Friday Night Forest

Saharah was in town today, looking for old carpeting. I went around and asked my villagers, but Rowan was the only one who had some old carpeting to give me. I put it in storage for next time.

At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest; Yann came over to visit. For some reason, she was shaking my trees and when money fell out, she would say the trees were pooping. I asked her to clean the poop up, but she refused. Yet she still kept shaking more trees. o.O  So I had to clean up after her. 😛

After a little bit, Patty also came over to visit. I hadn’t seen her in a long time. We all talked for a while, but Patty didn’t stay long. We took a group photo before she left. As you can see, Yann and I were still wearing our green outfits and hair from St. Patrick’s Day.

Yann, Patty, and Jeff by the gate. Yann and Jeff were wearing green from St. Patrick's Day.Yann and I just hung out and did some fishing. She was trying to catch a koi, but I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. I didn’t catch anything good.

I did see Melba sliding by me at one point. Yann was nowhere near her, so she wasn’t being pushed, either. She just slid on by, looking at me the whole time. I’ll have to include a clip of that in the next Wi-Fi Moments video, which is coming soon.

A bit later, I talked to Anabelle and she was telling me about how she lost her toothbrush. Why in the world would she need a toothbrush? Anteaters don’t have teeth!

Anabelle: I can't find my stupid toothbrush, and it's REALLY STRESSIN' ME OUT!A bit later, Skye dropped in for a minute.

Skye, Jeff, and Yann in Forest.Even though she couldn’t stay long, it was nice to see her again. Hopefully she’ll be able to stay longer next time. After she left, I ended the party for the night.

I will be opening up my Bananas town on March 31st (Easter Sunday). That’s a week from Sunday. I’m not sure of the time yet, but it will be earlier than my usual opening time. I will not be opening Forest next Friday.

Metroid 4

It’s Wednesday, so I went to the city to check Crazy Redd’s new items. He had a backyard pool, a serene painting, and a steam roller. Even though every room should have a steam roller sitting in the middle, I passed on this week’s items.

Waving to Bob from across the river.Then I made my way around to the beach, where I woke Gulliver up.

Gulliver: You've found it! My...my interstellar astro-thingy! My missing spaceship part! Well done!I gave him the spaceship part and he gave me another Metroid! It took me forever to get a Metroid the first time, and now he hands them out like candy at Halloween! This is my 4th one. Crazy.

Wendy and a UFO

I noticed a new house in town, so I went to investigate. I introduced myself to Wendy, my new villager.

Wendy: Ohmigosh! It's YOU! No, wait. We've, like, never met before, lambkins.Avery approached me and told me I should ditch the name Jeff. He said I should be known as Skippy from now on. Even though I’m more of a Jif guy, I didn’t object. “Skippy” is better than most of the nicknames they come up with.

Avery: Aha, whaddaya say to skippy? That's a real gem, isn't it? And it fits you to a tee!By all indications, today was a UFO day. I haven’t been hunting the UFO as much since I completed my Gulliver collection last November, but the past few weeks I’ve been checking to see if each day was a UFO day. And today was one. At 6:02, I shot down the UFO.  This was my first UFO of 2013 and my 25th overall. It looks like Caroline was expecting the UFO to beam her up!

Melba: Do you think it's weird, the way I can't stop saying "toasty"?So I had her say “g’day mate” instead.

Melba: It shouldn't be too tough for me to remember, but we'll see, g'day mate!I then saw a green balloon and got an interesting picture of it.

My inventory screen, with the player window filled entirely with green from the balloon.I shot it down; it contained a cubby hole. And then after that, I finally found the spaceship part.

The spaceship part in the grass.Tomorrow I’ll go see Gulliver on the beach and exchange it for one of his rare items. See you tomorrow!
