Chow Time

Thursday, I (thankfully) remembered to RUU_5468-smlook for Gulliver down on the beach. Once I woke him up from his nap, he asked me to look for his spaceship part. I already had it in my pockets, so I handed it over. In return, he gave me a mermaid statue.

I found a new house in town, and it belonged to Chow the panda. I knew he looked familiar; it turns out I had him in my GameCube town in 2013.

Chow invited me over to see the inside of his house, so we scheduled a meeting time. When Chow time finally arrived, I went on inside. He warned me not to look under his bed; apparently he’s breeding horrible monsters!

RUU_5471-smMaybe he just plays Pokemon.

When I (eventually) tried to leave, he didn’t seem happy about it. He threatened warned me to come back soon. Yeah, good luck with that.

RUU_5472-smBehind Chow’s house (and near the waterfall), I spotted Broccolo. He asked how his clothes made him look. But I didn’t exactly have a clear look at his clothes, so I told him he looks just dandy.

You look just dandy.

UFO #28

Today, Jay told me he keeps forgetting to put shoes on. Maybe that big red arrow on his shirt could be a reminder to look down? I don’t know, just a thought.

Jay: I'm always forgetting to put on shoes...Of course it’s December now, so you may find some holiday items showing up in Nook’s store. I bought myself this festive tree for my house.

Tom Nook: Yes, a festive tree. It costs 1,040 bells.Up on the cliff, I found Twiggy looking straight ahead…and Static right behind her, also staring straight ahead. I think Static was considering pushing her off! I guess it’s not murder if you do it to a bird. “That was a freebie.”

Static about to push Twiggy off a cliff?Broccolo was over by town hall, and he asked for a new greeting. He should know better than to ask me for a greeting.

Broccolo: Have a mice day!All indications were that today was a Gulliver day! So I whipped out my slingshot, grabbed my watch, and took my position when the time came. There were no signs of the UFO at 7:02 or 7:07 tonight, but at 8:02, I had a close encounter! Even though you can’t tell it from the picture (I shot it a bit early), I did actually strike the UFO with the shot from my slingshot.

Shooting a UFO!This was my 2nd UFO of 2015, and my 28th overall. I then tracked down the spaceship part. Hopefully I’ll remember to exchange it for a gift tomorrow.

Finding the spaceship part on the ground.

First Snowfall

As I started up the game tonight, I spotted the first snow flurries of the season!

It's snowing!I found Fang’s goodbye letter in my mailbox. So long, my wolfy friend. Forest won’t be the same without hearing you howl at the moon.

Fang's goodbye letter.Friga told me that I looked better walking through the snow than she did. But you’re a penguin!

Friga: I can't say that I look NEARLY as good tromping in the snow as you, toasty!Mott told me when he’s lying in bed, he can hear cartoon sound effects coming from his body! He wondered if he swallowed a TV, but I wondered if he swallowed Tom and Jerry!

Mott: And when I'm laying in bed, I hear weird cartoon sound effects coming from my body.A bit later, Friga asked me for a new catchphrase. I was going to tell her to say “in an igloo,” but there wasn’t enough space available. So I changed it to “in igloos.”

Friga: Now I'll get even MORE attention, in igloos!
