Fish Abs

Crazy Redd was in town tonight, and he had a lovely painting for sale. Unfortunately, that’s not a piece of art that I still need for the museum.

A new “Message of the Week” was posted to the bulletin board, and it was about the saying “getting there is half the fun.”

*Message of the Week* If getting there is half the fun... What happens if you turn around halfway?There was also a new “Talking to Myself” post. And this one was about pretending to be an old lady.

-Talking to Myself- If you're nervous about going somewhere for the first time, pretend you're an old lady. Works for me!

Bud asked me to catch a yellow perch for him, but he seemed a little too enthusiastic about the fish’s sleek body and hard abs. It was kinda creepy.

Bud: That sleek, shimmering body! I'd kill for that kind of chiseled physique!Bud: Just thinking about hard abs like that keeps me up at night, maaan!

At town hall, I made a 45,000 bell mortgage payment. I then set out to do some fishing in the river. And before long, I caught a yellow perch.

I took the fish over to Bud, and he told me he would’ve caught one hours ago if not for his pulled…trapezoid.

Bud: Oh, if it weren't for this pulled...uhh...trapezoid, I woulda had one hours ago!He also said his rhombus was killing him. He must be out of shape. 😛

Bud: Yeah...and my sore rhombus. It's been killin' me.Anyway, he gave me 510 bells for the fish. I resumed fishing for a few minutes, but I didn’t come across anything good. So I wrapped up my night. See you next time!

If you haven’t yet seen my latest Wild World video, Ep. 12, here it is! It shows highlights from my town from November through January.

Snowman TV

I had a chat with Hopper this afternoon, and he was quite annoyed by the snow that was falling. He said he wished he could be collecting shells on a warm summer day. Okay, sure, but he’s a penguin! He should like the cold weather!

Hopper: Aw, man! I wish the sky would knock off all this stupid snowin'...

Big Top was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a modern wall.

I visited Puddles, and she told me how she enjoys to sit at home and pig out on dark chocolate. Sounds good to me!

Puddles: Hi there! Sometimes, it's nice to sit at home and pig out on dark chocolate!
Puddles is my spirit animal.

Rhonda was all set to move out of town, but I got her to reconsider. I might as well try to get her picture before I let her go.

Rhonda: Jeff, if you want me here so badly, I'll think about it.I noticed two snowballs were fairly close together behind Nookington’s, so I rolled them up into a snowman. It wasn’t my first snowman of the season, but it was my first snowman of 2018. And it was my first perfect snowman of the season. He should be sending me a gift in the mail. 🙂

Snowman: All flawlessly executed! And my face... Perfection!
Are you sure you’re not leaning?

At town hall, I made a 35,000 bell mortgage payment.

I ended my game for the moment, but I started it back up around 9 p.m. I had some new mail, and it was a letter from the snowman. He sent me a snowman TV; I put it in my house.

The snowman TV in Animal Crossing: Wild World (ACWW) for Nintendo DS.

I went over to the Roost to check out some music from K.K. Slider. He played K.K. Rockabilly for me.

After that, I visited Hopper. He told me a bit about Pascal’s past. Apparently he was hit in the head with a soccer ball when he was young. That was apparently the cause of his philosophical ways. 😛

Hopper: From what I hear, when he was young he was hit in the head by a soccer ball.Hopper: He wasn't hurt, but from then on he started mumbling random philosophy.I did a little fishing, but I didn’t catch anything good. So I ended my game shortly thereafter.

I’ll be posting my next Wild World video within a couple days…and possibly by tomorrow. Check here to see my latest videos: jvgsjeff videos.

Fully Expanded House

Tom Nook has completed the work on my house, adding a back room. The exterior of the house also has a new, larger look.

My newly expanded house.

In the new room, I put up the cityscape wall that Hopper gave me last time. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with this room, though.

My back room, with a cityscape wall but nothing else.

After giving Big Top some more medicine, I went to Nookington’s to speak with Tom Nook. Before he told me how much I owe him for the expansion, he tried to tell me that he’s taking a big loss on this project. Oh, please.

Tom Nook: So, on to the price... Now, I want you to know I'm taking a huge loss on this.He even said he was bleeding money! He then said I owe him 9,480 bells? However, he quickly corrected himself, saying I could afford to pay 948,000 bells. Wow, what a jerk.

Tom Nook: You can afford... 948,000 bells!I wasn’t happy about the price, but at least this will be the last loan I have to pay off. That’s because my house can not be expanded any more.

Tom Nook: And just so we're clear on this, I cannot expand your house any more. Not at all.Crazy Redd was in town, but his lone piece of art this week was a scary painting. I already have that one in the museum, so I held on to my money.

When I ran into Kiki, she told me that she saw Puddles furiously stomping on the beach one day. She said she had never seen anyone do that before…but actually, she witnessed the exact same thing just over a year ago too! So she has seen it before. And maybe Puddles has an annual winter meltdown.

Kiki: I've never seen anyone stomp around a beach so furiously, le meow!

After speaking with everyone in town, I did a little fishing…but I didn’t catch anything good. After selling all my fish, fossils, and fruit, I went up to town hall. I paid 45,000 bells towards my final mortgage.
