The snowboy sent me a snowman chair today. I can’t wait until I’m done with this set.
Big Top didn’t give me his picture today, but he did give me a new nickname: Chap. Ugh.
By the way, Big Top is now on Twitter! His username is @bigtophero, so follow him if you dare.
I built another snowboy, and he turned out perfect. So I’ll be getting another piece of snowman furniture tomorrow. Over by my bridge, I noticed the sun was starting to set. So I took this picture.
Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Charlie from Banyan was my most recent dream visitor.
I then had an idea occur to me. I have 700+ island medals and I rarely spend them. So I thought, why not collect the mermaid and cabana furniture sets, and then give them away in a contest? It allows me to have the items added to my catalog (even though they can’t be reordered, there are badges for catalog completion percentage) without having the items go to waste.
So I did some island hopping and bought a few pieces of each set. Once I complete both sets, I’ll announce the contest details. You’ll be able to enter on JVGS and/or Tumblr. The winner will get to choose one of the sets, and the other will be given away in a future contest.
Anyway, as I was island hopping, I finally saw the silver axe at the gift shop! It’s the axe that will produce the (otherwise rare) tree stump patterns when you chop down a tree. It’s not unbreakable, but it will reportedly last four times longer than a regular axe.
I bought one for me, and a couple extras. I gave one away on Tumblr to the first person who responded. The winner was Leah, so I took the axe to her tonight.
As I was leaving, I saw that she had a meteor shower in her town. So I wished on a shooting star.
So I should be getting something from Wishy tomorrow. Anyway, that ended my night in Forest. But I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow, so be sure to check back!
Remember, you can find me on Facebook, Tumblr, Youtube, Twitter, and Pinterest. Please follow, like, or subscribe!
A few days ago, I realized I haven’t been getting the gem rock in a while. Then it hit me: When I got my golden shovel, I started using that instead of the silver shovel. And you need the silver shovel if you want gem rocks, so I put the gold one in storage and started using the silver one again. It paid off today, as I got my first gem rock in quite a while.
Since the gem rock gave me two gold nuggets, I also grabbed one out of storage so that Cyrus could make me a piece of golden furniture. But Molly saw my gold nuggets and wanted to trade a shirt for one. Sorry Molly, but no.
After giving my nuggets to Cyrus, I watered flowers around town. I also built a snowboy, and he was perfect this time.
When the time came, I returned to Re-Tail. Cyrus turned my nuggets into a golden woman. I already had a golden woman, but thanks anyway.
I spoke with Agent S, and she said she was trying out some new makeup techniques. I don’t think anyone can tell the difference when she’s always wearing that helmet of hers.
Later on, I saw that Tiffiny was opening her gate for some tours. So I headed over to her town Auctus, and it’s looking great as always.
Julio and Alex were also there. I love how she has the windmill behind the bench like this.
Once we got to the island, we did a bunch of tours, including a few bug-catching ones.
We also did an elite balloon hunt, better known as a falling-in-pitfalls tour.
I did pretty bad in the tours overall, especially the bug ones. The only tour I did well at was the ancient fish encoun-tour, where I tied with Tiffiny for first place. After several tours, I guess someone had to leave and they disconnected instead of returning to shore and leaving through the gate.
Outside, Molly saw me walking with a shovel and she was afraid I was going to pitfall her! I wouldn’t pitfall you, Molly!
There was an igloo at the campsite today, so I went in to check it out. Jay was inside, talking about how far he had to run to get to my town.
He gave me a snow machine. Just what I wanted!
I built another snowman so that I could get a new bingo card, and then Tom asked me to visit his town. Katie was in my town, so I tried to take her with me. But as she was boarding the train, she dropped her ticket.
She went out to pick it up, but it was too late. The train door shut and she couldn’t follow me.
I believe this happens if the destination town has already had Katie recently. It would be quite annoying if you kept getting her every day or two! She’s annoying enough as it is. Once I arrived in Tomville, Tom showed me his failed snowman. His friend Kippei also joined in.
We tried glitching onto Tom’s well, but we couldn’t get it to work. Tom’s Re-Tail was offering premium prices for peaches, but perfect peaches wouldn’t count towards the bonus.
Later on, I updated my town tune. Instead of Deck the Halls, I went with Saria’s Song from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I also made a new pattern, the Nintendo logo. It isn’t quite as sharp as I hoped, but there’s only so much you can do with 32 pixels of width.
If you’d like the pattern, you can scan it from the
