Even though this isn’t my real birthday, I entered my character’s birthday as July 1st. So when I started up the game today, Aurora quickly dragged me away and took me into her house. SURPRISE!
That’s right, Aurora threw me a surprise party!
Aurora and Big Top are two of my three favorite villagers, so it was really nice that they remembered my non-birthday. But wait… why is Katt here?! Party ruined. Just kidding…maybe.
I then had to blow out my candles…by literally blowing in the 3DS microphone. The problem is, I don’t know where the microphone is! So I started blowing all over my system until my character blew out his candles. This party is a really cute addition to the game. But when I was done partying and wiping the spit off my screen, I headed back outside.
In the mail, I had letters (with gifts attached) from Mom, Aurora, and Big Top.
The new month brings new DLC, so I headed to the post office to check out what the new item was. It’s a palm-tree lamp.
That was the regular DLC for this month. But Best Buy also has another DLC item available: the cat tower.
Here is a look at both the palm-tree lamp and the cat tower. They’re both tall items.
After that, I went to work at the cafe. My notes are paying off, as I was able to get Big Top’s coffee perfect today.
And I also got Aurora’s coffee just right too. I’m glad I could repay them both for their kindness earlier.
As for the other two customers, I got their orders partially correct, but not perfect. But Brewster still gave me some superb coffee beans for my work.
After that, I headed back outside and found my four fossils. I took them up to the museum, but all four were duplicates. When I went into Club LOL, I gave Shrunk a peach and he taught me the mischief emotion. I like this one a lot.
After I finished my shopping run, I ended my game…for the moment. But since it’s July now, that means there are lots of new summer bugs (and fish) available. So I opened my gate tonight to do some late night bug-catching. But once again, disconnections were a problem tonight.
First, Nick came over. Then we got disconnected. I reopened; Kyle, Wendy, and Lauren came over. Wendy made me a Jif peanut butter logo pattern.
We caught some bugs and showed them off near the top of my east ramp.
Unfortunately, we soon got disconnected and lost those bugs. When I reopened, Wendy, Pelon, and Marcey came in. Pelon had asked me if he could have the funny glasses when I first mentioned them in a blog entry from June 3rd. At first though, he didn’t even remember. But I gave them to him and he tried them on.
A bit later, I saw someone running around wearing a sombrero and a gas mask; that’s an odd combination. I didn’t know who it was!
Turns it out it was Pelon. He actually gave me a silver axe as a gift. With a silver axe, stumps will have special patterns (like the butterfly stump I had before). I cut a tree down with it, and it had a heart symbol.
We also dug holes around the stump so that we could fall from the stump into the holes. But because there was so much lag tonight, the people who fell into the holes didn’t struggle at all. They just stood there motionless in the hole! It was an odd sight to behold.
A bit later, we saw Katt. So naturally, we tried to kill her.
And shortly after that, Aurora asked me to find her some perfect fruit. Yeah, okay. I’ve only seen one perfect piece of fruit in two months, yet she expects me to give her some.
But the interesting thing wasn’t what she said, it’s what Wendy did in the background. She ran across the bridge, but apparently because of lag, her legs did not show up! She looks like a happy ghost, floating across my bridge! Take a look!
Wendy decided to go hide somewhere in town, and she told us to find her. Marcey was the first to find her; she was on my private beach. I joined them, but Pelon couldn’t–he didn’t have his wet suit with him.
But before long, we got disconnected again. So I lost some bugs and the silver axe. But that’s okay, because I prefer to get the silver tools on my own anyway. I was done in Forest at this point. But Wendy invited me over to see her police station, so I went to Oakville to take a look at it.
Unfortunately, Copper wouldn’t let me take items from the lost and found.
Back outside, I saw Kabuki. He asked how much I liked my town, and I said I liked it a lot. So he said he may have to check it out sometime.
Wendy also showed me her wind turbine, complete with sound effects.
And she had so many colors of flowers around her house that it looked like a box of Froot Loops threw up.
And inside, the demon cow admired her house.
