Animal Crossing: Wild World
Dec 21st
So, I dug up a fossil this morning that I already had and after talking to Patty for ages until she mentioned she wanted one, I whipped it out and gave it to her.
She rewarded me with …a rare item? Nope! …a ton of cash? Nope! a rubbish 500 bells? Yes! Even Nook would give me more than that, I reckon. (If he wasn’t shut today.)
You know, I’ve been thinking about why Animal Crossing has the hold on otherwise relatively normal people and what makes two thirty-something men plan to meet up online to return a kitten to her lost mother… but I’m having real trouble finding an answer. If I do, I’ll let you know.
And talking of runaway kittens, Kaitlin’s back in town. Her kitten is in Sausages, apparently, so it looks like I’ll have to make more plans for a reunion. And it’s the kitten-end of things that gets the thank you, not me. I just get the mother out of my town for a while, which I suppose is a blessing in itself.

I’ve just been playing this online with my girlfriend, who is currently far, far away, while talking to her on the phone.
I love Nintendo.
No crashes, either, which was a bonus.
It would be nice if you could filter your friends list when opening your gates, though.

Argh!
Adrian was over and I’d dug up a fossil and it was one I’d got before, so I took it to Patty and she was so excited because I was making her lifetime dream come true when… BOOM! …the game crashed, kicking me out without saving.
So I reloaded offline, took the fossil to Blathers again and this time it was something different, one the museum didn’t have already. So poor old Patty is going to have a wait a while longer before getting her fossil.
Tried to go out, too, but nobody had their gate open. I’ve not been out for days, only had visitors.

So, I walk up to Patty and she’s wearing one of my designs. “Hooray!” I think, until she tells me it’s hideous and storms off.
And this on the morning that I got a nice leaving letter from Maple, saying that she’ll miss me.
And Nook’s only buying turnips for 72b.
I shouldn’t have got out of bed.

So, Kody came round to visit. He let me set the time, which was nice, and turned up on the dot. I like punctuality.
He wandered round, checking the place out, and then gave me a measly score of three stars out of five. Apparently, I don’t have enough stuff. What? The place is full. Maybe I need a bigger house.
Still, at least he said he “had a killer time, yo.”

I have a fishing trophy.
I’m so proud.
Would have been nice to have a proper ceremony and not just get it in the post, though.

I’ve just conducted a hate campaign against Olivia in Sausages. I do hope the animals show Rich my letters, or at least run her out of town.

Well, it seems I won the fishing tournament, but there was no presentation or anything at six. Where’s my trophy, eh?
And – sob! – Maple, one of the few people in town I like, is leaving. Something about a family crisis. Probably a bad break up, I reckon.

Oh glorious day!
I built a perfect snowman!
What a day to be alive!

Tortimer took my tuna!
My very first tuna. I caught it during the fishing tournament and showed it to the mayor and he took it, the bastard! I needed to donate that to the museum. Oh well, he did give me a boxing barricade for my trouble. Yeah, great. Still, the tuna should win the tournament, I hope. And I’m sure I’ll catch another one day…
Other than that, things have been quite succesful today. Big Top sold me his old arcade machine, which looks to be a fighter of some sort. It’s unplayable, but it looks cool. I bought 200 turnips at 98b each, so I’m going to have to check turnip prices all week. My house was upgraded this morning, so I’ve shoved a load of new stuff to fill it up. Found a wardrobe in the recycling, so I now have storage space. Nook finally had an axe in store, so I bought that. And my first non-native fruit trees were fully grown today, so I made a quick 10,000b selling the fruits to Nook.
