Proof That Del Isn’t a Gator, But a Croc!

For a while now, the squarish holes on Del’s head have made me curious. Real alligators don’t have those, so what did they mean? I thought there must be a reason for them, but I couldn’t figure out what that reason was. Until today. Those holes don’t make him look like a real alligator or crocodile, they make him look like Crocs. The shoes. Check it out.

A side-by-side picture showing Del from Animal Crossing and a Croc shoe. Both have similar shapes and squarish holes.Very clever, Nintendo. Anyway, I went to the city today to check Crazy Redd’s new items, and he had a chair I hadn’t seen before: the cabin chair. I looked at my checklist, and it was indeed an item that I needed, so I bought it.

Redd: That's right! I'm talking about this fantastic little cabin chair...right here!I returned to Forest and watered my flowers. Three new black roses popped up today, so that was a nice surprise.

But Del had an even bigger surprise for me. You know how yesterday he asked me to catch a tiger butterfly for him, only to be disappointed when he saw what it actually looked like? Well oddly enough, he asked me for another one today! So I went looking for one, and about ten minutes later, I caught one. I gave it to Del and he thanked me and gave me a round cactus as a reward.

Del: At last! You brought it! The tiger butterfly is finally mine! Thanks, mmm Egbert!That’s all for today. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next time.

Chasing Butterflies

Today Robin was talking about a tip she read in a magazine. It said to bathe in root beer for smooth skin. Is a robin even heavy enough to reach the bottom of the tub, or would she root beer float on top?

Robin: Maybe I'll try that bath using root beer I read about recently in my Ms. Nintendique magazine.I saw Pete on his mail run, so I stopped him for a minute to say hello.

Pete: It's not easy flapping around, delivering letters each and every day.I went in Del’s house and he asked me to catch a tiger butterfly for him.

Del: It's weird. Last night I had this crazy dream... I was chasing after a bug called a tiger butterfly.While Del was trying to recreate his dreams, Rowan was struggling just to remember if he was already wearing a sweatband or not.

Rowan: I must've put on my usual sweatband, then forgot about it, and then put on another one!After I finished watering my flowers, I got my net out and started hunting for a tiger butterfly. I was mostly seeing white butterflies, but I finally saw a yellow one that I thought was a tiger butterfly. Turns out it was just a yellow butterfly. Oops, haha. But a bit later on, I did eventually track down a tiger butterfly.

I caught a tiger butterfly! Here, kitty, kitty!I took it to Del and he was not very enthused. I went to all the trouble of catching this for you, and you act disappointed? Despite his ungratefulness, he gave me 544 bells.

Del: Mmmm? Mr. J? So it's you again...Del: Huh, so that's what a tiger butterfly looks like? Bleh. Anyway, thanks, mmm Egbert.

Sunday in the City

I have a new video for you before I get started with what happened in Forest today. It’s Wi-Fi Moments #55. For those who may not know, I have a series of Youtube videos where I show clips of playing ACCF on Wi-Fi. They includes lag issues, glitches, and other funny or interesting moments. To see the full list of videos, click here. Anyway, here is the latest video:

Since it’s Sunday, I went to check the new emotions available at the theater. This week, they had heartbreak, worry, disappointment, and resignation. I’m trying to get agreement and outrage, but I’ve had no luck so far.

Clerk: What show would you like to see today? Heartbreak, Worry, Disappointment, Resignation, Never mind.When I came out of the theater, I was starting to wonder if there was an Ugly Convention going on in the city. Peggy and Jambette were both there!

Peggy and Jambette walking around in the city.I knew I had to quickly run for the bus. But things didn’t improve on the way home, as Kapp’n started telling me I needed to scrub my armpits! What??

Kapp'n: Ye might want to scrub yer pits on the bus 'fore we reach ol' Forest... Then ye'll smell like me!Luckily things went smoother back in town. It was a quiet Sunday evening with not much going on. I watered my flowers, dug up a few fossils, and then headed for home. See you next time!
