Teddy’s Near-Death Experience

I got a letter from the snowtyke in the mail, and he sent me this sleigh.

My new sleigh.I now have three of the four snowtyke items. I can’t wait to be done with him, because purposely making bad snowpeople hinders my ability to collect the other snowman items. But I did make a snowman today to get a new bingo card. Tom invited me over to his town to get a few bingo numbers stamped off my card. The northern lights were shining in the skies over Tomville.

The northern lights and Tom's snowmen.Angus also took notice of the aurora in the sky and he started getting deep on me.

Angus: Seeing stuff like that makes me ponder the secrets of the universe and what it means to be truly alive...Angus: Like, what if gravity doesn't exist? And the universe is like a big bowl and we just all sift to the bottom?!Angus: AH! My mind is blowing!When I returned to Forest, I saw that Marina was in the igloo.

Marina: Oh, hello! I heard a rumor that this was a lovely town to camp in, so here I am.I had the opportunity to ask her to move into town, but I declined the option. Marina is pretty cool (eight thumbs-up), but if I use my tenth villager spot on purpose, I want it to be someone I really, really want. Because I would feel awful if I asked Marina to move in, and then tomorrow Bob or Lolly was in the igloo. I like keeping my options open.

I decided to finally redecorate my upstairs room. The musical instruments and totem poles are gone now. In their place, I’m making a skiing themed room with items from the snowman and snowtyke. I kept the cloud flooring up there for now, because it doubles for snow quite nicely.

My frosty snow and skiing themed room.Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Jacob from the town of Black was my most recent dream visitor.

When I returned to town, Teddy told me a frightening story. He said everything went white, and then he saw an image of Tammy floating by! What a horrible near-death experience that must have been! If I saw Tammy in the light, I would turn back too!

Teddy: For a moment, everything went white! Then, beyond the light, I saw an image of Tammy floating by...
Obvious disclaimer: The picture of Tammy in the light is not an actual screenshot. The image came directly from Teddy’s warped mind.

At 10:00, I opened my gate for Friday Night Forest. Ryan came over, and we went up to Club LOL. Kidd and Fuchsia were in there on a date.

Fuchsia: Dude! Now that this ain't my turf anymore, I thought you were a bully trying to pick a fight or something!The four of us (and Shrunk) danced for a while.

Dancing at Club LOL.We hung out for a bit as I waited to see if anyone else would come. They didn’t, although Tiffiny told me she was trying to get in but couldn’t connect. So Ryan and I went out to the island and went on a few island tours. We started off with a dragonfly tour and a hammer tour. We got gold Tortimer awards for both, but Ryan beat me in both of those games.

Swinging our hammers on the tour.Tortimer: For your AMAZING performance, I'm happy to award you a Gold Tortimer award and 12 medals!We then went on a balloon-popping tour, and I beat Ryan for the only time of the night. We finished up with the ancient fish encoun-tour, where we had to catch the coelacanth and arapaima. I started out quick and took a little lead, but Ryan caught up to me and we finished tied. After that, we returned to Forest and I soon ended the party.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Lunar Horizon

Just a short update today. Saharah was in town, and she installed a classic carpet and a lunar horizon in my house. The lunar horizon is definitely a keeper.

The classic carpet and lunar horizon.After watering my flowers, I rolled up today’s snowballs and built a snowtyke. As planned, he was the only well-built member of his family.

Snowtyke: I hate to say it, but I'm the coolest-looking one in my family. Everyone else is just a little off.You get a different reward depending on how many of his other family members are built well (0, 1, 2, or 3). I already got the rewards for 3 and 2 (the snowman matryoshka and snow bunny), and tomorrow I should get the reward for 0. So I can finally build a new snowman tomorrow and get myself a bingo card again.

When I went up to Main Street, I found out that Golden from the town of New Leaf was my most recent dream visitor.

That’s all I have for today, but tomorrow is Friday Night Forest. So I’ll be back with a much longer update late tomorrow night.

Ryan Makes a Visit

Skye told me she was going to move out of town on the 12th of this month, but I quickly made her change her mind.

Skye: I was about to make a big decision based on a whim! Thanks so much for making me reconsider!When I spoke with her again, she showed me a letter that she received from Skye (the human):

Dear Skye, I like your name. -From SkyeI went to see Teddy and I saw that Kidd was also visiting him. Teddy told me he was jealous of plants because they grow like crazy. Well Teddy, you’ve grown pretty big yourself…

Teddy: I'm jealous of plants because they grow like crazy!And for the past few days, animals have been telling me Tabby was sick. I didn’t go to visit her though, until today. I have no plans of buying medicine for her.

Tabby: This c-c-cold... I'm going to be sick forever!I rolled up today’s snowballs and purposely built a bad snowboy. Tomorrow I’ll be able to make a new snowtyke and then I’ll be 75% done with his items.

Snowboy: You... You went with this size head, huh? Interesting choice.Ryan needed some signatures for a petition, so he asked me to open my gate. I’m glad to help out people on my roster when I can.

Ryan from Windfall has just arrived in Forest.So he went around town collecting the signatures. When he was done, I let him shop up at my stores, even though he didn’t find much he wanted (other than fertilizer).

I then asked if he wanted to check out my house. While he was in there, I noticed the  zodiac horse was a bobblehead. Ryan said that was the first thing he noticed about the horse. Oops.

Playing with the zodiac horse.While we were still in that room, I noticed Rolf’s pic over by my sleek stereo. That means I actually have five of them, not four!

My 5th Rolf pic.In my modern wood room, where I also have several items from the ski set, Ryan said the room looked like a ski lodge.

Jeff: Rolf's Ski LodgeBut I’m actually thinking about moving my ski set to my upstairs room. That room (with the musical instruments and totem poles) has been the same for a long time, and I think it’s overdue for a change. Of course I only have a few ski items so far, so it will be a while before I’m done with it.

Further down the road, I’m also considering changing up my basement. I may move the gold set to a museum exhibit, and I might put my emerald-enhanced modern set down there. But there’s no time frame for these changes, so don’t expect it to happen overnight.
