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.

Carpet Givers

There was a meteor shower in the skies over Forest tonight, so I stopped to watch it for a little bit. I managed to get this picture of two shooting stars on-screen at once.

Two shooting stars over town hall.Saharah was in town, looking for old carpets. So I began asking my villagers, and I was having an unusually successful night! Chow, Aurora, Benedict, Tutu, and Alli all had old flooring for me!

Alli: What great timing! I was about to go toss this one out! If you want it, I'll happily give it to you!And that’s without even asking Mac, since he was locked out of his house and I didn’t go fishing for his key.

I checked my storage and found an old carpet there as well. So I had six of them to give to Saharah (three at a time, of course) to get two rare carpets. She gave me a chessboard rug and a boxing ring mat.

Saharah: Here...a boxing ring mat. Very exotic... Treasure it. It is a very rare thing.Unfortunately, neither of those were carpets that I needed for my catalog. But it’s no big deal; collecting them all isn’t really a priority for me.

Tutu asked me to catch her a crucian carp, so I decided to do a little fishing. The 4th fish that I caught was a crucian carp, and I took it back to her.

Tutu: a crucian carp!Tutu, your “a” should really be capitalized there. Also, THERE IS A MOTH ON YOUR FACE!

She rewarded me by giving me a massage…chair. A massage chair from a polar bear. See you next time!
