Month: September 2013

Today was the day of the Bug-Off competition. And the event’s host, Nat, informed me that this is the final Bug-Off of the season.

Molly, being the cute duck she is, told me that even if we’re rivals, she still cheers on her friends.

I turned in a goliath beetle (that I saved from last night) in to Nat. You need an 80-point bug to score a special piece of bug furniture. But Nat only gave me 79 points for my goliath! Bug off, bug man!

But even though I didn’t get a special piece of furniture, my 79-point bug was still enough to win the competition. So I attended the ceremony later in the evening.

After that was over, Molly suggested a new public works project (PWP): a garbage can. I already have a garbage can in my house for getting rid of trash, so I’d rather not put one outdoors in my town.

Today’s fake rock gave me a gold nugget earlier in the day. I took it, along with two others I had in storage, to Cyrus at Re-Tail. He turned them into a golden dresser for me.

Once 8:00 p.m. rolled around, I went up to Club LOL to watch a performance from K.K. I asked for a random song and he performed Space K.K. for me. Even though the title makes it sound like something I’d like, it’s not very good.

And today was the last day I could sell my turnips, so I headed back to Re-Tail to check out today’s price. They were buying them for 114 bells apiece, so I sold them all for 57,000 bells.

I originally bought them for 91 bells each, for a total of 45,500 bells. So I made a small profit of 11,500 bells.

Late last night, Wendy came over to visit. And I trapped her in a bubble.

After she escaped, we fought it out in an epic head-butt battle.

Eventually, we both became braindead. So I ended the party. But Kidd was sick, so I took him some medicine.

Then today, I checked my turnip prices: 53 bells. Not good. I hope they rebound tomorrow or I’ll be out a lot of money.

But this evening, I went fishing in the river and caught my first mitten crab.

And I attended the ceremony for the opening of my cube sculpture.

Then at 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Wendy and Daisy came over to visit. Daisy had a pink glow stick! She said it’s an item you can get in December. Looks cool!

We hung out in the cafe for a while, getting hyped up on coffee.

We then did some diving, and I caught my first spiny lobster.

Shortly after 11:00, we headed out to the island. I wasn’t a big fan of today’s tours, but we did one market value bug tour. Right as time expired, Wendy typed “Yay! I caught a pikachu!” It was formatted just like the automatic notices that tell you when one of us catches a bug, so it threw me for a loop. I had to do a double take at first, then I cracked up. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to snap a picture, but it was pretty funny.

After that, we caught some bugs and fish on the island. I did pretty good, earning 81,850 bells worth. When we returned to Forest, I worked on my paths some more. Meanwhile, Wendy was shaking an invisible tree.

And after Daisy had disappeared for a while, she returned as Santa Clown!

I determined that my zen garden was two spaces too low for my path. I think I’m eventually going to destroy it and replace it up a few spaces, so my path doesn’t have to twist around it. But that’s not a priority for now. For now, we just decided to water it.

Shortly after midnight, I ended the party for the night. Just a reminder that the Bug-Off is tomorrow, so I’ll be back then with another update!

Also, just want to let you know that six new clothing patterns were added to the New Leaf QR Codes page earlier today, courtesy of stardrops and Beth (3 dresses and 3 tops). So be sure to check them out! Thank you again, stardrops and Beth!

Late last night, Benedict reminded me that he was moving soon. But he gave me one last chance to change his mind. I kind of felt bad about him leaving, so I asked him to stay. He agreed to stick around.

Then today, I saw Phineas! I asked him for a badge, and he gave me the Seafood Encyclopedia badge.

Autumn Moon

Isabelle was over by the event plaza, handing out wheat bundles to celebrate the autumn moon (harvest moon) tonight.

There was also a scarecrow face cutout standee there. Benedict looked at me like I was crazy when I stuck my face into it.

As for the wheat bundle, this is what it looks like:

Cube Sculpture PWP

Over in my park, my cube sculpture has been completed! So I went to take a look at it.

To see another picture of the cube sculpture, check out my updated town page. I couldn’t attend the completion ceremony however, because town hall was closed due to the autumn moon festivities.

Later this evening, Aurora suggested a new public works project: a fairy-tale clock.

And Isabelle was talking about how she wanted to snuggle with the moon!

Unfortunately, there’s not a moon-viewing party where animals gather to watch the moon. That’s limited to the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. But I still stopped to admire the harvest moon up in the sky.
