Weeding the Town

I started out my day with a full mail pocket. Claude gave me a birthday present but I didn’t open it last time. It was a yellow umbrella. How exciting! After emptying my mail pouch I got letters, one from the HRA that gave me a score of 5,297 points. “the size of your house is wasted. Why have all that space if you don’t fabullize it?” and the second one was from Nookington’s. They currently have a “stunning offer” on a cabana lamp. O-kay?

Bones made a bulletin board post:
“I buried my blue corner in one of the 3 acres. I don’t know why I did it; I was sleepwalking at the time. Finders keepers!
from Bones” Naturally I went up to A-3 to see if it was there, and it wasn’t. I kept searching, but along the way a mosquito bit me. I also talked to Carrie who asked why I disappeared from the face of the earth for over 12 months (yikes!) and thought I didn’t even know or care that she was searching for me for weeks.

I dug up a fossil and mailed it to the museum for assessment and plucked far too many weeds. I ran into Bones running around his front yard who told me he knows so much about food but not that much about furniture since it’s not edible. He asked me to sell him my tall lullaboid for 2,810 bells which seemed like an okay deal.

I’m gonna end my post here because I don’t feel like writing anymore. I’m also going to go on hiatus until September 1st in effort to make 1 post a day. See you then!

An Alternate Universe

Playing Animal Crossing during a pandemic is like peeking into an alternate universe since things are so different XD Anyways, welcome back, let’s get started.

I woke up this morning to a ton of presents in the mail since my birthday passed. Something funny was in my inventory: 2 sets of 5 August Raffle Tickets from last year! That’s right, the last time I played AC on the GameCube was August of last years, which literally feels like yesterday at this point.

I went into my house to find 7-8 cockroaches. Yikes! Someone gave me a soda machine (I don’t remember who, but whoever you are, thanks a lot!) so I put it in my house next to my stovetop.

I went outside and started walking around only to find a field of weeds! So, I ran around and got to work pulling out all the weeds…

I heard the clock bell 24 minutes late, so I checked the time and sure enough, It was behind by 24 minutes! I probably screwed stuff up by moving my gamecube around so I’ll fix that later.

On my weed-picking journey, I ran into Petunia who lengthily told me about the fireworks festival. Something that I miss about the old Animal Crossing games is that the conversations with villagers are actually quite long and interesting. In the new games, it seems like they just kind of say tutorial stuff so there’s not as much of a point in talking to villagers as there used to be. On another note, Ursala told me that Gracie’s fashion (an every other piece of clothing) looks perfect on her but a slouch like me could never look good in anything. a SLOUCH?! Jeez, I know it’s been 12 months since we talked but that doesn’t give you the right to harass me like that!

My inventory was full of bugs so I went to the museum to donate some of them. But all the bugs I had were already donated…

I went to sell the bugs to Nookington’s but my wallet was already full so Tom Nook had to pack it away in money bags. I now have a grand total of 102,399 bells! Wowie! I went upstairs to check the furniture for sale and there was a fridge and a ROCKET SHIP for sale! Holy crud!

I dug up an NES with Pinball from my basement and put it in my living room.

And that was the end of my weed-picking adventure of being insulted by a snooty snob. Come back tomorrow at 4:30PM EDT for more!
