It was snowing as I started up my game tonight. According to Kiki, it had been snowing all day.

In the mail, I got a letter from the snowman I built last time. He sent me a snowman dresser; I’ll show a picture of it later on in this entry.

At Nookway, I saw that Tom Nook had a festive tree (Christmas tree) on sale for 1,300 bells. I bought it for my house. Even though Wild World doesn’t have most of the real holidays that the other Animal Crossing games have, at least it has some holiday related items like this.

In the museum, Blathers had some different dialogue today. He kept rambling about how he’s afraid of bugs, and how he thinks butterflies’ bellies are waiting to spew something at him.

I went down to the Roost to catch some live music, and K.K. performed a familiar song for me: DJ K.K.

By the time I got to Pudge’s house, I found him shivering and sick. Unfortunately, the shop had just closed a few minutes before, so I was unable to buy any medicine for him.

I found the snowman I built last time, and he seems to have lost some weight. And height. He’s a tiny little guy now!

I rolled up today’s snowballs and built another snowman not far from my old one. And unlike my first one, this one said he’s perfect!

Of course the first one still sent me a gift, so maybe he was perfect too (but just didn’t explicitly state that fact). Regardless, I know for sure this one will be sending me a gift in the mail.

I found three fossils once again today, but the museum only needed one of them. I made another 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall before returning home. Inside, I put my new song in the stereo and displayed my snowman dresser and festive tree.

I know my house is still disorganized and has a random assortment of items. Eventually, I’ll probably come up with some ideas for it. But I’m still early in the game (relatively speaking), so it’ll take some time to build up a decent sized catalog of items.

Have a good weekend everyone, and I’ll see you next time!

Winter has arrived now, with snow covering the trees and ground. Except for the many dirt spots all over town, of course. Snowballs (for making snowmen) have also started appearing.

I saw Chevre walking around, so I was a bit relieved to see that she didn’t move out. She didn’t have anything interesting to say tonight, though.

I made sure to check the bulletin board for the new message of the week, and it did not disappoint.

I ran into Pudge outside of the museum, and he asked if I wanted to buy his plaster wall for 1,180 bells. After I told him that was too much, he gave it to me for free. I was grateful, but only for a moment. Until he called me scary, that is. What do you mean by that?!

Puddles was also nearby, and she wasn’t being any nicer than Pudge. She was making fun of me for being poor, and she joked that I would be her best friend if she gave me one bell.

I tried making a snowman, but I wasn’t having much success. Twice, I (apparently) crashed or otherwise destroyed snowballs behind trees. But I eventually found two of them fairly close together, and I was able to make a snowman. But, it was facing the back of Baabara’s house. Hopefully there’s not a window back there.

I found three fossils on my walk around town tonight. I think the snow makes buried items easier to see. Two of the fossils were donated to the museum, while the other one was returned to me.

I then made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall before ending my game for the night. See you again on Saturday!

I had a chat with Kiki tonight, and she told me about something that Puddles did recently. Apparently, Puddles threw a temper tantrum on the beach.

A message posted on the bulletin board warned of the coming snowstorms. Winter weather is just hours away!

While I was at the bulletin board, I decided to glance at the some of the other posts on there. And I’m glad I did. Many of these posts are entertaining, and even funny. Here’s a poem about eating:

And this message seems to have been written by whoever buries all these pitfall seeds around town. Phyllis, is that you?

These “messages of the week” and other posts are one thing that Wild World does better than any other Animal Crossing games. There may not be a bird that tells you when a new message has been posted like in City Folk and New Leaf, and there may not be clues to buried NES games and other gifts like on GameCube. But for sheer entertainment value, you can’t beat random messages like this.

I’ll have to remember to check the bulletin board more often.

Yuka told me she wanted to have a competition to see who could catch a dung beetle first. She’s probably going to win, because the beetles will probably flock to all her dung.

Since it’s Saturday night, I headed over to the Roost for some free music. The song this time was K.K. Marathon. It doesn’t have a lot of vocals, and the song was slow and repetitive. It may as well have been a lullaby, because it was literally putting me to sleep!

When I visited Chevre, I saw that she was all packed up in boxes! She said there was a family crisis of some sort.

I kept talking to her repeatedly, telling her not to leave. And eventually, she agreed to stay. Kind of. I guess we’ll see.

I found two more fossils tonight, and I donated both of them to the museum. The store was already closed, so I couldn’t sell anything. I’ll have to do that (and make a mortgage payment) next time. See you then!
