Million for the Bank

Nookington’s had a deluxe washer for sale as a spotlight product yesterday. I bought it for my catalog.

Tommy: You have a keen eye! That's our spotlight product...the deluxe washer!

Goldie asked me for a fossil, so I gave her a pachy skull that I dug up. She loved it, and she gave me 510 bells as a reward. I know I could’ve earned much more by selling it, but Goldie is worth it. 🙂

Speaking of Goldie, the cold she had recently has moved on to Rolf. So I gave the white tiger some medicine yesterday, and then again today.

Rolf: Oh! I'm feelin' pretty dang good all of a sudden! Thanks, sunshine!

Today, Samson was all packed up and ready to move out of town! He’s only been in town about two weeks! That’s too soon to let just about anyone go, so I got him to reconsider.

Samson: My brain's all bamboozled... Maybe I should rethink the whole thing, pipsqueak!

I shot down a whopping four balloon presents today. They contained a tiki torch, an alarm clock, a regal vanity, and a garbage pail. I think I must be getting close to earning the golden slingshot by now. Even though I haven’t mentioned it, that’s been one of my goals (along with the golden axe trading sequence) that has contributed to my frequent play sessions lately.

A purple balloon present.

I caught a banded dragonfly and a red snapper today, and I also gathered up some fruit. That allowed me to reach one million bells in my savings account. While this isn’t the first time I’ve had a million bells, it is the first time after completing Boondox…so this million is in my account to stay.

Pelly: The current bell balance is 1,000,000.

Katrina was today’s visitor, and I didn’t even bother. But I’ll probably be back on Sunday with another entry for the Bug-Off. Hope to see you then!

Rowan Into Town

I spoke with Goldie near town hall today, and she asked how I would describe her relationship with Rowan. I didn’t even know Rowan was my new villager, so she spoiled the surprise…just like Rolf spoiled Samson’s arrival recently. 😛

Goldie: How would you describe my relationship with Rowan?

A slider appeared with the options “best friends” and “mortal foes.” Since Rowan just moved in, I figured she probably didn’t know him well enough for either of those to be accurate, so I left the slider in the middle. That answer was correct, and Goldie gave me a mochi pestle as my prize.

I then went to meet Rowan for myself. The new tiger in town called me skinny and said I should drink some protein-enriched peach nectar.

Rowan: You oughta drink protein-enriched peach nectar now and then, skinny!

I’ve had Rowan in City Folk before, and I liked him. But that’s not a guarantee that I’ll like him in Wild World. We’ll see!

Peanut is looking forward to the Bug-Off coming up on Sunday. In fact, she said she even got a bite-proof dress to prevent the bugs from taking revenge on her. 😀

Peanut: I got this cute bite-proof dress to keep the bugs from taking revenge on me.

There were no special visitors in town today. But I’ll keep checking for them, and I’ll be back with another entry soon.

4th UFO

On Friday, at the first x:x7 time, Gulliver’s UFO flew overhead. I was ready and waiting for it, so I shot it down without any trouble. This was my 4th UFO shot down in Wild World.

The UFO begins its descent after being shot down.

I ran to the crash site and woke up the sole survivor. He counted the planets to figure out where he landed: the third rock from the sun. 😛

Gulliver: Let's see. One sun: check. Planets: one...two...three... Third planet: check.

He asked me to find the missing parts of his spaceship, and of course I helped him out. When I gathered them up and returned them, Gulliver rewarded me by giving me a compass. Not exactly the most exciting reward, but I guess it’ll keep me from getting lost?

The compass item from Gulliver in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

Before wrapping up my day Friday, I gave Goldie some more medicine, and I found a water bird in the recycle bin.

Today, the Happy Room Academy sent me my latest house score: 169,955 points. I’m starting to think that a score of 200k is doable, especially if I complete my space room and get a few more villager photos. I’ll probably have to get rid of more flowers from my left room, but I think I’ll go for it (eventually). I don’t believe I’ve ever earned 200k HRA/HHA points in any game.

A message posted to the bulletin board informed me that the Bug-Off is coming up on Sunday. That’s good news, because I’ll be able to give Tortimer the massage chair and get the scallop I need for Pascal! So I could potentially get my golden axe by next week. 🙂

- Notice - This Sunday is the long-awaited Bug-Off! Get buggy with it!

I was prepared to give more medicine to Goldie today, but she is now over her cold! I think she got over it quicker than Margie did. Goldie rewarded me with a mixer.

Goldie: I'll never forget your kindness! It's nice to know you're there for me.
Glad I could help! Just don’t move out like Margie did.

Peanut asked me to make a delivery for her, so I took an orange tie-dye over to Rolf for her. Rolf seemed to like the shirt, even though he called Peanut an unstylish animal. 😛

Rolf: Hey, that's not so bad! It's better than I expected from that unstylish animal!

Peanut rewarded me with 510 bells.

Margie’s replacement still has not moved in. I’ll be back with another entry later in the week (but not tomorrow). Hope to see you then!
