Katrina’s tent was set up outside of town hall today, so I ventured inside to get my fortune told. She started telling me a story about a faceless cat looking inside of a cave. That sounds like Blanca.

But as usual, her story quickly dissolved into a nonsensical jumble of words that don’t really say anything. The cat could give up, but she cannot. Happiness may come my way, or it may not. And then she took my money.

But the “fortune” was apparently more of a curse than a prediction. Because I fell flat on my face, right next to Margie. How embarrassing! 😛

Benedict asked for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “buhk buhk.” That’s what Hank says in the GameCube game.

Antonio (again) wanted to compete to see who could catch a monarch butterfly first. He said it would be a hot workout, up his nose.

Monarchs aren’t out this time of night, so I declined the offer (as tempting as that was, haha). He’ll have to sniff out his own butterflies and quit trying to bait me into joining an unwinnable contest.

A message on the bulletin board informed me that the acorn festival starts on Monday. I’ll be sure to check it out next week, on whichever day I end up playing.

Mathilda was looking forward to the festival, and she said the fact that we pick up acorns for fun, just proves to her how peaceful this town really is.

But the way she threw that “er” in there made me wonder if she was going to use a different word instead of peaceful. Like boring, perhaps? Hmm…

Good luck with the acorn festival, everyone! See you next week!

Tom Nook had a spotlight product for sale today, but it was one I’ve already bought in the past: a black queen.

Surprisingly, Benedict was talking about death and reincarnation tonight. He said if he died, he would want to come back as the ocean.

Victoria was all packed up and ready to move out of town, and I seriously considered letting her go. It’s not that I don’t like her, because I do. But it’s been a while since the villager lineup has changed, and I think the town needs some fresh blood. However, I couldn’t pull the trigger on the move. 😛 I ultimately asked her to stay anyway. But I do need to let someone move soon.

When I ran into Kabuki outside, he offered to sell me a mystery item for just 320 bells.

That’s pretty cheap for just about anything, so I agreed to buy it. It turned out to be a No. 2 shirt; I decided to put it on.

It must have been a lucky shirt, because the next time I spoke with someone, it was Benedict giving me his picture!

I was actually a bit surprised he hadn’t given me his photo already. Other villagers have given theirs sooner. So I checked to see exactly when Benedict moved into town, and I was even more surprised to see it was exactly one year ago today!

I put his photo in my upstairs room, but I had to change the layout of the room. I previously left an empty row between rows of villager pics, but I was running out of room! So I pushed them all together, just leaving just a path up the right side of the room.

Benedict’s favorite quote is “Bok bok bok?! Just kidding. A huh huh huh!” That’s really some insightful stuff. 😛

Antonio is now the only current villager whose photo I don’t have yet. That is another sign that my current crop of villagers is getting a bit stale.

Benedict was talking about Big Top and Goldie tonight, wondering if they were just friends or if they had some smooching going on. He asked what I thought, and I just left the slider in the middle between those options. He apparently loves gossiping about people almost as much as he enjoys eating!

Antonio wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a monarch first.

But it was late at night; I knew monarchs weren’t out! So I declined the offer, and he called me lame. How rude! Even villagers that I like end up annoying me sometimes in Wild World.

I did some fishing, and I managed to catch an arapaima!

I also caught a red snapper and several salmon. When I was done, I also gathered some fruit to sell at Nookington’s. In total, I earned about 70,000 bells on the night.
