC could also be ordered in City Folk, it’s good to know that it works the same way in New Leaf as well. But as I browsed through the catalog, I spotted some other good news. For one thing, items are now listed alphabetically! Even though it should be a no-brainer, previous games didn’t do it this way, and it was hard to find a certain item if you didn’t know where it was listed. I’m glad they finally got it right.

But that’s not the only improvement. There’s now a search feature! So if you search for the word “cheese,” for example, it will list any item that has the word cheese in it: Cheese floor, cheese wallpaper, etc.  Very helpful.

Once I was done in the supermarket, I headed to the far end of Main Street. The construction is gone, and Kicks is now complete!

Kicks: ...CRIKEY! It's the mayor! Here! In my shop! Welcome, sir!He sells shoes and socks in his store. I became his first customer by buying these cleats.

Wearing the new cleats I just bought from Kicks.After that, I took some medicine to Aurora, who is still sick. She flipped for it.

Molly: Jeff! Just like I promised, I've left my old town behind for the happy town of Forest.She lives a bit south of my house, but still in the northwest part of town…along with me, Aurora, and Big Top. Definitely the cool part of town. Forest is slowly improving in terms of villagers. I still would like to get rid of Yuka, Katt, and Rory, but Rome wasn’t built in a day.

That’s all for tonight, but thank you for reading my blog. Are you all getting excited for the game? Just a few more days to go!
