Resetti’s Picture

Tonight I found Resetti’s manhole open once again. So I did my best Santa Claus impression and jumped down.

Resetti's open manhole.Resetti seemed to think that I was interested in his line of work. No, I don’t want to harass people who are just playing a game.

Resetti: Not shy in the least, are ya?! You interested in my line of work or somethin'?But then he said I couldn’t do it anyway…because I’m not a mole! How rude!

Resetti: Only moles need apply, if you get my meaning?! Gah ha ha ha!But he got back on my good side by giving me his picture!

Resetti: This here's a picture of yours truly. I don't really get why, but seems like you've taken a shine to me.I returned home to take a look at it. Resetti’s favorite quote is “Earthquakes, thunder, fires, and fathers.” I’m wondering if that’s a list of excuses he hears from people who “accidentally” reset their games.

Resetti's favorite phrase: Earthquakes, thunder, fires, and fathers.Back outside, I noticed that some of the cedar/pine trees now have Christmas lights on them.

Christmas lights on a cedar tree.Unfortunately, none of the decorated trees in my town were very close together. So to get a picture with two lighted trees, I had to cross the river and press up on the control pad to see them both.

Two decorated cedar trees.I found the daily snowballs and pushed them together to make a perfect snowmam. Even though I may build some bingo snowmen at some point soon, the snowmams will be my focus. It provides the best opportunity for making money.

Snowmam: Oh my! I wonder who made this perfectly sculpted figure of mine!A bit later, the northern lights started appearing in the sky over Forest.

The northern lights over my museum.I stopped at the Dream Suite to update my dream town, and Luna told me that Grace from Aquoise was my most recent dream visitor. I then returned to town and enjoyed the northern lights from several different locations.

Northern lights over Re-Tail.Northern lights over town hall.Down on the beach, I woke up an unconscious Gulliver. He told me he was headed to the home of Big Ben, so I knew he was headed to London, England. He’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.

Gulliver: I'm going there, but I'll need to make sure I don't fall off London Bridge! You know me and water!Before wrapping up my game for the night, I took one last picture of the northern lights from the beach.

The view of the northern lights from the beach.I’ll see you all next time!

Sunday Snowy Sunday

This morning, Big Top tried to tell me he was moving out of town on December 19th. Not so fast, big guy…

Big Top: Oh, Mr. J! Don't freak out, but I'm planning on moving away on the 19th of this month.When I found Joan, she was selling turnips for 109 bells each. I believe that’s the maximum amount she can charge…ouch. So much for a holiday discount. I bought 3,000 turnips from her.

Joan: The asking price is 109 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?The Able Sisters finally had a Santa hat on sale, so I bought it to complete my Santa suit.

Buying the Santa hat to complete my outfit.
Does it make me look like a ho ho ho?

I also got my frosty ice brick pattern out of storage and used it as my path. The first version of that path is available on the QR Codes – Paths page, but I’ve added a white pixel to each corner to make the bricks look a bit rounded.

When I found the two snowballs in town today, I decided to build another snowmam. Even though my first one is still around, today is her last day in this world. The new snowmam talked about how I made her well, but she still wasn’t perfect. So she requires five snowflakes for ice furniture. Bummer.

Snowmam: I'm very pleased you made me with such beauty and refinement!Rolf asked me for an ocean fish, so I went down to the sea to find him a fishy. I caught an olive flounder…good enough. I took it back to him and he rewarded me with a tropical tank! We’re in the middle of a blizzard, dude, I can’t wear this! You have a fur coat, so you could get away with it, but I can’t!

Rolf: Oh, right. I need to thank you! Please take my fancy tropical tank!I noticed I hadn’t seen much of Kabuki lately, so I went to see what was up with him. Turns out that he’s sick! Fortunately, the shop was still open, so I bought some medicine for him. Get well soon!

Kabuki: ...Thanks for that, bucko... Meooo-OH...

December Fishing Tournament

The December fishing tournament was held today, and many of the villagers were participating, or at least talking about the event.

Big Top: Here, fishy, fishy, fishy! I won't eat you, I promise!Amelia advised me to think like a fish. So I started making fish faces and saying “glub glub.”

Amelia: In order to catch a fish, you have to THINK like a fish.But she warned me that if I started smelling like a fish, I’ve gone too far. So I sniffed myself to make sure. Good news: I smelled like a sweaty Santa. What a relief.

Amelia: If you find yourself SMELLING like a fish, then you've taken it too far.As I made my way around town, I dug up a gyroid. That in itself isn’t all that noteworthy, but this time I noticed that it was a tootoid…a farting gyroid. I chose not to sniff it.

Look! I dug up a mini tootoid!But the reason the tootoid caught my attention was that I’ve long wanted a fourth tootoid to put in Club LOL. And now I have it. UPDATE: Actually, it turns out the third one is a mini dekkoid…so I still need one more tootoid. My bad!

Standing with the gyroids on stage.Back in town, I found two snowballs not too far from each other. I wanted to build a (bingo) snowman, but I made it too small and ended up with a snowboy instead. The good news was that he was perfect, so he’ll be sending me a piece of snowman furniture in the mail tomorrow.

Snowboy: This head! This body! This is exactly the perfect balance I love!Once I completed my walk around town, I went to get some fish for Chip. I caught one sea bass, but I mainly just used fish I already had at my dock box. I set the high score five times. Here’s a list of the fish I used, how big they were, and my reward for each:

  • sea bass, 34.95 inches — washbasin
  • sea bass, 37.75 inches — soda case
  • ribbon eel, 49.50 inches — crab clock
  • shark, 200.80 inches — exotic bureau
  • whale shark, 234.20 inches — sleek dresser

Chip: Mmm-hmm. Looks to be... 234.20 inches!So four of my five prizes were just regular furniture items. Disappointing.

Later on, I attended the ceremony, where I was awarded the gold fishing trophy. Agent S finished in second place, while Amelia came in third.

The fishing tournament winners' ceremony.Shortly before 9:00, I spotted the northern lights for the first time this winter.

The northern lights above Re-Tail.The northern lights above the train station.I then finished up my night with K.K.; he performed Surfin’ K.K. for me at Club LOL.
