An Unproductive La-Di-Day

It was storming in town tonight, just like it was last Saturday. I got a letter in the mail from Mom, and she wrote about how autumn snuck up on us.

Dear Jeff, All of the sudden, I can hear crickets and grasshoppers. Fall snuck up on us again. Guess summer's over. -MomToday is La-Di-Day, so the animals in town were talking about their singing skills. Kiki even said that’s going to become a superstar! Good luck, Kiki!

Kiki: Next, I'm gonna get myself a record deal and become a superstar, le meow!Joey the duck was sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine. He flipped for it. Get well soon, ducky.

Joey flips as he takes some medicine.A new “Talking to Myself” message on the bulletin board talked about safety. The author always sets things down horizontally instead of vertically.

-Talking to Myself- If something can sit vertically or horizontally, I always set it horizontally. Safety first!
Of Course you Do.

I went to the museum, where Blathers identified some dino droppings for me. And downstairs in the Roost, K.K. Slider performed a waltz.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Waltz!In front of town hall, Hopper asked me if I was from the countryside. The option for yes was “wooo-haaa!” which I thought was pretty funny. πŸ˜€

Hopper: You're not from the countryside, are you, slushie?

My villagers continued to talk about the (potentially) new town tune, but no one actually sang one for me. That’s because I generally just talked to each villager once, and they don’t usually sing unless you talk to them a few times. Oh well, I’m fine with the town tune we have now.

Rod: No WAY this husky voice of mine isn't gonna make the new town tune, in my ears!I did a little fishing, but not much. I saw some large fish shadows in the ocean, but none of the were coelacanths. Every one was either a sea bass or a salmon.

I wrapped up my night by making a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall.

Citrus Day

It must have been citrus day at Nookington’s. Among the furniture items available today, they had an orange chair, a lime chair, and a grapefruit table.

Outside, Baabara asked me for a new catchphrase and I told her to say “your mom.” As I was trying to get her to use it in a humorous way, she asked me to deliver a letter to Kiki. But then she saw that I didn’t have an empty slot to hold the letter.

Baabara: Just look at your grubby paws! They're full of stuff!
PAWS? EXCUSE ME?!

Being the genius that she is, she then asked me to take a letter to Rod. Duh. I couldn’t do that either. And then she again asked me to take a letter to Kiki! Again, not possible. At this point, I was sick of talking to her and I moved on.

Static’s replacement has now moved in…into the same exact spot where Static lived! Inside the house, I found Joey the duck. I think I know where he came from… Joey just moved out of my GameCube town the other day. πŸ˜‰

Joey: Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Joey, bleeeeeck.Crazy Redd was in town, and I used the password “bean curd” to get inside his tent. He had a scary painting for sale for 3,920 bells, so I bought it. Over at the museum, I learned that it was a genuine painting! So Blathers happily accepted it for display in the museum.

She thanked me for the medicine I’ve taken her, and she gave me a token of her appreciation…a grapefruit table. Good thing I didn’t buy that one at the shop (even if it was a juicy deal).

Rhonda: A deal's a deal. Here's your grapefruit table. Enjoy, bigfoot!I caught a few fish and bugs, but nothing very valuable. Since I didn’t earn much money tonight (and what little I did earn went to pay for that painting), I didn’t make a house payment this time.

Salmon Run

It was storming in Forest tonight, and I spotted something I don’t recall seeing in an Animal Crossing game. Lightning. Not just the flash of light, but actual bolts of lightning up in the sky!

Rain falls as a bolt of lightning strikes in Animal Crossing: Wild World for Nintendo DS.September is here now, and that means the salmon are making their run. I caught both the regular salmon and the king salmon in town.

Woo hoo! I caught a king salmon!You may notice a note in a bottle next to me in that picture. I opened it up and it contained a letter from a pen pal.

Dear Pen Pal, Hello! If we ever get a chance to meet up, let's take it. Until then, I'm going fishing! -Your palA new “Talking to Myself” message was posted on the bulletin board outside of town hall. It mentioned a song that’s supposedly popular in other towns.

-Talking to Myself- Hip hop hippity hop... Hip hop hippity hop... That song is popular in every town but mine! Boo!
It must be a hip-hop song.

Today was flea market day, and many of the outdoor villagers were telling me to go home so they could shop. I wasn’t interested, so I carried on. The indoor villagers, of course, offered to sell some of their belongings. But there was one indoor villager who didn’t participate. That was Rhonda, who was still sick. I gave her some medicine once again.

Rhonda: Thank you! It's nice to have a friend who doesn't run screaming when I get sick.
Now that you mention it, I wouldn’t want to be in front of you during a rhino sneeze.

I went to the museum to donate my new fish, and Blathers told me an interesting fact about the king salmon. He said that as it swims upstream to spawn, it doesn’t eat anything along the way.

Blathers: What many DON'T know, however, is that it eats nothing while en route!So when they first start our their journey, they’re all fatties. πŸ˜› (His words.)

Blathers: They're all fatties!I then went downstairs to get a new song for my stereo at home. K.K. Slider performed SeΓ±or K.K. for me.

Afterwards, I checked my map and verified that Static’s replacement has not moved in yet. I went over to town hall and made a 30,000 bell mortgage payment before wrapping up my night.
