Jingly Days

Hi everyone. I just have a super short entry tonight. Toy Day (Christmas Eve) is over, and Kitty had an unusual way of mentioning that fact: She said the “jingly days” have come and gone. 😛

Kitty: After the jingly days have come and gone, everyone goes into year-end mode!

Kitty was looking forward to the New Year’s Eve countdown, and she invited me to come. I won’t be participating in Forest (but maybe in Mushroom).

Al the gorilla informed me that he’s moving out of town, and I didn’t try to stop him. Even though I don’t dislike him, I don’t particularly like him either; he’s just so-so. Besides, I still have him in Mushroom.

Al: Hey, Bro J, I know this is kinda sudden, but I have to move out of Forest.

Speaking of Al, he’s the topic of my latest Mario Plays ACCF series. Mario has a flashback to working on a construction site, and he wonders if Al could be Donkey Kong! There’s even a court scene; what does the judge decide? Find out in the first minute of this video. (Mario also participates in Toy Day and turns into Mega Mario to get revenge on someone, later on).

That’s all I have for tonight, but stay tuned for more Mario Plays ACCF coming soon! Happy new year, everyone!

Saving Dizzy

I played on Tuesday, and I got a letter in the mail from the snowman I built last time. He sent me a snowman bed, which I sold for 8,888 bells.

Snowmaster Jeff, To thank you for, you know, making me, have a snowman bed! It'll keep you cool while you sleep. Nice, right? I know! -From the Snowman

Dizzy told me that he planned to move away, but after several attempts, I was able to get him to change his mind.

Dizzy: Since it means so much to you, I'll see if I can get out of this whole moving thing, woo-oo!

Tonight, Scoot told me that he saw a program about a fancy restaurant where they were serving flowers! Salad is one thing, but eating flowers? No thanks.

Scoot: I saw this show, right, about some super swank restaurant, and... They were eatin' flowers!
I refuse to put my two lips on tulips.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Technopop for me. At first, I didn’t think he was even playing anything. I had to turn the volume up and then I heard K.K. quietly whistling. There isn’t much actual music in this song, at least when performed live. It’s one of the worst live songs in the game, in my opinion.

I found a snowball on the western edge of town, and I started rolling it. Just a few feet away, I spotted the other snowball. When they’re close like that, even my lazy butt doesn’t mind rolling them together to make a snowman. 😛

Snowman: Sniff... Snuffle... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be so emotional, but this is a big moment for me.

That’s all for now, but I’ll be posting a new ACCF video–City Folk Moments #5–on Christmas day. Have a great Christmas and happy holidays, everyone!

Ivory Idol

Winter has arrived in Forest, with snow now covering the grass and trees. Some cedar trees also have Christmas lights. They’re pretty, but I wish there were lights on all of the cedar trees. Well, and all non-fruit trees, while I’m at it. 😉

To get myself into the winter spirit, I rolled up my first snowman of the season. Because one snowball was halfway across town, it ended up being a pretty big snowman. But I put him together well, at least.

Snowman: I am an ivory idol! A frozen confection! And I owe it all to your skills! You have my eternal gratitude, sir!
On the next Ivory Idol, Mr. Snowman sings for the first time! Will he melt under the pressure?

Dizzy told me that he’s really into flowers lately. He especially likes strawberry flowers, tomato flowers, and watermelon flowers.

Dizzy: I'm ESPECIALLY into strawberry flowers, and tomato flowers, and watermelon flowers...

But then he said his favorites were actually cookie flowers, pizza flowers, and cupcake flowers. I think he’s just making stuff up. 😛

In Maple’s house, I saw that she didn’t have much furniture. And what little she did have, was all on the right side of her house. You need balance, honey.

Near the museum, I spotted a balloon present and shot it down! There was a sprinkler inside. It’s a bit too cold to be using this anytime soon!
