I missed Joan
There was a bit of family drama via facebook this morning and I kind of forgot about AC while asking Santa for a family that got along. So I didn’t start playing until after noon and didn’t get to buy turnips.
Saturday Night Blues
I went in last night and told K.K. that I was feeling blue. He played K.K. Hymn for me and gave me a copy to take home.

K.K. Hymn Album Art
I should probably mention that you can display albums in your room either as furniture or as a poster or picture on the wall. If you’re a K.K. fanatic you can decorate your room to reflect that.
K.K. Album as furniture. I imagine you can put it on a table as well, but I don’t have a free table in here to check.
K.K. Albums on the wall
Silly Villagers
Nelson ran up to me as soon as I stepped out of my house today to gossip. He told me that Lillian and Iris were always together. He thinks they’re starting up a girl’s band together. And of course Nelson wants to be the music producer. I think he’s a pervy little goat.
“Of course, I’ll be the music producer!”
Snow-person making stuff
Out of the three Snow-Daddies that I have in town I got two numbers for my bingo card. The first was a miss. I only need one number left for a bingo.
Come on 15!
I attempted to roll another Snow-Daddy today, but I had my first snow-person blunder. Here is what I started with. I think they were too small.
I think he might be saying something akin to he lives again, but I dunno.
I’m pretty sure he was telling me he sucked. I don’t think I’ll get anything from him in the mail. The “regular” snowmen send you a piece of the snowman set. For future reference I found a link with his dimensions clearly shown.
Dud Fortune
I got fortune #30 in Nook’s shop. If you recall this is the “dud” fortune. Last time he gave me a juke box for the dud fortune. This time I got a bug zapper. So, the dud prize differs each time.
Igloo??!!
The campsite had an igloo on it today. That seems much more practical than a tent. I walked in to see who would brave the cold just to stay in Kasen village. It was Bob (ボブ). This could get confusing because in English there is already a Bob and it’s a cat. In Japanese that cat’s name is different. This Bob is a dog. I imagine his English name will not be Bob.
Even though I think Bob is pretty cute (for a dog—I’m a cat person) I didn’t try and persuade him to stay. I did try and eat his warm-looking soup, but couldn’t interact with it. Rats!
Badge Master
Wow! It’s been a while since I’ve run into the badge master. I didn’t know what he would give me a badge for. Barrista extraordinaire (by cheating), Snow-person mangler? No. He told me my shopping catalog was filling up and gave me the “Catalog Mania B” badge. I don’t know what the B stands for.
I got the Catalog Mania B Badge
This is a badge for people who have gotten a fairly large number of catalog items
These are my current badges. The newest is the little leaf book.
I spy with my little eye…
Hello, what’s this? I saw something weird sitting on the ground below the cliff so I went to investigate. It was something somebody had dropped. I found its owner on the first try.
“Oh! I’ve been looking for that!”
She gave me a four ball shirt to thank me for returning whatever it was that she dropped.
Happy Home Academy
I forgot to mention I had a congratulatory mail from the HHA this morning. They sent me a reward for reaching 50,000 points. I got a silver plaque.
Café Life
I tried using the coffee maker Brewster gave me with the coffee beans I got. Nothing happened. I did find out via the catalog that you can’t purchase the coffee maker.
I completed a shift as a perfect barista today (cheating my ass off). I gave Margie her favorite black blend coffee. Then someone new came in! Dora (とめ) . Dora is not one of my villagers. I didn’t know we would get “strangers” in the café. Word about Brewster’s awesome café must have spread!
I made Dora her favorite drink too: Kilimanjaro, full of milk, 3 sugars. Yuck! She gushed about Kasen village’s wonderful café.
I finally made Nelson a drink he liked: blend, a little milk 1 sugar. He responded by telling me it was “Excellent!!!!” My final customer was Pete! He didn’t tell me a single thing about what he liked. He just said he wanted coffee. Fortunately because of my crystal ball I was able to glean that he liked a blend, some milk, and 2 sugars.
“Ah the taste! The taste! It’s perfect coffee~”
After Pete left the rush died down. Brewster gave me some very good coffee beans and an old espresso machine. I haven’t tried out or even looked at the espresso machine yet. I’m too busy wondering if I want to try and scrounge up 900k bells to buy the king’s crown. I don’t think I can scrape it together by 8PM though…
Is there no way to play igloo games in this version then? D: That makes me very sad, but at least igloos have returned. Oh and I think that yummy looking soup is actually cream stew! It’s a delicious dish!
First I’d like to thank you, New Leaf had fallen almost completely off my radar, but you’ve brought my hype back in full force. I’ve actually had a lot of fun reading your log here and this is looking like the best AC yet.
There is one thing that’s bugging me a little though, are the villagers as active as they were in Wild World? I remember they seemed to idle kinda awkwardly in City Folk.
@Little Miss Mint Tea I haven’t seen any mention of igloo games. Up until I saw my igloo camper I didn’t know there were igloos in this one. LOL
@Major999 The villagers seem pretty active in this one. They fish, plant flowers, ask for favors, visit the stores in the shopping section, and go to Club 444. I don’t say too much about them because their conversations are the hardest for me to understand and try and translate. I miss a lot of the nuance of the game I’m sure.
Well that’s great to hear, sounds like the town’s more lively this time around.
Do they actually wander the town, though? I know it’s a weird question, but they way they stuck around one area so long in City Folk, I dunno, killed the immersion, I guess is the best way to put it?
I don’t know what it was about Wild World. Had more charm, in a way.
@Majora999 they do wander around town. It seems like they kind of clump up for me around the recycle shop. Which is ok because then they talk to each other. I don’t catch nearly as many of their conversations together in New Leaf as I did in City Folk.
Ahhh so cool! I love how you can display the album art. But if a song is on display somewhere, does that mean you can’t play that song in your stereo?
I love that igloo! How cute!
That’s so cute how you can get random patrons to the cafe, including big names like KK and Pete! I wonder how Shrunk likes his coffee?
Awe man… so much to look forward to for next winter once AC:NL arrives in the UK 🙂 x
