Becoming Amelia’s Enemy

This morning, Joan was selling turnips for 109 bells apiece. Despite the high price, I bought 2,000 turnips from her.

Joan: The asking price is 109 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?This evening, Agent S asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek with her. I agreed, and she gave me 15 minutes to find her, Amelia, and Sprinkle.

Agent S: Here are the rules: the three of us here will hide, and you'll have 15 minutes to find us. Got it?I quickly found Amelia and then Agent S up a tree.

Agent S: Wow, I thought I was totally seek proof, up a tree.Three minutes later, I found Sprinkle hiding behind the zen bell. She seemed disgusted by the sight of me.

Sprinkle: Eeeek! Yuck, youMy pockets were full, but Agent S told me she’d mail my prize to me. And indeed, it was in my mailbox when I returned to my house. She sent me a birdbath! But I don’t think I’ll fit in it…

Agent S: But you can't carry anything more, can you? Don't worry, I'll send your prize in the mail!When Amelia insulted my clothes yesterday, she made herself a new enemy. I’ve been fairly neutral towards her, but now that I see how rude she is, all bets are off. So I introduced her to my golden net. Solid gold, like a hit record. The hits just keep coming! She didn’t appreciate the hits, though, and she threatened me! Did you hear that, everyone? Amelia Airhead is threatening me!

Amelia: Hey! Bonk me with that thing again, Jeff, and I'll show you how to actually use it!First she said I “bonked” her, and then she said I “plonked” her. I guess her vocabulary is limited to words that end in “onk.” Maybe next, she’ll say she’s gotta donk.

Amelia: Hey! I hope you're just clumsy and not straight-up mean. It's not nice to plonk someone like that.I got tired of messing with her though, so I moved on to some more intelligent town residents: The snowmen. I rolled a 4 and a 6 for snowman bingo.

My two bingo snowmen.I later saw Amelia again, this time down on the beach. Maybe the hits to the head caused her to see stars, because she swore she saw some UFOs.

Amelia: I'm with you, Jeff. I've seen the UFOs. Late at night. When everything is quiet...

Saturday Night Blues

Saharah was in town tonight, and I paid for some new wallpaper and carpet. She put in a lattice wall and a neutral floor. Not bad, but I switched back to my ice stuff right away.

A lattice wall and neutral floor.There was a notice posted on the bulletin board reminding the town of the New Year’s Eve countdown next week. I’ll probably open my gate for the countdown Wednesday night.

~ Notice ~ This year just flew by! Let's all join for a countdown and ring in the new year!When I went in to speak with Amelia, she was insulting my clothing by saying that look is OUT. And yet she’s wearing Marshy, the marshmallow ghost from Halloween! Uh Halloween is way over. :/

Amelia: Strike three, Jeff. That look is OUT. I mean, wear what you want, but...in earnest.Aurora tried to tell me she was moving out on January 1st, but I wouldn’t allow it. She should know better by now. Seriously.

Aurora: Oh, Mr. J! This may seem sudden, but I'll be moving away next month on the 1st.I then rolled the snowball in the above picture over to the event plaza, where I had seen the other one. I made a snowman and rolled his eyes for today’s bingo number: It’s 30.

My bingo snowman rolls the number 30.After completing my trip around town, I went up to Main Street to finish my night with a concert. I had K.K. choose a song to play, and he sang me the blues. K.K. Blues, that is.

K.K. sings for me at Club LOL.

A Top From Nintendo

This morning, Pete greeted me outside my house with a letter from Nintendo.

Pete: I have an express delivery for you from Nintendo.The letter wished me happy holidays. Nintendo sent a top attached to the letter. They even joked that they’re not cheap!

Dear Jeff, Sometimes simple is best. That's why our gift to you is a childhood classic: a top! ...We swear, we're not cheap!I put the top on my ice table, next to Jingle’s pic. Unfortunately, it doesn’t spin, but I can’t really complain a free gift. Or can I?

The top that Nintendo sent me.Reese was buying turnips for 192 bells, so I sold all that I had. I didn’t quite double my money this week, but that’s still a very nice profit.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 192 bells.Later on this evening, Agent S seemed to be cold outside. But she didn’t want to go indoors, because she might miss a single snowflake! Don’t worry, there’s going to be many more to come in the next two months.

Agent S: I didn't want to miss a single snowflake, up a tree!Over at the campsite, I found the first igloo of the season. They look so cool. And I love the calm, peaceful music that plays inside them.

The first igloo of winter.Kitt the kangaroo was inside. Kitt used to be a resident of my GameCube town; I do miss her a bit. But my town is full, so I wasn’t able to ask her to move in anyway.

Kitt: Oh, hello! Are you from this town? I thought it might be a little cold for camping, but it's actually very nice.The money bags in my pockets (from selling my turnips earlier) were cluttering up my inventory, so I made a trip up to the post office. After depositing the money, my account reached 30 million bells for the first time. Only 70 million to go until I get the gold badge for saving money. This is going to take me years.

Your current balance is 30,220,000 bells.When I found today’s snowballs, I put them together to make a snowmam. After a few imperfect snowmams in recent weeks, I finally made another perfect one.

Snowmam: My name is Snowmam.
My name is Jeff.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Kyle from Denver was my most recent dream visitor. And before I wrapped up my night in Forest, I decided to do a little fishing and diving.

I got a spiny lobster! Who would give lobsters SPINES?
