Surplus of Cats

After multiple upgrades, Arcadia has finally achieved Nookington's! (With no help from the two months I disappeared, either...) It seems as if Nook's satisfied with this renovation.

I smell insincerity.

I don't think all this excitement hasn't gotten to the townies yet. I feel as if some are being impacted by the cost of the expansion into some kind of economic crisis. I just found Kiki window shopping a few days ago.

Poor girl didn't have a cent on her.

I tried confronting her, too, but to no avail.

Maybe Kiki should work part-time for Nook.

Speaking of cats, I think Arcadia's experiencing some sort of cat-surplus. First Kiki, then Mitzi, now Kid Cat? How many cats can one town handle? Three is more than enough.

And now Kid Cat has the hots for Mitzi.

All these cats are impacting our neighbors. Blaire's considering taking a move for somewhere better, or with less cats. I don't blame her, and she can move if she wants. As long as another feline doesn't decide to occupy her space.

Au revoir, Blaire! I was never fond of you, anyway.

Welcome, Mr. Fall

Well, it's been a while, and I'm sorry. But posts are back for good!

Good ol' Fall has finally hit Arcadia. And that means that our summer showers are finally over and we get to see some actual sunshine for the first time in a while.

I love the change in the trees. The lush greenery changes to a vibrant red.

And Fall means... Halloween! I went on a scavenger hunt for Jack, but with little luck, I only found him a handful of times, so I didn't complete the furniture set, but got pretty close.

Pippy decided to follow Jay's footsteps and move without notice. And just when we were becoming friends! Well, her loss, I suppose. On the positive side, my all-time favorite neighbor moved in...

Kid Cat! He's so quirky and unexpected. I know we'll become fast friends.

See what I mean?

I've recently gotten into the habit of fishing to get some money to pay off my mortgage, but I never expected to find a Football Fish!

On my last note, I think Groucho's becoming an alcoholic.

I'll never understand you, Groucho.

No Sun Sundays

Hey, guys! Sorry it took me so long to post. I've been really busy this past month. But here's an update for these past few weeks!

Jay's finally moved out of town to somewhere more to his liking. It's not really that big a deal, since we were never all that close. None of the neighbors seem to have noticed his absence.

Blaire, our newest neighbor, decided to take the exact spot of Jay. When she had finally unpacked, I looked inside her home. It wasn't really functional.

In fact, it just looked like a bunch of random pieces of furniture.

Oh well, I can't be a hypocrite.

Groucho and I seem to be hitting it off pretty well! At first, it seemed as if we'd never be all that close, but he seems like a dependable and nice neighbor. Actually, he's been following me around town quite a bit.

Kiki unveiled some upsetting news to me this week.

Not Kiki! She's one of our nicest neighbors! It seemed as if she wanted to follow in Jay's footsteps. But not for long, because it didn't take that long for her to come to her decision.

It would have been too hard to live in a town without her. We're not really close, but I wouldn't want someone like Amelia to take her spot. Two Amelias... that's a thought. Speaking of that, I hope Amelia's the next one to move. She's such a priss! Just today she was telling Pippy that she would never find her "Dream guy" in Arcadia, but rather at the 99-cent-store. The nerve of her! Poor Pippy was in such a bad mood after that.

Anyway, in celebration of Kiki not moving, she gave me a matching outfit and we strutted around town as a pair. We look ravishing!

In other news, townies have been saying the craziest things lately.

Erase my face... You do that, Grizzly.

What sun? It's so dreary here. Blaire must be going nuts! Get it? Haha...

But aren't they animals? I think I see a conspiracy theory forming here.

Bears say the darnedest things!

Market Madness

Hi again! I'm sorry about not being able to frequently update this month. I was at camp, and I'm going back in a week, so I'm not able and won't be able to post every day.

On with the journal!

I got my Nintendo DLC item, but I'm a bit upset with it. I'm aware it's part of Pikmin, but I don't even play the game. It just sits there and doesn't match with anything. (Though my house is a mess to begin with)

I actually did not have a large roll in the Bug-Off because I was away for the week. Good news for my sister, however, who won a shiny trophy!

It's come to my attention that Jay's decided to move out of Arcadia, and sprung the news on me today. Though I never really had that much of a bond with Jay, (which is why he's not in many, rather any pictures) he'll still be missed.

I just wish that stupid Amelia would move out.

The town was buzzing about the Flea Market today! I've picked up a ton of useless items, which I've put on my house for display for this very occasion, hence why my house is such a pigsty.

I was also able to acquire my very first Mario item, the Fire Flower!

Groucho thought it'd be nice to take a few items off my hands.

Waaaaaait a second, he gave me back the same cactus that he bought from me! Damn you, Groucho!

Finally! I was able to catch the Diving Beetle! That thing is difficult to catch.

Groucho and Dizzy engaged in an odd conversation about... tomatoes?

Hehe, Pippy and I are such snoops. So that's how she gets all the gossip on neighbors.

Lastly, a cute letter from my best pal, Stitches!

Phineas Makes an Appearance

This week's been especially busy for me. Because I was involved in a play, I wasn't able to update on Arcadia, though I was sure to check up on my neighbors almost every day as well as begin to design and place paths since the grass is beginning to wear down incredibly quickly. Now that I have a break, let the updates from this week commence!

I went to the city earlier this week, and Phineas had showed up for the first time! I snagged a red balloon.

I matched!

I also wanted to mention that Arcadia welcomes our newest resident: Mitzi!

All the neighbors have been talking about the first big town event of the summer, the Bug-Off! Apparently Kiki is the most fired-up about it.

Now, for town gossip! On the 14th, it was Dizzy's birthday. Since he's such a good friend and a close neighbor, I walked over to wish him a happy birthday.

I don't think Dizzy got the memo.

Hey, he may be spacey, but he was one of my first neighbors and we're tight.

Lastly, a comment from my absolute favorite neighbor, Amelia.

I actually wasn't listening to what it was about. I usually tune her whining out.

No More Debt

Nothing too exciting happened in Arcadia today.

I paid off my first loan!

Now, onto the favorite part of this entry, the neighbor gossip!

I saw something peculiar today. Amelia was actually outside. I had to see what was happening.

Oh, that's... too bad... Sucks for you.

Honestly, if she lost it, she should find it. I already do her chores for her.

At least by fishing for her key, (which I never found) I caught some new fish!

And lastly, Brewster actually gave me an option for my coffee:

Got it... Here you go... House blend, brewed with natural springwater. Coo.

Egbert Moves In

Yet another new resident has joined Arcadia!

And yet again, it's still raining. It was raining all day. Quite drab, if you ask me. At least the flowers get a little watering.

Lately, Amelia has been getting on my nerves. She's always inside her house like some kind of loner, and when she's outside, she's insulting everyone or being totally creepy and going goo-goo over the people I've WiFi-ed with.

Anyway, since today was Saturday, guess who dropped by The Roost?
