Punch That Music Box!

I received my monthly bank statement in the mail today, and I earned 3,160 bells in interest this time.

Nookington’s had a spotlight product today, so I rushed upstairs to see what it was. Turns out, it was a robo-stereo. Definitely not what I was hoping for, but I bought it anyway (for 1,760 bells) since I didn’t have one in my catalog.

Timmy: You have a keen eye! That's our spotlight product...the robo-stereo!

Back outside, I rolled up today’s snowballs to make a snowman. Unfortunately, I didn’t make him perfectly; he complained that he wasn’t snowman-ish enough. 😛

Snowman: Y'know, I always though I'd be a little more...uh... snowman-ish, y'know?

Mathilda had some dialogue for me that I don’t recall seeing before. She said she found a broken music box on the beach, and she asked for my help in fixing it. I told her to punch it.

Mathilda: But I think it's broken, 'cause it doesn't play. Can you fix it?

She apparently took my advice, and the punch knocked out a few music notes…

Mathilda is surprised to hear some (bad?) music notes after punching a music box in Animal Crossing: Wild World.

But she wasn’t happy with the result. She said if she knew it sounded like that, she would have thrown it away too. And she didn’t want to talk to me any more, because she was mad. Hey, don’t blame me! You did ask for my advice! And I never claimed to be a broken music box expert!

I met up with Rolf outside, and he just randomly insulted Gracie’s hair. Haha, I’m not sure what that has to do with anything, but okay, tiger.

Rolf: ...her hair actually looks pretty bad, don't you think, grrrolf?

Antonio was all packed up and ready to move out. I think I would have let him go, except for one problem: I don’t have his picture yet. So I talked him into sticking around a little longer.

Bunnie Hops to Town

It was snowing in town tonight, and Mathilda commented on how beautiful the snow was.

Mathilda: Look at that, J-puff! The snow is just gorgeous!

And in an apparent attempt to compliment herself, she compared the beauty of the snow to her own skin. 😛

Mathilda: I've been told before that my skin looks like fresh snow, wee baby.

Crazy Redd was in town today, but he didn’t have anything that I wanted or needed.

Patty’s replacement has moved into town, and it’s Bunnie the bunny.

Bunnie: What a great evening it is! Wait a sec...I've never seen you before, have I?

She didn’t recognize me, and that may be a good thing. I have some vague memories of perhaps being slightly mean to her somewhere, somehow…in another life perhaps. 😛 But we can put that behind us and start fresh. 😛 She is definitely an improvement over Patty.

Benedict asked me to guess how close he was with Goldie, and I apparently got it wrong. I never know how to answer these things; I always seem to guess incorrectly. Benedict just seemed so exasperated, and disappointed in me.

Benedict: You really don't understand a thing, do you, buhk buhk.
Do you have to breathe on me like that?

Since this is my last time playing before the month (and year) ends, I put all of my bells into my savings account to maximize my interest earnings. My balance is currently 633,929 bells…as I inch closer and closer to making my final million bell donation to Boondox.

Have a happy and safe New Year’s Eve, everyone! 🎉🎉🎉

Half Priced Trees

I received Patty’s goodbye letter in the mail today.

Heya, Jeff, Tee hee...it's true! I've finally pulled up stakes and left town! But I'll never forget you! -From Patty
Stakes, or steaks?

Nook’s Cranny had a half-off sale, so I bought a festive tree for my house. It only cost 520 bells! Although, it was a small tree, since they didn’t have any large ones in stock.

Timmy: The price is 520 bells. Would you like it? ...like it?

This is how it looks in my house:

My festive tree in my snowman-themed house.

Margie asked me to deliver a letter to Benedict, and I agreed to help out. Benedict was nice enough to show me the letter.

Dear Benedict, Your heart was really in that last letter. Thanks! Someday I'm gonna be a running referee! I feel chatty! -Margie

When I returned to Margie, she gave me a desert cactus as my reward for making the delivery.

Happy holidays, everyone!
