My town’s squirrels seem to be getting along very well. Nibbles even suggested that she may stay over at Static’s house for dinner. I guess they can nibble acorns together.
When I visited Big Top, he surprised me with a reference to the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. He asked if I liked steam engines, and then he told me that the town he grew up in had a train stop. He even mentioned the monkey (Porter) that worked at the train station!
Rod asked me for a new catchphrase, so I told him to say “in my ears.” I then spoke to him several more times to see how he would use it. Ultimately, he told me he works out so much because he wants more muscles, in his ears.
Crazy Redd was in town, so I used the password (which I received in the mail) to get into his tent. I bought a scary painting from him.
Unfortunately, Blathers soon informed me that the painting was a fake.
Hopper challenged me to a crawfish catching competition. So I caught one in a nearby pond, and took it back to him. He wasn’t happy that I beat him so quickly, and he had trouble accepting my win. But ultimately, he rewarded me with 510 bells for my win.
Once I was done making my rounds, I did some fishing. I caught my first koi, and the accompanying text is so bad that the game groans at its own pun.
I donated the koi to my museum and then ended my game for the night. See you next time!
I then went back up and caught that snail. It was my first one.
Even though I just gave Rod a new shirt last week, he was bugging me for another shirt today. But I didn’t feel like buying him new clothes again this soon, so he’ll have to wait.
The new message of the week on the bulletin board advised readers to always carry extra shorts. I wonder what happened to Phyllis(?) that made her suggest this… but then again, I probably don’t want to know.
When I ran into Baabara, she gave me an illusion floor for free. Baabara being nice? It must be an illusion! But I decided to put it on the floor of the left room in my house.
I went fishing and caught three new fish: a barred knifejaw, a catfish, and a goldfish. I donated all three of them, along with my snail, at the museum. Blathers told me about the goldfish he once had when he was young: He called it Sir Blithers.
At town hall, I made a 45,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my game for the night.
Hopper wanted to compete to see who could catch a sea bass first. Since villagers can’t actually catch fish on their own, I figured it would be easy. So I agreed to the competition.
Puddles was finally over her cold, and she thanked me profusely. She also gave me an arched window.
In front of my house, I ran into Baabara. She was talking about how she once wanted to be a pop star. When she was done talking, she asked me to pretend we never had the conversation.
