The final fireworks festival of the year occurred last night, and Beth invited me over to her town Acorn to watch them. Isabelle gave me a heart bopper, so I put it on as I enjoyed the show.<\/p>\n

\"WatchingThe fireworks ended pretty soon after I arrived, so we headed over to Forest to watch them there for a few minutes. Bob joined us in the Egyptian part of town, as the fireworks almost made the pyramid look like a big Christmas tree.<\/p>\n

\"MeI soon ended the session. I later found out that Tom had also invited me to his town for fireworks, but I got the message too late.<\/p>\n

Later on, I chatted with Bob after the fireworks festival was over. He enjoyed the show, and he thought they went out with a bang.<\/p>\n

\"Bob:And Crazy Redd looked about as depressed as I’ve ever seen him. Maybe he enjoys selling cookies more than he enjoys tricking people into buying forged pieces of art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Redd:In case you can’t tell by the fishing rod in my hands in those last two pictures, I’ve been doing a lot of fishing. I’ve been desperately trying to earn that Master Angler badge. Every fish I see, I try to catch. I was getting so sick of fishing that it was about to drive me crazy. Reel<\/em> crazy.<\/p>\n

But my fishing fatigue turned to euphoria when I spotted Phineas tonight. Since I noticed that the time was 6:59 p.m., I pushed him over to my modern clock (which lights up at the top of each hour) for a good picture. I spoke to Phineas, and indeed, he gave me the Master Angler badge for catching 5,000 fish. This is what I’ve been waiting for!<\/p>\n

\"ReceivingNow I don’t need to catch every fish I see! Now I can ignore these shadows in the river everywhere I go! The croaking of frogs won’t send me running to the pond with my rod out. I don’t need to use my fishing rod at all now, unless I see a shark or something. After all the fishing I’ve been doing lately, it’s such a big relief to be a master angler at last! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Saharah was also in town tonight, and she put in this backgammon wall and old board floor. I promptly sold them both at Re-Tail.<\/p>\n

\"ALuna told me my recent dream visitors have been Victor from Spectre and Melody from Hiraeth.<\/p>\n

Badge Talk<\/h5>\n

Here’s an updated look at my current badges, including my new Master Angler that had me hooked<\/em> for so long:<\/p>\n

\"MyI have six more gold badges to go. I’m going to talk about them briefly, listing them in the order I expect to receive them:<\/p>\n

Tycoon Bell Saver<\/strong>: This one requires 100 million bells in your bank account. I currently have over 79 million bells. It may take me a few months, but this will likely be my next badge.<\/p>\n

Master Shopper<\/strong>: I have no real way of knowing how close I am to this badge, but I do know that once I have the Tycoon Bell Saver, I’ll be able to spend that money in my bank account. And spending should help me earn this badge fairly quickly after getting the saving badge.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sandman<\/strong>: This one requires visiting 500 dream towns. Aside from the saving badge, this is the only other badge that I know my exact progress: I’ve been keeping track of dreams visited since I earned the silver badge. I’ve currently visited 264 dreams, so I have 236 to go. Once I finish going through my backlog of suggested dreams (which is now down to 72 after being around 150 at one point), I may just visit random towns to speed up the process.<\/p>\n

Space Traveler<\/strong>: This one requires me to make 500 visits to space<\/del> other towns. I actually don’t travel a whole lot, maybe just a couple visits to Acorn and\/or Arrested each week. Depending on how close I am, it could take me a good while.<\/p>\n

Weed Menace<\/strong>: This one requires you to pull a total of 5,000 weeds. I know I’ve already pulled over 2,000 of them, but only a few weeds appear in Forest each week. Beth has been saving the weeds in Arrested for me too, but this is likely to take me years.<\/p>\n

StreetPass Master<\/strong>: There is a very good chance that I will never earn this badge, and I’m okay with that. I don’t get a lot of StreetPass hits, and those that I do get, rarely have a New Leaf house. Maybe in 8-10 years I’ll get it…but by then, I’m sure everyone will have moved on to NX or another future system and won’t be carrying their 3DS around any more. So I’ll be surprised if I ever get this one.<\/p>\n

Even though I enjoy working towards badges in New Leaf, it becomes quite a tedious process after a while. At least now I can take a break from the endless fishing! See you all next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
