What's New?

A lot.
Sorry for no update, a sprained knee sucks.
So here's what's up in Alleria!

• New Store!

More product, less time to sell.

• Special Visitors!

Ran all over town for Saharah and all I got was a robo-floor.


Phineas showed up three days in a row. I scored this pin wheel, a lavender balloon, and a cool blue bunny balloon!


K.K. gave me a cool new tune that is a welcome change in the house. No more Go K.K. Rider!


Of course Pascal shows up and I forget to hand him a scallop. No Pirate's Life for me...


Finally had some company in the Roost! Had coffee with Miranda and then Kapp'n showed up!


Chatted with Pete last week.


And got my DLC gift yesterday!

• New Catches!

Obviously it took me a couple tries. Running north and pulling out my net with the wii-remote directional pad was the winning strategy.


Marcel didn't believe me.


After hours and hours of searching, I finally caught the tuna. It's almost the end of tuna season so I was really excited about this.


After accidentally selling my last barred knifejaw, I caught one right after the tuna!


How awesome is that?!?!


Museum. Looking pretty full!

• New Tools!

Silver watering can.


Golden sling shot.

• New House Re-model!

So...tall!

And in other news.....


Yes! Go, go, go!
Astrid has been threatening to leave for what seems like ages. I've been whole-heartedly encouraging her to go. Anyyyyy day now, I'm hoping she'll be packed up and ready to go.
While I hate to say I don't like her, I do have to say she has been nicer than in past experiences living in the same town together.

Yeah. We'll remember you, Astrid. Now move on!

In other neighbor news, our dear buddy Static asked me over to his house! What a nice surprise!


But the small talk didn't last long. Static got down to why he actually invited me over: to buy his crap.

I went ahead and bought a folk guitar from him. As I was leaving, he stopped me to say this:

Awww, Static. He's just a little lonely. He's definitely one of my favorite current neighbors.

And that's about it. Spring is treating Alleria very well, growing lots of healthy fruit trees and lovely flowers. And we're always looking for new friends! Come visit us!

And remember:

Success is steady progress

Things are moving along quite nicely in Alleria.
We've welcomed our new neighbor Deena.

(Don't worry - she has eyes. Bad timing for the picture.)
It seems like she is fitting in and feeling comfortable already.


She seems nice. It's just weird that it appears she lives in a mans' gym.


Yesterday was a pretty big day in Alleria.
First off, it was our first spring shower.


The rain...it's almost soothing. I love how squishy the grass sounds, how the whole feel of the town changes when it's raining. I spent a large chunk of time fishing for that rare coelacanth. No dice. Not even a spotting.

Then we found out that Nook 'n Go would be upgrading today. On Sunday. The one of two days when I get a chance to spend quality time making money. Unfortunately Nook doesn't seem to keep a day planner. It seems that he forgot he was planning on this:

Because this is the message directly after that one:

Ugh. Thanks Nook.

No more late night snack runs for Chrissy and me.

It also seems that Blathers is keeping busy. The museum is filling up, slowly but surely.

The dino room is turning from a creepy empty room to an awe-inspiring history-filled display.

It's really nice to see just how much progress we're making!

Yesterday was also a big deal because it was the first time I ventured out to somebody else's town. The gracious host was Emma in Hollywoo. She let me pick up the fruit that Alleria was missing!

I dropped it off in Alleria and went back to join in fishing and bug catching contests.
I ended up getting second in fishing and tied for first in the bug catching. It was really fun!

The most interesting thing was getting the chance to check out another person's town. The layout was fascinating! It made me jealous to have such easy access for fishing. The river ran parallel to the ocean for a stretch, making switching between both a matter of a few steps.

The way the river flowed into the ocean was really cool! Mine flows straight into the ocean. But Hollywoo had a really neat curve.
Hollywoo also had a super long path up to the top part of town that looked awesome. I don't have a picture of it but it looked great. I can't wait to visit more towns to see how everybody else lives!

