Month: August 2013

Gracie was in town today, looking for iconic styles. I knew I didn’t have a chance, so I didn’t even waste my time.

There was a gem rock today, and it spit out four gold nuggets for me! I also had two in storage, so that meant I had enough for two gold items. I took the first three to Cyrus, but of course it takes half an hour for him to finish them.

In the meantime, I went to talk to Rolf. He offered to sell me a dynamic painting for 3,528 bells. I jumped at the offer.

I talked to him again, and to my surprise, he offered me another painting! So I bought the famous painting as well.

I was hoping for even more, so I kept talking to him. He didn’t offer any more paintings, but he did ask me for a catchphrase. So I told him to say “up a tree.”

And then he did something I never would have expected: He called Gracie a big old granny giraffe! Wow!

He even said she seems unstable and that he hoped she didn’t hurt him!

Anyway, after that, I talked to Molly over by the bridge. She told me that Alli was thinking of moving away.

Next, I went up to the museum. Both of the paintings I got from Rolf were fakes! I think I’m going to go hunting and chase Rolf, up a tree.

I then returned to Re-Tail to get my golden item (and to give Cyrus the next three gold nuggets). The first item turned out to be a golden wall.

I put my 3DS in sleep mode for a while until it was time for the other piece to be done. When I returned, Cyrus gave me the bad news. My other item was another golden clock! He’s given me four of these now! Aggggghhhhh!

After 8:00, I went up to Main Street so I could watch K.K. perform at Club LOL. But on the way, I spotted Yuka and Big Top…on a date!

Inside the club, K.K. performed K.K. Jongara for me.

After that, Wendy opened up her gate so that I could sell my perfect peaches in her town. I stopped to take a picture of her flower arch.

Also, Crazy Redd was in her town. Wendy had already purchased a robust statue. But like me, she doesn’t use a guide to see what’s real or not. So I took a chance on buying a moving painting.

I’ll find out tomorrow if it’s real or fake. If it is indeed a forgery, that will mean I purchased three fake paintings in one day. Yikes.

Late last night, I caught my first house centipede.

And as Wendy came over to shop, Harry stood on Timmy’s manhole cover.

So I bought the manhole cover from right under his feet. Somehow.

Then today, I went in to check on my newly expanded modern wood room. It looks much better now.

And I smashed my fake rock as Wendy looked on.

Over at the campsite, I had a camper for the second day in a row. Today, Anchovy was camping out. But I had a feeling he was going to order himself a pizza after I left his tent.

Back outside, Alli insulted my fashion sense! Yeah, maybe I don’t have any, but it’s still rude!

Big Top wanted some furniture. I had a crucian carp in my pockets, so I gave him that. He seemed to like his new friend, although he didn’t know where it would sleep.

Then tonight, I opened my gate at 10:00 for Friday Night Forest. Wendy and Dash came over to visit. Nobody was saying much, so I was just doing some fishing. And then I saw Dash, from across the river, dancing the Shrunk Funk Shuffle on the river bank. Weirdo. 😛

And after a while, I caught what I was looking for: a soft-shelled turtle! It’s my first one.

As soon I was typing out that I caught a turtle, Taylor came over. So we had a full house, and we headed off to the island. We started off with a butterfly-catching tour.

We also went on an item-matching tour.

Our third and final tour was called “Ancient-Fish Encoun-tour,” where we had to catch coelacanths and arapaimas. Overall, I did the worst at the tours. After we were done, we did some fishing and bug-catching on the island.

When we returned to Forest, I sold my catches and earned about 72,000 bells. Before too long, Dash and Taylor were leaving, so I just ended the party then.

Today was my 122nd day with Animal Crossing New Leaf, and my 122nd consecutive day with a blog entry. Eventually, on a day where not much happens, I may skip a day. 😛 But days-off will still be very rare, so keep checking back every day for the latest happenings in Forest. And have a great weekend, everyone!

Last night, Wendy let me visit her town to sell my perfect peaches. While I was there, I stopped to take a look at her fairy tale town hall.

Then tonight, I checked my mail and found that Gulliver sent me a pagoda from Japan. And here is a look at my new stainless mailbox:

It wasn’t long before Molly started asking me about my pagoda! She wanted to trade a daisy tee for it. No way!

There was a camper over at the campsite tonight…it was Dotty. Uhh, no thanks.

And soon, I made my way over to the new house in town. My new villager moved in today. Say hello to Canberra. ♪ Isn’t she lovely? ♪

I’ll have to introduce her to my hammer sometime soon. And I’ll give her some nice seeds, too. Pitfall seeds, that is. At any rate, I have updated my town page to reflect her unfortunate presence in Forest.

I eventually made my way up to the museum to add the pagoda to my World Wonders exhibit of Gulliver items. The room is filling up quite nicely.

After that, I had enough money to pay off my debt to Tom Nook. So he will be expanding my right (modern wood) room tomorrow morning.
