I was working at the cafe today when Kapp’n came in. He said “Gimme you know what!” Knowing Kapp’n, it’s hard to know what’s going on in that mind of his. But I made him some coffee and he seemed pleased with it. *whew*
After that, I went to introduce myself to my newest resident in town, Alli.
Maybe the mayor of her old town didn’t just barge into her house unannounced. But Alli said her boxes will be unpacked tomorrow, so I let her get back to work.
Outside, I ran into Tex. He told me he needs his fill of “killer” every now and then. I’ll be glad to help you with that.
He told me that Tabby left something at his house the other day. Hmm, interesting.
So I took the package over to Tabby. She opens it up, and it’s her shirt! Tabby left her shirt at Tex’s house? Wow… I guess Timmy & Tommy aren’t the only “T&T” pair in town.
After doing the rest of my daily chores, I had earned enough to pay off my video screen! It will be complete tomorrow!
And as expected, I got a letter in the mail from Gulliver in Scotland. He sent me these bagpipes, which I added to my “world wonders” museum exhibit.
Later, Rolf invited me over to his house. He warned me about unknown smells.
When I was done visiting, I bumped into Tabby once again (it must be my lucky day). She asked for some new furniture. Since bugs were already swarming around her, I caught one (a mosquito) and handed it to her.
Of course, she actually liked it! Ugh! But on the bright side, she gave me a dice stereo in return. Any time you get a stereo for a mosquito, you’re doing pretty well.
After that, I made a quick trip to the island. I caught a golden stag there, and to my surprise, that was my first one! So I returned to town and donated it to the museum.
And finally, I have to pass on this bizarre video from Ray Sipe. It’s a song he made up about Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It may not be the best song, but it falls into the “so bad it’s good” category. It’s so absurd that it’s hard not to laugh. Remember, you’re the mayor. You, you, you! Enjoy.
There was a camper over at the campsite, so I went in the tent to see who it was. It was Truffles the pig. I have no interest in convincing her to move in.
I went around town watering my flowers, and I saw new construction. Alli the gator will be moving in tomorrow.
I’ve had 
I believe I only need one more to complete the fossil collection! But my good luck ended there, as I kept falling on my face all over town.
Copper informed me of off-shore storms that would blow in garbage from the sea. And sure enough, Gulliver was on the beach. After I woke him up, he started talking about a place with a lake-dwelling beastie. Ah, the Loch Ness Monster.
He also mentioned bagpipes, so it was obvious he was talking about Scotland. So he will be sending me a gift from Scotland tomorrow.
That wraps up today’s happenings, but I want to share a slideshow of pictures I took in the month of July.
I also got a “one lamp” in the mail, although now I can’t remember who sent it to me. I put it next to my nine lamp. These number lamps would be great to use on New Year’s, assuming you have all the numbers you need.
Over by the town tree, Isabelle told me that I can use custom designs for fireworks! How awesome is that?
I showed her my JVGS pattern and Wendy’s Jif logo pattern.
At 7:00, the fireworks festival began. I opened my gate, and my town quickly filled up. Dash, Wendy, and Annissa came over to visit. Of course we set off some of our own fireworks…
Wendy ran through the fire at one point, which reminded me of a scene from Arrested Development. I’m a monster!
But the main attraction is the big fireworks up in the sky. There are big ones, little ones, and heart ones. The fireworks all looked really good.
And of course there were the custom fireworks as well.
Crazy Redd also had a concession stand, much 
Much like the fortune cookies you can buy from the Nooklings, these cookies can be eaten and they have a slip of paper inside. Most of them will be “dud prizes,” which aren’t winners. They can be exchanged for a firework such as a sparkler or Roman candle.
Wendy, Dash, and I sat at the town tree to view my town history as the fireworks continued in the background.
We also went over to my park near town hall and watched fireworks from there.
After that, we headed off to the island.
We went on an item-matching tour and a fishing tour. To my surprise, I actually won the fishing tour.
We then returned to town, and I bought some more cookies from Redd. This time, I got a whiz prize. I wasn’t sure what that meant (and it doesn’t sound good), but that’s actually what winning tickets are called. I won a ten billion barrel.
This is what it looks like:
I then ended the multiplayer session for the night. Even though the