And last but not least, two funny comments I've come across.
First one - it seems like Avery is getting a little stir crazy!

Geez! Marcel is one of the nicest dogs in the world! It wasn't the only comment like that he made yesterday. He said the same thing about Winnie.
And second - I stopped in at GracieGrace while wandering around the city and heard this:

Hahahahahaha. Me too, Hugh.

March Charm

Easy enough.
But it must be done by somebody who doesn't live in Alleria.
If you would like to gain a little luck for yourself (that's what you get, right?), let me know and you can take out a little aggression on one (1) tree here in Alleria. If you like, I'll help you with your charm too!

The lucky streak continues

Last night I did a lot of fishing. While I didn't find the tuna I was looking for, I did come across something peculiar. After selling a load of fish at Nook's I found this:

An empty lamp. I picked it up and started back to the path.


It was Wisp!
I've never seen Wisp before so this was exciting.

Since Wisp is only comfortable in small confined spaces (i.e. the lamp he lives in) we moved up to the attic.

He granted me my wish (I chose to get a furniture item - a retro stereo) and he disappeared a happy ghost.

After the excitement of meeting Wisp I wasn't in the fishing mood any longer. I took a trip to the city to see what was going on. I wandered into the Happy Room Academy and found my room as the display for this month!

After that happy news I went over to check on what Redd was selling. I skeptically picked up a wistful painting. The last couple paintings I've bought have been fakes so I wasn't holding out much hope for this one.

Wait....what? It WAS real! So now I have a grand total of two paintings in the museum.

Pretty snazzy, huh?

I also had the chance to meet Gracie.

I laugh at your bourgeois idea of fashion!

Not only that but I had the honor of running into a VERY old friend.

Vladimir! 'Ole Buddy 'Ole Pal! We go waaaaaaaaaaay back to Roseton. Ahhhhh. Good times, great memories. Roseton's population sure was growing, if you know what I mean!

And before I left back to Alleria I had one more thing to check.....what if....


IT WAS!
I got to visit with Resetti! Again! How freakin' lucky was that?!

And with that, I returned home to Alleria. Before heading off to bed, I helped Static find his lost key.


So now I'm wondering just how long this lucky streak will continue.
Here's to hoping that it is as long as possible!

Out and about

Our dear friend Moe has left Alleria.

A stark brown patch of dirt among a sea of green grass is all that's left to remind us that Moe's house once stood here. That plus an advertisement for Tom Nook.
He did leave me a sweet note in my mailbox.

I'll miss you too, Moe.

It seems like spring fever has spread around Alleria. Everybody is out and about, enjoying the sun and playing games of hide and seek. The other day, Astrid invited me to join her, Miranda, and Rhonda in a game.

Girls only! Well, little did they know....I happen to rock at seeking out large colorful animals who pick out terrible hiding spots.


Trees are terrible hiding spots. Peeking out from behind them makes it worse.
While I didn't find Miranda in time (pizza delivery takes priority over finding a hiding pink duck), I did beat Antonio, Chrissy, and Astrid. However, my victory celebration was cut short.

A POND SMELT?! Really?
What a lame prize! I guess the joke was on me...

It seems like Lady Luck has been by Alleria.
1.) Wendell stopped by for a visit and gifted a horizontal (I think) path.

2.) Museum of Alleria has another completed dinosaur - the dimetrodon!

3.) I got my silver shovel from Resetti!

Yes! I don't check religiously to see if the cone is moved but last night I decided to head over to the city and check. And it was!
For some reason, the best picture wouldn't save so when I left Resetti's surveillance center I went to try again and accidentally took another picture. D'oh! I hate how you can only have one picture at a time...I lost a true rare moment - Resetti handing over my new shovel. Oh well.
Before I went home for the night, I checked the cities main square and found an old friend.

GAAAAAAASTON!
Anybody who visited me in the 'wild world' of Kradia knows that Gaston and I were best of buds. It was so nice to see him visiting the City.
By the way Gaston, Alleria is looking for a new neighbor!!
