Nature Day 2016

Elise was indoors the other day, so I went in to take a look at her newly unpacked house. She was crying, telling me that she was having a bad hair day.

Elise: Can I tell you a secret, Jeff? OK...this is really hard to talk about, but I'm having a bad hair day.
I think you mean a bad face day.

Last night, I dug up a slim quazoid between Resetti’s manhole and Saharah’s humps.

Look! I dug up a slim quazoid!Today is Nature Day (also known as Earth Day), so Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out a cool globe for the occasion.

Isabelle: That's why I've prepared a special little something to celebrate Nature Day this year!A face-cutout standee was set up for Nature Day, and Rolf helped me pose for a picture. I made him be the girl. 😛

Elise: The rage... It burns. GRRRR!

My recent dream visitors have been Jerome from Jedric and Snow from Mikemoon. Thanks for visiting, and have a good weekend!

Rainy Days and Monkeys

I was greeted by a fairly unusual sight when I started up the game today: Rain.

Daisy: Rainy days like this give me another excuse to stay inside with a book.
Rainy days and monkeys always get me down.

I haven’t had much rain lately…but I suspect Elise may have brought the gloomy weather with her. I went into her house to introduce myself; she’s even uglier than she was in City Folk!

Elise: Hey! What are you doing in here? I'm not even unpacked yet!
Please don’t unpack at all. Just move.

She confirmed that she just moved from Beth’s town of Otaku, and then she begged me to come back and chat tomorrow. Ugh.

Elise: Come back tomorrow, and we can have a proper conversation. Puh-lease?I hope she’s outdoors tomorrow. It gives me so many more options. 😈  *cough* Pitfalls, hammers, and nets. *cough*

I found a lost mitten on the ground at the event plaza. I reunited it with its owner, Daisy. She thanked me by giving me a trunk measure.

Daisy: In terms of a reward, this is all I have on me right now. I hope you like my trunk measure!The word “trunk” made me think of elephants, and Dizzy in particular. I can’t believe I essentially traded Dizzy for Elise… 😯

I made an evening trip out to the island, where the weather was much nicer. I filled up my dock box with bugs, and they earned me more than 150,000 bells when I sold them at Re-Tail. When I put my money into the bank, my account balance reached 68 million bells.

Your current balance is 68,000,000 bells.

My recent dream visitors have been Alex from Yavin 4 and Glory from Snowfall. Thanks for stopping by!

Tragic Monkey Magic

Yesterday, I received Dizzy’s goodbye letter in the mail. I’ll have to go visit him sometime! He also included his picture attached to the letter.

Dizzy's goodbye letter.His absence meant that a new villager started appearing on Main Street. That villager was Amelia Airhead. She and I became enemies late in 2014, at it wasn’t long until I encouraged her to get the flock out of town.

Amelia: Well, if it isn't old Jeff. How fun to meet up with you here!Today, Big Top saw that I had a common butterfly in my pockets, and he asked me for it. In return, he gave me his entire life savings: 90 bells.

Big Top: I'd be willing to pay up to 90 bells...which is my entire life savings.I was surprised to find a new villager plot in town, and that surprise turned to disappointment when I saw that Elise is moving in!

This spot reserved for Elise's new home. -Nook's Homes
Elise. Believe I never wanted this.

Elise is a hideous monkey that I had in my ACCF town years ago. Jorge also had Elise (and many other ugly villagers) in his town, as some of you may remember from my Crowded Bridge video.

I thought Elise was just a result of bad luck, but it turns out no luck was involved. Elise is Beth’s former villager! Elise is like a virus that Beth brought over and infected my town with! I don’t want ugly diseased monkeys running around my town! Beth is in my doghouse now! How rude! 😛

In other news, Agent S has apparently fallen in love with me!

Agent S: It's just that I think about you ALL the time. I've got skippy on the brain, so I cried!
The Spy Who Loved Me

Even though I haven’t seen Katrina lately, I’m guessing this must be related to her wizardry. Or maybe the pending arrival of Elise is causing all sorts of problems, like a glitch in the monkey Matrix.

I’ll be back tomorrow when I meet the wicked glitch herself.
