Month: September 2016

The other night, Bob told he was out hunting…for a men’s toilet!

I had one in my pocket, and Bob offered me 400 bells for it. I agreed to the trade, just to be nice. And it helps my cash flow.

Today, I noticed that the grass and trees in town are now a different shade of green.

Rolf approached me and gave me a new shirt, the cloudy tee.

I decided to put it on and wear it, at least for a day or so. Hey, I match the sky!

There was a tent at the campsite, so I went inside to see who was visiting. Caroline the red squirrel was the camper inside. I showed her my shirt, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head!

Luna told me my most recent dream visitor was Dragon from Pooville. 😛

Just passing on a little Animal Crossing news: It’s been reported that the Animal Crossing app, which was supposed to be released this autumn, has been delayed to 2017. It should now be out by the end of March. I’m hoping this won’t push back the release of the New Leaf update that’s supposed to come out this fall, but who knows. I guess we’ll find out for sure when Nintendo posts their Animal Crossing mini-Direct video in a couple of months.

Anyway, Friday Night Forest is tomorrow! Anyone on my roster is free to drop by, and I’ll be opening about 10 p.m. Eastern time (7 p.m. Pacific time). As I’ve mentioned before, I have something planned that I’m bringing back from ACCF. It’s not a major project like my match race or Megan’s shell game, but it is something that should make Friday Night Forest a tad more playful and fun. 😉 So be sure to check for the blog entry late tomorrow night!

Today is Labor Day in the U.S., and Isabelle was at the event plaza to hand out picnic baskets for the occasion.

Here you can take a closer look at the picnic basket, as seen on my fireplace.

That reminds me that I need to redecorate that sleek furniture room with a new theme. I have something in mind, but it probably won’t be done anytime soon.

Pashmina asked me to collect signatures for a petition called Mandatory Snack Time. I’ll never get re-elected mayor if I come out as anti-snacks, so I knew I had to help the cause!

And at the top of the waterfall, I found a lost book.

I went around asking my villagers about the lost item. I couldn’t find Molly or Bob, but I asked everyone else. Or at least I thought I did.

Later on, Beth opened up her gate so that I could collect signatures in her town. I forgot to take a picture of the completed petition, but her animals were quite helpful and they eagerly joined the cause.

When I was done, I opened my gate for Beth to get a picnic basket from Isabelle. We also posed at the Labor Day face-cutout standee.

I tried displaying a dorado I caught in the river earlier, and it poked through the faceboard somehow. Maybe I can stand here and cook it.

I returned the completed petition to Pashmina, and she thanked me by giving me a rococo chair.

Then, I knew I had to track down Bob and Molly to return the lost book. I figured they must be on Main Street, and indeed they were. Molly was in the Emporium, but the book wasn’t hers. So I searched the museum for Bob, and eventually I found him in the art gallery. Surprisingly, the item wasn’t his either!

So that meant I must have missed someone! I had to start all over, asking everyone. Beth helped me track down my villagers. Big Top? Not his. Still not Pashmina’s. Still not Hamlet’s. Or Julian’s, Aurora’s, Rolf’s, or Daisy’s. The only one left this time was Agent S. And thankfully, it was hers. At last.

She rewarded me with a dapper tee. 😮 Seriously? I had to ask 17 villagers for this, and all I got was a lousy t-shirt? I need to stop picking these things up. It’s just not worth it. Even though it’s not usually this difficult to find the owner.

Anyway, I hope you all had a nice day. Just as a reminder, Friday Night Forest is this week! I’ll be bringing back something I used to do in ACCF, but I don’t want to ruin the surprise for my guests until they arrive. But it’s not a race and it does not involve pitfall seeds. No more hints now. 🙂

Luna told me that Lily from Verona recently visited my dream town. Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

As I was working a shift at the Roost, a pig named Kevin came in for coffee. I was wondering why a pig would be named Kevin, and then it hit me. Kevin Bacon!

I’ve been ordering a few items for next week’s Friday Night Forest, and I was starting to run out of storage space for them. But then I realized, I had some gold roses in there. So I moved them down to my beach, where they’ll be safe, and out of the way.

I noticed Gulliver on the ground while I was there. Since I had an extra pitfall seed on me, I buried myself close to him. I don’t know why, I just thought it would make an interesting picture.

Beth made a short visit to town so that I could drop an item off at her other town of Arrested. While there, I helped pull some weeds and dig up some buried fossils before she kicked me out.

Later on, in Forest, I headed up to Club LOL to catch some live music. K.K. played K.K. Country for me and my old buddy Kidd. But Kidd seemed more interested in looking at me! At least at first.

I returned to the beach to wake up Gulliver, and he told me he was headed to an island that was known for giant heads carved out of rocks. That is Easter Island, and Gulliver will be sending me a Moai statue from there tomorrow.

And in my central park, I found Pashmina resting on my town’s metal bench. I let her sleep, just to be nice for a change.

My most recent dream visitor was James from Pineton. Thanks for stopping by!

Update: I apparently forgot to mention this, but my bank account balance has recently topped 80 million bells!
