The Same Crossword

Yesterday, Pippy gave me some “advice” about staying warm in winter.

Pippy: Say, hon... You should always move around a lot when it snows.
Pippy: That way, you can stay warm for FREE! Tee hee! I'm soooo smart!

Pippy and Truffles both asked me for advice on a crossword puzzle, saying they needed the right 7-letter word. In both cases, I chose “crumble,” and that was the right answer. I guess they were both stuck on the same word! 😛

Truffles: It's this 7-letter word. any guess, hon? >Crumble.

It can be annoying getting the same bit of dialogue twice in a row, just moments apart…but that’s the way the cookie crumbles. 😛 Anyway, Pippy rewarded me with a floral wall and Truffles gave me some cabana flooring.

When I visited Filbert, he was angry that Curt called him a pesky little bug. Aww, don’t pay attention to Curt! You’re the best, Filbert!

Filbert: That big meanie Curt called me a pesky little bug! What's the big deal?

Filbert said he ate a fried dough…or six. 😛 Eat what you want, little guy. Curt is just a big bully.

Filbert: So I ate a fried dough! Or six! Whatever!

Today, Filbert was again upset. But this time, he was said that I wasn’t around when he had wanted to make snowmen with me. Aww.

Filbert: 'Cause I wanted to make snowmen with you, but you weren't around!!

He then asked me to make a delivery for him, and of course I had to accept the request. But it was easy, because he wanted me to take a gift to Robin, and we were already standing close to Robin’s house (you can see it in the previous screenshot). He sent her a spade shirt, and Robin loved it!

Robin: Filbert never ceases to amaze me... I feel so understood!

When I told Filbert the news, he rewarded me with an arched window.

Whitney told me she found someone’s diary, and she wanted to read it with me. I suggested skipping to page 1000, and it only said “THE END.” Maybe I should’ve picked an earlier page. 😛

Whitney: Wait a second... What kind of person writes THE END in a diary?

After I finished up making my rounds, I went down to the Roost for K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Safari” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Safari!

Remembering Her Own Name?

On Wednesday, Marina gave me a free bear shirt. But I regifted it just two minutes later, when Pippy asked for some new clothes. Pippy loved it, and she rewarded me with a blue ribbon.

Pippy: Here! Your favorite! A blue ribbon!

I wondered if it was attached to a medal, like a first-place prize being awarded to me. But it was literally just a blue ribbon (an accessory), to wear in my hair. Not what I expected (or wanted). 😆

Over by town hall, I listened in on a conversation between Curt and Marina. Marina said that she’s not good at remembering names, so she associates everyone’s names with a color. But one of the examples she gave was more than a bit odd…

Marina: Then, I just remember you as, like, Green Jeff! Or Purple Marina!

Purple Marina? Why would she need a word association trick to remember her own name?! Wow. But anyway, she eventually decided that Curt was a “burnt umber” after he first mentioned the color.

Yesterday, Curt told me that when the weather is this cold, he can’t be bothered to do anything. He even has a hard time keeping his eyes open…with legs.

Curt: It's hard to even keep my eyes open...with legs.

The fishing tournament is coming up this weekend, and Filbert was imagining how the fish were handling it. He imagined fish families being torn apart.

Filbert: I'm picturing this scene: I'll go, too, Dad! No, Son, you're too young...

He even made himself cry thinking about the hypothetical fish family.

Filbert: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's such a sad story, with legs!
Actually, it’s without legs. They’re fish.

Robin has been sick with a cold this week, so I gave her some medicine Wednesday and Thursday. By today, she was over her cold, and she thanked me by giving me some cloud flooring.

Whitney insulted me, saying I lack a personal style. She said to make a “catch” like her pay attention to me, I need to be edgier.

Whitney: In order to make a catch like me pay attention to you, you gotta be edgier.

She recommended I start up a rap band. That would certainly backfire spectacularly. 😆

Whitney: You should form a band and play rap for me to dance to.

As much as I like Whitney as a character, she doesn’t seem super likable in Wild World. Maybe her snootiness just took a while to catch up with me. So I think Filbert, not Whitney, is currently my favorite villager in town. (I previously ranked Whitney over Filbert, but I reserve the right to change my mind once in a while.) 😆

I posted a new video today, even though it’s not exclusively a Wild World video. It takes a look at the winter vibes throughout the series.

See you next week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Marina Souffle

On Wednesday, Whitney seemed to be getting tired of the winter snow already. She said it’s great at first, but then it gets old…like having a crush on a pig. 😆

Whitney: But it gets old with time. Hee hee, kinda of like a crush, on a pig.

As of yesterday, snow now covers the ground in Forest! And pretty much every town that’s set to the current date. I do agree with Whitney about it being nice at first. But I’m not sick of it just yet…maybe in a month or so. 😛

Playing Animal Crossing: Wild World in the snow, including me hitting a money rock.

I was speaking with Curt, and he randomly told me that he thinks Marina is like a chocolate soufflé that has come to life! I have no idea what he means, but Marina had better be careful around hungry bears like Curt. 😛

Curt: I think Marina is like chocolate souffle that's come to life!
I think she looks more strawberry than chocolate.

He better not start eating my villagers! I may not be the mayor here, but I certainly frown on things like that. 😛

Today, I received a letter from Mom. She said she’s going to send out her holiday cards, but she needed a snack first. Then she decided to send the cards later. 😆

Dear Jeff, I shall write my greeting cards today. All of them! But first, I need a snack. I'll do it later. -Mom

Robin told me about a new restaurant that opened up in the next town over.

Robin: I heard a weird restaurant opened up in the next town over, la-di-da!

She said they serve vichyssoise-flavored salmon burgers with baklava. She dropped a not-so-subtle hint that she’d like to go there with me…if I’m paying. 😛

Robin: If you're paying, I'd be more than happy to join you, la-di-da.

One other thing that’s been on my mind is that I haven’t seen a UFO in a long time. In fact, it’s been six months! Hopefully I’ll start seeing them again soon, because I still need one more Gulliver item.

I posted my latest Wild World video today, episode #83. I hope you’ll check it out:

I also posted the annotated version of Episode 3, which you can see here.

See you next week!
