Final Fireworks For 2013

As I headed to Re-Tail today, I spotted Phineas! He gave me the K.K. Slider Fan badge.

I got the K.K. Slider Fan badge! It was worth going to all those Saturday-night concerts!I also went to the Roost. I couldn’t work since today is an event day, but I spoke to Kapp’n. He was his usual weird self.

Kapp'n: Drinkin' hot coffee on purpose... On a hot day... Yar! That be what makes us men, ye know...? H-h-hot!And when I talked to Teddy, he told me an interesting tip. If you take a fossil to Cyrus at Re-Tail, he can turn it into a miniature! But you need to have all of the pieces of the fossil.

Teddy: If you take a fossil to Cyrus at Re-Tail...he'll remake it into a miniature!Over by my face-cutout standee, I saw a piece of furniture. But wherever did it come from? However, I had a strong feeling it was not a piece of furniture, but instead a walking leaf. They’ve fooled me enough in City Folk that it didn’t fool me this time. I got my net out, went up to it, and caught the little bugger!

I caught a walking leaf! I'm glad it can't run!And while talking to Molly, she gave me a blue tie-dye tee for free.

Molly: Um, boss. I want you to have my blue tie-dye tee.So I went ahead and put it on. I’m blue Jeff once again. I also talked to Aurora, and she told me that she slices her vegetables to the beat of K.K. Technopop. Interesting. Exactly what vegetables do penguins eat?

Aurora: I turn on K.K. Technopop and slide my veggies to the beat.Nintendo released a new Nintendo Zone DLC available in America today, so I picked up the new afternoon-tea set. Unfortunately, it can not be ordered from the catalog.

Afternoon-tea set: Not for sale.Then later, at 7:00, I opened up my gate for the final fireworks festival of the year. Tom41 and Daisy came over to visit. I made sure to get my star bopper from Isabelle.

Me wearing the star bopper I got from Isabelle at the fireworks festival.We bought some of Redd’s cookies, watched the fireworks in the sky, and set off some of our own.

Watching fireworks with Tom and Daisy at the fireworks festival.I also remembered to say goodbye to Tex. This was his last day in Forest.

Tex: After I leave...make sure everyone in Forest is well taken care of, killer! Thanks!Tom kept sneezing on me, so I got my net out and caught his cold.

Jeff, swinging a net at Tom: I caught a cold!A bit later, Tom showed us an invisibility glitch. I first pushed Tom and Daisy onto the tracks, then they ran all the way to the right. I’m not sure of the details since I couldn’t see them, but they soon “appeared” by the beach invisibly. I could see their emotions, and that’s it. After a couple minutes, Daisy appeared somehow. But Tom was still invisible.

Me and Daisy watch emotions coming from Tom, who was invisible on the beach.He ran around on the beach, and we could even see his footsteps. After several minutes, he told us if we dug a hole, he could “fall” into it and be visible again. So we did, and out of nowhere, Tom appeared in the hole.

Tom appears in a hole after being invisible.I felt like I had just witnessed his birth.

Jeff: I witnessed Tom's birth. :/After that, Tom had to leave. I bought some more cookies from Redd. I ended up winning a love tester and an ultra hand. Soon, Wendy came over to join in the fun. I had given Isabelle a stag beetle pattern (one of my default patterns), so it was displayed as a firework.

A stag beetle fireworks explodes in the air at the fireworks festival.We got disconnected at 8:00. I had been planning on ending around then anyway, so I didn’t reopen my gate. But one of my animals told me that Tabby was sick, so I thought I’d buy some medicine. And then not give it to her. In fact, I plopped in her bed myself. Tabby, please don’t look at me like that.

Tabby makes a weird face at me as I lie in her bed.She moped around, shivering and just being her gross self.

Tabby walks around shivering as I lie in her bed.She told she felt useless today. Just today? Anyway, I felt sorry for her and gave her the medicine.

Tabby: I'm useless today. C-c-come back another time, OK?I then returned home to take a look at all my new stuff for today. From front to back, just left of center, is my love tester, ultra hand, and afternoon-tea set.

My love tester, ultra hand, and afternoon-tea set on display in my house.That wrapped up my night in Animal Crossing New Leaf. But I have one other thing to show you all: my town page. It shows my town map, list of villagers, pictures of my public works projects, town history, dream address, and other info. I’ll be updating that page regularly, so I hope you’ll check it out from time to time. Thank you all for reading and I’ll be back tomorrow!

Basement Expanded

As promised, Nook expanded my basement today. So now there’s a little room to spread the furniture out more.

My newly-expanded basement, with some golden furniture and my Brewstoids.When I saw Rolf, he reminded me that tomorrow is the last fireworks festival of the year.

Rolf: More importantly, tomorrow is the last fireworks show of the year!I found my fossils and money rock, then headed up to Main Street for a shopping run. T.I.Y. had Forest Life, so I snatched that up right away.

