Month: April 2018

I got some bad news in City Folk today. When I went to visit Tangy, I saw that all her furniture was packed up in juice boxes. She’s moving out of town, without warning. 🙁

I just lost Champ last month, and now Tangy is leaving too. Two of my favorites. Why couldn’t it be Tabby instead? Or Kitty?

Speaking of Kitty, she said she heard people saying I don’t speak politely. But I think it was probably her that was spreading the rumor. Or it could be Tabby. I’m never polite to Tabby. 😛

I saw a balloon present floating by, so I got my slingshot out and popped the green balloon. The packaged contained a white boom box.

When I visited Benedict, I saw that his fish was laying flat on the bottom of its aquarium!

It did flap around occasionally, but still…it didn’t look it’s doing very well.

While walking near the waterfall (and looking up), I saw Drift up on top of the cliff. I tried waving to him, and to my surprise, it actually worked! I didn’t think it would work when we’re on different levels, but it did. The only bad thing was that I didn’t see him wave back, because once I clicked the button, the view changed back to normal (instead of looking up). 😛

I walked over to the cliff to get a look at him, and I shot my slingshot in front of his face. I wasn’t trying to hurt him or anything, I was just messing around. When I took a picture, two of the pellets appeared in front of his face. It looked like he got some piercings on his upper lip…or maybe you think they look more like an extra pair of eyes? 😛

Opal asked me for some “bedlike furniture” (aka a bed). I checked Nook’s shop, and luckily for Opal, he had a bed for sale today. It was a modern bed, and it cost me 1,856 bells. I took it back to Opal, and she rewarded me with 528 bells. One-third of what I paid for it. Thanks a lot, Opal.

I rode the bus out to the city, and I saw my old buddy Bob there! He was sad that Phineas wasn’t around, because he was looking forward to getting a prize. Aw, poor guy.

I recently posted a new ACCF video, City Folk Moments #3. It features the Tabby scene I mentioned last time, and a number of other things that you may remember from the blog (and a few others as well). If you haven’t seen it yet (or want to watch it again), here it is. I hope you enjoy it.

Samson asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek tonight. I had 15 minutes to find him, Opal, and Midge. It only took me 35 seconds to find Midge; she was hiding behind Tabby’s house. Less than a minute later, I found Samson hiding behind a sign post!

And not long after that, I found Opal hiding behind Nook ‘n’ Go! It only took me about two minutes to find all three of them! Samson congratulated me and slipped me his mini dinkoid.

I dug up a pitfall seed, and I decided to use it on my good fiend Tabby. 😛 But I was a little too aggressive, and she got mad at me for pushing her. When I tried to push her again…well…I was the one to fall into the pitfall. Oops. But at least I took a good picture of me flipping out.

That’s not just a frame from a video either, that’s a 100% legit, perfectly timed in-game screenshot. But I’ll admit I was lucky it turned out so good.

After that, I grabbed some dandelion puffs and blew them into Tabby’s face. They didn’t show up very well in this pic, you can tell that she’s still angry. And that’s the important thing. 😉

I made my rounds, but I noticed I didn’t see Drift anywhere. So unless I just missed him two or three times, I figured he must be in the Roost. And sure enough, he was. Mmm, coffee…

The April fishing tournament was held today, and I caught a dace for Chip. He scrutinized it closely before wolfing it down.

The dace was 11.3 inches long, but that was much smaller than the current record: Static’s 41 inch sea bass. So I returned to the ocean from whence I came in search of a sea bass for myself. A few minutes later, I caught one. When I took it over to Chip, he told me it was 44 inches long!

That put me in first place, and Chip gave me a robo-table as a prize.

I visited Opal, and she told me that Static and Tabby have been fighting lately. But Opal wasn’t concerned about helping them out…she just enjoys seeing them throw shaved ice at each other! 😛 Actually, it would be pretty cool to see someone throw ice at Tabby.

I ran into Static on the ramp, and he said he wasn’t going to let anyone else win the fishing tournament. He planned to keep fishing for as long as it takes.

I was looking through the fish and bug descriptions in the game, and I learned something new: I learned that fireflies are not turn signals. Who knew?

At Able Sisters, I changed the path pattern back to the usual green bricks. Also, I suddenly got the urge to play the numbers 7-6-0 in the Animal Crossing lottery. 😛

After 6:00, I returned to Chip to check the results of the fishing tournament. He confirmed that my 44-inch sea bass was the final winner, and he said he’ll send my prize in the mail.
