I received Monique’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight.

Mere seconds after I stepped away from my mailbox, Bones approached me with a request to play hide-and-seek. It seems like I haven’t played it in a long time (in any AC game), so I agreed to play. I had 15 minutes to find Bones, Rasher, and Puck.

Two and a half minutes later, I found Bones hiding behind an orange tree. A minute after that, I found Puck, with a considerably worse hiding spot.

A couple minutes later, I found Rasher trying to hide behind the museum.

Bones gave me a buzzoid for winning the game. I later gave it to Brewster for safekeeping. I want to eventually store one of each gyroid with Brewster, but I think I still have a long way to go.

When I visited Wolfgang, he informed me that Goldie was raised by wolves! Was he one of the wolves that raised her? Is that how he knows?

I finally got to see the inside of Lucky’s tomb house now that he’s all unpacked, and he has several pieces of Egyptian furniture, as you might expect. But he also had a couple of asteroids, which I found interesting.

At the Roost, I checked out K.K.’s Saturday night musical performance. It may still be February, but K.K. was ready to march into March. 😉

Goldie asked me to catch a dung beetle for her, so I did just that. In return, she gave me a teacher’s desk.

I received a letter from the snowman I built last week, and he sent me a snowman lamp. I sold it for a cool 8,888 bells.

When I went to visit Monique, I was surprised to find her all packed up and ready to move out of town. It’s actually a good thing to see her go; I just didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Over in front of town hall, Chip was hanging out due to today’s fishing tournament. He informed me that Goldie won the tourney with a 95-inch tuna! Wow, congrats Goldie!

Puck asked me if I had eaten any pizza today. Ha, I wish. 😛 When I told him no, he asked why I was acting all cheesy. 😛

I made my way over to the Roost, where K.K. Slider was performing. I asked for a random song, and he played K.K. Salsa for me. It’s actually a pretty entertaining song when performed live.

After the show, Goldie asked me to catch a mole cricket for her. I agreed to help out, so I kept my ears open. I heard one near the northwest bridge, so I started digging holes. The mole cricket popped out, I swung my net and missed, and then my batteries died!

That was horrible timing for my batteries to die out like that! By the time I replaced the batteries, the mole cricket was obviously long gone. I heard another one behind Scott’s house, and I dug a bunch of holes before it appeared. Once it did show up, the house blocked my view and my blind net swings missed the target. It too got away. Oof.

Fortunately, the third try was the charm. I finally caught a mole cricket near Nook ‘n’ Go.

I took it over to Goldie (who was near where I missed the first mole cricket), and she pinged me as I got there. She wanted me to tell her a new greeting, but I didn’t want to have to think of something for her to say. 😛 She got annoyed that I wouldn’t help her, so I had to wait for her to stop being angry before I could give her the bug. But once I did, she was happy to have it.

She gave me some imperial tile for helping out. That task turned out to be trickier than I expected!

Rasher was complaining about the cold weather tonight, saying it made it hard for him to keep his cheery disposition. (Since when has Rasher ever had a cheery disposition?!) He was hoping for a nice girl to show up and share her scarf with him. Ha. Keep dreaming, swine.

I attended K.K. Slider’s show at the Roost tonight, and he played K.K. Song for me. That’s not my favorite song, so I decided to listen to another song. But this time, I made a silly request just for fun.

When I visited Portia, she asked me to return a CD called “The Whole World Sings with K.K. Slider.”

But then she realized that she lent it to Monique, not me. I’m insulted that anyone could confuse me with Monique!

You know how when a villager has fleas, they will (temporarily) change their catchphrase to something like “itchy” or “scritchy?” Well, I mistook my newest villager Lucky’s catchphrase rrr-owch for one of those flea-bitten phrases.

So I just assumed he had a flea on him and I hit him with my net twice, trying to catch a flea that wasn’t there. Oops! Poor guy! In my defense, he did not use his catchphrase last week when I first met him. But I’ll have to remember that’s his default catchphrase from now on. 😛

By the way, that picture of Lucky above is my 7,000th screenshot saved in City Folk. It’s a meaningless milestone, but I tend to notice things like that since the filenames are numbered. 😛

I made another large snowman, and it was perfect. The snowman gave me a new title: Lord Freezingworthtonshirealot. That sure is a mouthful, so I guess he’ll just have to call me Mr. F.

I gathered and sold a bunch of fruit, and I made about 100k on the day. I also earned 99,999 bells in bank account interest since this was my first time playing in February.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
