Rocco’s Arrival

On Saturday, I received Hopper’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Bye, Jeff, Due to circumstances out of my control, I had to move. Yeah, I know. Lame. Now STOP CRYING! Geez! Bye, chump. -Hopper

I then found a note in a bottle on the beach, and it contained a letter from a husband to a wife.

To my beloved wife, I'm not the best at expressing myself, but I appreciate you more than words can say. Thanks. -Your loving husband
Maybe tell her in person instead? She’s never going to read this.

I caught two new fish I needed, a piranha and a giant snakehead. Of course, I quickly donated them both to the museum.

I caught a giant snakehead! ACK! It's got a huge head!
Can I keep the fish, but throw Baabara back?

Later on, at the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Chorale for me.

I played again tonight, and Kiki was sick. I gave her some medicine, so hopefully she’ll get better and not bug me for medicine ever again.

Big Top was talking about Curly and Margie, wondering if they were dating or just friends. I gave a neutral answer when he asked me about it, and he said that he just likes talking about other people.

Big Top: I just love talking about other people! It's almost as fun as eating!

Crazy Redd was in town, trying to sell me a calm painting. I kept calm and walked right out of his tent.

Blathers seemed smitten with an “elegant lady” from the big city that recently visited the museum. Even though he said otherwise, it was clear by the way he kept going on and on about her.

Blathers: I assure you, I am NOT smitten with this lovely, bewitching older woman!

There was a new house in town, and I found Rocco the hippo inside. I’m not exactly shouting hip-hip-hooray over his arrival.

Rocco: Oh, hey, we haven't met yet, have we? My name is Rocco.

Hopper Hops Away

On Saturday night, I listened in on a conversation between Baabara and Margie. Well, it was pretty one-sided, actually. Baabara was telling Margie how boring she is. She even made Margie cry! It’s one thing to be rude to me, but to be rude to innocent Margie?

Baabara: Whenever I talk to you, Margie, I get really bored, shear me.

Down in the Roost, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Ska for me.

I played again tonight, and Big Top told me he was obsessed with football lately. But then he admitted he just wanted us to like the same things, so things wouldn’t be awkward when we’re together.

Big Top: I just want us to like the same things. Then we won't have many weird silences.

Crazy Redd had another painting I didn’t need again this week: the moving painting.

When I visited Hopper, he told me that he was leaving Forest. Since I already have his picture, and I already have a rude villager (Baabara) if I need to be insulted, I decided to let him go. Baabara alone produces more then enough negativity for the whole town. 😛

Hopper: Hey, J-rock. I wasn't gonna tell anyone, but... I'm leaving Forest.
k bye

The latest “Message of the Week” on the bulletin board says that midnight eating is bad…but it feels so good.

*Message of the Week* Eating at midnight is bad. But if feels so good!

I visited Baabara in her house tonight, and she was telling me about the type of clothes she likes to buy…wool! How fitting! Although…doesn’t she have enough of her own? Why the need to buy more?

Baabara: Wool, of course! It's fluffy and warm, but also light. It is the ultimate in comfort!
Ewe would say that.

Curly asked me for a new catchphrase, and I cooked up something meaty from the past. I gave him a catchphrase I also gave him in ACCF back in 2011…baconballs!

Curly: Hey you! Baconballs! ...Oh yeah! Nice! NICE!

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my game for the night. Have a good day, night, and week! See you next time.

Spice in My Stew

Crazy Redd was in town today, and I used the password “be charged” to get inside his tent. He had a nice painting for sale, but I didn’t need it. The last couple of paintings always seem to take forever in Animal Crossing games.

Kiki has been asking me for some black furniture lately, and today I saw a modern bed for sale at Nookington’s. I bought it for Kiki, even though it cost me 2,320 bells. She was happy to have it, and she said she owes me dinner. She also gave me an ivy wall.

Kiki: Oh, J-rock, thank you so much! I owe you dinner or something!

Big Top’s house was empty again, as he was planning on moving away. But once again, I got him to reconsider.

Big Top: Wow, I wasn't expecting that response... Maybe I'll think it over once more.

Curly asked me if I like Pelly or Phyllis more. I responded by saying Pelly. Curly said Pelly looks nice, but he likes more spice in his stew.

Curly: Personally, I like a little more spice in my stew, bigfoot!
And I like you in my stew.

After I finished making my rounds, I cleaned up my pitfall seeds by the gate and put them in storage. I then checked my town status at town hall. Pelly said it wasn’t passing, but not failing either.

Pelly: Like, more than milk, but not quite a milk shake, now what I mean?!

She then got a bit more specific, saying if we added some green, it would help. I’m really not looking forward to having to plant tons of flowers and water them every day, to be honest. So I’m still not tackling this issue just yet.

Note: I didn’t play last Saturday, so I didn’t get any new K.K. songs since last time. I’m not sure if I’ll play this Saturday either, but maybe.
