Saturday was La-Di-Day, and my newest neighbor Jeremiah croaked out a new song for me. I chose it as my new town tune.

Today, Crazy Redd was in town. He had a quaint painting for sale, but I didn’t need that one.

I did some bug-hunting and fishing, but more fishing. It was raining, so many of the normal bugs weren’t out. I made a number of valuable catches: Two atlas beetles (8,000 bells each), a barred knifejaw (5,000 bells), two red snappers (3,000 bells each), and a hammerhead shark (8,000 bells).

But my best catch of all was something that I had no intentions of selling: I caught my very first gar! Of course, I donated it to the museum. Just four more fish (and four bugs) to go!

Baabara asked me to buy her Spanish shirt for 420 bells. I agreed to buy it, and as she handed it over, she told me she thought it was tacky.

It wasn’t the shirt I was thinking it was, so I didn’t keep it on. Oh well, at least it didn’t cost me much.

After selling my catches, I had enough money to make a 300,000 bell donation to Boondox. Phyllis thanked me for my generous donation, and she told me they can now afford rouge to highlight their cheekbones. I guess they can’t thank me face-to-face.

Even though Crazy Redd didn’t cooperate, it was still a pretty successful night.

I’ve just posted a new Animal Crossing video featuring my favorite villagers for each letter of the alphabet. Only two of the clips are from Wild World, but I think any Animal Crossing fan can relate to this. I hope you enjoy it!

Last Wednesday, Kiki asked me to make a delivery to Rosie within ten minutes. Rosie wasn’t home, so I searched all over town (in the rain) trying to find her.

I was briefly distracted by a UFO; really! It was just my 2nd time seeing a UFO in Wild World, and the first time since my first week with the game. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to shoot it down in time. It was already across the river by the time I got my slingshot out.

I resumed my search for Rosie, but I wasn’t finding her anywhere! I even looked in the Roost, just in case she could be hanging out in there (like villagers can in City Folk), but she wasn’t there. So I went back outside, and then I ran into Rosie. It had been 11 minutes, and she wouldn’t even accept the gift from Kiki! She just told me to go find Kiki, who was very mad at me.

I returned to Kiki, and she said it was “way past” the delivery time.

She said she’ll have to make the delivery herself, and she took the package back. Wow. So I did all that for nothing, and I was actually trying to complete the task, too. Kiki was disappointed in me…and I was disappointed in her too.

I took my frustration out on Rocco. I had to get him back for his rude comments last time.

On Saturday, I went fishing and bug-catching in the afternoon. I caught my first ocean sunfish! This thing is huge!

I also snagged my first longhorn beetle and jewel beetle! I donated all of my new catches to the museum. Now I just need five more fish and four more bugs.

Among other fish, I had a sweetfish in my pockets when I ran into Rocco. He offered me a blue tie-dye shirt for it, and I agreed to the trade. I didn’t put the shirt on, but I did something even better. I dragged it down to the corner to use it as my inventory background. It reminds me of ocean waves; perfect for summer!

Today, Mom sent me a letter talking about a fruit-only diet. There was a pear attached to the letter, and it was my first one. I planted it near Nookington’s.

Crazy Redd was in town, trying to sell me a solemn painting. I didn’t need that one. I solemnly swear Redd is up to no good.

When I spoke with Kiki, she told me that Jeremiah should make the first move on Margie. Of course, I didn’t even realize that Jeremiah lived here yet! I went to visit the new frog, but how does Kiki know all the gossip when he literally just moved in today?

I like Jeremiah, so I’m happy to have him around. Welcome to Forest, froggie.

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

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.

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.

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).

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!
