Gracie was over at town hall today, along with her car. But I didn’t bother speaking to her this time.

A new message of the week on the bulletin board said that exercise relieves stress, but nothing relieves exercise. 😛

When I had a chat with Chevre, she told me she was looking for some fossils.

But when I returned with one, there was no option to give it to her! I even had an identified one and an unidentified one in my pockets! So I don’t know why she couldn’t tell I was trying to fulfill her request. Help me help you…

There was a bonfire for sale in Nookington’s tonight, and it was putting out a lot of smoke. The bonfires in other Animal Crossing games don’t smoke like this, so I was a bit surprised to see all the pollution. This doesn’t seem very healthy for Timmy and Tommy to be working up here.

Outside, Kiki asked me for a new catchphrase. I told her to say “ki ki ki,” which is a reference to another Nintendo character named Kiki. (It’s a monkey from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past).

Kiki also asked me to deliver a letter to Rod for her. I did, and then when I returned to her, Kiki gave me a plaster wall as thanks.

Moe’s replacement has not moved into town yet, so there are still just seven animal villagers.

I made a 20,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall, and then I wrapped up my game for the night.

I got Moe’s goodbye letter in the mail today. It contained a surprising confession: He told me took a tile from the town hall plaza! Wow! You’re lucky I’m not the mayor. 😛

Today was La-Di-Day once again, and Puddles was telling me how it’s so hard being a chart-topping pop star. I think she’s been drinking a little too much swamp water.

Rod sang a tune for me, and it sounded familiar. I think I’ve had it before, in one Animal Crossing game or another. I hired him, so his song became the new town tune.

Outside, Static told me his song was a manly country ballad…unlike me. He didn’t actually sing it for me, but that was fine by me.

La-Di-Day is actually a bit boring now. The novelty has worn off by now, and I’d rather not have the animals all talking about the same thing. This really doesn’t need to be an event that repeats every two months. Once or twice a year would’ve been plenty.

As I was looking for today’s money rock, I saw Baabara fall into a pitfall up near the museum. That’s always a nice sight to behold. 😀

Down in the Roost, I checked out a live musical performance of King K.K.

I only found one fossil today, which has been the norm for me lately. The others must be well hidden behind something, or right along the grass/dirt lines where they often blend in.

I then wrapped up my night in Forest. Enjoy your La-Di-Day!

I found Moe with his furniture all packed up in boxes today. He’s getting ready to move out of town, and I didn’t try to stop him. He’s a nice guy, but those eyes…

The bulletin board’s message of the week was a short one. It just said “Postcards aren’t cards. Weird.” I’m not sure I agree. They are cards, but maybe it means they aren’t greeting cards? Not sure.

When I visited Puddles, she told me she was eating a veggie chili dog and spilled mustard all over her dress! She asked me to get her some new clothes to wear.

So I went to Nookington’s to find some clothes for her. And once I got upstairs, I remembered that Nookington’s doesn’t sell clothes in Wild World. 😀 So I went back down and over to Able Sisters next door. 😛 I bought a nurse’s uniform, and then took it over to Puddles.

She changed into it, and then she thanked me by giving me some yellow glasses. She also hinted that she might ask me for something later too.

Many new bugs are out and about now that March is here, and I caught a bunch of them today. That included the common butterfly, yellow butterfly, tiger butterfly, and honeybee.

I also did a little fishing, but I didn’t catch any new fish. I did catch a tin can, however. 😛 I put it outside of my house and later caught a fly that was drawn to the garbage. And if that wasn’t enough, I also caught a cockroach that was on a tree!

The fly and cockroach aren’t new for springtime, but I guess I was just on a roll when it came to catching bugs today. I took my six new catches and donated them to the museum.

Of course Blathers never reacts well to insect donations, as he really hates bugs. But my favorite part was what he said about the honeybee. He said the bee’s stinger is connected to its internal organs, so when it uses its stinger, the organs get pulled out too.

He then apologized for being so graphic. It hurts you more than it hurt me, Blathers.

Back outside, Kiki showed me a strange letter she got from a “concerned neighbor.”

Before wrapping up my day in Forest, I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment at town hall. See you all next time, and good luck with your bug hunting. 🙂
