Crabs Shaking Hands

On Thursday night, Peanut said that her legs felt like lead, and she asked me to give her a piggyback ride back to her house!

Peanut: Hey, c'mon, sunshine! Gimme a piggyback ride back to my house!

But then she told me to never mind because I didn’t look burly enough? That’s kinda rude.

Yesterday, I found Pascal on the beach…the same day I also found him in my City Folk town! But while he was talking about lobsters in ACCF, he was talking about crabs here in Wild World.

Pascal: Crabs are totally misunderstood. They're just trying to shake hands, man.

He then gave me a ship compass before doing a backflip into the sea.

Bones was still sick with a cold, so I gave him some more medicine Thursday, yesterday, and then again today. Get well soon, buddy!

Bones: HACKity! HWEEZE HWEEZE! Thanks... HWEEZE! Now let me choke this stuff down.
Hweeze?

I headed down to The Roost tonight to check out the Saturday night show. Unfortunately, Mr. Slider performed the worst K.K. song: K.K. Song.

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

After the show, I took some money over to town hall and deposited it into my account. My balance has reached six million bells.

Phyllis: Your balance is 50 billion bells! Just kidding! It's actually 6,000,000.

Mitzi’s House

On Wednesday, I got to see the inside of Mitzi’s house for the first time since she unpacked. She has an odd mixture of cabana and blue furniture.

Eloise was finally over her cold, and she thanked me for all the medicine by giving me a stone tile.

La-Di-Day was today, and my villagers were all talking about singing songs for me. But since I didn’t talk to any of them repeatedly, I didn’t actually hear any of them sing. 😛 However, I was okay with that. I already changed my tune on the last La-Di-Day two months ago, and I wanted to keep it a while longer anyway.

Bob: You get a chance to hear my fancy vocal stylings today!

Apparently, Eloise passed off her cold to Bones, so I don’t get much of a break from delivering medicine. 😛 I gave a dose to Bones when he started to think he could taste clouds.

Bones: I CAN TASTE THE CLOUDS! DELICIOUS, FLUFFY CLOUDS!
Have you been licking your wallpaper?

Wolfgang was packed up to move out of town, but I talked him out of it. I’m not quite ready to let him leave just yet.

Down at the Roost tonight, K.K. Slider performed Café K.K.; that’s the same song he played four weeks ago.

Feeling Exasperated

On Tuesday (November 1st), I bought a jackhammer at Nook’s Cranny, with the intention of giving it to Butch for his birthday. But when I headed over to his house, there was no party. Instead, he was trying to move out of town!

Butch: Hey, sunshine. I wasn't gonna tell anyone, but... I'm leaving Forest.

Of course I talked him out of moving, but he still didn’t have a birthday party. I even tried leaving his house and re-entering. Oof.

Bones asked me for a fossil, so I gave him some fossilized dino droppings that I dug up.

Bones: Woo-hoo! That's the dino droppings I wanted! Nutty.
They taste nutty? You weren’t supposed to lick them!

He was happy to have them, and he rewarded me with a slate flooring.

On Wednesday, I had a chat with Mitzi outside of town hall. She was talking about how nice the office is, and she credited it to Phyllis and Pelly’s hard work. She said Pete was just a slacker.

Mitzi: Pete is... Well, he's kind of a slacker, mew.

Yesterday, Wendell was in town, and I gave him an apple to eat. Somehow, that apple completely filled him up. I find that hard to believe, but okay. 😛

Wendell: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So full of happiness! Suh-so round in the belly!

He gave me a block pattern in return, which is really just a brick path pattern.

Eloise has still been sick with a cold, so I gave her more medicine Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then again today. This is dragging on way too long. She needs to get over her cold already.

Dr. Shrunk was in town today, and I asked him for a new emotion (exasperation) to let out a much-needed sigh.

Shrunk: And if that sigh smells like morning breath, it's even more distressing.

However, I was having trouble getting the timing of the tapping right; Wild World has the worst, most tedious reaction-learning technique in the series.

Shrunk: Perhaps this feeling is too painful for you right now. Why don't we try another?
Then stop making it painful and give me the stupid emotion.

But I eventually figured out the timing and learned exasperation. Since my collection was already full with four emotions, I had to lose one. I sacrificed “thought” to learn “exasperation.” I hope it was worth it.

Shrunk: Anyhow, you've now forgotten how to express thought...
Shrunk: ...and learned how to express exasperation! We've made some real progress!

*sigh* See you next time.
