Today, Kidd sent me a letter talking about how he’s lonely and has a broken heart. You’re telling me this why??

I checked one of my existing snowmen, and he rolled a #36 for me. That gave a bingo!

My prize was this curling stone:

Since it was snowing, I decided to make a snowmam today; I wanted to trade in the snowflakes that I caught. It wasn’t a perfect snowmam though, so she required five snowflakes instead of three.

As I ran around town, I kept falling on my face. It was very annoying.

So I went up to Katrina’s shop to get my fortune read.

After talking about Katie, she told me I needed a unisex accessory. I tried putting on my Majora’s Mask, but it didn’t help.

Anyway, I decided to play around with the net glitch some more. I used it to get on top of Re-Tail…

…and the police station.

Later on, Patty invited me over to her town Columbus. The main room of her house has the ice set, just like mine. We watched a little TV.

Her path is made of gold bricks from Super Mario Bros. 3! Pretty cool. In SMB3, always loved the World 7 Fortress 1 level. It has a huge room full of those bricks…which can turn into a ton of coins if you find the hidden P-switch!

We went out to the island and did a few tours, including the Easy Labyrinth Tour. I’m glad she chose the easy one, because I have trouble completing the regular one, let alone the “master” one.

We also caught some bugs and fish before returning to the mainland (and I went home soon after that). Back in my town, one of my villagers mentioned a guy on the beach. I’m glad they did, because I forgot to check down there today! Gulliver was there, and he is headed off to India. I’ll get a present from him in the mail tomorrow.

This morning, I tracked down Joan to buy some turnips. She was selling them for 92 bells apiece, so I bought 1,200 of them.

I met up with Molly later on, and she offered to trade robo furniture with me. Sure, why not?

When I worked at the cafe, I saw a new animal come in for coffee: Cherry the dog. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her before, even in pictures online!

Afterwards, I built a new snowman and he gave me a new number. I ended up with a triple ding; that means I’m one number away from a bingo in three separate ways. It’s even more rare than an actual bingo, so my bingo card is starting to resemble swiss cheese.

I bumped into Kidd, and–just like this past Friday–he offered me a painting for exactly 7,056 bells. But this time, it was a basic painting instead of a nice painting. I still don’t have a basic painting in the museum, so it was an easy decision to buy this one too.

Right behind Kidd was Tammy, who was fishing. I spoke with her and she talked about how funny it would be if a fish cast a line up on land, with a piece of pizza on it. That would be hard to resist.

I found a lost item on the ground, so I began asking my villagers if it belonged to them. I eventually found the item’s owner when I went in Tia’s house (which is looking really nice, by the way). She rewarded me with a red tie-dye tee.

I then headed up to the museum. First, I put my fishing trophy from yesterday in my trophy room.

And then I donated the basic painting; it was a real painting once again! Kidd rocks!

“The Blue Boy.” He later grew up to found the Blue Man Group.

Big Top invited me over to his house, and I had to pick a time. I really hate these planned visits, but I’m desperate for Big Top’s picture, so I don’t want to refuse him. I met him at 3:30, and he offered to sell me an item from his house. So I asked about the coelacanth sitting by the window.

He didn’t want to sell it because it’s like a brother to him. Okay, fine, fair enough. But then he told me I should catch my own!

Excuse me? I am the one who caught that coelacanth in the first place, buddy!

But interestingly, Big Top said the same thing about his stringfish and even his sea bass!

He must have a lot of brothers.

When I went up to the second floor of the Emporium, I briefly mistook Harry and Timmy for a father and son.

After I was done shopping, I decided to go around town taking some pictures.

Since it was a nice, mostly sunny day, I thought it would be a good time to take a bunch of wintertime pictures for my town page. So check that out if you’d like to see how Forest is looking these days.

Tom allowed me to visit his town to grab a bingo number today, and while I was there, I did some glitching. I first went onto the tracks and then glitched down below.

Once I got down to the “void,” I was able to walk under the ocean. Tom was swimming there, and I could see his bubbles and ripples.

He told me to come up on the sand, and he dug holes for me to fall in. After being “pitfall’d” basically, I was then up on solid land again. To him, I appeared out of nowhere as coming up through the hole. He said he got to witness my birth, much like I witnessed his in August when our roles were reversed.

After that, he ended the party and I returned to Forest. I got a letter from Gulliver in Denmark; he sent me this mermaid statue.

When I spoke with Big Top, he told me about his bedtime routine. It had me rolling.

The fishing tournament was held today, so Chip was over at the event plaza asking for horse mackerels. I gave him my 18.75 inch fish and he was impressed.

He rewarded me with this octopus chair.

After 6:00, I returned to the event plaza and Chip tried to kidnap me told me go inside his tent.

I won the tournament, so I got this gold fish trophy. Tia got second place and Aurora got third.

Afterwards, my villagers congratulated me on the win.

And later on, I went up to Club LOL to see K.K. perform. I recently heard a new (secret) song in a StreetPass house called K.K. Stroll, so I requested it tonight.

When I returned from Main Street, some animals were mentioning Phineas. So I went looking around for him. Once I found him, he gave me the K.K. Slider Fanboy badge.
