Cherry Blossom Festival 2019

As I checked my mail today, I was disappointed (but not surprised) to see that Chico has danced his way out of town. Here is a look at his goodbye letter:

I met up with Candi, and she was talking about Wendell’s upcoming visit. She said I should get some wallpaper from him if I want my room to look good. But if I wanted to live in a dump, I was doing just fine. Wow, how rude!

Genji asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “on a bun,” and I agreed it was time for a change. So I told him to say “in a can” instead.

On the cliff near Maple’s house (in the spot where Hank originally lived), I found a new villager’s house. Huck the frog just moved in. I don’t particularly like (or dislike) him, but he’s okay.

Tom offered to sell me a cherry (a foreign fruit) for just 410 bells. Even though I didn’t need it for my town (since I already have every kind of fruit), I still bought the cherry. I can sell it to the other Tom (Tom Nook) for 500 bells, so I’ll make a profit on it. 😛

Speaking of cherries, the cherry blossom festival was underway. It’s held from April 5-7 each year, so I headed over to the wishing well to check out the festivities. Puck and Static were sitting at the table on the left, and Static told me to sit down and have some food. Ha! I wish I could!

Emerald was the dancing animal this year.

Belle and Ursala were sitting at the rude other table. Ursala said that beauty never lasts, and instead fades away. She then told me that I was supposed to say “except for your beauty, Ursala!” Yeah, right. I think she needs some beauty sleep…lots of it. Go hibernate for a few years.

I had a pitfall in my pockets, so I wanted to test something out. I buried it near where Emerald was dancing. It was nothing personal (I like Emerald, after all), but I wanted to see if it was possible to pit her. For research purposes, of course. 😉

However, I was unable to push her while she was doing her dancing routine. Eventually, her routine did take her over the spot where the pitfall was, but she did not fall in.

Oh well. Even though it didn’t pay off, I still enjoy testing the limits of what the game allows. 🙂 Just like how I always try to kick the ball across the river anytime I see one. The ball has never made it to the other side, but I still give it a try each time in hopes that I’ll get lucky.

Last month, I mentioned a video I’m working on. I’ve been playing a lot in temporary towns, and I only need to find one more villager: Woolio. Once I do, I’ll be able to wrap up the project and post the video. I’m hoping it’s just a matter of days, but it’s hard to predict.

When I eventually find Woolio, I’ll be sure to share it on Twitter, so keep an eye out there for any updates. Even if you don’t have a Twitter account, you can still bookmark that page to see my latest tweets if you’d like.

Oh, one other note: I’ve also been playing a bit in my 2nd town of Ohio, and Jambette has finally moved out! That’s always good news. 🙂
