I saw Del today and he was looking for his wife. Today is November 20th, the day Yann said she was marrying Del. 😛

Avery tracked me down and invited me to play a game of hide-and-seek. I had ten minutes to find Avery, Anabelle, and Amelia: The three A’s.

Avery didn’t go very far; he hid behind the bulletin board about ten feet away from the starting point.

Amelia didn’t go very far either. She was right behind Scott’s house.

And before long, I also found Anabelle. She was behind Sydney’s house. It only took me about three and a half minutes to find them all, and a good chunk of that time was saving these three pictures. That was probably the fastest I’ve ever won the game.

Afterwards, Avery awarded me with a mini poltergoid.

I then finished watering my flowers. I went in Iggly’s house and found out that he’s moving out. He’s all packed up and ready to go. Iggly was alright, but I don’t mind him moving out because his house is really in a bad spot that ruined my path.

In an unrelated note, I now have a Wii U. My Nintendo Network ID is jvgsjeff, so if any of you want to send a friend request, feel free. I just got it, so I’m not entirely sure how it all works, but I hope to get it figured out soon.

I started up the game and noticed that once again, for about the 8 millionth day in a row, it wasn’t raining. So I had to again water my flowers. It’s a shame I can’t take one day off from watering my flowers without risking a bunch of my hybrids.

It’s as if Nintendo went out of their way to make maintaining your town as big a pain as they could. Pulling weeds every day? Nah, not evil enough. Let’s make them water flowers and punish them if they dare skip a day! Muhahaha!

Maybe if they want to add more length to their games, they should try adding more features instead of going about it the cheap way and turning everything into an annoying chore. If anything ever kills my interest in Animal Crossing, it’ll be tedious nonsense like this. Of course if the grass didn’t wear away and turn towns into deserts, I never would have had to deal with flowers in the first place.

I then went to the city to check emotions. Once again, no Frillard emotions.

For the past 161 weeks, I’ve been trying to acquire every emotion at least once. That’s over three years, and there still two emotions that have not shown up in all that time. The rates at which rare things show up in this game is ridiculous.

I then went to identify some fossils. I had five altogether; three I found today plus two I had in my pockets from yesterday. And one at a time, I had to hand it to Blathers, and scroll through his annoying speeches. Then I had to hand him the next one, and so on.

Why can’t Blathers identify more than one at a time? Better yet, why can’t my character automatically know what they are? He can automatically tell a classic wardrobe from a classic dresser, so why can’t he tell the difference between a piece of amber and a T-rex skull?

Animal Crossing is a fun game at its core, but the tedious, useless tasks you’re forced to perform make you wonder why you even put up with it.

Today was the 4th anniversary of the game’s release in America. But nothing special happened in the game to commemorate the occasion.

After watering my flowers earlier this evening, I then opened my gate at 10:00. Yann came over to visit. In the Able Sisters’ shop, Sable was sewing a one-ball shirt. But there was already one on display. If nobody wants the first one, why make another?

Later, Yann showed off her new Mii. It’s Pikachu!

I walked by Amelia and at first I thought she was holding an axe. It was just her wing.

I also went to visit her counterpart Avery.

I did some fishing. Even though there aren’t a lot of great fish out this time of year, I did catch a lobster, a couple koi, and a football fish.

From the top of the waterfall, Yann caught a fish at the bottom of the waterfall. I tried to time the picture just right, but it didn’t turn out quite as epic as I had hoped.

Shortly before midnight, I ended the party for the night.
