Seasonal Shifts

Well, it's June now, and you can really feel the shifting of the seasons. The weather was dry for the first time in what felt like weeks today. I actually got some use out of the watering can Isabelle had given me to help out around town!

My plans for work didn't start until the afternoon, so I decided to look around the shopping district for a bit in the morning. Much to my surprise, Tommy at T&T Mart told me they'd be closing the next day in order to remodel and expand the shop again. The town had become so lively in recent weeks that they had already outgrown their new store. Their current building simply couldn't keep up with the demands of the growing town. I have to admit, hearing that made me kind of proud of all the work I had been putting into the town.

Sleepy Sundays

Well, today was nice and relaxing. It being Sunday, Joan was in town, but I decided to forgo the stalk market for the foreseeable future. While it can certainly prove a great way of making money if you're a mixture of smart and lucky, I think I prefer more hands-on (and less risky) methods of earning bells.

I recently managed to find and buy myself a computer, so I spend most of the morning surfing the internet and playing a couple of games. Not exactly the most exciting thing to talk about, but I hadn't gotten to do these kinds of things since leaving home, so it proved an amazing way of passing the time, and helped me reconnect with some of my online friends.

Follow-up at the Club

It was an unusual day. While looking around town, I stumbled across a wandering camel who told me her name was Sahara. It seems she goes from town to town selling wallpaper and carpet to those who are interested. The catch seems to be that you don't know exactly what you're buying--you pay her, she takes stock of your house, and installs whatever she's inspired to by your decor.

I decided to try my luck, to decidedly odd results. I came in to find my living room walls looking like the night sky, and my carpet looking like a field of grass and flowers. It was such an unsettling effect, I didn't even think to stop and take a picture before reinstalling my old flooring and wallpaper.

Club LOL

Well, today was quite the day. Sylvia is gone now, the only trace of her presence in town being the patch of dirt where her house used to be. It had been taken down during the night. I imagine the grass will regrow in time, and all that will be left are memories.

In lighter news, however, Dr. Shrunk's Club LOL has opened its doors. The once barely-noticeable alley now plays host to a bright, colorful sign that's hard to miss, especially once it lights up at night. Even the door is ringed by lights to invite customers in. All of these new and expanded businesses are really making the once derelict Main Street start to shine.

Goodbye, Sylvia

Well, this happened sooner than I'd like to admit. Sylvia hasn't even lived in this town as long as I have, but she's decided to move away. Apparently, another town has become famous for its "turf wars", and she wants in on the action. I have no clue what a turf war is in this context.

I think I simply have to accept that Mymeara will never be able to satisfy the tastes of every single person. Sylvia's found a place that suits her better than I think Mymeara ever will. Trying to change the town in a way that appeals to her would disappoint all the people who like the path it's already on. I wished her luck in her new town, and decided to take a walk along the beach to think and clear my head a bit.

Meet the Neighbors

Well, another slow day. Since I don't have much to talk about, I figured I should probably make note of the villagers who lived in the town before I arrived. I've talked about those who moved in after I did, but not much about the ones who came before.

First up is Moose the mouse. Moose is a real musclehead, always talking about working out, eating healthy, and so on. Still, while I've had bad experiences with such types in the past, Moose seems to be a pretty decent guy. While he maybe tries a little too hard to push other people into joining his insane workout regimen, his heart's at least in the right place about it, and he always has a kind word or small gift for people.

A Look at My House

Well, today's been a rather slow day. Absolutely nothing of note happened. So, rather than sit here and complain, I thought I'd give a small tour of my house.

First, the outside is really starting to come together. No more glaring pink door! There's still some room for improvement here, but it's looking really nice already. All that's really left is to replace the fence and mailbox when I find suitable looking options. I may decide to replace the walkway, but we'll see what happens.
