Froggy Fun

Last night, I made a visit to Arrested. Beth (playing as Michael) didn’t seem to enjoy the frog shirt I was wearing. I think she must associate all frogs with Jambette now.

Michael: FROG OFF!Jeff: Why are you so hopping mad?I did some glitching so that the frog could be home in the pond. I also started throwing beans at Beth/Michael.

Jeff: I spilled the beans.When I returned to Forest, Bob told me it was a dark and stormy night. Twice.

Bob: It was a dark and stormy night... And it's still a dark and stormy night.Molly said that she wanted to move out on the 4th of this month!

Molly: Well, that really resonated with me. So I've decided to move on the 4th of this month.
It’s a little late for that, ducky.

Of course she meant the 4th of next month (July). I guess she wants to declare independence from Forest? Too bad. Her request was quickly denied.

Tonight, Big Top asked me to catch a butterfly for him. None were out, so I grabbed a tiger butterfly from my dock box. (I try to keep a few butterflies in there for exactly this reason). Big Top enjoyed it, and in return, he gave me a frog-woman pole! I should give this to Beth! 😛

Big Top: It's a frog-woman pole!I found a lost item down on the beach, and I eventually returned it to its owner, Aurora. For returning her mitten, she gave me her picture. I’ve already received several of these from her before, but it’s the thought that counts.

Aurora: Wow, this is embarrassing! I guess I must have dropped it somewhere!

My recent dream visitors have been Mayounna from Amy Rose and Alessa from Wieda. Thanks for stopping by!

Can’t Let Ham Go

Yesterday, Bob found me by the tulip topiary and asked for the common butterfly in my pockets. He only offered 90 bells for it, but sure, why not? It’s not like I catch these things for the money anyway.

Bob: Would you ever consider selling your common butterfly to me?Saharah was in town today, and I hired her to put in some new wallpaper and carpeting. For reasons unknown, she thought this green wall and boxing-ring mat would be a good combination. Yuck!

A green wall and boxing-ring mat.Hamlet told me that he already wants to move out of town, on July 2nd! I don’t plan on letting anyone leave for a while, so I made him stay put. If he really wants to run away, I’ll just put him on a hamster wheel and let him think he’s actually going somewhere. 😉

Hamlet: OK, I give up! I can't move now. I'll see you around, bucko!

I made a dream visit to the town of Tranquil this afternoon. It has some horror-themed areas, but it also has some lighter movie and fairy-tale themed rooms as well. I wrote up a full Dream Suite Adventure of the town, so please check that out. But I’ll include a couple of bonus pictures of Tranquil here:

My recent dream visitors have been Andrew from Lyminith and Ray from Forest. Thanks for stopping by!

Custom Design Sign

Last night, I went to visit Bob. I was surprised to find Big Top was there as well.

Bob: Glad you came to visit, jeff! Big Top is here too, so my place is party central! Pthhpth!Big Top just wanted to use Bob’s sofa to take a nap on. It’s hard to imagine an elephant sitting on a cat’s sofa without breaking it.

Big Top: I'm super jealous of Bob. He's got a giant sofa I bet is perfect for naps!When I put some money into my bank account, my balance topped 73 million bells.

Your current balance is 73,040,000 bells.After a quick stop at Beth’s towns of Otaku and Arrested, I returned home and decided to put in a new PWP (public works project). But it’s not the geyser you might have been expecting; I still haven’t picked out a spot for that just yet. Instead, I decided to put in a custom-design sign. It only costs 40,000 bells, so I paid it off on the spot.

I put it near my bulletin board, so that visitors will see it soon after getting off the train. I can put seasonal/holidays designs up depending on the time of year, use a sports team logo, or even make a sign welcoming my visitors. For now, I put the Cavs’ CLE design.

My new custom-design sign.I then went to town hall to trigger the completion ceremony. Yay!

The completion ceremony for the custom-design sign.Believe it or not, it’s been a year and a half since I put in a new PWP! The last one was my Sphinx back in November 2014.

When I was at town hall, I also took an updated picture of my town map. It’s been a while since I’ve updated the map on my town page, so here is the up-to-date map that includes the houses of Hamlet, Bob, and Julian.

Forest town map as of June 24, 2016.

Hamlet noticed I had an empty letter slot, so he asked me to bury a time capsule for him. I put it in the northwest corner of town, as I usually do.

Hamlet: Hey, bucko! Go bury my time capsule for me!
Don’t boss me around or I’ll bury YOU.

Julian asked me to make a delivery to Rolf…because he was too shy to do it himself. Julian shy? I never pictured him as the shy type.

Julian: Why? Because I'm shy! Can't you tell, Jeff?I took the item (a metal guitar) to Rolf, and he rewarded me with djimbe drum. It was a music-for-music exchange. At least he didn’t give me beans, beans, the musical fruit…

Rolf later told me he was going to move out of town on June 29th, but of course I made him change his mind.

My recent dream visitors have been Philip from Alamo and Soph from Octavia. Thanks for stopping by, and have a good weekend! I hope to have my New Leaf slideshow (for my 3rd year with the game) up by Sunday or Monday, so stay tuned for that!
