I found Forest’s resident monkey, Simon, all packed up and ready to move out of town tonight. Even though I’m not a big fan of monkey villagers not named Champ, Simon has grown on me a bit. I’m certainly not devastated that he’s leaving or anything, but I do wish it was someone else.

Some of my villagers are looking forward to Toy Day (Christmas Eve). Curt is already wondering what gifts he’ll receive this year. None from me. 😛

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

Big Top was walking around with his watering can, talking about flowers. He said he loves roses, tulips, and…cosmoses?

I always thought the plural of cosmos was also cosmos. But apparently, either way is correct. I still think “cosmoses” looks funny written out like that, though. 😛

Tom locked himself out of his house, and I wasn’t originally going to help him out. But I saw a small fish in the river, so I gave it a try…bingo! I wouldn’t mind these favors if I always found the key on my first try like this. 😂

When I took it over to Tom, he rewarded me with a rhythmoid.

See you all next time!

The fishing tournament was held today, and Goldie said she didn’t care about the results. (Neither did I.) But she was just happy to see that Chip was happy and full (from scarfing down all the fish that the contestants brought him). 😛

Winter has arrived to the world of Animal Crossing, and I used the opportunity to build my first snowman of the season. He was pleased with his appearance, so he should be sending me a reward in the mail.

I attended K.K. Slider’s show at the Roost, and he performed “My Place” for me. I like it a lot, even though it’s not quite in my top tier of K.K. songs.

Gwen asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “woof woof,” which she apparently learned from Goldie. I hate when villagers use phrases meant for a different species, so I told her to say “pen gwen” instead. It’s not my best work, but at least she’s not barking like a dog now.

Gwen also asked me to deliver something to Maelle, and I agreed to help out again. The gift was a dice shirt, and Maelle said she’d try to find a good spot for it. 🎲 Spot, get it? Okay, I’m sure the pun wasn’t intended, but I tend to spot puns regardless. 😉

When I told Gwen the delivery was completed, she rewarded me with a sea bass. Wow, you might as well just give me a shirt if you’re handing out awful rewards. Or stationery, even!

However, a couple of other villager requests went unfulfilled tonight. Simon asked me to catch a centipede for him. I banged rocks like crazy, but all I found were pill bugs. Also, Big Top wanted a stego torso…but specific fossil requests are always long shots. Besides, I only found two fossils tonight, despite going around town multiple times really looking closely for them! Sorry, guys.

If you haven’t yet seen my recent house tour video, here it is!

I listened in on a conversation between Big Top and Goldie last night. Big Top asked Goldie what smelled so good, and she said it was her coconut hair spray. Big Top then said Goldie was like a walking lollipop! 😮

The conversation was pretty awkward by that point, but Big Top took it another step further. He asked Goldie if he could chew on her hair! 😂

When it comes to regular dialogue, I know that City Folk is one of the weaker games in the series. But the animal-to-animal conversations are an exception. I love these interactions in City Folk! So bizarre and funny. 😂

Today, I worked on my house a bit. And in fact, I finished it and recorded a new house tour! Watch for the video on my channel tomorrow (Sunday). 🙂

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town. He performed Lucky K.K., but I didn’t feel very lucky, because my batteries died out shortly after the show. 😛

Gwen asked me for a fashionable sea bass, and I agreed to help out (since sea bass generally aren’t that hard to find). I caught one on my first try, and Gwen rewarded me with 516 bells. That’s an unusual number of bells.

Near the museum, I shot down a balloon present…and timed the screenshot perfectly. I found a starman inside. To refresh your memory, balloons often (but not always) contain Mario furniture in this game.

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. See you next time!
