This evening, Octavian was talking about how much he enjoys the metal bench in town. He even admitted taking some long naps on it.

Today was Kidd’s last day in town, so I went to say goodbye to him. It’s sad to see him go, but he had a nice long run in Forest.

Amelia asked me to make a delivery to Drago, and I gladly agreed to take it to Forest’s resident dragon. The gift turned out to be a taiko drum.

Drago thanked me and gave me a blue jacket as a reward.

I met up with Octavian again, and he was talking about Madisyn. He said he got a “civic leader” vibe from her. I don’t know how he could possibly make that determination, considering animals only talk about things like bugs, fish, and napping. But suit yourself, octo-dude.

Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Alice from Opal was my most recent dream visitor.

Later on, JayJay from Forest (a different Forest, of course) came over to adopt Kidd.

I joked that Kidd would be able to re-use the same address labels.

Later on, I visited Big Top and found him sleeping in his house, dreaming of cookies in a tiny font.

But my conversation with him woke him up, of course. He told me he was going back to sleep so he could finish his dream (and the cookies, no doubt).

Sounds like a good idea. Good night, and sweet dreams to you!

To my surprise, the lost item from last night was still in my pockets today. So I continued asking around until I found the book’s owner, Molly.

She told me she’s had the book since she was little. That’s not saying much, because she’s still little!

Over by the coffee shop, Agent S was upset and crying. Why? Because a disco ball told her she’s not sparkly. Uhh, what? So I had to reassure her that she is indeed sparkly. Alrighty then.

After making my rounds, I delivered a basic painting to Sam from Old Town. Enjoy the painting, Sam!

Sprinkle had asked me for a zebra turkeyfish. Fortunately, I had one in my dock box, so it was an easy task to complete. (And I seriously love leaving fish and bugs in the dock box for exactly this reason). I took the fish to Sprinkle and she rewarded me with an armor suit.

I’ll be back with more tomorrow, so I hope to see you then! Have a good day, everyone!

The 3DS system does not automatically adjust the time when Daylight Saving Time begins or ends. And since I forgot to change the time before starting up my game today, it was already after noon (game-time), so I was unable to buy any turnips this week. I then put the game away and didn’t play it until much later tonight.

Rolf was over by the fountain, telling me he bought a salad bar on the spur of the moment. Haven’t we all done that?

He asked me to buy it from him for 2,400 bells and I reluctantly agreed.

I then found a lost item on the ground, just west of the event plaza.

However, Rolf and Octavian were the only villagers awake…and they both said it wasn’t theirs. So there wasn’t really anything I could do. I’ll have to keep the book for myself!

The time change really threw me off today, at least in Animal Crossing. I’ll have to set the time before playing tomorrow.

But I have another problem that’s much more serious. Not only has the rubber part of my 3DS circle pad completely worn off, but now the round plastic part underneath is cracking and breaking apart! What are these made out of, candy?! If it completely breaks off, I’m not going to be able to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf (or any other game that requires the circle pad) at all!

I hate the idea of buying a new system…I should not have to replace a system that I’ve only had for a year and a half! From what I’ve heard, repairs are almost as expensive as buying a new system…and they don’t even guarantee they’ll save your data! So I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet.
