I received Joey’s goodbye letter in the mail tonight. He said he’ll send me a sandwich from his new town! Sounds good! Or at least, it would sound good if he wasn’t lying to me. 🙁
When I visited Curly, he was telling me that he sweats a lot. Odd, because pigs don’t actually sweat that much. That’s why they need to roll in mud to cool off. But basically, he was just asking me for a new shirt to soak up all his sweat. What a lovely image. 😛
Over by town hall, my new tree has produced some fruit!
I shook off the new apples and planted three new apple trees.
Baabara asked me to deliver a letter to Puddles, and I agreed to help out. Even though I didn’t peek at the letter, Puddles showed it to me anyway. Apparently, Baabara’s been shaking it (her butt) to soul (music). 😀
I returned to Baabara to tell her I made the delivery (and to laugh at her), and she rewarded me with a space station. Odd, because Kiki just gave me a space station on Tuesday! Why do all my villagers think I need space stations? Are they trying to say I think the world revolves around me? I’m so offended that I might just moon Baabara! 😛
Anyway, I then rolled up two snowballs and built my first snowman of the season. Unfortunately, he wasn’t perfect. Maybe I should have made the head a bit smaller?
At the museum, Blathers was talking about his fear of bugs again. He said he’s going to talk to his sister Celeste about it. This sounds familiar, so I’m wondering if this is repeated dialogue I’ve seen before, or if it’s something new. I’m not 100% sure.
After he identified three fossils for me, I went downstairs to hear some music. K.K. played K.K. Etude for me. The one time I actually wanted to hear something upbeat, he played me a sad song. 😛
It was nearly 11:00 after the show ended, so I ran over to Nookington’s and sold my three fossils. Right after I exited the shop, the clock struck eleven and the store closed. Whew, close call. I then went over to town hall to make a 25,000 bell mortgage payment before ending my game for the night.
Nookington’s had a big festive tree for sale, so I also bought it.
I then returned home to put my two new items in my house.
Winter has arrived, so snow now covers the ground and trees. This makes it easier to find fossils and other buried items. The dark star-shaped dig marks stand out against the white snow, so I had no problem finding all three fossils today.
When I ran into Big Top, he asked me what was up with Hopper and Rhonda. The two options were “they’re friends” and “lotsa smooching.” I jokingly picked the latter option, and Big Top was grossed out by the thought. He even said it makes him want to barf. Strong words!
In Joey’s house, I found that the orange duck is moving out of town. I tried just once to get him to change his mind, but that wasn’t enough. I didn’t want to keep trying, so I just let him go.
The apple tree I planted last time is alive and growing, but it hasn’t yielded any apples yet. That should change by next time.
Baabara was out and about, and being as weird as ever. She told me today was her anniversary with fried catfish.
That’s a nice letter, but the most interesting part was the gift that was included…an apple! Forest is an orange town, so that means that this is my first foreign fruit! If you’ve only played New Leaf, you probably don’t understand how this is a big deal.
I cut down an orange tree near town hall and buried the apple in that spot. I should have an apple tree by next week.
But clueless Curly said it was a heart-warming letter! If you say so, bacon brains.
At the Roost, K.K. Slider performed Café K.K. for me.
After shaking a few trees for money bags (and a picnic table), I went to town hall and made a 10,000 bell mortgage payment. Hopefully this will be the last time I only have 10,000 bells to pay.
