Glitches Galore

Tabby sent me a goodbye letter in the mail today. That’s the good news. The bad news? She included a picture of herself! Please don’t.

Tabby's goodbye letter.As if I’d ever be able to forget that face. I should be so lucky.

Tabby's picture.My pockets kept filling up, so I went to unload my money bags (from my peaches yesterday) at the post office bank. My account topped six million bells for the first time.

When I returned to town, Kidd offered me a nice painting for 7,056 bells. I didn’t have that one in my museum, so I took a chance on it.

Kidd: I feel much better about parting with my nice painting knowing that YOU bought it.The gamble paid off, because the painting was real! I quickly donated it.

One of Manet's earliest works. He influenced later painters and is called the Father of Impressionism.Main Street got a bit uglier today, as Katt has now joined the circus of Forest rejects who populate the shopping district.

Katt: ...What? Listen, if you got somethin' to say, then j-- Huh?! Jeff?!And in the cafe, Tia came in and told me she’d have her usual order. This is the first time you’ve been in here! Besides, I thought you’d be more of a tea drinker…

Tia: I'll have my usual order, please, Jeff!It was a clear day in town, but…it’s still January. So I was a bit surprised when Skye said she wanted to go sunbathing.

Skye: It's so nice outside today, it kind of makes me feel like sunbathing, wolfman.I made a snowboy, and again I failed at it. The snowboys seem to be the hardest of the snowpeople to make correctly. At least for me.

I went down to the beach (not for sunbathing) and I saw Gulliver. I woke him up and determined he was headed to Denmark. He couldn’t wait to see the mermaids there.

Gulliver: Oooooo! The seaside, with its many lovely mermaids...I checked out a StreetPass house at the Happy Homes Academy and it was quite impressive, especially the church room. I later visited the dream town and loved it. It will likely be a futureĀ Dream Suite Adventure.

At 10:00 tonight, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. At first, Patty was the only visitor. But by a quarter after, Saarah and Hazael also came over. We headed off to the island as the Northern Lights glowed in the skies overhead.

Boarding Kapp'n's boat.Patty needed a wet suit, so she was excited to see that the island shop had two of them available.

Jeff: But no drysuits. :(We did several hide-and-seek tours, as well as some bug-catching and fishing tours.

Celebrating a successful island tour.After about six tours total, Patty bought herself a wet suit and we returned to Forest. Patty went to meet Tia and then she left for the night.

At this point, Roman and Jessica were trying to come in, but they weren’t able to connect. So the three of us that remained tried doing some glitching. Saarah was helping me do the net glitch (walking very slowly holding the net to get onto places you’re not supposed to walk). I eventually got the hang of it, and we all got onto the train tracks. I’veĀ been on the tracks before, but using a different method.

Walking on the railroad tracks.We walked over to the bridge, and then did the glitch again to get down onto the water.

Walking on water.We then did it one more time to get into the abyss. Nothingness. It’s like being inside Tabby’s head.

Glitching into the void.Hazael got separated from Saarah and me somewhere along the way. But I made my way across the ocean and then up onto the cliffs at the northern part of town.

Standing on a cliff north of town.By midnight or so, I was all glitched out and I called it a night. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Standing in space.
