Lazy Sable?

On Thursday, Frobert said Sable was being lazy lately!

Frobert: That prickly little Sable... She's being SO lazy lately, fribbit!

He said that someone should tell her that it’s a dog-eat-dog world. He’s being kinda rude.

Frobert: Y'know what, hon?! Somebody better tell her it's a dog-eat-dog world!

I wondered if this was an indication that Sable had some special dialogue. So I went in to see her, and she did sigh. But when I asked her what was wrong, she just said she was spacing out a little bit and didn’t elaborate. So I spoke with Mabel, and she said her sister was being a space cadet lately…and she wondered if was due to a cold that Sable always gets at this time of year.

Mabel: Are there colds that hit people at the exact same time of year, every year?

When I visited Robin, she told me that it was her anniversary with salmon burgers. Or at least, the anniversary of the day her first admirer asked her to join him for some salmon burgers.

Robin: Hey, hon, today is my anniversary with salmon burgers!
It was love at first bite.

Yesterday, Truffles told me that Whitney and Marina get along so well, they should pair up to sing a hot duet and release an album! Then Truffles suggested that they should add her to the group and make it a trio. I don’t think any of that is going to happen, Truffles.

Truffles: They'd sell seven more if they signed me to join the group and made it a trio!

Tonight, Pippy was out looking for a dung beetle, but she said she couldn’t find any. When I told her I’ve seen them around, she concluded that maybe cute girls just can’t see dung beetles. If you say so, Pippy.

Pippy: You think maybe cute girls aren't able to see a dung beetle?

I went to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show, and he performed “Agent K.K.” for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Agent K.K.!

I recently posted my latest Wild World video episode, #84. I hope you’ll check it out.

You may remember that I said I was going to re-upload the first seven episodes of my Wild World series to re-add the annotations that were lost. I have now completed that, and the playlist now includes those instead of the old versions. Just in case any of you plan on watching the series from the start. You can find the full playlist here.

See you all next time!

Flower Prison

On Wednesday, Truffles was telling me that overwatering flowers can kill them. That may be true in real life, but that doesn’t apply in Animal Crossing. But she still thought it was true, and she called herself a flower murderer and said she’ll be put in flower prison! 😆

Truffles: Don't you understand?! I'm a flower MURDERER! They'll put me in flower PRISON!

She said she’s too young and cute to be put into flower prison.

Truffles: But I'm too young and cute to get thrown in flower prison...

They should probably call it the pig pen-itentiary, though. 😉

Yesterday, I received an odd letter from Mom in the mail. She said that the radio station read her letter on the air, but Mom claimed to have no legs to make her story more interesting. Umm, congrats?

Dear Jeff, They read my letter on the radio! I said we had no legs to make our story more interesting. Be sure to tape it! -Mom

Truffles asked me how she was doing, and I was asked to respond with a slider with options of “way better!” and “Not so hot.” I moved it close to “not so hot,” and she thought that meant she was too ordinary. She disagreed, saying she is better than most celebrities. Interestingly enough, the celebrity Gracie was right behind us at the time. 😛

Truffles: I think I'm better than most celebrities, snoutie!

Filbert has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. He’s still sneezing, but I hope he’ll start feeling better soon.

Filbert: Ah-ah-ah... KERSCHNOFF-a-blatts!

When I checked the recycle bin at town hall today, I found a bubble gum shirt there. I guess when you’re looking through the trash, beggars can’t be chews-ers. 😛

Finding a bubble gum shirt in the recycle bin.

I guess the previous owner didn’t want to stick with it.

New Year’s Fortune

Yesterday was New Year’s Day, and I received many New Year’s greetings in the mail.

Happy New Year, Jeff! I guess I should say Happy New Year or something. So, um, Happy New Year. Or something. Write me. -Curt

Mom even sent me 10,000 bells with her letter. Also in the mail, I received my latest bank statement from the postal division at town hall. I earned 91,650 bells in interest for the month.

My villagers also wished me a Happy New Year in person, and Pippy was relieved that the “awful Y2K thing” didn’t happen. Wow, you’re a bit late on that one. This is one bit of dialogue that’s really dated.

Pippy: I'm so glad that that awful Y2K thing didn't just happen!

Over in front of Nookington’s, I noticed some flowers, including a new purple tulip! Just a happy accident, I guess.

Some tulips near Nookington's, including a hybrid purple tulip!

And in front of town hall, I found Tortimer standing outside. He gave me my fortune for the new year!

Tortimer: Happy New Year, Jeff! I prepared a New Year's fortune for you!

Apparently, he thinks I’m going to have a lucky year. And…possibly foolish? 😛

Your fortune: Lucky. Dreams: Maybe. Love: Don't dawdle. Health: You're healthy. Luck favors the foolish.

Frobert seemed to be under the impression that I’m supposed to give him a gift for the New Year! Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way, fribbit.

Frobert: Yo, gorgeous! Hurry up and give me a dang New Year's gift!

Filbert has been sick with a cold, so I gave him some medicine yesterday and today.

Today, Whitney and Frobert must’ve had an argument of some sort. Even though I didn’t see them talking together, both of them were in bad moods in the same part of town.

Whitney: Awww... Why, oh, why do I have to be the star of this tragedy...

Whitney seemed depressed, while Frobert was downright angry.

Frobert: I'm so angry, my muscles are gonna pop off my dang body, fribbit!

At town hall, I found a claw-foot tub in the recycle bin. I snatched it up and then made a clean getaway.

Happy New Year, everyone! I’ll be back with another entry next week!
