Month: July 2013

Today, Nook installed my new arched astro door on my house.

Big Top was reminding me that the Bug-Off is this weekend. He was afraid his net had some holes in it, though…

And I checked out the latest Best Buy DLC, the rolling suitcase.

This is what the rolling suitcase looks like:

I went to the cafe for some coffee. Brewster told me that the perfect temperature for coffee is 175.32 degrees. If you say so.

After working my shift, Brewster gave me another one of his own gyroids.

When I made my way over to the town tree, I saw Gracie for the first time!

She asked if fashion was important; I told her no, and she got mad. She wouldn’t say much else until I talked to her again and told her it is important after all. And then, she told me about her fashion checks.

She told me to go for a “basic” look, but you still have to have a completely matching outfit, including shoes and everything. What a pain; I’d rather wash her car. I didn’t really have a full matching outfit, so she didn’t approve of my look.

She apparently gives you the rest of the day to fix your appearance, but I think I was beyond hopeless for today. I’ll need to find a complete outfit and keep it in storage for next time.

Anyway, I had a new town project opening up, so I went to the ceremony for the new yellow bench!

Wendy came over to shop, and I also let her try out the new yellow bench as she drank her coffee.

And at one point, she disappeared. But then I found her in my house, doing something in the wheat!

She got a new town project today herself, so she invited me over to see it. It’s a zen clock.

We hung out in her house for a while, and then Wendy ended the session. As always, I’ll be back tomorrow with another update, so please check back!

Late last night, Tex was clearly delusional. He said that putting in a parabolic antenna was one of my campaign promises when I ran for mayor! 😮

But then he realized how wrong he was. But he added the parabolic antenna to the list of available town projects.

Tonight, I went to see my brand new modern police station!

And inside, I met Copper the police dog.

I then went to work at the Roost. I got Tabby’s coffee perfect, and she was talking about her famous Jeff dancing moves??

A camper was in town, so I went in to see who it was. It was Whitney the wolf. Is it just me, or do her eyes look in-tents?

Speaking of “Jeff dance moves,” I tried out my Shrunk funk shuffle on Whitney, and she danced with me! Awesome!

She asked me if she should move into Forest…I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t answer right away. She’s pretty cool, but she’s not one of my favorites. Still, I told her to move in. However, she wasn’t convinced. Perhaps the forty-three seconds that had passed gave her paws pause. Or maybe she just wanted her privacy.

Today’s gem rock gave me a gold nugget. I had two in my house already, so I took the three of them to Re-Tail, where Cyrus was able to combine them into golden furniture. More on that later.

When I was done in town, I headed up to Main Street. All four of my fossils were duplicates (as usual), but I realized my balloon furniture exhibit at the museum didn’t have a title yet. So I gave it one.

And at Nook Homes, I noticed an arched astro door on sale. My house has the astro exterior, but not the door to go with it. That will change as of tomorrow.

After that, I went back to town hall, where Isabelle teleported me to the modern police station. This is the best police station opening ceremony I’ve ever attended!

Sources say my town was still underdeveloped, so I decided to put in a yellow bench. I chose a spot near my wind turbine and in front of town hall.

It was only 30,000 bells, so I took the money out of the banana stand my pockets and paid it off. Isabelle will build the yellow bench by tomorrow.

♫ Big yellow bench, big yellow bench, meet me down at the big yellow bench. ♪

I then returned to Re-Tail, where Cyrus had a big golden clock with my name on it.

That’s all for today, but check back tomorrow for more!

Late last night, I played some New Leaf with my friend Wendy. We toured my museum, which is something I rarely do.

The aquarium is looking really nice now that it has a bigger selection of fish in it.

We hung out at my town for a while, and went to her town as well.

And we also went out to the island.

I discovered something interesting while there. When you’re sitting in the chairs at the island, waiting for the boat, it won’t leave while you’re doing an emotion. So I did my dancing emotion, which lasts quite long compared to the regular emotions, and it had to wait for it to finish before the boat would leave. It seemed to let me restart the emotion too, so I can see that getting abused once more people get that emotion.

As for today, not a whole lot was going on in Forest. I worked in the cafe and got my first three customers perfect. But my fourth customer was Phyllis, who I didn’t have ample notes on. She drank the coffee, said it was “not bad,” and then walked out. I assume it wasn’t perfect, but she didn’t give an indication what was wrong with it either.

In the Dream Suite, I updated my dream town (as I do every day). Luna informed me that 1,021 people have visited Forest in their dreams. That’s the first time I’ve seen it top 1,000, so thank you all for stopping by!

I also made a trip to the island for some bug-catching tonight. When I returned, I had enough money to finish paying off my modern police station! It will be completed tomorrow!
