I dug up the shovel I buried last night, and indeed, it has turned into gold! A golden shovel, at least. Thanks to zeldaknowitall on Youtube for reminding me about this.

I got a letter about the fishing tourney yesterday, congratulating me on my gallant efforts…even though I lost.

Interestingly, the letter itself didn’t say who it was from. But the envelope said “From the Mayor.” So I guess I won Tortimer’s heart. Lucky me.

I spoke with Yuka, and she’s still asking me for chic furniture! She first asked me on October 15th, which was 9 days ago! I thought she would give up after a week, but that’s not the case. Hahaha, I don’t care how long it takes, I’m not going to help her. 😀

I ran into Bill outside of town hall tonight, so he did not move away after all. But it didn’t long for me to wish I would have let him go. First, he basically asked me if I was getting fat.

He accused me of blowing off his training regimen, to which I said “No I didn’t.” Then, he flat out called me a LIAR.

He then said if I had been doing 100 ab-slaps a day, my stomach wouldn’t be so bulgy. Not only that, but he walked away steaming mad at me! Wow, the rudeness is off the charts.

He just made himself a new enemy. Baabara and Yuka can wait. Bill was practically begging for my pitfall seed. So I planted it and showed him the way. Six feet closer to where he can go.

I wanted him to suffer as long as possible, so I didn’t talk to him right away. I let him struggle for a few moments. But then he flipped out of the pitfall on his own. As soon as he did, I ran over and talked to him. But surprisingly, he wasn’t mad!

It’s an understatement to say I was disappointed. He deserves to suffer more than this. This isn’t over, duckboy!

I visited Static, and he was sick with a cold. Unfortunately, Nook’s shop was already closed, so I couldn’t buy him any medicine. I’ll have to get him some next time.

At town hall, I made a 25,000 bell mortgage payment. I still owe Tom Nook 75,000 bells, though. I then headed up to the museum to donate a ptera body fossil and a cricket.

Pate asked me for a good name for her pet fish, and I chose Swimmy.

But for some reason, she hated my suggestion and called it lame-o! Then don’t ask my opinion next time! What’s with all the ducking rudeness today?

I then made a delivery, taking a night sky tee from Chevre to Baabara. Chevre rewarded me with 510 bells for helping her out. After that, I headed home and ended my game for the night. Maybe everyone will be in a better mood next time.

The fishing tourney was held today, so I made sure to play before the tournament ended at 6:00. Tortimer was outside of town hall, and told me the rules. Whoever catches the biggest fish wins. The surprising part for me was that Tortimer–not Chip–was the judge! Chip hosts the event in all other Animal Crossing games.

So I began fishing. Once I caught a sea bass, I took it up to Tortimer. It was 45.8 inches long. But that wasn’t good enough; Alfonso had caught a 59.9 inch coelacanth! Wait, it’s not even raining. How could he catch a coelacanth? Wow, this fishing tourney is rigged!

I did catch and donate some new types of fish today, including a black bass, a cherry salmon, and an octopus. With each fish, Blathers discusses his favorite ways to cook it.

I caught several more sea bass, but none of them came close to Alfonso’s 59.9 inch coelacanth. So I ended up losing the fishing tourney, and Tortimer instantly disappeared from outside of town hall once 6:00 rolled by.

Chevre was outside, trying to get me to buy her exquisite rug for 2,700 bells. I wasn’t interested, but the odd thing was the choices I had: “I’ll take it” or “That’s cool.” Since when does “that’s cool” mean no?

Since I was playing earlier than usual, I spotted some bugs I haven’t caught yet. So I nabbed a migratory locust, long locust, and red dragonfly, and donated them to the museum.

When I visited Baabara, she asked me what kind of makeup boys like (on girls). I told her clown makeup, but she said she’s afraid of clowns. I should introduce her to Pietro. 😉

In Able Sisters, I had a chat with Sable, and she felt bad that she never has time to make me any coffee. She would like to sit and chat with me, if she could.

I checked the lost-and-found today, and Booker finally had a pitfall seed for me! But since Yuka and Baabara were both indoors, I decided to save it for another day. 🙂

Bill was also indoors today, but for a different reason. He’s packing up and ready to move out of town! I told him not to go, and then he said he lost his passport. Does that mean he can’t move out now? I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.

Tom Nook had a shovel for sale, and I bought it (even though I already own one). I buried it near my house, so I should end up with a golden shovel tomorrow!

Here is a video that shows events from the past few days:

Yesterday, I only played for about 10 minutes. But I made sure to check the store, and I’m glad I did. Tom Nook finally had a net for sale, and of course I bought it.

When I visited Yuka, she told me it’s not easy being pretty. As if she would know. But thanks for the laugh, you horrible blue creature.

And when I visited Chevre, I was surprised to find all of her furniture packed up in boxes! She decided to move out of town! But unlike other Animal Crossing games, this isn’t necessarily a final decision. I talked to her repeatedly, telling her to stay each time. Eventually, she said she would think about it, although she wouldn’t commit for sure.

I ended my game for the night shortly after that. But I played again today, and I found a letter in my mailbox. Was this a goodbye letter from Chevre? Nope! It was a letter from Mom, talking about how the weather is getting cold. She said she slipped on some wet leaves! She sent me an acorn along with the letter. I may hold onto this.

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I decided to buy this outdoor bath. I like how it looks, and maybe it will attract some frogs. (Just kidding about the frogs.) 😛 But it was one of the first items in my house back in City Folk, so there’s a wii bit of nostalgia involved.

I’ve been trying to remember to speak to Sable in Able Sisters each day, and today, she finally remembered me. Progress.

I met up with Chevre outdoors…so apparently I saved her from moving. Good to know. She asked me to deliver a letter to Static (yes, a letter, not a package), and I agreed to help her out. I took it to Static, and then returned to tell her the deed was done. She gave me an ivy wall as my reward.

Crazy Redd was in town, and I knew his password since he sent it to me in the mail yesterday. Actually, Chevre told me the password anyway. But I went inside and bought this strange painting.

I quickly ran it up to the museum and donated it. It was real! This is the first piece of art in my museum! 😀

I didn’t see any bugs out, but I wanted to test out my net. So I tried shaking some trees, until I found some bees. Unfortunately, they were on me before I could get my net out! You can’t use the control pad to quickly pull out your net (or other tool) in Wild World like you can in City Folk and New Leaf. So I may have some major trouble catching a bee in this game.

Yuka wasted no time in making fun of my face. She said I shouldn’t use any medicine because my face is a work of art now.

But as we talked, I noticed she had a flea on her! So I got my net out and picked it off her. How funny, my first bug is a flea that was on Yuka!

But I also used my net in another way: I used it to hit Yuka a few times…only until she got mad, though. 😉 Anyway, I donated the flea to the museum, so I donated both my first piece of art and my first bug today.

I went in to check on Baabara, and her response to my face was even ruder than Yuka’s. She said my face earns the doofus of Forest award. Wow.

I know villagers’ rudeness has been toned down in later Animal Crossing games, but they’re still pretty harsh in Wild World.

I decided to get some rest and end my night in Forest. But first, I put my ivy wall and outdoor bath up in my house. I know it’s still an odd mixture of items…but it’s home. See you next time.
