Tabby’s Mean Trick

Good news, everyone! Tabby told me she was going to move out of town on the 14th of this month!

Tabby: I know this is super sudden, but I've decided to move away on the 14th of this month!I happily told her goodbye. But then something bad happened. She thought I was sad for some reason, and she instantly changed her mind! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Tabby: Now I'm so sad! I can't leave with you feeling like this! Oh, forget it! I'm NOT moving!This is awful news. I’ve been trying to get rid of her, Tammy, or even Benedict (even though I like him, I already have his picture) and I finally had a chance to get rid of Tabby and she jerks me around like this! Not cool! Maybe our “friendship” rating is too high? I tried to correct that by pitfalling the lying witch.

Tabby: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Who in the WORLD dug a pitfall right here where I was walking?!Then I got my net out and started beating her with it. And that’s why you don’t not leave.

Tabby: Why would you keep smacking me like that, I'm evil?One of these days, I’m going to get a camper I like and I won’t have room for them. I’ve had ten residents since October, and I can’t get rid of any of the animals I dislike!

Anyway, I went up to T&T Emporium and noticed they had a yellow glow wand. Maybe they’ve been selling these all month, but this is the first time I’ve noticed. Since I stopped buying cookies months ago, I tend to ignore that whole part of the store.

Tommy: Ah, a yellow glow wand! A fine item, yes?I bought it, but unfortunately you can’t use it as a weapon. I wouldn’t mind leaving a star-shaped imprint on Tabby’s forehead. And back, shoulders, legs, and tail.

Rolf: ...Argh. Tastes nasty!And there was a message posted on the bulletin board telling about the upcoming snowstorm. It’s supposed to hit tomorrow, which means snow will cover the ground on Wednesday.

~ Snow Warning ~ A large cold front is moving in, and a large snowstorm is expected for tomorrow.Luna told me that Molly from Kisle recently enjoyed my dream town–thanks, Molly! And Kidd asked me to collect signatures for Love-Thy-Hairstyle Day. And I’ve checked numerous times this evening, but there haven’t been any open gates all night. I’ll check again another couple times before I go to bed, and I’ll update tomorrow if anything works out.

UPDATE: I saw Dom’s gate open (to the town of Jambell), but I was unable to connect. Thanks for trying anyway, Dom, if you opened specifically because of this. I probably need a new router (even though my current one isn’t that old).

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?

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.
