Rolf approached me tonight and offered me the moon. Literally. He gave it to me, for free! Wow! Thanks, Rolf!
That snowman in the background was my next stop. I rolled his eyes for him, and he rolled a #20. It was a number that I needed, but it still didn’t complete a bingo. And even though the snowman won’t say it, it gave me the equivalent of a “quadruple ding.” I’m one number away from a bingo in four different ways now.
There was another igloo set up at the campsite today, and Jacques the bird was inside. I don’t mind having a full town this time, because I wouldn’t have wanted him to move in anyway.
Over by my western bridge, Sprinkle must have seen the full moon in my pants. She wanted me to give her the moon…for a banana. The moon for a banana? You crazy.
Instead, I took the moon up to Re-Tail, where Reese paid me 8,000 bells for it. Psh. A banana.
Down on the beach, I found Gulliver, the unconscious seagull.
I woke him up, and he was talking about some spicy soup called tom yum kung. I figured out that he was going to Thailand, so he’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.
It included an item called a hagoita; I’ll show a picture of it in a moment. But first, I headed to the event plaza. Isabelle was there, and I noticed that the northern lights were shining overhead as well.
Isabelle wished me a happy new year and gave me a zodiac goat to celebrate the year of the sheep.
There was also a face-cutout standee for New Year’s Day. I stuck my head through it, and it looked like I was trying to warm my hands in the blast of a giant firecracker. Probably not the best idea.
I then returned home to take a look at my new items, which I put on my ice table. The zodiac goat is on the left and the hagoita is on the right. The goat is a bobblehead, just like the zodiac horse and paper tiger I have in my sleek room.
Outside, each villager would wish me a happy new year. Although Agent S tried to be clever by wishing me a sad old day instead.
Drago told me he almost missed 2015 altogether. I think he’s a bit confused.
After rolling a snowman’s eyes, I got a #40. That gave me a triple ding, meaning I’m one number away from a bingo in three different ways. The snowman says a triple ding is actually more rare than a bingo itself, but I don’t believe him. I remember triple dings being pretty common from all my bingo adventures last winter.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Alfredo from Smithson was my most recent dream visitor. And in the Happy Homes Showcase, Ian from Xereo gave me a tweeter.
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2015 is your best year yet! 🙂
I went down to check things out, and Resetti and Don were once again discussing the voice recognition system. Resetti warned me not to press the button and say “scramble” or even “crumble.” But of course, I gave it a try regardless. After a couple tries, it registered a “scramble” and Resetti took off! I don’t think he was happy about it. Too bad, so sad.
His…seat(?)…left flaming tire tracks (a la Back to the Future) as it screeched away.
Don confirmed the obvious: The test was successful.
I spoke with Big Top, and he told me he was excited for the New Year’s Eve countdown. But he said he wasn’t sure he could stay up until midnight.
At the event plaza, Isabelle was standing out in the cold by the big countdown clock…that she apparently made herself!
She asked me to join in the festivities and she gave me some sparkling cider for the occasion.
Crazy Redd also had a stand set up. This year, he was selling party poppers, yellow New Year’s hats, and blue New Year’s hats…all for 300 bells each. I bought a few party poppers and a blue New Year’s hat, which I put on.
I built a new snowman, and his eyes rolled a number 38. That gave me a double ding. In other words, I’m one number away from a bingo in two different directions.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Mollie from Wildside was my most recent dream visitor.
Madisyn was online, and I told her my gate was open if she wanted to drop by to bring in 2015 in my time zone. She said she might come, but she never did. So I just celebrated with Isabelle and Kabuki at the plaza once midnight rolled around. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I also fired off my party poppers…when I wasn’t busy accidentally talking to Kabuki.
I also drank my sparkling cider.
Kabuki wished me a happy stinkin’ new year. Thanks…I think.
After that, I looked up to the sky to watch the fireworks for a few minutes.
I hope you all have a happy and healthy 2015! And a big thank you to everyone who reads this blog regularly, I appreciate it. Have a great 2015, everyone! 🙂
