A Rare Kabluki

I decided to customize my circle banner with a zigzag design. I didn’t have a real reason for doing it; maybe I was just feeling edgy. But it’s still called a circle banner. Look at banner, Michael!

A circle banner customized with a zigzag design.Beth submitted a Kabuki faceboard design to the QR Codes page, so I gave it a try on my face-cutout standee.

A Kabuki design on my face-cutout standee.I wonder how Kabuki would feel if I replaced him with a cardboard cutout? I bet he’d feel blue…

Tom the cat sticking his face through the Kabuki cutout standee.Nah, that’s actually Tom…not a blue Kabuki. Also known as a Kabluki.

Over by town hall, Dizzy was intrigued by my moth.

Dizzy: Oh, wow! What are you doing with a moth?He offered to give me his metronome for it.

Dizzy: Let's make a deal! Wanna trade your moth for my metronome?I can always make time for a trade like this!

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Mike from Verkaton was my most recent dream visitor. And Tom mentioned having a dream of Timber from Xing. Thanks for visiting!

Circle Banner – Nintendo Zone DLC

Yesterday, I attacked a balloon present with my net and I ended up with a new hat. Clearly, it’s a gift from above. 😉

A present appears to land on my head.Copper told me Phineas was in town, and I was quite eager to see what new badge I had earned; I didn’t know what to expect. Once I tracked him down, he gave me the Gardening Specialist badge! Now I can stop buying extra flowers and saplings. TZ already gave me a hard time at Friday Night Forest earlier this month for planting a sapling where it wouldn’t grow. I did that on purpose, because I didn’t need the tree, I just needed credit towards this badge.

I got the Gardening Specialist badge! Need someone with a green thumb? I'm your guy!That was my 13th gold badge. As a result, this is what my badge collection looks like now:

My badge collection as of July 19, 2015.And then today, I found Joan in town, selling turnips for 104 bells each. I bought 4,100 of them this time.

Joan: The asking price is 104 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?A message posted on the bulletin board announced the winners of yesterday’s Bug-Off competition. Big Top was the big winner with 51 points.

Bug-Off Results: The winner of the Bug-Off was Big Top, 51 points.Circle Banner DLC

Pete delivered a new letter from Nintendo regarding a new Nintendo Zone DLC item. Now through August 1st, you can download a circle banner.

From 7/19 to 8/1, the circle banner is available via Nintendo Zone!So I went to pick mine up from Phyllis tonight.

Phyllis: Oh, all right. Here's the circle banner!The circle banner reminds me of a traffic light. This might be a good thing to use in a racing (or Mario Kart) themed room. 3, 2, 1, Go! It can be ordered from the catalog for 1,200 bells.

Circle banner: 1,200 bells.

Supporting Cally’s Decision

This morning, Reese was paying 126 bells apiece for turnips, so I sold all that I had. Not a huge profit, but at least I made a little money this week. It seems like I’m due for a big week, though.

Reese: Currently, I'm buying each turnip for 126 bells.When I put my turnip money into my bank account, my balance topped 47 million bells.

Your current balance is 47,170,000 bells.Daisy reminded me that the Bug-Off competition is tomorrow. I may not be able to participate, but thanks for the reminder, Daisy!

Daisy: Don't forget about the Bug-Off tomorrow!When I spoke with Aurora, she told me some great news: Cally is moving out of town soon!

Aurora: I was talking to Cally not long ago, and she mentioned she was thinking about moving...Still, I wanted to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. So I trapped her until she was ready to ping me. It took a while, but eventually she told me the news.

Callyl: It may seem sudden, but I'll be moving away on the 22nd of this month.I fully supported her decision. I’m such a good friend. I wanted to let her know she made the right choice, so I expressed my joy support with a little dance.

Dancing the Shrunk Funk Shuffle to celebrate.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me Mike from Newton was my most recent dream visitor.

And I just want to let you all know that I’ve made a new page about Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, which comes out in September. I list some general information about the game, share my thoughts, and embed a few videos (including the trailer and a couple of gameplay videos). Once the game comes out, I’ll also post blog-style updates there too.

Have a good weekend, everyone. I’ll see you next time!
