K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed Soulful K.K. for me and Eloise. I just heard this song in City Folk two weeks ago, so I’m a bit tired of it. 😛

The Nooklings were only paying 46 bells for turnips today. But since Saturday is the last day to sell them, I sold them at a loss. I never saw the prices above 100 all week. Granted, I don’t play in the mornings, but still I’ve had bad luck two of the last three times I’ve bought turnips.

Not much was going on in town, so I went out to Lottie’s island to work. Lottie told me she had something different for me to do this time: She was ready to turn that empty building into a school! We went over to the site, and she told me how to change the dimensions of a room. I turned it into a 10 x 8 classroom.

I added some school desks, basic school chairs, some upright lockers for the back of the classroom, a chalkboard, a skeleton, an anatomical model, and of course a desk and chair for the teacher.

When I was done, Lottie told me it was time to choose a teacher (from among the animals that I’ve designed vacation houses for). Sprocket was the default choice, so I stuck with him. Lottie also asked me to name the school, and I called it Aja Blu Academy.

When I was done taking photos in the classroom, we also went outside to take a photo of the schoolhouse exterior.

With the job done, Lottie paid me 25,000 Poki for completing my first facility. Just as in Happy Home Designer, I enjoy making facilities more than houses.

I posted a new, short video today. It shows what it might look like if your Animal Crossing character could see one second into the future. 😉 I hope you enjoy it!

See you all next time!

On Wednesday, C.J. was in town with a seasports challenge for me. He wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row, so I caught a sturgeon, a football fish, and a red snapper. I sold those three fish to C.J. for 23k, and then I got another 184k worth of fish out of storage for him.

Yesterday, Beau was camping at the campsite. He’s cute, but I didn’t ask him to stick around.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in some “everyday clothing.” I had no idea what would qualify as everyday clothing, but logically, it seemed like almost anything would work. Well maybe not a suit of armor or frog suit, but any regular-ish clothes. So I kept the same clothes on (I just took off my hat and put it back on), and she said it was fashion perfection. 😛 She gave me another Labelle skirt.

Today, Static told me that he lost something. I found the lost item (a pouch), and he rewarded me with a fired-up kanji tee.

As I was chopping down some trees on a mysterious island, TZ sent out a message to her best friends that she was opening her gate and anyone was welcome in her town of Miitomo. So I decided to surprise her and drop by for a visit. She joked that it was Friday Night Miitomo instead of Friday Night Forest. 😛

Even though I’ve dreamed of Miitomo before, I think this was my first time visiting “in person.” TZ has updated her town quite a bit since then, so she gave us a tour. Here’s the (headless) angel fountain.

And this is her pink castle.

We also checked out her house, and I loved the Baby Brewster! But I think he was crying for pigeon milk.

TZ bought us all some coffee at the Roost, and then she gave us some food and ice cream. Thanks, TZ!

I had a good time in Miitomo tonight. Thanks to TZ and her friends! 🙂

On Sunday morning, Daisy Mae was selling turnips for 100 bells apiece. I bought 1,700 of them.

The shop on Lottie’s island had a bunny garden decoration for sale, at a cost of just 1,500 Poki. I bought it, because I knew just what to do with it! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that I like to put an item related to a villager’s species right outside their house (when possible).

For example, I had a paper tiger outside of Tybalt’s house and an elephant slide outside of Tia’s house. So this bunny is going in front of Sasha’s house.

Agent S asked to visit my house, and I accidentally said yes. D’oh. 😛 I showed her around, and she hopped on my toilet!

The glare on her helmet made it look like she only had one eye. 😀

Today is the first day of February, and two Valentine’s Day items are again available through Nook Shopping: The chocolate heart and heart-shaped bouquet. Also, Nook’s Cranny now stocks Festivale items.

Eloise offered a treasure hunt game, and I agreed to play. However, I had a lot of things not in my favor. For one thing, I hadn’t dug up any of today’s fossils yet…so each dig spot I saw only had a ~20% chance of being the treasure. Secondly, my pockets were full. So each fossil I found had to be swapped out, costing me even more time. And thirdly, she only gave me three minutes instead of the usual six.

That was a recipe for disaster, and I ended up losing the game. (But I found all my fossils.) 😂

I believe that was the first time I’ve failed the treasure hunt game.

Once I did find the treasure, I spoke with Eloise again and she took the item back. 😮

Louie was enjoying some coffee at the Roost tonight. He said that his workouts are so intense that a coffee buzz feels like a nap in comparison. 😛

I recently found a D.I.Y. recipe for a plate armor, which is the suit of armor furniture item (not the wearable outfit). I made several of them, and I placed them outside the entrance(s) to my castle. They look better than the warrior statues I had been using.

Wisp was in town Sunday night and then again tonight. He gave me a frilly skirt on Sunday, and a spray can tonight. Jolly Redd’s ship was in town tonight, but Redd didn’t have any art that I needed.

Sasha asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “while I hop.” I’ll keep an eye out for any funny sentences that result from his new way of speaking.

See you next time!
