Shopping Run

I’ve been banging rocks lately, looking for a centipede. And last night, I finally caught one.

I caught a centipede! Impede the centipede!And today, as I was making my rounds, I spotted a lost item on the ground.

A lost item (a book) I found on the ground.Fortunately, it didn’t take me too long to find the rightful owner. It belonged to Big Top, who had written his name on the back of it. Why didn’t I think to look there?

Big Top: ...Hey! This is my book! See, I wrote my name on the back!After finishing up my tasks around town, I went up to Main Street to shop. T.I.Y. had a six lamp, which I bought. I want to get all of the number lamps so that I’ll have them if/when I need them. Certainly they’ll be helpful on New Year’s.

Tommy: I see you found our spotlight product of the day! Fance the lovely six lamp?And Tabby is apparently feeling better, since she was out shopping.

Tabby, in Able Sisters: Hurt me plenty! I was just out for a walk too, what am I?!But Tabby wasn’t the only animal I ran into in Able Sisters. Gabi was there too! And they started nibbling on my ears! Nooooooo!!

GIF of Tabby and Gabi nibbling my ears in Able Sisters.I was so horrified that I lost my mind for a while. To protect myself from evil creatures, I put a hamburger on my head. It made sense at the time.

Labelle: Wow, that's so cute and so wonderful!Over in Nook Homes, I decided to buy this white mailbox. My current one is red and doesn’t match my astro exterior very well.

Tom Nook: That white mailbox is a sample used when replacing your mailbox, yes?When I went back to town, Alli really insulted me. She said I look like a zombie!

Alli: Do you ever watch zombie movies, kiddo? Because you look like you're starring in one right now.
That made me so mad that I decided to eat her brain.

And then I helped Benedict out by trading one worthless item for another. But it made him happy.

Benedict: I was totally overheating, when you showed up and saved me by dumping a bucket of water on me!

Dead Perfect Peach Tree

Last night, Wendy came over for a brief visit. She used the ultra hand on me. Got your nose!

Getting my nose pinched by the ultra hand.Then today, my first perfect peach tree had a new batch of perfect peaches for me. But when I shook them down, the tree died!

My dead perfect peach tree.So I replanted one of the perfect peaches.

Big Top and Rolf were hanging out by my bridge. I talked to Big Top, and he asked me to make a delivery to Rolf. Sure, no problem!

Big Top: Oh, and could you please take care of this today?So I turned around and gave the package to Rolf.

Rolf: Huh?! Big Top really sent me something? Wonder why...I love easy deliveries like that. Anyway, I continued around town and I spotted a tent at the campsite. Anicotti the mouse was camping there. I don’t want her.

Anicotti: I bet you weren't expecting to see super-stylish ME here!Over by my town tree, I found two items that someone left on the ground from last night.

Jeff, after seeing items left behind on the ground: Litterbug...Just a tip for people on my roster, and this applies to ACCF as well as New Leaf. It may be nice to offer items to people, but if nobody wants them, pick them back up. Do not just leave them there, please.

I went over by my wind turbine to take a new picture for my town page. But then the blade hit me in the head.

A blade of my wind turbine appears to hit me in the head.Actually I’m kidding about that. A mosquito happened to bite me at the very instant that I took the picture. The blade can’t really hit you. 😛

Alli the gator was nearby, and when I spoke to her, she suggested a new public works project! Unfortunately, it’s just a yield sign.

Alli: A yield sign! You do agree, right? RIGHT?This is what it looks like. I have no plans on installing this in my town.

Yield sign PWP: 43,500 bells.After that, I went up to Main Street for my shopping run. In T.I.Y., I spotted yet another former villager of mine: Yuka! Yuck! It feels like I never escape Forest’s ugly past! Even though real-life koalas are cute, I’m not a big fan of them in Animal Crossing.

Yuka: Well, hello, Jeff! Out for a little shopping, I see?Well at least Katt hasn’t shown up on Main Street yet. But I did buy a new carpet and wallpaper for my back room. It’s not ideal and it’s not going to be permanent, but it looks better than what I had in there before.

The new wallpaper and carpeting I'm now using in my back room.Aurora asked me for some new furniture. I tried catching a fish (a black bass) and tried giving it to her. But she said she wanted something she didn’t already own. Oops. So I bought a hospital TV from Re-Tail (it was only 700 bells) and gave that to her instead. She thanked me and gave me a modern wood chest! This was a piece that I needed for my modern wood room, so that’s great news! Unfortunately, that room is still 4×4 and it’s very crowded in there. But once I expand it, it’s going to look really nice.

Aurora: Here's my modern wood chest! Thank you so much for helping me!A new SpotPass house was sent out by Nintendo today. It belongs to Reiko from Biscotti. Her main room is your typical library with a shark tank. Wait, what?

