Jeff's Animal Crossing Blog

Today, I found some airmail from Bangle the tiger. She has moved out of town, unfortunately.

I just happened to be playing around 5:00 p.m., so Pete dropped in right after I finished reading my mail. He said that I can’t just give mail directly to him, I have to take it to the post office.

And he even told me what Phyllis makes him do in the middle of the night!

At the lake, I ran into Baabara. She said that every time it rains, the weather gets warmer. I don’t think that’s true at all; I think she’s just trying to pull the wool over my eyes. 😛

Actually, there seems to be a series of lies dialogue about the cherry blossoms that start appearing in early April.

Several of my villagers were talking about the upcoming cherry blossoms. Puck wanted to have a picnic beneath them, and that sounds like such a cute idea.

I ran into Bangle’s replacement, Lulu the hippo. She previously lived in Forest back in 2011, and she also currently lives in my other town, Ohio. I’m not a big fan of her, but this Lulu actually did seem pretty nice so far. She gave me a free cherry!

Over at the wishing well, Belle was heartbroken to learn that I caught a coelacanth before she did.

At the police station, I tried on a few shirts that were in the lost and found. I ultimately decided to keep the light line shirt on, even though it wasn’t anything special. I was just tired of wearing the stars, I guess. 😛

Kody asked me if I’d like to manage his new swimming team. I usually answer “yes” to these, but I wanted to see how he’d respond if I declined.

There’s a slight mistake there, with two spaces in between “isn’t” and “very.” 😛

I later ran into Baabara again, and she said she’s going to stay up late tonight.

I can’t argue with her logic this time!

My latest video shows eight things I’d like to see in the next Animal Crossing game. And one event from the GameCube game made my list. Please check out the video if you haven’t seen it yet:

I’ll be back with more in April! Hope to see you then!

On Thursday (Feb. 20th), I received a goodbye letter from Buzz in the mail. This breaks a three-month streak of the most recent villager moving out after just a month (or less).

Buzz moved in back in early September, so he lived here for five and a half months.

I also found some valentines in the mail from Baabara, Maple, Belle, and Sydney.

Kind words, scary stationery, and she even included a garbage can with the valentine. Talk about mixed messages.

Puck was talking about igloos, and he gave me some helpful advice about them: Don’t try to eat them. Thanks for that ProTip, man!

I met Buzz’s replacement, Boris the cranky pig. After insulting my fashion sense, he gave me a star shirt.

I found Gulliver down on the beach, and he told me his tale of fighting off pirates. Or sharks. Or driftwood. Whatever it was, he was lucky to survive! 😉

He gave me a matryoshka, just like the one he gave me in December. And yet, he assured me I won’t find another like it. 😛

I was surprised to see Tortimer hanging out near the wishing well, and I was trying to figure out if it was a holiday I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t, but it was time for his annual vacation.

He asked me to turn the lighthouse on each night for a week, but I’m not going to do it this year. Sorry, Tortimer.

I asked Tom for a job, and he asked me to get his camera back from Bangle. I agreed to help out, but I ultimately had to get the camera from Boris…despite him just having moved in. But Tom thanked me for getting it back, and he said he was wrong for thinking I was such a big dweeb. Wow, thanks. (He also gave me a pineapple bed.)

I played again today, and I saw a notice about a treasure hunt on the bulletin board. A jukebox is buried somewhere in Acre F-3.

Baabara asked me what I thought about how she dresses, and I said “It’s OK, I guess.” She got furious at me for that, saying I should look in the mirror…where I’ll see “an idiot…wearing moldy trash!” 😮

That was very uncalled for. She specifically asked for my opinion, and there’s also the fact that she doesn’t actually wear clothes. She wears a scarf, and that’s it. So I got out a pitfall and re-introduced her to the ground. But don’t worry, because her “clothes” didn’t get dirty!

I found Static inside an igloo today. Unlike Genji, who recently boasted about building his igloo himself, Static said that he got someone else to build his igloo. (Maybe that was Genji.)

When I spoke with Emerald, my speech options were “other things” or “I’d like to sell.” I chose the latter, because I wouldn’t mind selling something in my pockets. But she took that to mean that I thought she was Tom Nook. She “corrected” me, informing me that she’s a girl and Tom Nook is a guy. 🙄

She told me to never say anything like that to her again! Wow. All I did was say I wanted to sell something.

Before saving my game for the afternoon, I went down and picked up that treasure hunt item. The jukebox was buried right next to the lighthouse. It was so easy to find that there might as well have been a spotlight right on it. 😛

Later on, I started up the game again and returned to the lighthouse to turn it on for the night.

However, this is the only night I plan on doing this, so Tortimer will be mad at me when he returns next month. Oh well. 😛

I uploaded my latest video this weekend, GameCube Moments #23:

See you next time!

Today, I received a goodbye letter from Marcy in the mail. She has already bounced out of town.

Just south of my home acre, I found an igloo near my central ramp.

Genji was inside, and he told me that he just built the igloo to surprise me. But it was a lot of hard work “for one beast,” and he was really tired.

That peaceful igloo music makes me want to take a nap, too!

Over at Nookington’s, there wasn’t any buying or selling going on today. That’s because it’s the last day of the month: Raffle Day. I didn’t have any raffle tickets, but I did take a quick look at the prizes.

Maple has a new next-door neighbor, Bangle the tiger! Tigers seem to have particularly huge heads in this game. 😆 She seems nice, but she was not aware that igloos have already started appearing in town.

When I ran into Belle, she was up to her usual tricks. She wanted me to buy a mod wall for 5,150 bells. If I’m not mistaken, that’s nearly five times what Tom Nook sells it for! So naturally, I declined the offer. She wasn’t particularly rude about my refusal this time, but she did say that was the lowest she could go. Yeah, good luck ever selling it for that much.

I found Gulliver washed up on the beach, and I woke him up. He used his infamous line that mentions the year, and I never get tired of this bit. 😆

He gave me a Lady Liberty (a model of the Statue of Liberty) for “saving his life.” 🗽

Over at the wishing well, I asked Sydney for a favor. She said she wanted a pet fish, but she insisted that she was awful at fishing.

So I went down to the ocean and caught a red snapper. And then I went to catch another fish, because I’m certainly not giving her a 3,000-bell snapper. 😆 But I did catch a nice sea bass for her! 😉 She liked it, and she rewarded me with a lovely chair.

Her catchphrase is one she learned from Kody, “okey-dokey.” But just moments later, Kody asked me for a new phrase to replace his “okey-dokey.” Maybe he didn’t like the fact that Sydney was using it too. 😛 So I gave him a phrase that I once gave to Tammy in New Leaf: game cub.

I made a stop at the post office to mail away the fossils I dug up, and then I returned home for the day. I’ll see you all next month! Never Stop Crossing!
