New Enemy

Bud is now gone; I received his goodbye letter in the mail.

Stop cryin', Jeff! I'm hitting the road so I can bulk up my calf muscles. Next time you see me, I'll be RIPPED! Don't cry! -Bud

Crazy Redd had the basic painting up for sale today. But basically, I didn’t need it.

I found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it contained an “unchain” letter. Hey, at least it’s honest.

Unchain Letter. Even if you send this letter to five people, nothing good will happen to you. It's a proven fact!

Rocco asked me what I thought about his clothes (a danger shirt). I picked the middle/neutral option, “meh.” He got upset and started insulting me. He said I had no clue about fashion or aesthetics, he called me a hippie, and then he said I wouldn’t recognize a high-quality stamp if I fell on one. Ouch.

Rocco: Yeah, I figured you had no clue about high fashion, or even basic aesthetics.
You look like an overgrown construction sign.

All of that, and I didn’t even choose the negative response to his question! What a jerk. I guess I have a new enemy in town.

I did a little lot of fishing and bug catching. Some of my better catches included an atlas beetle (8,000 bells), three red snappers (3,000 bells each), and a hammerhead shark (8,000 bells).

I caught a hammerhead shark!

Big Top gave me a free BB shirt, so I accepted it and put it on. I then ended my game for the night shortly after Nook’s shop closed. See you all next time!

Not My Night

It was not my night tonight. I caught some garbage when I was trying to catch a fish, and then I saw Crazy Redd was selling the calm painting for the third time in four weeks! Oh, and I got attacked by a tarantula and passed out. Twice.

I was not in a good mood. So when Bud told me he wanted to move out of town, I wasn’t in the mood to argue. I just let him go.

Bud: And to do it, I've gotta move to another town, no lyin'!

Maybe next week will be better.

All Songs, Yellow Feather

On Saturday, Kiki was feeling better after overcoming her sickness. She thanked me for the medicine I took her, and she rewarded me by giving me a microwave.

When I visited Big Top, he told me he didn’t have any clothes to wear while he was taking a bath. Um, what? Why would you wear clothes while bathing, big guy?

Big Top: Oh! I just realized... I don't have anything to wear when I'm taking a bath!

At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed Lucky K.K. for me. After the show, I tried to put the aircheck in my stereo. But I couldn’t. The game said I already had that song in my pockets.

You already have that music in your pockets!

It should have said I already that song in my music player. But apparently, my song collection is now complete! That was one of my goals, so I may just play once a week now, at least most of the time.

I headed over to town hall, where I had to deal with the always-friendly Phyllis.

Phyllis: What? You're quitting? (What crawled up YOUR bill?)

I took some money out of my savings account and then used it to make a 300,000 bell donation to Boondox. Phyllis said my donation would be used to build a new school in Boondox.

Bud asked me for a new catchphrase, and I told him to say “no lyin’.” I then caught some fish and bugs before wrapping up my Saturday night.

I played again today, and I got a letter from Boondox in the mail. The author said that they just used my donation to buy some brand-new sneakers. Wait, what about the school?!

Dear Jeff, Thanks to your donation, I was able to buy brand-new sneakers! No more walking around barefoot! -From Boondox

On the bright side, they did send me a yellow feather to wear.

Jeff, wearing a yellow feather.

Crazy Redd had a lovely painting for sale, but I didn’t need it.

Kiki asked me for some more black furniture, saying she would love to have a room full of it. So I bought her another modern bed that was on sale at Nookington’s…even though it cost me 2,320 bells. I took it over to Kiki, and she refused it!

Kiki: ...I know you brought me a modern bed, but I have enough for now.

I realize she already had one modern bed, but it was the only black furniture the shop had! Besides, she does have two tiki torches, so why not two beds? How rude.

Big Top asked me what kind of relationship I thought he and Rocco have. I chose the “archenemies” option, and he said I was right!

Big Top: Yep! That's right! I mean, what a bully! I try to avoid that creep.

He was glad I could see what was going on. I didn’t tell him I was just taking a wild guess. But he was so happy, that he gave me a gift: an arched window. Kind of fitting, an arched window for an archenemy.

I did a little fishing in the river, and I caught an angelfish! This was my first one, so I donated it to the museum.

I caught an angelfish! How heavenly!

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be back with more next week. Hope to see you then!
