Day 617

As I started up the game tonight, I was greeted by the northern lights up in the sky above.

The northern lights above my house.Molly also joined me on the bridge to enjoy the scenic view. From here, you can view the aurora…and Aurora’s house.

Molly joins me on the bridge to watch the northern lights.I went over to Big Top’s house to say hello, and I found him sitting down. He couldn’t even bother to stand up to talk to me? That’s okay, I understand. For an elephant, just standing up is (literally) a ton of work.

Big Top sitting on a little stool.Back outside, Octavian asked me to catch a river fish for him. I love easy requests like this. I caught a dace and took it back to him; he thanked me with a jockey shirt.

Octavian: This is just a token of my thanks. It's a jockey shirt!On the other side of town, Drago told me that Big Top makes fun of him for saying “toothless” all the time.

Drago: I'm so bummed out. Big Top made fun of me because I say "toothless" all the time...So I told him to start saying “gatorhater” instead.

Drago: I breathe fire! What's shaking, gatorhater?Since May 2nd, 2013, I’ve been blogging about New Leaf just about every day. I’ve only missed three days in those 20+ months (617 days). But if you’ve played any game daily for that long, you know some days there just isn’t anything noteworthy that happens. So I’m going to be scaling back on the New Leaf blog entries, but just by a bit. For now, I still plan on writing at least five blog entries a week. Don’t worry, I’m not giving up on New Leaf or this blog.

There will definitely be a blog entry tomorrow, since it’s Friday Night Forest. Hope to see you then! Thank you all for reading. 🙂
