Late last night, I had a little chat with Molly.
Big Top was upset because he couldn’t wait for the next Animal Intersection game to come out.
Molly told me something very interesting about Cyrus at Re-Tail. Apparently if you take a song and a giant clam shell to him, he can make a music box out of them!
And today, Tom Nook expanded my upstairs room, so I went to check it out.
Outside, Big Top approached me and asked if I knew what a time capsule was. Haha, I guess this means he forgot about what I did to his last one. 😀
But he once again asked me to bury a time capsule, and this time I’ll be sure not to accidentally open it.
I then headed up to Club LOL. I gave Shrunk a cherry and he taught me the Shrunk Funk Shuffle!
The Shrunk Funk Shuffle is a ridiculous (and hilarious) little dance that’s sure to make people laugh. And that was the last emotion there is for me to learn, so my joke book is now complete.
He also gave me his hideous, tacky jacket. Naturally, it’s called Dr. Shrunk’s jacket.
I’m not a fan of Dr. Shrunk’s jacket, but that last emotion has already become one of my favorites.
Next, I went over to the Roost to work a shift. Coco came in from out of town for some coffee.
I did pretty good today (but not perfect) and earned some superb coffee beans. I went up to Main Street for a shopping run. The Able Sisters had a King Tut mask, so I bought it.
After I was done, I opened my gate for best friends so Wendy could come and shop too. She just happened to be dressed as Cleopatra, so I thought it would make a good picture if King Tut and Cleopatra posed by my pyramid.
I also showed her my funky Shrunk Funk Shuffle dance. It’s not every day you get to shake your butt for Cleopatra. She really seemed to enjoy it.
Later on, Molly approached me and said she wanted to move out of town!
Absolutely not! I wasn’t going to let her waddle away until the very next day, I stopped her right then and there!
That’s all for today, but I’ll back with more tomorrow. In the meantime, if you’d like to take a look a behind-the-scenes look at how the stalk market works, here’s a video from TheWarpZone that explains it all:
And over at Re-Tail, there was a large bookshelf for sale. And they’re not kidding, this thing is huge!
I made a quick stop at Club LOL; I gave Shrunk a mango and he taught me the daydreaming emotion. It’s basically an empty thought bubble.
I only need one more emotion and I’ll have them all! I should get it tomorrow, if I remember to play before 8 p.m.
I then headed over to the Roost to work a shift. My first three customers were regular villagers, whose orders I got perfect. Could I finally have a perfect day in the cafe? Not so fast. In walked Tom Nook for the first time.
The cafe uniform looks nice, but it does not go well with my basketball shorts. I’ll have to buy some pants to match it.
He gave me a Balloon Hunter badge, for popping a lot of balloons. I appreciate the fact that I’m getting a new badge of course, but is popping balloons really a skill that merits a reward?
I’m not sure which police station I’ll choose just yet. I do prefer the modern one, but it comes with Copper–and I would prefer Booker. Well, I’ll have to think about it.
She installed an autumn wall and a sand garden. It actually doesn’t look bad.
I decided to keep the autumn wall for now, although I changed the flooring back to my backyard lawn.
And before I was done playing for the night, I decided to check out the Happy Homes Showcase. To my surprise, two new homes were available there. They were apparently both from SpotPass: Rich from Ramburg and Krys from Clover. Rich’s house wasn’t anything spectacular (unless you like lots of gyroids), but Krys’ house was pretty cool. This is the main room:
The bathroom was also quite nice:
Last week, I put up a Youtube video showing a slideshow of pictures I took during the month of June. I actually forgot to embed the video in this blog, so if you haven’t seen it (or want to see it again), here you go:
As for today, I finally deleted my Dude and Dudette characters that I used to make my 
I then went south to see my new pyramid! It’s pretty cool, but the size isn’t exactly overwhelming.
As expected, you can see it from the beach…
…and the dock.
It looks nice though, and I’m happy with it. But I’m hoping my villagers will start suggesting some new projects now though!
So she asked me if she was supercute.
I told her no, but she wouldn’t hear it. Her denial fits right in with Forest’s new Egyptian theme. So she kept asking me over and over!
Eventually all the options were a form of “yes,” even if it was a sarcastic “Sure you are…” response, so I had to go with that. With that awkward discussion over with, I headed to town hall. It was time for the pyramid’s completion ceremony.
Next, I made a trip up to Main Street. I had received my calm painting in the mail from Crazy Redd, and it turned out to be real! So I donated it to the museum and had a look at it in the art gallery.
And in Nook Homes, I saw something I wanted…for the first time ever. I decided to splurge on the astro exterior.
In T.I.Y., I purchased some medicine for Aurora. She’s been sick, so I wanted to help her out.
My friend Wendy wanted to come over and shop, so I opened my gate briefly. She brought Katie with her.
After Wendy was done shopping, I closed the gate. I remembered that I still needed to feed Shrunk, so I took him a peach. He taught me the love emotion.
I only need two more emotions!
And I recently discovered that my modern clock project lights up each hour! During the hourly chimes, the empty middle part has rainbow-like lights that scroll diagonally. Even though the lights only last for 10 seconds or so, it’s a nice, surprising little feature.
UPDATE: I opened my gate tonight just before 11:00 to let some people see the modern clock light up in person. Unfortunately, we got disconnected at 10:59, so we missed it. I reopened my gate for an hour though. Wendy, Annissa, and Aaron came over. We joined up at my pyramid.
Wendy and Annissa trapped me there, so I tried to cut through the pyramid to escape. It didn’t work out so well.
After hanging out in my house for a while, we went to the island for two tours. I won the bug-catching one, probably due to a valuable butterfly I caught literally in the last second.
And we rushed back to Forest just before midnight, so we could all witness the modern clock lighting up.
After that, I ended the session for the night. I’ll be back with another update tomorrow.
