Gossip Girl

Thanks to my earnings from the latest Flea Market I was able to make a lump sum donation to the Alleria Town Fund. 200,000 bells has bought our town a new bridge!

As mentioned previously, I've been nervous about the bridge placement. I've seen pictures of the options in other peoples towns where the new bridge can only be placed next to existing bridges. What a waste! Fortunately, while my options weren't stellar, they were okay.

I chose the one on top. It might prove to be useful, as I don't currently have a pathway where the new bridge will leave the island. (I call the island Merry Island since she seems to think she's special enough to plop her house there, haha.)

June came and went quickly and now we find ourselves in the beginning of July! Wow! Bugs....everywhere! On Wednesday, I got this message on my board:

Even though the rain means no watering, I'll be glad when the hot weather shows up. I'm ready to have an actual chance to catch the tarantula and scorpion! Speaking of the tarantula, I saw him last night as I was moving flowers around. I had the perfect opportunity to catch the guy as I snuck up, watched his movements but I made one wrong step and he scuttled off not to be found again. It was so weird to be standing perfectly still watching the giant spider circle me! I even pulled my net out at one point but chickened out as he started to turn towards me. Argh. I need the courage to just pull it out and give it a chance!
Tarantula and scorpions aside, there are bugs GALORE. It's actually loud in town...when it's not raining.


I caught most of these guys when it was raining and they weren't making any noise. They all look the same!

Chrissy was more excited than I was.
Thanks to the onslaught of insects, the bug portion of the museum is filling up quickly and Blathers is one part disgusted and one part excited.


Now on to the more interesting stuff....town gossip!
Remember when Chrissy was sick and she was being all dramatic, telling me to say good-bye to Marcel for her? Well, Marcel came down with a cold and gave me a message to send to Chrissy.

Is it just me or do I sense a romance between the two? They're on their 'death beds' of their respective illnesses and they both want the other to know....how sweet. I'll be on the watch for more clues <3.
Merry spotted Blanca in town the other day and had a lot to say about the mysterious face-less kitty.

Oh, Merry. Always the fashionista.
And we already have a new neighbor who has replaced Rhonda! That's right, Kiki moved in and plopped herself down right in Rhonda's old spot next to me. When I walked in to introduce myself, she was staring out the window at my house.

Kind of creepy.
She's a cat...but with a pig-like nose.

Yup creepy.
She seems nice enough but I was really hoping my recruiting efforts would pay off and Chevre would move in. No dice.

Fishing buddies
My dear friend Static got a little jealous when he heard about mine and Antonios' photo shoot. So he went out of his way to find a casual shirt (like me) and we posed for a photo. I love this picture.
Avery continues to surprise me with his giant chest. This time, as I was making my way to the museum, I spotted a giant K.K. face staring towards me. Eeek!

I couldn't get a picture quick enough but imagine not seeing Averys' face, just that giant head of K.K.!
Chrissy, the drama lover, came to me and told me she was moving yesterday.

It didn't take any convincing to stay at all before she already changed her mind.

*sigh* Chrissy: The Alleria Attention Whore
Avery made a strange comment to me yesterday:

Whaaaat?!
This made me think...what if I was living in a village of furries?!
AH! EW!
And last but definitely not least, another one to file under the Marcel Adorable Files:

Ohhhhh Marcel. The plague?! Really?
I love him.

Oh! One more! I like this picture just because of it's awful timing:

The Alleria Curse

I am not making this up.
Pompom left and in her place, I mean EXACTLY in the same spot as her place, this young lady showed up. Mallary. Aaaaaaaaaaaa duck.
Having thought the Alleria Duck Hunt was a success (never mind complete), this cruel cruel joke was played on me. Or maaaaaaybe Alleria is positioned perfectly in the migration path, making this a great stop over for traveling ducks. Either way, I am not happy. The Alleria Curse is ducks.
Here we go again.

Other than that 'exciting' tidbit of news, all is quiet in Alleria. No visitors for awhile save for the first visit from Blanca.

It was a surprise to see her finally show up. I wasn't sure if she would or not. You see, in previous experiences I've had to pick up the phone and ban her from coming through the town gates because she did so to the point of annoyment (that's not a word, is it?). Anyhow, I was kind of glad to be able to say I've met her. So....I've met Blanca. There.

Even with nothing exciting happening around town, I've still managed to slack when it comes to catching new fish and bugs. Even so, it was hard to miss this one.

Little booger moves pretty fast. I also managed to catch the pond skater but haven't got a chance to grab the diving beetle. I think I saw one once but I was doing something or other and didn't track it down.

Even though I'm the only one that plays, there is a secret resident of Alleria who only awakens if I need to replace a pattern on the pathways. My boyfriends character, Rob. I woke him up the other day for something and noticed the sexy bed hair.

Once fully awake, Rob took a trip into the city to learn an emotion and get a balloon from Phineas. We tried to take a picture of a sad disheveled man holding a balloon (artsy, ya know?) but these are as close as we could get:


The last one looks like he dropped a coin and is looking for it.

Avery has been spending a lot of time at the Roost.

Two different days and in the same spot. Maybe he's becoming a regular? Or he enjoys Brewsters' company? Either way I spent a good 10 minutes searching for him in town.


Let's see....
Oh. Here's a bit of useless trivia. The pink zap suit outfit clearly matches many members of the AC community.

Here I am, clearly resembling Vladimir......


Pink 'lil Chrissy and her yellow tuft of hair match the outfit.....


Blanca looked a bit like a heroine....


Even manly manly Snake! Apparently, pink with yellow accent is all the rage in Alleria.
Although, it did seem to depress Snake that he resembled a girl.

No, I'm just kidding. He was sick that day.

Before we wrap things up, the Alleria Chamber of Commerce has a message:

Huh. Even I didn't know that.