A shark tank in the library of the SpotPass home belonging to Reiko from Biscotti.The rest of the house was nice, but nothing particularly noteworthy…except the basement. Somebody better call Fire Marshall Bill, because this is a major fire hazard. A room filled with wheat fields, with an open flame next to a scarecrow. I think Reiko’s next home is going to be a tent.

Final Fireworks For 2013

As I headed to Re-Tail today, I spotted Phineas! He gave me the K.K. Slider Fan badge.

I got the K.K. Slider Fan badge! It was worth going to all those Saturday-night concerts!I also went to the Roost. I couldn’t work since today is an event day, but I spoke to Kapp’n. He was his usual weird self.

Kapp'n: Drinkin' hot coffee on purpose... On a hot day... Yar! That be what makes us men, ye know...? H-h-hot!And when I talked to Teddy, he told me an interesting tip. If you take a fossil to Cyrus at Re-Tail, he can turn it into a miniature! But you need to have all of the pieces of the fossil.

Teddy: If you take a fossil to Cyrus at Re-Tail...he'll remake it into a miniature!Over by my face-cutout standee, I saw a piece of furniture. But wherever did it come from? However, I had a strong feeling it was not a piece of furniture, but instead a walking leaf. They’ve fooled me enough in City Folk that it didn’t fool me this time. I got my net out, went up to it, and caught the little bugger!

I caught a walking leaf! I'm glad it can't run!And while talking to Molly, she gave me a blue tie-dye tee for free.

Molly: Um, boss. I want you to have my blue tie-dye tee.So I went ahead and put it on. I’m blue Jeff once again. I also talked to Aurora, and she told me that she slices her vegetables to the beat of K.K. Technopop. Interesting. Exactly what vegetables do penguins eat?

Aurora: I turn on K.K. Technopop and slide my veggies to the beat.Nintendo released a new Nintendo Zone DLC available in America today, so I picked up the new afternoon-tea set. Unfortunately, it can not be ordered from the catalog.

Afternoon-tea set: Not for sale.Then later, at 7:00, I opened up my gate for the final fireworks festival of the year. Tom41 and Daisy came over to visit. I made sure to get my star bopper from Isabelle.

Me wearing the star bopper I got from Isabelle at the fireworks festival.We bought some of Redd’s cookies, watched the fireworks in the sky, and set off some of our own.

Watching fireworks with Tom and Daisy at the fireworks festival.I also remembered to say goodbye to Tex. This was his last day in Forest.

Tex: After I leave...make sure everyone in Forest is well taken care of, killer! Thanks!Tom kept sneezing on me, so I got my net out and caught his cold.

Jeff, swinging a net at Tom: I caught a cold!A bit later, Tom showed us an invisibility glitch. I first pushed Tom and Daisy onto the tracks, then they ran all the way to the right. I’m not sure of the details since I couldn’t see them, but they soon “appeared” by the beach invisibly. I could see their emotions, and that’s it. After a couple minutes, Daisy appeared somehow. But Tom was still invisible.

Me and Daisy watch emotions coming from Tom, who was invisible on the beach.He ran around on the beach, and we could even see his footsteps. After several minutes, he told us if we dug a hole, he could “fall” into it and be visible again. So we did, and out of nowhere, Tom appeared in the hole.

Tom appears in a hole after being invisible.I felt like I had just witnessed his birth.

Jeff: I witnessed Tom's birth. :/After that, Tom had to leave. I bought some more cookies from Redd. I ended up winning a love tester and an ultra hand. Soon, Wendy came over to join in the fun. I had given Isabelle a stag beetle pattern (one of my default patterns), so it was displayed as a firework.

A stag beetle fireworks explodes in the air at the fireworks festival.We got disconnected at 8:00. I had been planning on ending around then anyway, so I didn’t reopen my gate. But one of my animals told me that Tabby was sick, so I thought I’d buy some medicine. And then not give it to her. In fact, I plopped in her bed myself. Tabby, please don’t look at me like that.

Tabby makes a weird face at me as I lie in her bed.She moped around, shivering and just being her gross self.

Tabby walks around shivering as I lie in her bed.She told she felt useless today. Just today? Anyway, I felt sorry for her and gave her the medicine.

Tabby: I'm useless today. C-c-come back another time, OK?I then returned home to take a look at all my new stuff for today. From front to back, just left of center, is my love tester, ultra hand, and afternoon-tea set.

My love tester, ultra hand, and afternoon-tea set on display in my house.That wrapped up my night in Animal Crossing New Leaf. But I have one other thing to show you all: my town page. It shows my town map, list of villagers, pictures of my public works projects, town history, dream address, and other info. I’ll be updating that page regularly, so I hope you’ll check it out from time to time. Thank you all for reading and I’ll be back tomorrow!
