Month: March 2018

I received Champ’s goodbye letter in the mail today. He even had the snes sense to write it on SMB3 paper.

Kitty asked me to make a delivery to Samson, and I agreed to help. But really, why would a cat want to send a gift to a mouse? Still, I gave Samson the package, and it contained a dice shirt. Samson hated it.

I returned to Kitty and told her the news. She was a bit angry that Samson didn’t like the gift. But she gave me a gold screen wall for my trouble.

I rode the bus out to the city and got my hair done; it’s back to being brown now. And at Able Sisters, I bought a green tie-dye shirt. My Mohawk McClover outfit has gone back into storage until next year.

When I bumped into Tangy, she asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek. So I had ten minutes to find her, Opal, and Midge. It took me over four minutes to find someone: I first found Opal hiding behind the empty house by the river.

Nearly two minutes later, I found Midge hiding behind Kitty’s house. And with about three minutes to go on the timer, I found Tangy hiding behind a sign post. This is where Champ lived.

For winning the game, I received a mega howloid from Tangy.

Today, Opal was walking around outside, holding a net. But she confessed that she has another reason for catching bugs: She can linger near her neighbors to listen for good gossip! She said her goal for the day was to catch two bugs and to hear five compliments.

When I went into Champ’s house, I was quite disappointed to see that he had all his furniture packed up in boxes. He’s moving out of town. This is what happens when you don’t play regularly–one of your favorite villagers may move away without you having a chance to stop them. It’s a shame he didn’t stick around longer. I’ll miss the guy.

Kitty asked me to make a delivery to Tabby, and I agreed to help out for some reason. The gift was a polar fleece, and Tabby just thought it was adequate. When I returned to Kitty and told her the news, she rewarded me with a cactus.

Tangy asked me for a yellow perch, so I went fishing for a while. On my way to Nookington’s to sell a bunch of other fish, Tabby noticed a carp in my pockets.

She wanted to buy it from me for 478 bells, and I agreed to the deal.

I continued fishing, but I never found a yellow perch for Tangy. However, I did fish a key out of the river!

The key belonged to Samson, who had locked himself out of his house. When I returned it to him, he rewarded me with a blue bookcase. Funny that he can carry around a blue bookcase in his pockets, but forgets to bring along his house key.

I got a letter in the mail from Mom today, and she sent me a cherry. So this is just a reminder that even though online play isn’t officially supported by Nintendo any more, you can still get the foreign fruits. And since today is Pi Day (3/14), maybe I can make some cherry pi. π 😉

I also got my election poster in the mail from Tom Nook. I put it in my house, although I still don’t know what I’m going to do with it. 😛

When I ran into Midge, she dropped a truth bomb on me. She’s a bird! 😛

Well okay, maybe that was a smidge obvious. But I really liked all the green and gold in that picture, with the four-leaf clover pattern path going up the ramp right behind her.

Tabby told me she likes to go to town hall at night to avoid the crowds. (What crowds?) That, and she also thinks Phyllis is awesome. Somehow I’m not surprised that Tabby thinks Phyllis is awesome.

Kapp’n gave me a bus ride out to the city, and I got my hair done at Shampoodle. I have now completed my transformation into Mohawk McClover, for the 10th year in a row! I started it back on St. Patrick’s Day in 2009, and you can see it way back in Wi-Fi Moments #8.

Back in town, Static asked me for a new greeting. I was going to have him say “Aww, nuts!” but the game wouldn’t allow the word nuts. I was thinking about using a special character so that I could say nüts or something, but then I just decided to have him say °. That’s the degree sign, although it looks like a tiny little “o.”

Pronouncing it correctly does have a degree of difficulty, and I’m not sure that a squirrel can do it. O well.
