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.

Samson pinged me today, and he complimented me on my “sweet hiding spot.” He then asked me to play hide-and-seek. I agreed, and he gave me ten minutes to find him, Static, and Tabby.

Within a minute and a half, I found Samson and Static, both hiding behind trees. I took my time finding Tabby. Believe me, I was in no rush to see that face of hers. I circled around town before I spotted her…hiding behind my house!

I won the game, and Samson rewarded me with a tall droploid.

With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, I changed into my club shirt. I was going to dye my hair green too, so I could transform into Mohawk McClover again, but I accidentally picked the wrong hair color. But at least I changed the path patterns around town. Instead of just green bricks, I switched to the St. Patty clover design that T. Zelda (TZ) made.

I spotted a balloon present, and shot it down. It contained a “? block.”

When I ran into Tabby again (in the rain this time), she told me she was really bored. She was even sick of her house. Of course, I bet her house is even more sick of her! 😛

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to order an old DLC item. At only 3 bells, I believe it is the cheapest furniture item you can buy: It’s the election poster!

This item was not included in New Leaf, because Tortimer isn’t the mayor in that game. I don’t even have any specific plans for the poster, but it is a novelty item that probably not many people have lying around.

By now, you’ve likely seen my “11 Things” video. So now I can talk about some things that went into the video without worrying about spoiling it too much. 😛 That includes this bit of dialogue from Brewster after I asked him to hold a gyroid that he already had in his possession. This confirms that he will only store one of each specific gyroid.

I ran into Pascal one day, and he asked me about my spleen.

He then gave me a helm before he jumped into the chilly river. Tangy later bought the helm from me for 281 bells.

On Monday, I finally found Phineas in the city. That’s the reason I didn’t post that 11 Things video sooner; Phineas hadn’t shown up in the city for weeks! And yet other times, I’ve seen him multiple days in a row. I probably should have recorded that clip sooner than I did, but I figured it would be easy once I got the UFO clip. Oh well. Better late than never.

Of course, you now know that the snow on the ground is gone. And the grass is green once again. Here’s a picture I took tonight, showing the green grass, a nearly-full moon, and the three constellations I recently made. I still need to swap out the paths, but Able Sisters was closed for the night.

Champ was sick tonight, and fortunately, I already had some medicine in my pockets. Get well soon, champ! I mean…Champ.

Just after 1 a.m., I took a bus out to the city. But halfway through the bus ride, I thought to myself: “Why?” There’s nothing to do in the city this late! Even Crazy Redd’s was closed for the night. But I do like the soft, gentle music that plays here late at night.
