Month: January 2024

On Wednesday, I saw my robo buddy Cube in the city. He was talking about a girl from Forest who got an interesting haircut. I’m pretty sure he was talking about River, because she did make a bunch of trips to Shampoodle when I made my hair guide.

Today, Gabi was talking about Tom and Nana, and how they get along so well. Gabi wondered if they were “lovey-dovey.” 😆

I was getting a bit tired of wearing my New Year’s shirt, so I bought a seven-ball shirt at Able Sisters. I also bought a bunny hood; I thought I could troll Gabi with it. 😛

But she didn’t react to my new accessory. She was just happy to have somebunny to talk to. 🐰

I made sure to put my New Year’s shirt in my house, so that I didn’t accidentally sell it. (Although I think I picked up a backup shirt on one of my extra characters, just in case.)

Egbert asked me to catch a mole cricket for him, and I agreed to help out. In a rare occurrence, I only had to dig one hole to find it! But then it took me five swings of the net to catch it. 😆 One way or another, mole crickets are never easy. 😛

Egbert thanked me for the bug, and he gave me a robo-wall in return.

Later, K.K. Slider bored me with a performance of K.K. Technopop. 🤖 It’s about as exciting as watching robo wallpaper dry. 😛

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone! I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!

The fishing tourney was held today, and it was a pond smelt-only tournament. Unfortunately, the event had already ended by the time I played. But Chip informed me that Tom was the winner with a 6.3-inch pond smelt.

Grizzly told me he was thinking about leaving town, but I convinced him to stick around. I’ve realized that for the most part, I like the collection of villagers I have right now. Even if I don’t have any of my very top favorites like Bob, Lolly, or Rolf, I do have several from my next tier, including Tom, Mint, Egbert, and Antonio. And most importantly, there’s no one that I hate right now. Forest has come a long way since the eight-cranky days of late 2022/early 2023.

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Ballad for me. Good song.

When I put some money into my bank account at town hall, my balance reached a new milestone: 60 million bells!

Just 40 million to go until earn my first feather! 😆 Interestingly (to me, at least) is that it only took me 20 months to go from 50 million to 60 million. But that span did cover two lucrative summer bug seasons, and I’ve also participated in more of the holiday events recently, including Halloween and Christmas Eve. I earned a lot of bells doing those.

Have a great day, everyone! And Never Stop Crossing!

Last weekend, I received Queenie’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Up in the sky, I saw the northern lights for the first time this season (and this year). I still think City Folk has the best-looking auroras.

Tonight, Roscoe asked me to play a game of Cat Burglar and Private Eye. He clarified that he would be the burglar, and I’d be the detective.

Of course, he was talking about a game of hide-and-seek. He gave me 15 minutes to find him, Antonio, and Grizzly. Since that is typically plenty of time, I didn’t rush. I went ahead and made my rounds. I first found Antonio hiding behind Roscoe’s house, and later, I spotted Grizzly trying to fit behind a palm tree.

And with 4:56 remaining on the timer, I found Roscoe behind a tree near Mint’s house to win the game. Roscoe reluctantly gave me a tall buzzoid as my prize.

Up on the cliff, near the dead end, I found a new house. Astrid the kangaroo has returned.

She lived in Forest pretty recently (from November 2020 until March 2021). During her stay, she did grow on me a bit…mainly because she helped me get rid of Kitty. 😆 However, I must admit that I’m not exactly thrilled about having her back so soon. I feel like there should be a 5-year ban on returning villagers. I’m getting a bit tired of semi-recent villagers returning lately.

Anyway, have a good weekend, everyone! See you again soon. 🙂
