Month: January 2016

After helping out Pashmina last night, she rewarded me with a baby bear from her secret stash. Wait, what? Why do you have a stash of baby bears?!

Today, the January fishing tournament was held. Chip told me it was all about the bass (no treble).

I caught a sea bass and took it back to Chip; it measured 41.15 inches. But that was shorter than Aurora’s current record of 44.5 inches.

So I returned to the ocean, where I fished. And fished. And fished. I caught quite a few sea bass, but none were as large as Aurora’s big bass. The good news is that I also caught some tuna and football fish that I ended up selling. After putting some money into the bank, my account balance topped 59 million bells.

The fishing tournament ended, and I figured maybe I would at least get a bronze trophy for finishing in third place. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before, so I could add a new trophy to my trophy room at the museum. So I went into Chip’s tent for the winners’ ceremony…and I didn’t even get third place! I was just in the audience!

Dizzy came out of nowhere to win the tournament, while Aurora got second place and Daisy got third place. A lot of times, I’ll barely try (catching only a couple of fish) and I’ll win. This time, I spent 30-45 minutes fishing and still failed. Haha, I guess it just wasn’t my day. 😛

On Tuesday, I saw Peck taking a nap on the bench. I chose not to disturb him this time.

Today was Velma’s birthday, so I paid her a visit. Not surprisingly, Forest’s other goat Pashmina was there too. Velma wasted no time in asking me for a present.

I gave her a lovely kitchen that had been customized in pink and black. She didn’t seem thrilled with it, but she said it’s the thought that counts. I tried to be a good sport and I enjoyed the moment.

When I was done, I headed to the door. On my way out, Velma tried to tell me that she loved the gift I gave her. She was obviously lying.

Later on, I headed over to Paige’s town to drop off a picture of Rolf. Hope you enjoy it, Paige!

I’ve had a little routine going lately that helps me inch towards some badges that I still need to earn. I buy some paper, write some letters with it, catch a few fish, catch a few bugs, and catch a few sea creatures while diving. After doing it today, I headed up to Re-Tail to sell my catches. And right there, I found Phineas! I wasn’t sure which badge to expect, but my first new badge of 2016 turned out to be the Letter Author badge for writing lots of letters.

Of course most of those letters say nothing more than “I hate writing letters,” but that’s okay. The badge I earned is silver, which means I still have another 100 letters to write before I can earn the gold badge. Here is an updated look at my current badges:

Yesterday, I did some diving in the ocean and caught a scallop. Pascal popped up out of the ocean and asked me for it; I handed it over and he gave me a ship cannon in return. He also told me he once went to the North Pole and found that there was no pole there!

I made some deliveries to give away a bunch of my duplicate villager pictures to Katherin, Hailey, CG, Yami, and Edouard. I hope you all enjoy the pics! I still have a number of pics available, though, so just contact me if you want some. Here’s what I have left:

Today, Saharah was in town. I paid her 3,000 bells for some new wallpaper and carpet; she put in this western vista and tatami. Again?! She just gave me a tatami four days ago!

Big Top was in Re-Tail shopping for bargains. Good luck finding a bargain here, pal! He said his eagle eye was going to come in handy. But it actually looked like he was crossing his eyes when he said that.

Rolf asked me to make a delivery to Daisy, so I took the item over. It turned out to be a jagged shirt, and Daisy seemed to like it. She rewarded with a BB tee.

Even though it may be a bit cold for a T-shirt, I put it on anyway.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Skylar from Konohana was my most recent dream visitor. Other visitors were Patrick from Sci-Town (yesterday) and Jordan from Funville (Saturday). Thank you all for stopping by!
