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. 😆

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. 😛

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. 😛

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. 😆

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

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. 😛

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!

Yesterday, I was surprised to find a goodbye letter from Caroline in the mail. She left without warning. 🙁

I also got my monthly bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 90,250 bells in interest this month.

When I went over to Robin’s house, I saw that Truffles was also there visiting. I didn’t realize it initially, but it was actually Robin’s birthday party! Fortunately, I’ve been keeping a couple of spare furniture items in my pockets, so that I always have an emergency birthday gift on hand. So I gave her my Mrs. Flamingo. Happy birthday, Robin!

She gave me a lovely vanity as a party favor.

Today, I got another surprise. Caroline’s replacement has already moved in! And guess who it is? Marina the octopus!

Marina just moved out of my City Folk town in October, and she lived in my New Horizons island as recently as 2023. So I’ve been seeing a lot of her in the past few years. But that’s not a problem, because I like Marina a lot! Welcome to Forest, Marina! 🙂

Robin asked me for some new clothes, so I bought her an earthy knit at Able Sisters. But when I took it over to her, she wouldn’t accept it! She said it would look better on me.

She said she didn’t want to make the other girls feel bad by looking too pretty in it? So why then would it look better on me?

Filbert asked me to deliver a letter to Truffles for him. But as soon as we finished the chat, Truffles walked right up to us and started a conversation with Filbert! She told Filbert that this was his chance to tell me something.

But he denied having anything to admit to me, and the conversation left him depressed. I then gave Truffles the letter from Filbert, and she told me to say hello to him (again, he was right there). But I couldn’t tell Filbert anything yet, because he was too upset.

Once he finally started feeling better, he thanked me for delivering the letter, and he rewarded me with 510 bells.

On Thursday, Pippy informed me that she was finally over her cold. She thanked me for all the medicine and she gave me a fireplace. She told me to enjoy it in a pond, but I don’t think it will work there.

Robin asked me for a new greeting to replace “Where’s Batman?” I agreed to help out, but I kept a similar theme…

Over by Nookington’s, Truffles told me that Tom Nook and Sable have “some sort of relationship.” Of course, that’s not really saying much.

Pascal was in town yesterday, so I had a chat with him on the shore. He told me that love is blind like an eyeless deep-sea creature. That’s oddly specific. 😛

He gave me a ship cannon…presumably to fight off any eyeless deep-sea creatures that may crawl ashore. 😛

When I visited Caroline, she offered me her spare jackhammer. It’s funny to me that a cute squirrel not only has a jackhammer, but has a spare jackhammer. How does a squirrel end up with things like this? 😆

Tonight, some snow flurries greeted me as I started up the game. It’s that time of year!

Curt is the latest animal to come down with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and again today. Get well soon!

Whitney’s catchphrase continues to pay dividends. She’s been told that her skin looks like fresh snow, on a pig. 😆

After making my rounds, I finished up my night with a concert at the Roost. I asked K.K. Slider for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Cruisin'” for me.

Just a heads-up for those who follow my Wild World video series. The first seven episodes originally used Youtube annotations, which Youtube stopped displaying in 2019. So they were left without my thoughts and puns for the past several years. But I’ve started to go back and re-add those, as well as add new notes and puns, and re-upload those videos. The first two are done, and more are on the way. Episode 1 – Episode 2
