I saw Nana and Roscoe having a conversation yesterday afternoon, but it was already over by the time I got to speak with them. They were both depressed, and Nana said she needed some alone time. No problem, monkey, I understand.

Over by my southernmost bridge, I found Wisp’s empty lamp!

It was too early in the day for Wisp, so I came back later after 8 p.m. I had to make a full circle around town before I found him outside of town hall. He said he was scared of the dark! 👻

I told him I found his lamp, and he slipped inside of it. I had to go into my attic to rub the lamp and summon Wisp. He asked what I wanted for a reward, and I decided to ask for a hat. How cool would it be if he gave me a crown? But he ended up giving me an outback hat instead.

I decided to put it on for now, but I probably won’t wear it for long. But I’ll wear it for at least one g’day, mate.

Today, I found Rosoce all packed up with his belongings in boxes. He’s riding off into the sunset. Have a nice journey, Roscoe! We’ll probably meet again someday.

Chip was in town for a dab-only fishing tourney today. I caught just one fish, and it happened to be a dab.

I took it over to Chip, and he measured it for me: 23.6 inches. That was (significantly) larger than Felicity’s 19.2-inch dab, so I took over the top spot. My prize was a cabin wardrobe.

It was only about 1 p.m. though, so I wasn’t liking my odds of it holding up for the rest of the tourney.

Big Top asked me for a mole cricket, so I listened for one as I walked around town. I eventually caught one and took it back to Big Top…only for him to give me a centipede in return! That’s the last thing I would ever want!

Antonio has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today. Get well soon!

I ended my session for the afternoon, but I returned later to find a letter in the mail from Chip. To my surprise, I won the tourney! That’s really lucky when you consider I only caught one fish! Chip attached a silver trophy to the letter.

I then went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Cruisin’ for me. An oldie but goodie.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!

Today, Roscoe told me he was thinking about moving out of town.

I thought about it for a moment, and I decided to let him go. He has lived in Forest for two years, from back when I still had eight crankies in town. But he’s stuck around longer than I thought he would, so I have no problem letting him go at this point. He’s not leaving immediately though, so I should still see him again next week anyway.

Mint asked me for a mole cricket, so I kept an eye out for one. Well actually, I kept an ear open, since their unmistakable sound is their giveaway. I heard one over near Able Sisters, so I dug a few holes until I found the little guy.

When I (eventually) found Mint again, I gave her the cricket and she rewarded me with 528 bells. Interestingly, I just now realized that “Mint” and “Cricket” are both names of mobile service companies here in the U.S. 😛

Antonio asked me to deliver a package to Felicity, in a hole.

Felicity wasn’t in a hole, but I gave her the gift anyway. It was a dirt-clod wall, and she seemed way too excited for someone who just got some dirty wallpaper. But yeah, she was really digging it.

Now if she did live in a hole, maybe a dirty wall would make sense! 😛 When I returned to Antonio, he thanked me for making the delivery and he rewarded me with a cabin couch.

In the recycle bin at town hall, I found a refrigerator. I don’t need to keep it, but I’ll gladly sell it for some cold hard cash. 💰

Later on, I went to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed K.K. Fusion for me.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I hope to see you next time. 🙂

Last night was New Year’s Eve, and I started up the game about 15 minutes before midnight. Mayor Tortimer was standing outside of town hall, and he stated the obvious.

I stayed for the countdown to 2025… Happy New Year! 🎉

The fireworks began, and I made my rounds. I found a new house in the southwest part of town, and Felicity was inside!

Since it was after midnight, it was technically 2025 when I met her. For a moment, I was trying to think if she should count as a December or a January arrival. Even after midnight, Animal Crossing games still count a day to be the previous day until the new day officially starts at 6 a.m. But then I realized that it was a moot point, because clearly her house was there when I loaded up the game on December 31st regardless, even if I didn’t see it until after midnight. 😛 So she is a December 2024 arrival, but just barely.

She has lived here before, but it’s been a while; it was back in 2013. I don’t think I was a big fan of hers back then…will this time be different? I’m not so sure, but we’ll see.

I played again this afternoon, and I received several letters in the mail wishing me a happy new year. They were from Ruby, Antonio, Roscoe, Nana, Mint, Mom, and Big Top.

Mom also attached 1,000 bells to her letter.

But the main reason I played today is to get the limited-edition New Year’s shirt for 2025! Tortimer handed it to me outside of town hall.

It has a snake on it, because 2025 is the Year of the Snake in the Chinese zodiac. Here’s a look at the front and back:

Don’t forget to pick yours up, if you’re interested! I used my Scott character to pick up an extra one too, just in case I accidentally sell this one or something. 😛

Felicity was out and about today, and she is planning on being even more energetic and hyperactive in the new year. Uh-oh, I have a feeling she’s going to annoy me. 😛

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2025 is a good year for us all! Maybe a new game this year? We can only hope!
