It’s time for another update on my Bananas town. I started up the game and saw a new elephant villager; her name is Opal.

After selling all the foreign fruit, I went around digging up all the fossils and gyroids I could find. I also built a snowman. When I was done, I had enough money–400,000 bells–to get my fountain. So I went to town hall and donated it to the town fund.

With that goal accomplished, I was done in Bananas for now.

I later started up my main town Forest on my Wii U. I took the bus to the city to check Crazy Redd’s new items. He had a classic sofa, a moody painting, and a ranch tea table.

I then returned to town to water my flowers. Unfortunately, I didn’t find any new black roses today. I ran into Avery and he asked me which of the four town hall employees (Pelly, Phyllis, Pete, and Tortimer) I thought was the most popular. Tortimer was my guess, mainly because he hands out free gifts at holidays.

Anyway, I am once again going to open my Bananas gate this Saturday night at 10pm Eastern Standard Time (7pm Pacific time). Just remember that I won’t be opening my Bananas gate very often, and when I do, town may fill up quickly. So I can’t guarantee I’ll get to play with everyone.

Also, I have plenty of foreign fruit now, so you don’t need to bring me anything.

By the way, I just found this on Amazon and thought some of you might be interested. It’s a set of 6 plush Animal Crossing characters: Animal Crossing Plush Set of 6 at Amazon.com.

I started today off with a trip to the city to check the new emotions at the theater. They had disappointment, happiness, realization, and surprise. I didn’t need any of those, so I returned to Forest.

Today is flea market day in town. I generally don’t participate in those, because I’m not interested in selling my stuff and I don’t usually want anything my animals have. Still, I went in Bob’s house to look around. But his blue clock was off-limits.

I then decided to try for the money rock. It’s not something I usually fool with (at least not in Forest, where I don’t need the money), but today I just started banging a rock for the heck of it.

I got six hits in (for a total of 4,100 bells). I know you can easily get seven hits if you dig the holes behind you, but I’m too lazy to do that for every rock. Also, I’m usually reluctant to do that because on GameCube, I’ve become good at getting seven hits without digging holes. Unfortunately, that skill hasn’t transferred over to City Folk.

Anyway, I stopped in the museum observatory and woke up Celeste. “BOO!”

I decide to erase a couple of my constellations. I’ve heard that Animal Crossing: New Leaf doesn’t have constellations, and it got me thinking that the sky usually looks better without the lines drawn between stars anyway.

So I removed a “rose,” which was literally just one single line that I got from someone else’s town, and I also removed my snake. It was quite ugly, really. I still have five or six other constellations, but I left those up for now. Besides, if I removed all the constellations, I might start feeling like the King of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy.

I’ve played Animal Crossing: City Folk so much over the past 4+ years, that it’s not often I do something I’ve only done once or twice before. But that happened today: I waved to an animal.

Bob was on the other side of the river and looking at me, so I pointed and clicked on him. That made Bob and I wave to each other, and it plays a little chime when it happens too. It’s usually tricky to do, mainly because the emotion overlays get in the way. This is my first time taking a picture of the wave.

As I went around watering flowers, I ran into Avery. He told me that the sky would look pretty tonight. That means there will be Northern Lights.

I also spotted Saharah in town. She was looking for old carpeting. Rowan was snooping in on the conversation.

At 10:00, I opened my gate. Yann came over to visit. Of all my animals, Rowan was the only one who had an old carpet to give me. And I only had one in storage, so once again I got no rare carpet from the hairy camel.

By 10:30, the Northern Lights were in full force.

Yann and I were discussing ideas for a Zelda Kart game. The Zelda universe has enough unique characters, settings, and weapons that Nintendo could make a good racing game using them. They’ve already made seven Mario Kart games, so why not something a little different? Oh well, I can dream.

Anyway, Yann got to meet Caroline (and her demonic eyes) for the first time, as I was shaking a tree for no apparent reason. I later closed my gate for the night.
