Month: January 2017

On Sunday afternoon, I visited Arrested and saw Daisy there. I had a chat with her, and I found out it was my old Daisy! Even though I didn’t plan it this way, I’m glad to see she ended up in a friend’s town. And it was good to see her again. 🙂

Later on, Mike from Key West came over to order some items out of Hopkins’ RV. We hopped into the seats and I tried to drive Hopkins crazy. 😉

Mike and I got some coffee and walked around town.

Over by the face-cutout standee, we had a grave situation. R.I.P. Mike (Rest in Pitfalls).

Yesterday, I found a new house plot behind the Roost. Rodeo the bull is moving in.

When Resetti showed up at the Roost for some coffee, I made no effort to get his order right. 😛 He was not pleased with me, and he made up some new swear words to yell at me.

The northern lights showed up in the sky above Forest last night, and I made sure to take some pictures from various locations around town.

I scanned Maggie’s Welcome Amiibo card and visited her RV. It wasn’t the pig sty I expected. She actually has a lot of gardening items in here; it looks nice.

Then today, I made my way over the new house and said hello to Rodeo. It turns out that he came from Arrested. I don’t particularly care for him right now, but maybe he’ll grow on me. If not, I could always grab my axe and make some hamburgers out of him. 😉

There was only one of my Welcome Amiibo cards that I hadn’t scanned yet, so I did that today. This is the RV of Boyd the gorilla. It seems to be under construction.

That wrapped up my day in Forest. Just a heads-up for any Zelda fans: Amazon has the upcoming book The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts up for pre-order if you’re interested.

My recent dream visitors have been Sarah from Sunshore, Alicia from London, Stampy from St. Town, and Jacson from Gilford. Thanks for stopping by! Remember, Friday Night Forest is this week! So I’ll see you then, if not before.

In a previous comment, Xavier informed me that Hopkins the bunny was inflatable! So I had to check it out for myself. I scanned his card again, entered his RV, and took a good look. And sure enough, there’s a spout (is that the right word?) on the back of Hopkins’ head! I wonder if he knows. I’m not going to be the one to tell him; he might feel deflated.

That probably makes Hopkins the lightest villager in Animal Crossing. I tried to get him to stand on a scale, but he said no weigh.

Beth came over to visit earlier this week, and unfortunately, she brought Katie with her. My hatred of Katie started back in ACCF, when her presence made my UFO hunting more difficult. But she still annoys me with the way she hangs around day after day if you don’t take her anywhere.

Lily the frog had an unusual request for me: She wanted Rolf!

So I fetched the overgrown kitty cat and brought him to Lily’s pad. Lily asked Rolf if he put a jewelry box in her mailbox. Rolf said yes, and Lily thanked him for it.

Lily thanked me for fetching Rolf by giving me her baby bed. But why did she have a baby bed?

I was quite surprised when I went into the lost and found at the police station, and found a space suit! Was this Gulliver’s?

Today, Lily asked me for some new furniture. I gave her a swinging bench that I bought from the drive-in campground. I’d love to see it in her house, and take it for a test ride. She thanked me by giving me a stripe wall.

After 6 days, it was time for to change out of my New Year’s Eve tuxedo. So I bought this zipper shirt and put it on.

I’m continuing to search for updated versions of dream towns featured in Jeff’s Dream Suite Adventures. And today I discovered that “Freak” has re-uploaded the dream town of Funkytwn! It’s the town with Colonel Sanders on the town flag, and lots of cool rooms like the cosmic bowling alley and the game show set. The outdoors is beautiful too.

According to Luna, my recent dream visitors have been Finn from Tumbles, Licha from Snowdin, RetroBoy from Happyhoe, Joey from Hyjal, Sindy from Tony’s, and Chanelle from Burton. Thank you all for visiting, and I hope you have a great weekend!

Last night, Beth invited me over the New Year’s Eve celebration in her town of Acorn (which is five hours ahead of me). I put on my tuxedo and headed over. Squishy was also there, and we all celebrated the arrival of 2017.At one point, Filbert pushed me away from the plaza! He’s stronger than he looks! 😉

Perfect oranges were Re-Tail’s premium item back in Forest, so Squishy and Beth returned to 2016 (briefly) to sell some perfect oranges in my town.

I didn’t watch the countdown in my own town, though. I was playing Wild World instead. But I did return to New Leaf later and saw a few of the fireworks.

Today, I got a letter in the mail from Mom, wishing me a happy new year. She included 10,000 bells with the letter.

While there weren’t fireworks today, I did spot the northern lights up in the sky. Lots of reasons to keep looking up lately.

Isabelle was at the event plaza, talking about how she wishes she could fly free like a bird. Are you not happy with your job here, Isabelle?

She was actually referencing 2017 being the year of the rooster. A Zodiac rooster was the item she was handing out for the new year. I took it home to get a look at it.

Between my perfect peach money from the other day and today’s monthly interest on my bank account, my balance topped 88 million bells.

My villagers all wished me a happy new year, although no one said it quite like Camofrog.

Today is also Bob’s birthday! So I made sure to pay him a visit and attend his birthday party. I gave him a customized square minitable for his present. I hope he liked it.

Pashmina was also there (sporting a Wii U shirt).

Not surprisingly, Bob had food on his mind. He couldn’t wait to dig into his birthday cake.

Happy birthday, Bob! And Happy New Year to you!

My recent dream visitors have been Adeline from Argyle and Ashley from Wendell. Thanks for stopping by!
