Raised in a Barn

After starting up my game today, I quickly made my way to Shampoodle to change my hairstyle. It seems that Wild World does not have the style that I use in City Folk and New Leaf, so I went back to my original style. However, I now have dark brown hair.

Harriet: With this new hairstyle, you'll be the toast of Forest, sugar!I visited Static, and he thought I was Kiki at first! Is that because my hair is so dark now? 😛

Static: Huh? Oh, captain, it's you. I thought it was Kiki. What a relief.The message of the week on the bulletin board said that the Mexican wrestler cries beneath his mask. Wait, I’m wearing a wrestler shirt… 😛 Is Phyllis trying to pick a fight with me?

*Message of the Week* The Mexican wrestler cries beneath his mask. Wounds of the heart hurt the most.Both Yuka and Baabara, with identical wording, scolded me for walking into their houses without first issuing a proper greeting. Besides the fact that it’s literally impossible to do that in Wild World, it seems that they both share a brain.

Yuka: It's common courtesy to offer a proper greeting. Were you raised in a barn?Baabara: It's common courtesy to offer a proper greeting. Were you raised in a barn?But yet Baabara said her boyfriend comes and goes into her house (and even ate her cake) without saying a word to her.

Baabara: My boyfriend comes and goes without saying a word to me, daahling...After identifying today’s fossils, selling the contents of my pockets, and talking to all of my villagers, I headed to town hall. I paid off the last 40,000 on my loan.

Me, celebrating: My home loan is ALL paid off!I returned to Tom Nook, and he thanked me for paying off my debt. He offered to expand my house further, and I agreed. I chose a red roof this time. He said the work will be done tomorrow, so we’ll get to take a look at it next time!

Tom Nook: All right! Red it is! I'll mark that on the plans.

First Blind Haircut

Tomorrow is La-Di-Day once again, so several of my villagers were talking about it tonight. Chevre, who was standing in front of Big Top’s house for some reason, said that she’s not going to lose to Big Top the tone-deaf dweeb. Wow, harsh words coming from Chevre.

Chevre: All I know is, I'm not about to lose to Big Top. That dweeb is tone deaf!Crazy Redd was in town tonight, with a tent set up near town hall. I received his letter in the mail, so I already knew today’s password. When Redd said “neighbor raccoon,” I had to reply with “one ugly fellow.” Inside, I took a chance on the calm painting that he had for sale. It cost me 3,920 bells.

Redd: I sold it! Yeeeeeee haaaaw! Crazy Redd sold somethin'! Yup, yup, yawoooooooo!!!I visited Rod, and saw that he was about to move out of town! I got him to reconsider, though.

Rod: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, I'm evil!There was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board. Surprisingly, it was about toilet paper! o.O It said that toilet paper is cuter when a design is added to it…such as puppies.

-Talking to Myself- Does toilet paper become cuter when a design is added to it? Mine is covered with puppies!
Puppies or poopies?

When I walked by the pond, I heard a frog croaking! So I got my rod out and waited for the frog to hop on. This is my first frog in Wild World!

I caught a frog! Leapin' ...lizards?I donated the frog to the museum. I wonder what Puddles will think when she visits the museum and sees it. “That could have been me…”

I also gave Blathers my calm painting, and surprisingly, it was real! Of the art I’ve bought from Crazy Redd so far, the paintings have been real three out of five times.

The calm painting in the museum in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW).At Nookington’s, I decided to go inside Shampoodle and get my hair done for the first time. I went in blind, figuring I’d just try to my luck to see what Harriet does to me. And…I wasn’t happy with the result.

Harriet: Well, what do you think?! It's a whole new you, huh?!
I think I’d like my money back.

I’ll have to look up a hair guide and make Harriet fix my hair next week. 😛

Baabara gave me a bonfire for free, so I returned home and put it upstairs. I then wrapped up my game for the night. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Opposable Thumbs

Static was back to being his usual cranky self when I visited him today.

Static: You don't go into a home AND YELL AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS! I CAN HEAR YOU!
You’re the only one yelling, you surly squirrel.

I figured I was due for a change of clothes, so I bought this wrestler shirt at Able Sisters.

Mabel: Wow! You are looking really, really good!Gracie was outside of town hall today, but I didn’t even speak to her. I did try to vandalize her car again, though.

Hitting Gracie's car with my shovel.Yuka suggested that we compete to see who could catch a yellow butterfly first. Since I just saw a yellow butterfly about two seconds before, I was confident I could win the competition. The fact that animals can’t catch bugs themselves also helped my chances. So I caught the bug and gave it to her; she rewarded me with 510 bells.

Yuka: I lost to you?! Those opposable thumbs you have really help, huh?
And yet you’re holding your net just fine.

The bulletin board’s message of the week was about milk and milk shakes.

*Message of the Week* Milk is good for you. Milk shakes, not so much.When I visited Chevre, she thanked me for all the medicine I’ve been taking her lately. She rewarded me with an imperial tile.

Chevre: If it weren't for you, I'd still be curled up in bed, feeling miserable!In Nookington’s, Tom Nook had some new dialogue for me. He was upset that Harriet suggested a new hairstyle for him. He believes that his current hairstyle is the only one that works for him. And he said that he trims his hair every single day!

Tom Nook: But I trim my hair every day, hm?Before wrapping up my day, I made a 33,000 bells mortgage payment at town hall. I only owe 40,000 more on my current loan, so I may be able to pay off by next week.
