I started up the game yesterday, and I was disappointed to see that Lucky was all packed up and moving out of town. 🙁

Saharah was in town last night, and she was collecting old carpeting. Unfortunately, none of my villagers had any old carpet to give me! Not a single one!

I played again tonight, and the northern lights were shining up in the sky. This is likely my last time seeing them this winter (since the snow will be gone by next Friday), so I stopped by the windmill to snap a photo.

To my surprise, Gaston told me that he hates when nature is this beautiful. I couldn’t help but wonder why? Does it make him look even uglier by comparison? 😛

Actually, his reasoning is that it should look this good all the time. I don’t know about that; I like my explanation better. 😀

Lucky was still in town today, so I didn’t get his goodbye letter yet.

K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night show, and I enjoyed his performance of K.K. Sonata.

See you all next time! Spring is coming! 🙂

Last night (Friday night), there was a heavy meteor shower underway. Maelle said that the clear, starry sky allowed her to see the Big Veggie Chili and the Big Pasta Salad. I’m guessing those are supposed to be constellations (like the Big Dipper)?

They’re not constellations that I’ve created, though. The game must use random food names for them.

I played again today, and it was fishing tournament day. Believe it or not, I was playing early enough to actually participate for a change! However, I got some bad news before I whipped out my fishing rod. Big Top boasted that he was the proud papa of a 74.6-inch tuna that was currently in the lead.

You can’t get more deflating than that. I gave it a try, catching several sea bass; but they were all in the 30-50 inch range. My biggest was 46.5 inches. Sea bass just aren’t even in the same ballpark as a tuna. You need to get lucky with a very rare fish like a stringfish or arapaima…and most of those aren’t even in season right now.

Even Curt seemed to recognize the futility of competing in this tourney.

I never managed to catch a tuna or anything larger, so I failed miserably at this tournament. 😛 But at least Chip ate well, I suppose.

I found a total of five items in the recycle bin today! In the afternoon, I picked up a kitchen sink, a hamster cage, and a red clock. Then tonight, I found a barber’s pole and a fern fossil. It’s rare to get a haul that big!

Have a great weekend, and I’ll see you next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂

Update: I titled this blog entry Impossible Tourney, but now I’m wishing I would have called it Fishin’ Impossible (like Mission: Impossible) instead. Oh well. 😛

Curt asked me to find him some new clothes tonight, and I told him I’d help out. He said he knew I was the type who couldn’t bear to see a friend in need. I’m sure the pun wasn’t intended, but I appreciated it regardless. 😛

I ran into Gwen, and she told me she was going to get herself a deluxe tumbler. She said that spoiling herself with “deluxe” things help her pass the time between events.

Even though Wolfgang is gone, his house was still there! Well, at least there was a house in the same spot. It belongs to Gaston now! He may be fairly unpopular, but I like him!

I rolled up a snowman, and unlike the one from last week, he was pleased with his appearance. ⛄

Maelle was enjoying some coffee at the Roost, and she asked how much cream and sugar I like in my coffee. I said “a lot,” and she had jokes. 😛

When I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, he played Cafe K.K. for me and Maelle (and Brewster, I suppose).

At the lost and found, I found a flame shirt. I took it over to Curt, and he lived up to his name. He got mad because it wasn’t a “subtle” shirt. He never said the shirt had to be subtle!!

So I subtly pushed his butt into a pitfall.
