Velma the Bear Wrestler

Yesterday was Pashmina’s birthday, so I headed over to her house to help her celebrate. Velma, the town’s other goat, was also there for the party.

Pashmina's birthday party. I gave Pashmina a customized circle banner for her birthday present. She said she was surprised by the gift, but she later said it was awesome. I’m not sure if I believe her or not.

Pashmina's birthday presentHave a good one, Pashmina! I hope this birthday is your Greatest Of All Time.

Today, there was an igloo over at the campsite. Ozzie the koala was inside; he said he picked Forest randomly. Apparently, that’s how he picks out his clothes too.

I met up with Pashmina today, and she told me that Velma once wrestled a bear…and won!

20151227_HNI_009720151227_HNI_0098Could that be true? I had to ask Velma about it myself. I went to her house and I found her sitting at her piano. She told me to keep the rumor to myself! Wow, it must be true!

Toy Day 2015

Last night, I made a point to try to get as many Toy Day hints as possible. I had at least one clue for eight of my villagers–all but Aurora and Agent S. Aurora was in the museum, and she wouldn’t talk about anything but fossils. As for Agent S, I couldn’t find her anywhere. But I did stop to wish on a few shooting stars.

And then tonight, of course, is Christmas Eve. I found Jingle the black-nosed reindeer in town, and he asked me for some help delivering presents. He gave me the magical Santa bag filled with presents.

20151224_HNI_0045I started handing out presents to the six villagers who gave me two clues; they were generally pretty easy to figure out. Dizzy wanted beige clothes, so he got the beige knit shirt. Daisy wanted red plants, so she got a poinsettia.

20151224_HNI_0047Rolf wanted orange food, so he got an orange. (Called it!) Peck wanted white electronics, so he got the refrigerator.

20151224_HNI_0052After I successfully delivered six presents, I had two villagers who had only given me one clue. Using the process of elimination, I was able to figure out which was which. Molly wanted clothing, and the purple tie-dye tee was the only shirt I had left. Velma wanted something green, and the only green item left was a green wall.

I was then down to two items left (a vacuum cleaner and an elephant slide) for two villagers (Aurora and Agent S). I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. I found Agent S, and she said “brace yourself.” She was directing at herself, but it could have easily been said to me. “Here goes nothing!”

20151224_HNI_0055She opened the gift and an elephant slide was inside. She was clearly disappointed. I have officially failed Toy Day.

20151224_HNI_0056I gave Aurora the vacuum cleaner and then returned to Jingle. He said he would have been more careful to give the gifts to the right people…how rude! So why didn’t you, then? 20151224_HNI_0058He did thank me for my help anyway, and he gave me a festive wreath.

20151224_HNI_0061When I updated my dream town, Luna told me that Lewis from ToonTown was my most recent dream visitor. Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas Eve and Toy Day, if you were able to play. And I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Happy holidays to you all! 🙂

Snowy Hide and Seek

Agent S told me she was going to move out of town on December 24th! Is she trying to be a grinch? Maybe I need to tie her tail to a tree. You’re not going anywhere, squirrel-friend!

20151222_HNI_0089Rolf gave me a Toy Day hint, telling me he wants something orange. Let me guess…an orange?

20151222_HNI_0090These are the Toy Day hints I have so far:

  • Daisy: red plants
  • Dizzy: clothes
  • Rolf: something orange
  • Velma: something green

That’s it. I’m so going to fail at Toy Day this year. But it’s no big deal, really. I successfully completed the event last year, after all.

Anyway, I built a new snowmam today and she was perfect. I immediately redeemed six snowflakes for two ice furniture items. And then we all went Christmas caroling.

20151222_HNI_0094Velma asked me to play a game of hide-and-seek in the snow, and I said yes. I had ten minutes to find two goats and a tiger.

20151222_HNI_0096I was thinking this would be a good time for Rolf, if he had wanted, to eat the goats. When they never showed up, he could just feign innocence and say maybe they were really good at hiding. Or maybe I’m just weird. 😛 Anyway, my theory was quickly proven wrong as I found Pashmina and Velma hiding behind trees. Rolf, however, didn’t pick out the best hiding spot: He was standing behind his own house!

20151222_HNI_0003Velma congratulated me on winning the game. She gave me a green wardrobe as my prize.

Up at Able Sisters today, they finally had the Santa hat on sale. Now I’m ready to fool my villagers on Christmas Eve.

20151222_HNI_0005Speaking of Christmas Eve, I will be back with another entry then. We’ll see how bad I mess up this Toy Day event. 😛

By the way, I’ve put up a new blog entry about the Desert Island Escape mode in Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival for Wii U. Unlike the regular board game, the Desert Island Escape mode is actually quite fun. Don’t be fooled by its initials (D.I.E.). 😛 It’s over on Jeff’s Gaming Blog. If you don’t know, that’s where I post about games that I don’t have specific blogs for already. I’ll also be posting there about any game(s) I may get for Christmas.

Happy holidays and I’ll see you Thursday!
