Conflicting Rumors

After Savannah finished unpacking, I made to check out her new home. I like the dual cabana armchairs with the music player in the middle. She and a friend can sit there are listen to music–the White Stripes maybe?

Savannah: Oh, Jeff! Welcome to my humble household! Make yourself at home.Last Friday, Tom Nook trashed his store. So to speak. Two of his three furniture items were garbage cans!

Two garbage cans for sale at Nook 'n' Go.
I refuse to buy this trash.

I saw a large fish shadow in the bay today, so I stopped to catch it. Sadly, it was just a sea bass, but I like how this picture came out with the windmill in the foreground.

Fishing in the bay.Ben and Tutu were both talking about Mac and Savannah today, but their rumors were nearly opposites of each other! Get your stories straight, you gossipy animals!

Tutu: So, like, Mac and Savannah seem like they get along pretty well, right?

Benedict: What's the deal with Mac and Savannah anyway? They're always so cold with each other.Chow asked me for a butterfly fish, so I did a few minutes of fishing to see if I could catch one. And indeed, I did track one down. When I took it back to Chow, he rewarded me with 720 bells.

Chow: Fine work, old dog. Fine indeed. Take 720 bells for the effort, up a tree!

ZOMG Zebra!

Last weekend, I got Stinky’s goodbye letter in the mail. I’ll miss the stinky cat–but not his litterbox. Believe me, his name is well-earned. Even “multiple strength for multiple cats” litter wasn’t strong enough for what he would unleash each day.

Stinky's goodbye letter.I also received a letter from Mom on Sunday. It was Mother’s Day, and she sent me a big of pink carnation seeds. Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! 🙂

Dear Jeff, Today (and today only), your dad is doing the laundry and cleaning. It's my day. -MomI was very surprised when I looked at my town map and saw a house belonging to Savannah the zebra! I’ve wanted her for years! I used to joke about wanting to steal Megan’s Savannah, and now I don’t have to! (Not that I could anyway). But I’m really happy to finally get Savannah in my town after all these years!

Savannah: I just moved here. My name is Savannah.She instantly becomes my favorite villager in town, although Static is a close second.

Over by the town hall and Nook ‘n’ Go, I heard Tutu and Twiggy pinging and whistling as they had a conversation with each other. I arrived too late to listen in on what they were saying, but I still talked to them both individually. Tutu told me that she couldn’t sleep…because she has insanity. Her words. I didn’t argue.

Tutu: Hey, in a flash. I can't sleep. I think I have what's-it-called. Insanity.When I visited Alli, she told me that she has lots of memories tied to her furniture.

Alli: I have too many memories tied to this furniture. I need to sell it off and reboot my mood.Yeah, nothing says nostalgia like a barrel of hazardous materials.

Stinky Hits the Road

Last night, I was quite surprised to see a UFO fly by! It’s quite rare for me to see one when I wasn’t specifically hunting for it. It didn’t even cross my mind that it might be a UFO day! Fortunately, I had my slingshot in my pockets (not attached to a letter), so I was able to get it out in time to shoot it down. Bang!

Shooting down Gulliver's UFO.This was my 2nd UFO of the year, and my 30th overall. I soon found the spaceship part just south of Guest’s house.

The spaceship part on the ground.I got another surprise when I went into Stinky’s house. My stinky cat friend was all packed up and ready to move out of town! It’s disappointing to see him leave so soon, but that’s how things go in Animal Crossing.

Stinky: Be sure to tell everyone how burly I looked when I hit the road, in undies!When I started up the game today, Stinky was still in boxes. So I won’t get his goodbye letter until next time.

As expected, I found Gulliver and his UFO crashed down on the beach.

Gulliver and his UFO crashed out on the beach.

I had to speak to him about 20 times to get him to wake up, though! After I gave him his spaceship part, he gave me a matryoshka.

Alli was sick with a cold today, so I bought some medicine for her. She rewarded me by sneezing on me!

Alli: Ah... Ah... AH-CHOO!
Can’t you cover your mouth? I’d rather not be covered in gator goo.
