Piggy Back

The fishing tournament was held today, and Chip informed me that Mint won the competition with a 44.3-inch sea bass. Meanwhile, Tom was just talking about karate for some reason. 😛

Tom: I tell ya, for a while now I've been just nuts about watching karate.
This gave me “I like turtles” vibes. 😛

Ruby told me that Antonio and Mint were having an argument earlier, and she didn’t know whose side to take. So she just walked away. 😛

Ruby: I ended up just sorta walking away until the fire died down, li'l ears.

Gabi’s replacement has moved in today, and it’s Curly the pig. I’ve had him before, and in fact, I had him when I started this blog in 2011. Welcome back, Curly!

Curly: WHOA! You must be one of my new Forest neighbors!

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Chorale for me.

K.K.: Here's a jam that'll shine the blues clean off your shoes... It's called K.K. Chorale.

In the city, I spotted my old buddy Rolf. I was also enjoying the sign for “The Marquee,” which you can only see in full from a few specific angles.

Rolf walks towards me in the city.

See you next time.

Bunny Day, Pink Trees

Sunday was Bunny Day (aka Easter Sunday), and Zipper T. Bunny was in town for the occasion. One thing I love about the event in this game is how villagers throw shade at Zipper, (literally) behind Zipper’s back.

Nana, standing behind Zipper: I don't know who it was, but he...or she...was wearing a mangy old bunny suit and wandering around.

Roscoe even suggested Zipper might’ve had ear augmentation surgery. 😆😆😆

Roscoe: Oh! I wonder if he's had ear-augmentation surgery? That's popular with bunnies but can look odd.

My job was to dig up the bunny eggs that were buried all around town.

Look at that! I dug up a Bunny egg!

Some of them contain bunny foils, which can be given to Zipper for egg furniture. I managed to find ten of the 12 bunny foils.

My ten bunny foils in ACCF.

I redeemed them for ten egg items, which I then sold for a total of 89,776 bells. As for the other eggs, they just had candy inside. I’m saving them for future use, since Halloween and Festivale both use candy.

Today, I received Gabi’s goodbye letter in the mail.

My dearest Jeff, I'm gonna move. It's hard to leave, since we're BFFs and stuff... But I have a picture of you that I took when you weren't looking, so I'll never forget you! -Like, from Gabi!

Now that April is here, many of the hardwood trees have pink leaves for cherry blossom season. They’re pretty! 🌸

Several pink trees in Forest.

Mint told me that she checked with the gatekeepers (Copper and Booker), and there were no visitors in town. That can mean that it might be a UFO day (or just a Pete day). But when I spoke with Mint again, she even suggested that we might have a rare visitor!

Mint: I wonder if we'll have any rare visitors, ahhhhhh?

It was too late to check for Pete, so I couldn’t know for sure. But I decided to check for the UFO at 8:07, 9:02, 9:07, 10:02, and 10:07. No luck. If I knew for sure Pete didn’t come today, I might’ve kept trying. But without being sure, it probably wasn’t worth the time and effort. If it’s a UFO day, it usually comes the first hour or two anyway. So I think Mint was just messing with me. 😆

Rabbit on the Run

I was a bit disappointed (believe it or not) to see Gabi all packed up today. She’s moving out of town, so soon after Ruby arrived. I didn’t even get a chance to get a photo of my two white rabbits together.

Gabi: Hiya, pop star! I know this is kinda sudden, but I've decided to move to another town.

Speaking of Ruby, she was having an odd conversation with Grizzly outside of the museum tonight. Grizzly encouraged her to give him a glare, and then he told her to “practice” on me. So Ruby turned to me and said, rather loudly I might add, “You’re gonna get it!”

Ruby, loudly: ...You're gonna get it!

And that was it. Grizzly walked away, and I didn’t get a proper explanation. I guess he was coaching her on how to act threatening, or something. When I spoke with Ruby, she just said she was stressed about her missing toothbrush…and then she started talking about the owl siblings, Blathers and Celeste. She said that they’re over ten years apart.

Ruby: Gee! They're, like, over ten years apart... And yet they're ALWAYS arguing about stuff!

I went inside the museum to attend K.K. Slider’s show down in the Roost. I asked for a random song, and he performed Rockin’ K.K. for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Rockin' K.K..

After the show, Antonio had the nerve to ask me what I was wearing on my melon. 😛

Antonio: What's that on your melon? A mohawk wig?

He seemed to like it, though. He wished he had one to wear to tae kwon do practice, just to mess with people. 😛

Have a great Easter, everyone! If you’ll be participating in the Bunny Day activities tomorrow, check out my Bunny Day Guide! See you next time! 🐰
