Velma’s Pocketknife

The fishing tournament was held today, but as usual, I missed out on it. 😛 But a message on the bulletin board informed me that Boots was the winner. Agent S finished in 2nd place, and Lolly was 3rd.

~Fishing Tourney Results~ Winner: Boots. Second: Agent S. Third: Lolly. Great work, everyone!

Speaking of Lolly, she proposed an interesting trade tonight. She wanted my silver nugget for her fresh tee. That’s right, a silver nugget for a T-shirt!

Lolly: So would you consider trading your silver nugget for my fresh tee?

Since I’m nice (to Lolly, at least), I agreed to the trade. But Lolly, I never want to hear you call me a bell-pincher again!

I updated my dream town for the first time in probably a month or two, and my dream visitor count has topped 3,000. It was 3,076 to be exact.

Luna: Records state the number of

Thanks to all who have visited! My recent dream visitors have been Bounty from Eel Cove, Kate from Asteria, and Jack from Rome.

I headed over to Club LOL for some Saturday night music, and I found Elise and Velma inside. Elise was sitting in the far-left seat, just like she was last week! And Velma said she was looking for a pocketknife! Yikes!

Velma: I was actually hoping to find a pocketknife...but I've spent most of my time window shopping.

I hope she wasn’t mad about the goat-eating greeting I gave Boots last week! If anything happens to me, please show this blog entry to Copper. It can be Exhibit A in the trial. RIP Jeff.

Once I sat down, K.K. Slider offered up some Stale Cupcakes. They were delicious. 😉

K.K.: Enough tuning--let's groove. This next one is for you, Jeff. It's called Stale Cupcakes.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend! Hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer for the next Nintendo Direct. It’s been about five months since the Animal Crossing Switch confirmation, so I’m hoping we get more some details soon.

Groundhog Day 2019

A message on the bulletin board informed me that January 27th (last Sunday) was Aurora’s birthday. But I missed it this year.

Boots asked me for a new greeting, so I told him to say “Let’s eat a goat.” It’s a reference to the first Jurassic Park. I’m not saying Boots is a dinosaur or anything, but…maybe he eats like one.

Boots: Let's eat a goat. Man, that is just perfect! It's so me!

Today was Groundhog Day, and Isabelle was standing over at the event plaza. She gave me a Resetti model for the occasion.

Isabelle: I'm not really sure about all the details, but apparently today is mole fortune-telling day.

I also checked out the faceboard and tried to be a mole. I guess I should have made an angry face like Resetti… wait, can I reset and try again? 😛

Jeff uses the face-cutout standee for Groundhog Day.

Agent S asked me for some fruit, so I shook a nearby durian tree. Oddly, I noticed one of the pieces of fruit hopped over an empty space. At first, I thought maybe there was something buried in that spot, but that wasn’t the case. And when I tried to dig there anywhere, the game wouldn’t let me! (It’s the spot directly above the rock.)

Jeff tries to dig a hole...and fails.

There wasn’t a pattern placed there, either. So I really have no idea why that space was off-limits to me. Anyone have an idea? By the way, after making a trip around town, it later let me dig there. So maybe it was just a temporary glitch. Still weird, though. I don’t recall having that happen to me before.

I went up to Club LOL to catch K.K.’s Saturday night performance. Elise and Hamlet were also in there, and K.K. played K.K. Love Song for us.

In case you’re wondering if Festivale is coming up, it’s actually not until March 4th this year. That’s the latest date it’s occurred on since New Leaf’s release! See my Festivale Guide for more info.

My recent dream visitors have been Songyi from Starpool, Dylan from Fuzztown, and Tina from Nuveme. Thanks for stopping by!

Update: Here is a new Animal Crossing video for you to enjoy. It’s not about New Leaf specifically, but it shows 13 things I’d like to see in the upcoming Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch.

Vivian’s Birthday

On Thursday night, I scanned my Blathers Amiibo and, with Wisp’s help, called him over to the campground. His RV has a diamond pattern that matches his vest, and there’s even a bow tie on it!

And this is a look at the inside. I really like that museum clock, and I ordered one for myself.

Even though he’s camping (though admittedly I forced him into it), he’s not really a fan of the outdoors. He won’t even roast a marshmallow!

Blathers: Hooo... Oh, dearie me, no... I'm not going to sit by the fire, let alone roast a marshmallow on it!

Once I was done with the visit, I headed back to the museum to see Wisp at his new job. 😛 Of course he doesn’t actually do any work, but at least I can still visit the museum.

Tonight, I spotted the northern lights up in the sky.

Today is Vivian’s birthday, and I gave her a space heater as a present. She didn’t seem to care for it.

Vivian: But it's the thought that counts. Thank you, Mr. J!

Lolly was also in attendance to help Vivian celebrate.

Lolly: Vivian seems to be having a great time! I think we can call this a successful birthday party.

Vivian said she was a lucky wolf to have friends like me and Lolly.

Vivian: I'm a pretty lucky wolf to have such good friends. I love you guys!

I’ve noticed that Amazon has a new Animal Crossing sticker book that includes over 800 stickers! Has anyone bought one? If so, please leave a comment and let us know how it is.

Luna informed me that my recent dream visitors have been Karina from Afrika, Grasyn from Albion, and Lola from O ekaki. Thanks for stopping by!