Timmy: Ah, Forest Life! A fine item, yes?In the Able Sisters’ shop, I saw Benedict. He warned me not to copy his style, because people might get the two of us confused. Right…

Benedict, in Able Sisters: Don't copy my style, OK, boss? If we start dressing the same, people might get us confused.In Labelle’s section of the store, I bought myself a wizard’s cap.

Labelle: Oh wow! So cute and so wonderful!Wendy came over to shop, and then we made a quick trip to the island. The hide-and-seek tour was there again today! At one point, it wasn’t available for at least six weeks, and now I’ve seen it about six times in the past two weeks. I was glad to see it, but I was a bit busy, so we only did one game of it today.

Tortimer: That was fast! Really fast! You've earned a Gold Tortimer award, meaning you get 9 medals!And then later on tonight, I went to see K.K. perform at Club LOL. I asked him for a sad song, and he performed K.K. Dirge! Whaaa?

K.K.: Here's a jam that makes the blues seem like old news... K.K. Dirge.That’s all for today, but I’ll be back tomorrow with more. I’ll be opening my gate around 7:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time for the fireworks festival. For those of you on my roster, please stop by!

Friday Night Forest

After doing my “chores” around town, I took the day’s earnings up to the post office and finished paying off my latest house expansion. I then went to see Tom Nook and told him to expand my basement. It will be done tomorrow.

Tom Nook: The work will be fully completed by tomorrow morning. I'm so sure you must be very excited, yes, yes!And then at 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Daisy, Wendy, and Patty came over to visit.

Daisy, Wendy, and Patty arrive in Forest.I talked to Tex and he said felt like drinking some tomato juice. I’ll say one thing about Tex, he’s definitely unique. He doesn’t fit into any stereotypes. He’s a penguin, named Tex, that dances to R&B music, and drinks tomato juice. Do you know any other penguins like that? I sure don’t.

Tex: On a day like this, I feel like drinking some tomato juice and letting myself relax a bit.When I saw Benedict, he asked me to take a petition to another town. It’s for Toffee Appreciation Day.

Benedict: If you are, would you mind getting some signatures for my petition, Toffee Appreciation Day?Before long, Patty left and Joey came in. He brought Katie with him.

Joey from Italy has just arrived in Forest.Before long, we all disconnected. So I reopened the gate. Wendy came, and then Daisy came back as well. But Daisy also brought Katie. Unfortunately, we soon disconnected once again. When I reopened, Wendy and Daisy returned. In the cafe, I think Brewster was threatening me. Did you hear that everyone? Brewster is threatening me!

Brewster: I'll be waiting for you tomorrow.I went to visit Molly, and I noticed something. She’s so short that you can barely see her behind her couch.

Molly, barely visible behind her couch.At 11:00, we gathered at the modern clock to watch it light up at the top of the hour.

Daisy: Happy 11 o'clock!A bit later, Joey returned. So we had a full house once again. We headed out to the island.

The four of us on the dock, ready to go out to the island.While there, we caught some fish and bugs. Joey felt that I stole this cyclommatus stag from him. Too bad, so sad. 😛

Joey uses the heartbreak emotion as I catch a cyclommatus stag before he can grab it.We also did a hide-and-seek  tour (my favorite), but then we got disconnected once again. So annoying. When I reopened my gate for the last time, Wendy and Daisy returned, and Nick also joined in. We headed back out to the island for several hide-and-seek tours. All three of them were trolling me, doing the Shrunk Funk Shuffle to delay the boat ride.

Daisy: LOL.During one of the tours, Wendy found the animal Wendy! So apparently, she found herself.

Wendy: I found Wendy!I was not doing well at the tours tonight. But hide-and-seek is a team game, so we all get the medals.

The four of us celebrating a successful hide and seek tour.When we were done, we returned to Forest and I ended the party. But all of the visitors tonight put my total visitor count at over 100. So Porter informed me that I can now remodel my train station! Awesome!

Porter: It's crazy, but guess what? Forest Station has been selected for remodeling! Eek!I backtracked to town hall to take a look at the three options. Here are pictures of them all:

Zen train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Fairy-tale train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Modern train station reconstruction PWP: 498,000 bells.Much like the town hall options, none of them really jump out at me. I may end up going with the third one, even though it is a bit plain. But I haven’t decided for sure just yet. Anyway, Wendy was opening her gate for me so I could get petition signatures for Benedict. And in her town Oakville, they were just lining up to sign!

Kabuki and Mira lining up to sign my petition.I soon got all the signatures I needed.

Petition signatures for Toffee Appreciation Day: Molly, Mitzi, Kabuki, Mira, Rory, Colton.I returned to Forest and gave the petition to Benedict. He could not hide his excitement. Not even with the clipboard. Ahem.

Animated GIF of Benedict shifting his feet and body.To thank me, he gave me an imperial wall. Seriously? All those signatures for wallpaper? Ugh.

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