Forest’s New Queen

Lucky was sick with a cold today, so I gave him some medicine. Hopefully he’ll start feeling better soon. Maybe his mummy could make him some chicken noodle soup. 😛

Lucky takes his medicine.

Rasher asked me to make a delivery to Goldie, so I took over the folk tunic. To my surprise, Goldie hated it so much that she called it a dreadful gift and even suggested burning it! 😮

Goldie: What am I going to do with this dreadful thing? Maybe I should burn it, so that no one else has to see it.

That’s about the strongest reaction to a gift I’ve ever seen. Rasher gave me some kitschy tile for making the delivery, but he was angry about Goldie’s reaction too.

Rasher: You better believe we are going to sit down and have a chat. Grrrr. Woof woof!
Maybe you should leave town. That will show her!

K.K. Slider was at the Roost for his Saturday night performance, and he played Soulful K.K. (aka “Lean on Me”) for me.

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

There was a new house across the street from Portia’s old house. Inside, I found Portia’s replacement, Queenie!

Queenie: Well, the rumors are true! I am the newly arrived Queenie that the whole town is talking about!

Even though I’ve had her in my GameCube town a couple times in the past, I don’t know her very well. Ostriches aren’t exactly my favorite animals, and snooties definitely aren’t my favorite personality, so she may not have a whole lot going for her. But I’ll try to give her a fair chance. Welcome to Forest, Queenie.

After selling some fruit, I earned enough money to kick my bank account balance up to 45 million bells.

Your current balance is 45,000,000 bells.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

On Monday, I found out that Portia is moving out of town. She didn’t give me any advance notice, or I would have tried to stop her.

Portia: I'm moving out soon! I'm just too special to stay in one town for very long.

In the city, I ran into Stitches the teddy bear. He said he was thinking about getting a haircut because he’s “shaggier than a shredded laptop.” I literally have no idea what that means.

Stitches: I was thinking about getting a haircut today 'cause I'm shaggier than a shredded laptop!

I played again today, and I received Portia’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear Jeff, The day has come for me to leave Forest. Thank you for making life here SO wonderful. I'll always remember you! -From: Portia

Forest now has only three dogs remaining. But fortunately, they are three of my favorite dogs: Goldie, Bones, and Lucky.

Another possible point of interest is that Bob’s original house plot is now free once again. If he wants to come back and reclaim his spot, I would be more than happy with that. Believe it or not, it has been seven and a half years since Bob left…so it’s not completely impossible to think he could return at some point. 😛

As for my current favorite villager, Goldie asked me to make a delivery to Gwen tonight. I took the grass shirt to the snooty penguin, and Goldie later rewarded me with a mop.

Goldie: Um, I can give you a mop.

As far as I can tell, its name is not Moppina. 😛

In the city tonight, I ran into this shady character named Rizzo. 😉

Rizzo: I was planning to stop by Redd's shop while I was here, but now I'm not so sure I should go.

He just moved out of my New Horizons town on Wednesday, so now I guess I know where he went. 😛

If you haven’t yet seen my latest ACCF video, City Folk Moments #12, here it is! I hope you enjoy it!

Snorkeling on Land

Last Friday, I ran into Daisy at GracieGrace. She said she should probably come back later when prices have dropped more.

Daisy: I think that maybe I should come again later, when the prices have dropped a little more... Bow-WOW.

My first thought was “yeah, good luck with that,” but she’s actually right. It’s been so long since I actually shopped here that I forgot they do drop prices several times at the end of each season. The stuff is still very expensive, though.

Saharah was in town, looking for old wallpaper. So I asked around and received just two, from Rasher and Portia.

Portia: And don't tell anyone I gave you that old wallpaper, OK, wolfman?

That left me one short of the three I needed, and I didn’t have any spares in storage. So I just put these two in storage for next time.

On Monday, I got a chuckle out of Nook ‘n’ Go’s bulletin board post. They posted that they had a rare common painting in stock. 😛

-Nook Special- This just in! We just received a rare piece, a common painting, in our showroom! Nook 'n' Go

I saw Pascal on the bridge, and I went up and spoke to him…without even remembering to pick up a scallop first. But he told me that hanging out at the beach is like snorkeling on land.

Pascal: Hanging out at the beach is just like snorkeling on land, maaan.

Bones has been sick the past couple days, so I’ve given him medicine yesterday and today. He even said his head was spinning, which just reminded me of the time he was running in circles. 😛

Bones: My head is kinda spinning right now, woof woof... Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Back outside, I shot down this balloon present. There was a beach table inside.

When I started up the game as my Scott character to fix a couple of path patterns, I got another pack of “not used” flower seeds in the mail from Mom. They turned out to be pink tulips. Last time, they were black cosmos. I guess “not used” is just a generic name for hybrid flower seeds, regardless of which ones they are.

I’ve posted a couple videos over the past few days that feature some ACCF footage, even though they’re not strictly ACCF videos. Just today, I took a look back at some exclusive favors in each Animal Crossing game (such as the lost key in City Folk).

And I also recently posted a video about five special characters that are not animals.
