The Blue Boy

This morning, I tracked down Joan to buy some turnips. She was selling them for 92 bells apiece, so I bought 1,200 of them.

Joan: So 1,200 turnips comes out to be 110,400 bells altogether. Do you wanna buy them?I met up with Molly later on, and she offered to trade robo furniture with me. Sure, why not?

Molly: So would you consider trading your robo clock for my robo-lamp?When I worked at the cafe, I saw a new animal come in for coffee: Cherry the dog. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her before, even in pictures online!

Cherry: Coffee please! Make it a mocha!Afterwards, I built a new snowman and he gave me a new number. I ended up with a triple ding; that means I’m one number away from a bingo in three separate ways. It’s even more rare than an actual bingo, so my bingo card is starting to resemble swiss cheese.

Snowman: TRIPLE DING!I bumped into Kidd, and–just like this past Friday–he offered me a painting for exactly 7,056 bells. But this time, it was a basic painting instead of a nice painting. I still don’t have a basic painting in the museum, so it was an easy decision to buy this one too.

Kidd: I felt much better about parting with my basic painting knowing that YOU bought it.Right behind Kidd was Tammy, who was fishing. I spoke with her and she talked about how funny it would be if a fish cast a line up on land, with a piece of pizza on it. That would be hard to resist.

Tammy: Wouldn't it be funny if a fish cast a line with pizza on it up here onto the shore? GameCub!I found a lost item on the ground, so I began asking my villagers if it belonged to them. I eventually found the item’s owner when I went in Tia’s house (which is looking really nice, by the way). She rewarded me with a red tie-dye tee.

Tia: Thank you so much for returning it!I then headed up to the museum. First, I put my fishing trophy from yesterday in my trophy room.

Big Top invited me over to his house, and I had to pick a time. I really hate these planned visits, but I’m desperate for Big Top’s picture, so I don’t want to refuse him. I met him at 3:30, and he offered to sell me an item from his house. So I asked about the coelacanth sitting by the window.

Big Top: HUH?! I didn't think you'd want my coelacanth. Sorry, but no sale. It's like a brother to me.He didn’t want to sell it because it’s like a brother to him. Okay, fine, fair enough. But then he told me I should catch my own!

Big Top: You should go catch your own, J-bot!Excuse me? I am the one who caught that coelacanth in the first place, buddy!

But interestingly, Big Top said the same thing about his stringfish and even his sea bass!

Big Top: HUH?! I didn't think you'd want my sea bass. Sorry, but no sale! It's like a brother to me!He must have a lot of brothers.

When I went up to the second floor of the Emporium, I briefly mistook Harry and Timmy for a father and son.

My southwest park.Since it was a nice, mostly sunny day, I thought it would be a good time to take a bunch of wintertime pictures for my town page. So check that out if you’d like to see how Forest is looking these days.
