Kabuki’s Pic

Mom sent me a letter in the mail telling me that the huge tree in the backyard is dead now. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Mom.

Dear Jeff, Do you remember the huge tree in the backyard? Well, it's dead now. Poor tree. -Love, Mom

At least she attached an apple (a foreign fruit) to the letter. I also received a letter from Wishy the star, and he sent me a modern cabinet.

Benedict found another can of expired food, and he asked me to open it. This time, I declined. So Benedict called me a judgmental jerk!

Benedict: What! That's so mean! J-town, you're a judgmental jerk!

When I visited Victoria, she was talking about her interests…including eating candy.

Victoria: Wait! I'm really not a pig. I just like candy. Is that such a crime?!

And this was one of those times when her catchphrase “I ate it” really fit the situation.

Victoria: There's nothing here for you to take, I ate it!

Kabuki was the last of my villagers that I ran into tonight. And he surprised me by giving me his picture!

Kabuki: Here... Take this picture of me. It's all yours!

I guess I shouldn’t have been too surprised, because he has lived in town for a year and three months. But I just wasn’t expecting it. I took it back to my house. His favorite quote on the back is “Hoo-ha konichiwa!”

My villager photo room, now with Kabuki's pic.

That was my 16th villager picture. It looks like Benedict and Antonio are the only two current villagers whose pictures I don’t have yet. Hmm, maybe I should have opened up Benedict’s gross can of expired food after all. Oh well. See you next time!

Old Nicknames Are New Again

Goldie told me she was out collecting shells tonight. She was talking about Tom Nook, and she said that he had a wild past. Or at least that’s what Sable told her. So I went in Able Sisters to see if Sable had any juicy gossip for me, but she didn’t. 😛

Goldie: But he's a man with a wild past, meooo-OH!

Big Top was packed up and ready to move away, but I was able to change his mind.

It’s Saturday night, so I went down to the Roost to hear some live music. K.K. Slider performed the song Pondering for me.

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

After the show, I ran into Goldie again outside. She pinged me, hit me with a “Hey bunny,” and wanted to suggest a new nickname for me.

Goldie: I was just trying to think up a good nickname for you, bunny.

Her suggestion for a new nickname? Bunny!

Goldie: Bunny! Doesn't that have a nice ring to it, meooo-OH?

I told her that was fine, even though it sure sounded a lot like the old nickname. 😉 Well at least she’s not making me bounce around from one nickname to the next.

While I didn’t really go bug-hunting like I do in City Folk, I did spot (and catch) an elephant beetle.

I caught an elephant beetle! The heavyweight of beetles!

Shortly before wrapping up my night, I heard a single shooting star and wished upon it.

A shooting star in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Victoria’s Birthday

I got my hopes up when I saw that Nookington’s had a spotlight product today. But it turned out to be a mummy’s casket, which I’ve already bought before. 🙁 But they also had a Nintendo bench, and I was shocked when I saw the price: Only 96 bells! Really? Wow! I bought it instantly, even though I already have one in my house.

Timmy, talking about a Nintendo bench: The price is 96 bells. Would you like it?

But the real reason I bought it (besides the great price) is that today is Victoria’s birthday. I headed over to her house for the birthday party, and Mathilda was also there to help her celebrate.

Victoria: It's my birthday! You've got to give something to the birthday girl, I ate it!

I gave her the bench for her birthday present, and she really, really seemed to like it!

Victoria: Yessssssssssssssss! A Nintendo bench!

Today was La-Di-Day, but nobody actually sang a song for me. You typically have to speak with someone repeatedly before they’ll do that, and I basically just chatted with each villager no more than twice.

K.K. Slider was performing at the Roost, and I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Faire, which is one of my favorites!

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

I collected and sold some fruit, but I also made a few nice catches: a shark, a goliath beetle, and two red snappers. I made about 95k on the night.
