As expected, I got Pate’s goodbye letter in the mail today. So long, duck.

I visited Bill, and he told me he skinned his elbow today and can’t stop picking at the scab.

Anyway, he asked me to make a delivery to Baabara within 10 minutes. I declined.

There was a coconut washed up on the beach tonight, so I planted it. If the sapling survives, I’ll soon have my first coconut tree.

When I bumped into Baabara, she started bragging about how great her house scores with the Happy Room Academy. She also mentioned that elegance just comes naturally to her. Oh please.

In Able Sisters, Sable told me that she’s still single! Is she coming onto me? 😛

Actually, she was just explaining that the couple in the photo behind her was her parents. Sable has really become quite chatty lately. She goes on and on and on!

In front of town hall, I spotted Gracie…and her car!

You don’t wash her car like you do on GameCube, so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But when I spoke to her, she complimented my style, and then talked about a fashionista badge. Apparently, I have to successfully pass her fashion quiz to earn it.

After answering her five questions, I started to get the impression that I didn’t do very well.

She handed me a letter, and I opened it up.

There was also an item attached to the letter…

Wow. Gracie has never been very polite, but she’s particularly savage in Wild World. When I spoke with her again, she recognized my sadness and said she had something for me. But then I was taken to a screen where I had to make her an offer? For what? I entered 100 bells, and she was not happy with that offer. She said I had no respect for her art, and she did this to me:

She put a go-go shirt and post-op patch on me. I don’t even understand what this is all about. At this point, I was done with her. Buh-bye.

Inside of town hall, I made a 25,000 bell payment on my mortgage. And back outside, Kiki stopped me and offered to buy my moldy shirt for 10 bells. Sure, why not?

I then returned home and ended my game for the night. See you next time!

As I started up the game tonight, a message informed me that today was La-Di-Day! This event wasn’t in the other Animal Crossing games, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.

But before I went to investigate, I took a look at my newly upgraded house. An upstairs window has been added, which is visible from outside.

On the inside, my main room is now 8×8 instead of 6×6. But I’m not really using much of my space yet.

I headed over to town hall, expecting to find Tortimer there to tell me what La-Di-Day was all about. But he wasn’t there, and they didn’t say anything about it inside of town hall either. But my buddy Static clued me in. He told me that the best song will become the town tune.

You have to talk to the animals a second or third time before they’ll sing their song for you. Once they do, you have the option of “hiring them,” which means you’ll adopt their song as the new town tune. Despite the odd description Static gave me of his song, I actually enjoyed how it sounded and I made it the town tune. For the moment, at least.

But La-Di-Day wasn’t the only music event going on. Since it’s Saturday night, K.K. Slider was also at the Roost to perform some live music. I let him pick out a random song for me, and he played Two Days Ago. It’s one of my favorites.

When I visited Pate, I found her all packed up in boxes. Even though she’s not one of my enemies in town, I decided to let her go. So long, ducky.

When I came back around to Nook ‘n’ Go, I saw a curious sight: Static was walking with a net out, followed by Yuka with a net out, followed by Baabara with a net out! Is today also a net parade day?

After saying no to Biskit’s song, I went to visit Chevre. To my surprise, her song was the Super Mario theme! What made it all the more interesting was that she was using Alfonso’s old catchphrase, “it’sa me.”

I said no to that song too. But I visited Kiki the black cat next, and I kind of liked her song. I’m not sure if it was better than Static’s, but it was hard to say no to Kiki. You’re hired!

I also listened to Bill’s song on my way home, but I stuck with Kiki’s tune for now. Overall, my first La-Di-Day was a bit anticlimactic. The event definitely isn’t a huge deal or anything, but it is a nice way to occasionally change up your town tune.

Once home, I put Two Days Ago in my stereo and then went up to bed. I’ll see you all next time!

Here’s a video showing many of today’s events:

I made it into Nook ‘n’ Go just before it closed for the night, and Tom Nook thanked me for paying off my loan. He told me my house would be expanded by tomorrow.

While was I was there, I bought some medicine just in case Static still needed it. But when I visited him, I saw that he was feeling better now. He was talking about Kiki and Chevre’s relationship, wondering if they were self-absorbed.

I had a chat with Yuka outside, and she had a flea on her again! She was talking about pretty bugs for some reason, saying that their beauty keeps predators from attacking them. She then said that she always knew being pretty was the best weapon. As if she could know that.

Since I was close to the gate, I stopped in to check the lost-and-found. Booker had a pitfall seed, so I took it…for a good cause. 😉

When I ran into Bill, he asked me for a new catchphrase. I told him to say “hunt me.” Anyone up for some Duck Hunt? 😉

I did some fishing, and two of my catches were fish that I still needed for the museum: a dace and this football fish.

When I went to the museum to donate them, Blathers had an interesting (if not disturbing) story about the football fish. He said that males of the species can get attached to females, and then absorbed into them.

Yikes. He then said he was glad he was born an owl. Wait, weren’t you hatched, not born?

Bill wasn’t the only animal asking for a new catchphrase tonight; Yuka asked for one too! I told her to say “I’m evil.”

I then returned home, put K.K. Ballad (from last Saturday) into my music player, and headed for bed. See you all next time!
