The first snow flurries of the season fell in Forest tonight. Winter is coming, and soon.

My buddy Static had an easy request for me: He wanted a horse mackerel.

I agreed to help out. But before I went fishing, I went to check out a new house. I felt a bit worried as I entered the door…as it turns out, it was for good reason.

OMG, whyyyyyy? I don’t want this ugly monkey in my town! His name is Monty, and I’m starting to dislike my town residents of late. I now have three villagers that I strongly dislike (Kitty, Tiffany, and Monty). I need to start getting them out of here.

After making my rounds, I caught a horse mackerel for Static. He thanked me by giving me a billiard table.

Even though it’s Saturday night, I didn’t check out K.K. Slider’s musical performance this week. I guess I just wasn’t in the mood. Have a good night, everyone!

Yesterday, I received Sterling’s goodbye letter in the mail. He’s taking his biceps (and his helmet) on tour. 😛

As for his helmeted, chickeny counterpart Knox, today was his birthday. But he was just talking about gardening when I visited him. (Unlike Wild World and New Leaf, birthdays aren’t celebrated in City Folk…other than the notice on the bulletin board).

At the Roost tonight, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Swing for me. It’s not one of my favorite songs.

Back outside after the show, Tiffany asked me if I could return the Shrunk DVD that I borrowed from her.

But then she remembered she didn’t loan it to me, she loaned it to Knox. How did she get me confused with Knox? Maybe it was my helmet and beak.

I spoke with Mitzi, and she mentioned the fact that I’ve caught every fish in the game. I could be mistaken, but I don’t recall hearing that from a villager in City Folk before.

I recently posted my annual slideshow of the best pictures I’ve taken over the past year. If you haven’t seen it yet, here it is: The 11th Year in Pictures.

Last night, Puck asked me for some blue furniture that he can plop down in his house. I didn’t have any to give him, but I took this picture just because of the expression on his face. 😀

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine last night, and then again today.

The fishing tournament was held today, but I missed out on it. But I still had a quick chat with Chip, and he told me that Static was the winner. Congrats, Static!

Bones told me that he’s putting on some weight for winter. He said he’s always hungry lately.

I was surprised when I went into Sterling’s house and saw all his furniture packed up in boxes. Sterling is moving away without any advance notice…even though I just spoke to him last night.

A week or two ago, I gave him the greeting “Helmet twins!” I was hoping to get a screenshot of him saying that at some point when Knox was also in the picture. Now that isn’t going to happen.

Today is the 11th anniversary of Animal Crossing: City Folk’s release. I created my town on that very first day, and it’s the same town I still have now. If you’d like to see those first few minutes of Forest, here are three videos I recorded that day. (Youtube videos had to be less than 11 minutes long back then, so I had to split it into three).

I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
