Hopper Hops Away

On Saturday night, I listened in on a conversation between Baabara and Margie. Well, it was pretty one-sided, actually. Baabara was telling Margie how boring she is. She even made Margie cry! It’s one thing to be rude to me, but to be rude to innocent Margie?

Baabara: Whenever I talk to you, Margie, I get really bored, shear me.

Down in the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Ska for me.

I played again tonight, and Big Top told me he was obsessed with football lately. But then he admitted he just wanted us to like the same things, so things wouldn’t be awkward when we’re together.

Big Top: I just want us to like the same things. Then we won't have many weird silences.

Crazy Redd had another painting I didn’t need again this week: the moving painting.

When I visited Hopper, he told me that he was leaving Forest. Since I already have his picture, and I already have a rude villager (Baabara) if I need to be insulted, I decided to let him go. Baabara alone produces more then enough negativity for the whole town. 😛

Hopper: Hey, J-rock. I wasn't gonna tell anyone, but... I'm leaving Forest.
k bye

The latest “Message of the Week” on the bulletin board says that midnight eating is bad…but it feels so good.

*Message of the Week* Eating at midnight is bad. But if feels so good!

I visited Baabara in her house tonight, and she was telling me about the type of clothes she likes to buy…wool! How fitting! Although…doesn’t she have enough of her own? Why the need to buy more?

Baabara: Wool, of course! It's fluffy and warm, but also light. It is the ultimate in comfort!
Ewe would say that.

Curly asked me for a new catchphrase, and I cooked up something meaty from the past. I gave him a catchphrase I also gave him in ACCF back in 2011…baconballs!

Curly: Hey you! Baconballs! ...Oh yeah! Nice! NICE!

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my game for the night. Have a good day, night, and week! See you next time.

Spice in My Stew

Crazy Redd was in town today, and I used the password “be charged” to get inside his tent. He had a nice painting for sale, but I didn’t need it. The last couple of paintings always seem to take forever in Animal Crossing games.

Kiki has been asking me for some black furniture lately, and today I saw a modern bed for sale at Nookington’s. I bought it for Kiki, even though it cost me 2,320 bells. She was happy to have it, and she said she owes me dinner. She also gave me an ivy wall.

Kiki: Oh, J-rock, thank you so much! I owe you dinner or something!

Big Top’s house was empty again, as he was planning on moving away. But once again, I got him to reconsider.

Big Top: Wow, I wasn't expecting that response... Maybe I'll think it over once more.

Curly asked me if I like Pelly or Phyllis more. I responded by saying Pelly. Curly said Pelly looks nice, but he likes more spice in his stew.

Curly: Personally, I like a little more spice in my stew, bigfoot!
And I like you in my stew.

After I finished making my rounds, I cleaned up my pitfall seeds by the gate and put them in storage. I then checked my town status at town hall. Pelly said it wasn’t passing, but not failing either.

Pelly: Like, more than milk, but not quite a milk shake, now what I mean?!

She then got a bit more specific, saying if we added some green, it would help. I’m really not looking forward to having to plant tons of flowers and water them every day, to be honest. So I’m still not tackling this issue just yet.

Note: I didn’t play last Saturday, so I didn’t get any new K.K. songs since last time. I’m not sure if I’ll play this Saturday either, but maybe.

Petriperm

On Saturday, I found a note in a bottle. It was actually a help-wanted ad from the Animal Crossing team! They were looking for adventurers to fish and pick fruit for up to 800 bells an hour.

Wanted: Part-time Help. Seeking new and seasoned adventurers to pick fruit, fish, and much more! Earn up to 800 bells per hour! -Animal Crossing Team

Big Top was still sick, so I gave him some medicine once again. And at the Roost, K.K. Slider played some reggae for me.

Tom Nook had some new dialogue for me. He said that Harriet approached him and said that he would look good in a petriperm.

Tom Nook, quoting Harriet: Nook, I bet you'd look absolutely scrumptious in a petriperm!

Tom Nook didn’t know what she meant, but he pretended that he did.

Tom Nook: Oh, yes, yes, a petriperm. I had those all the time when I was younger!Tom Nook: ...Yes, yes, a blatant lie. I acted like I knew what it was, yes?

He said Harriet just laughed and laughed.

I played again today, and Big top was over his cold. He thanked me for the medicine and gave me a backyard fence.

I listened in as Bud and Hopper had a conversation about…nose hair. I didn’t want to get tangled up in that.

Bud: You're got a serious nose hair issue going on, bigfoot!

Crazy Redd was in town, and he had an opulent painting for sale. I didn’t need it.

There was a new Message of the Week on the bulletin board: Blood is thicker than water.

*Message of the Week* Blood is thicker than water. That's kinda gross.

I went into town hall to check on my town status. Pelly told me that there were too many items on the ground. That’s because of my pitfall seed collection near the gate. I’ll need to clean those up sometime soon.

When I went into Nookington’s, Tom Nook informed me that he finally figured out what a petriperm was. It’s short for “petrified perm,” where the hairdresser gives you very tight curls. Tom Nook thought he’d look like a clown if he had one.

Tom Nook: The curls are firm as rock! Why, if I did that, I'd look like a circus clown!

There was a new house in town, and Margie the elephant was inside. She seems nice.

Margie: Anyway, I'm Margie. I really hope we can be friends, tootie!

Curly asked me to deliver a gift to Baabara, and the package contained a nurse’s uniform! Interesting. When I returned to Curly, he rewarded me with 500 bells.

My town is about a year and a half old, and I still have much I want to do. My goals are to complete the museum, to complete Boondox, and to achieve perfect town status.

I also want to shoot stuff down with my slingshot. Not only the UFO and Pete, but I haven’t even shot down a balloon present yet! Without a shadow on the ground, it’s so hard to judge the distances of whatever appears on the top screen. I’ll do it eventually, though.
