I was very surprised when I checked my mail today and found this letter from the Happy Room Academy (HRA). Somehow, I topped 150k points!!

That Master Sword I added last week must have helped my score more than I expected! Awesome! My reward was this mansion model.

So one of my two main goals (as I recently posted in this video) is now complete! The other one is the biggest goal of all, completing the museum…and I still need two paintings to do that. Nookington’s actually had a spotlight product today, but it was an ivory piano…not a painting. I still bought it for my catalog, though.

Margie was all packed up to move out of town, but I think I got her to change her mind.

Outside, I listened in as Antonio asked Mathilda how she spends her time if she doesn’t work out. Mathilda replied that she likes to shop a lot. I thought this conversation was headed for an argument, but I was wrong! Antonio said that extreme shopping can be a good workout, and Mathilda agreed! She said she once pushed her way to the front of a line!

About a minute after that, I heard a UFO flying overhead! I tried to get my slingshot out in time, but I wasn’t in a good position. By the time I nearly caught up with the UFO, it flew over the river (where there is no bridge). So this close encounter wasn’t close enough. Doh.

Goldie was still feeling sick, so I bought her some more medicine. Hopefully this will be the last time she needs medicine.

Have a great day, everyone! See you next time! 🙂

The snowman I added to my house last week gave a boost to my HRA score, but it wasn’t as big as I hoped. My score now sits at 145,744 points. I have a feeling that my room full of flowers may be hurting my score. So I added a Master Sword, which I got from Wishy in the mail for wishing on a shooting star, to add to my Nintendo bench in there.

Mathilda asked me about her outfit yesterday, wondering if I thought it made it look like she was looking for fossils, love, or her true self. I guessed “love,” and she made a comment about finding boys in dirt. Huh?

I neglected to notice she was holding a shovel, so apparently the correct answer was fossils. 😛

Antonio was packed up and ready to move out, but I asked him to stay. I still need his picture, so I want to keep him around until he hands it over.

Today, the flea market was underway. But I really had no interest in buying junk from my villagers. Sorry, Big Top. 😛

And speaking to villagers without buying anything makes them sad. I’m really not a fan of this event.

Even some of the outdoor villagers don’t want to talk because they’re thinking about selling stuff. Bunnie wanted to rush home to sell a nasty old couch.

Mathilda wasn’t talking about the flea market, because her mind was on pill bugs instead for some reason. She said that back in the day, pill bugs were as big as us! Now that is a creepy thought!

Goldie was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for her. Get well soon!

Completing the snowman furniture set resulted in a very nice bounce in my Happy Room Academy score. It jumped from 113,968 to 144,856! I’m very close to my goal of 150k now! 😀

I also received a letter from the snowman, and he mentioned that Bright Nights is his favorite time of the year. Except that the snowman who sent that letter never saw the Bright Nights! They took place the previous week. But still, he sent me the snowman I was hoping for! I added it to my main room.

There was a new “Talking to Myself” message posted to the bulletin board, complaining about nonsensical words in pop songs. Hmm, I wonder what song they’re talking about. 😛

Margie advised me not to let my mailbox fill up, because my mailbox “is my window to the heart.” I don’t think I’ve heard that one before.

Rolf asked me for a fossil, and I had trouble finding them today. With the snow gone now, the dig spots blend in better with the grass and dirt colors. But I did eventually find all three, and I gave Rolf an ammonite.

He rewarded me with an illusion floor.

I’ve been thinking about who my favorite villager is in town, and I’m currently leaning towards it still being Goldie. Even though I might like Rolf as a character better overall, favorites can vary by game. Goldie has lived in this town much longer, and I feel like we’ve built a friendship more…while Rolf frequently rubs me the wrong way in Wild World.

Have any of you had something similar, where you might prefer one villager over another in one game (or town), but not in another?
