Tank’s Birthday

Yesterday, Truffles was talking about how cute she looked in her diamond shirt. She even (falsely) claimed that she spent a fortune on it! 😮

Truffles: I know that! After all, I spent a fortune on it, on my Wii!
That’s hogwash!

I know it’s not true because I bought it for her myself! Whatever “fortune” she’s talking about must be a pig-ment of her imagination.

It was Tank’s birthday, so I headed over to his party.

Tank: YESSS! That thing in your pocket! That's my present, right, snappy?

I gave him a Moai statue that I got from Gulliver a while back. (I’ve been keeping a couple furniture items in my pockets for situations like this.) He seemed to enjoy the gift, and he gave me a black bishop in return. He even said now we’re best friends until the end of the universe!

Tank: As of now, we're best buds until the end of the universe, snappy!
Soo…until Tuesday or so? 😛

Caroline was also at Tank’s party, and she had an interesting idiom about cake. Too bad this game doesn’t even have cake at birthday parties. 😛🎂

Caroline: There's nothing better than birthday cake. It's like a slice of concentrated love.

Today, Drift was talking about how seeing the frothy sea makes him want to catch some huge fish.

Drift: Looking at the frothy sea makes me wanna grab a ship and catch something huge!
Okay, but how exactly are you going to grab a ship?

He said it would be a “hot adventure” of fish vs. abs. Drift is a weird dude.

Drift: Whoa, yeah! HOT ADVENTURE! Fish vs. abs, in a pond!

Whitney seemed really excited about the bear shirt that I gave her last week. It’s nice to see them follow up about things like this. I’m glad she likes it so much! 😊

Whitney: Wow, it's been a while since I've word something that makes me THIS pretty!

I could only find one of today’s fossils, despite taking an extra walk around town specifically looking for them! I’ll have to try again (and look harder) next time. 😛

Doing Favors

On Wednesday, Robin told me she’s been collecting blue furniture lately.

Robin: Lately I've been collecting blue furniture.

I took a look in the shop, and they had an elephant slide, which is partially blue. I bought it and took it over to Robin, and she said she didn’t even remember asking me for blue furniture! Even though only three minutes had passed! 😆

Robin: I haven't even mentioned blue furniture to you!
What a birdbrain.

But still, she accepted the gift. She rewarded me with some checkered tile.

Yesterday was the start of May, so I received my monthly bank statement in the mail. I earned 76,900 bells in interest this month.

Saharah was in town, and she again lost all her addresses.

Saharah: All my addresses...gone! My deliveries! My customers! What is a camel to do?!

I helped her out by taking a rug to Mabel, some wallpaper to Pelly (for Phyllis), and some wallpaper to Blathers. In return, Saharah offered me a concrete floor. That’s a solid reward, and it’s a good way to cement our friendship. 😉

Flea Market day is coming up on Saturday, and Truffles was looking forward to it. Except that she had a different name for it: Sell-Your-Lame-Old-Junk Day. 😆

Truffles: Hey, Sell-Your-Lame-Old-Junk day is on Saturday, on my Wii!

Caroline asked me to deliver a gift to Tank today, and it was a Nile shirt. He said it was “great,” but he followed that up with “I guess.” So it didn’t exactly sound convincing. Or maybe he was in de Nile.

Tank: Great, I guess, snappy.

I returned to Caroline and told her I made the delivery. She asked what Tank thought of it, and I said it was awesome. I didn’t tell her about the “I guess” remark. 😛

>It was AWESOME!

She then rewarded me with 510 bells.

Whitney asked me for some new clothes, so I bought her a bear shirt at Able Sisters. It may not be flashy, but it’s good for when she just wants the bear essentials.

Whitney: What?! Did you say you were going to give me this bear shirt?

She rewarded me with a pink tartan. I wonder why she didn’t just wear this instead of asking me for clothes? 😛

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • I shot down a yellow balloon present yesterday, and I found an automatic washer inside.
  • Curt came down with a cold this week, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today.
  • Over at town hall, I found a classic buffet in the recycle bin. I guess it was a leftover from a feast that didn’t pan out.
