It was a rainy day here in Forest. After checking today’s turnip prices (89 bells) at Re-Tail, I ran into Benedict outside. He told me that he was moving out of town on the 19th of this month.
I didn’t try to stop him. I saved him last time, but if he wants to leave again, so be it. He’s not a bad villager, but he’s not one of my favorites.
Aurora approached me with a new nickname, J-bot.
I’ve had that nickname in City Folk numerous times, and I don’t mind it. But seriously, what is up with her huge red eyes? She almost looks like Ruby in that picture. Try some Visine or something.
I was doing some river fishing, and I found out that soft-shelled turtles sell for 3,750 bells. That’s a nice chunk of change.
My fishing was generating more bells than I thought it would, so I was able to pay off my latest house expansion. I chose to expand my left (sleek) room next, and it will be done tomorrow.
Down on the beach, Gulliver was asking me about his next destination. He mentioned spicy foods and tae kwon-do. I knew it was an Asian country, but I wasn’t sure which one. I guessed South Korea, and it was correct. He’ll be sending me a gift from there tomorrow.
When I talked to Kidd up by my bridge, he suggested a new public works project (PWP): a cube sculpture!
I went in town hall to take a look at it, and it’s really cool! It’s a black cube that stands on end and spins around! I think I’ll be putting this in soon. I’ll just need to find a good spot for it.
And as I continued fishing, I caught two new fish. I donated my new catches, a salmon and a king salmon, to my museum.
And Rolf told me that after seeing my face, he’s ready to start a new day…up a tree. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but it doesn’t exactly sound like a compliment.
Over at the campsite, Filbert was camping out.
The Able Sisters had a big bro’s shirt, so I bought it. And I look marvelous.
Later in the day, I started up the game again and I was greeted by Pete at my door. He gave me a new DLC, the festival lantern.
I was lucky enough to get four StreetPasses today (believe me, that’s extremely rare) and three of them had New Leaf. So I had three new homes in the Happy Homes Showcase to check out. One of them belonged to Dan from Merrland, a person I had StreetPassed before. So he gave me an indigo balloon!
Dan’s main room was…unique. He had a one lamp and a zero lamp in there. Curiously, the one lamp could be ordered for 1,200 bells, while the zero lamp costs 12,000 bells to order! And of course, the zero lamp was the one I needed. I ordered it and the sleek sideboard. Interestingly, his side and back rooms are blocked off. What are you hiding back there, Dan?
I also ordered his spherical radar. Pretty cool.
One of the other StreetPass homes belonged to Zygona from Reapvile. My favorite room of hers was this comic shop.
The other StreetPass home belonged to Tinder from Lavender. He is apparently a new player, since there wasn’t much in his house yet.
I don’t get very many StreetPasses normally, but it was nice to get a few for a change. That’s all for tonight, but I’ll be back with another update tomorrow. Hope to see you then!
My exhibit room at the museum is filling up with all of these Gulliver items. Either I’m going to have to start lining them up shoulder-to-shoulder with no spaces in between or I’m going to need a second exhibit room for all of these world wonders.
She said a women’s top is the key to unlocking my good fortune? Why is she trying to make a cross-dresser out of me??
Back on Earth, Canberra invited me over to her house. I said no.
I then saw a big fish shadow in the river and fished it out. It was a pike! That was my first pike, so I donated it to the museum.
And for some reason, Benedict wanted me to display fossils 
And finally, I went to Club LOL after 8 p.m. to hear some live music from K.K. I asked for a random song, and he performed K.K. Adventure for me. Unfortunately, I had to listen to it while Tabby was there in the club as well. Shouldn’t she be out rotting in a pitfall seed somewhere?
