Dreaming of Anville

Today’s good news? It was snowing, so I didn’t have to water my flowers. The bad news? I was having a bad luck day and kept falling on my face.

Me falling on my face.When I worked at the cafe today, I saw a new villager I don’t think I’ve ever seen before: It was Keaton the eagle.

Keaton: Can you get me some coffee? Let's see... Oh, no sugar in it! I eat enough sugar as it is.I found a lost item on the beach, and I picked it up. I was hoping it would get me a villager picture, so I started asking around. But it didn’t take long, because it belonged to Tabby again. It seems like the lost items are almost always hers! Quit losing everything, you dumb cat!

Tabby: It is SUCH a big relief to get that back, I'm evil.I decided to make a dream visit to Olivia’s town Anville (dream address 6900-2923-1084). She has some really nice tiles and paths in her town.

Path tiles in Anville.And she has Fauna the deer, who is (along with Molly and Lolly) one of the cutest animals in the game.

Fauna: I was wondering why I didn't recognize you. It's because you're from a different town!Anville is apparently set in the spring, with all the pink trees.

I sit on a yellow bench and enjoy the pink trees in Anville.Look, I’m on 3DS!

A Christmas themed room that's already for the new year with a large 2014 spelled out in number lamps.I enjoyed my visit to her dream town of Anville, but eventually I returned to Forest. When I did, Skye (the wolf) told me she was going to move out of town on the 10th of this month! Oh no, no, no, not allowed! Not until I get your picture.

Skye: On the 10th of this month, I'm venturing out into the world.Since my buddy Rolf was still sick, I bought some medicine for him once again.

Rolf gulps down the medicine that I gave him.And a bit later, Skye (the human) asked to drop off Katie in my town. So I opened my gate momentarily for that.

Katie: Thanks for bringing me here!After that, I finished up for the night. See you all next time!

Pitfalling Tabby

Tammy was talking about Jingle today, but it didn’t sound like she had a positive opinion of him…

Tammy: He's got two horns, fluffy, brown fur, and a strong profile...My lost and found was filling up with pitfall seeds, so I took a couple of them just so there would be space for other items. And when I went outside, I saw Tabby…and I thought…why should these pitfalls go to waste?

Animated GIF of Tabby falling into a pitfall.I was able to buy some medicine for Rolf today, so I took that to him. Hopefully he’ll start to feel better soon.

Rolf takes his medicine.He apologized for all the trouble he’s causing, but he’s not causing trouble at all. I don’t recall ever seeing him this sad and pathetic before.

Rolf: ...I'm very sorry...for all the trouble I'm causing you...I’ve noticed I have a blue pansy over by my park area. It looks really nice, and it’s quite a bit different from how blue pansies looked in City Folk. I’m wondering if I should move it closer to my house, but I’m still undecided.

A blue pansy that popped up in my park.Not a lot was going on in town today, so I took a trip out to the island. I think Kapp’n has the wrong idea about me.

I've a nice face, it be true, chiseled abs, and fancy hair. But I'm smart! I gots heart! I gots feelings! I gots lots to share!I went on the market-value bug tour, but I wasn’t finding many bugs. A bronze Tortimer award was the best I could do, sadly.

Later on, I went to Club LOL to get a new song from K.K.; he performed Surfin’ K.K. for me. But my former villager Harry was up in his face the whole time. It was kind of funny.

Harry up in the face of K.K. as he performs.One other thing I’d like to point out. Beth has submitted another version of her Santa dress, this time with sleeves. It’s available on the QR Codes page if you’re interested.

Catching a Snowflake

I got the valiant statue in the mail from Crazy Redd today, but when I took it to the museum, Blathers informed me that it’s a fake!

Blathers: Oh dear! Upon closer examination, I have grave news to share with you, Jeff! It's a fake!Today was Naughty or Nice day in European/Australian versions of the game. I didn’t get to attend the festival, but my friend Skye (the human, not the wolf) gave me her holiday stocking from the event. Thanks, Skye!

A holiday stocking from Naughty or Nice Day.Soon after that, I had a problem trying to take a photo. I got the dreaded “the photo limit has been reached” error message again. So I stopped playing until I was able to move my pictures over onto my computer. By the time I resumed playing, it was after midnight…and it was snowing.

Snow falling outside my house in Forest.The lost and found at the police station had this ghost umbrella that I snatched up.

Me holding a ghost umbrella in the snow.And while I was near the edge of the cliff, I heard a jingling sound and noticed a large snowflake.

A large snowflake floating around.It went down towards the beach, but I followed it down, got my net out, and caught my first snowflake!

Wow! A snowflake! I should be gentle with it so it doesn't melt!You can’t put a snowflake into storage, but you can show it off (like a bug), release it, or sell it for 500 bells.

Reese: Ooh, a snowflake! I can take that item off your hands for 500 bells, if that's OK?I went to visit Rolf, and he ever so subtly let me know he was sick. Cough cough cough cough cough.

Rolf: Cough cough. Cough cough cough!However, T&T Emporium closed at midnight, so I couldn’t buy him any medicine! I’ll have to pick some up tomorrow, if he survives that long. 😛

T&T Emporium. Hours: 9 a.m. until 12 a.m.I had a gem rock today, and it gave me two gold nuggets. Along with one from storage, I gave them to Cyrus and he turned them into a golden bed. It’s not a piece I needed, but oh well.

Take home the golden bed?And before I ended my night, I spoke with Big Top near my fountain. He commented on how pretty the illuminated tree looks.

Big Top: The illuminated tree sure is pretty!And in case you missed it, I took a dream adventure to a town called Clue, which is based on the board game of the same name. It’s a cool town to visit if you’re familiar with the board game, so be sure to check it out!
