As you may know, I really liked the color/shade of grass we’ve had lately. I know some people didn’t like it, saying it looked boogery or pukey, but I didn’t see it that way at all. But now that it’s October, the color has changed again. It’s now a yellower shade of green and now it looks boogery or pukey.
Anyway, Pete greeted me with a letter from Nintendo about the new DLC–the creepy clock.
As the letter says, the creepy clock is not a regular clock that tells the actual time. The hands spin around rapidly (in reverse, no less) that make it seem as if it’s haunted.
With that, the creepy set is almost complete. The last item will be the creepy wallpaper, which will be sent out starting on October 16th–in plenty of time for Halloween. And speaking of Halloween, I got a letter from Jack, reminding me of the festivities on October 31st.
I also got my monthly statement from the Bank of Nintendo. I earned 76,350 bells in interest this month.
A message was posted on the bulletin board about next Monday. October 8th is Explorer’s Day (better known as Columbus Day).
I then went into Nook’s to buy my first piece of candy for the year. Of course, my Guest character has a couple dozen pieces of candy in storage that I can use as well.
I saw Jambette walking around, so I pitfall’d her.
She didn’t enjoy it, although Eloise sure seemed happy.
And finally, I saw Pascal standing on one of my bridges. I gave him a scallop and he gave me an anchor before he jumped into the river.
He was handing out a wheat bundle for the “autumn moon,” which is really the harvest moon. This is what the wheat bundle looks like:
With today being Sunday, I headed to the theater in the city to check the new emotions for the week.
Back in Forest, Anabelle reminded me about the autumn moon tonight.
Avery told me a rumor he heard about Yann from Dotty over in Tropical.
Del again wanted to move out. Fortunately, I was able to talk him out of it.
Bob then asked me to catch a pale chub for him. It was too late in the day for them though, but I did a little fishing anyway. I caught several salmon.
Later that evening, I started up the game again to check out the autumn moon.
It’s not really anything special. It’s a shame it isn’t a real festival where the animals gather together to watch it, like they do 
A little later, Yann and I were at the top of the cliff and Jorge and Megan were down below. Here I was trying to hit Jorge with my net.
While in Nook’s, Jorge pointed out that I had a lot of birds in my town. In fact, four of my ten animals are birds, even if they are all different species.
While in my house, Yann mentioned VC (the Virtual Console for Wii). Megan asked what VC stood for, so after the real answer was explained, we all started making up possible acronyms for VC.
Jorge left my house before everyone else. When he does that, he’s usually planting pitfall seeds to try to trap the rest of us. He even buried a shell as a decoy to distract from the real pitfall seed.
Jorge ended up pitfalling Yann several times. He also got me once later on.
Everyone was talking about food (and sushi) a lot tonight. I followed Megan into Rowan’s house and eventually trapped her in the corner for a while.
Later on, we hung out in front of Nook’s twirling our umbrellas.
We eventually got disconnected, but it was late, so I didn’t reopen my gate.
