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.

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…

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.
