Lighthouse!

I haven't had a whole lot of time to play Animal Crossing: City Folk lately but I plug away at it when I can. I was finally able to save up enough money to save up for the lighthouse. Normally it shouldn't have taken me this long to save this much money but I've been buying all the Gracie Grace furniture every four months and it's been depleting my savings!

Somehow I thought the lighthouse would be bigger, maybe I should've got the windmill!

Fashion update! Going with the pirate theme these days. Shiver me timbers....

Awesome Crossing

Animal Crossing Wii Case Mod

I like the wood look encasing on the Wii and controller and the Animal Crossing logo on the controller as well but I'm not sure about the picture on the side of the Wii. As Wii case modifications go, this one is pretty lame, but it's the only one for Animal Crossing I could find online.

Valhalla Residents: Opal

Name: Opal
Type: Elephant
Catchphrase: "Snoot"
Birthday: January 20

Opal is another one of my newer residents in Animal Crossing: City Folk. Her character type is snooty, my least favorite trait for the animals in the game. Since I'm not too fond of her, she'll probably never move!

In Opal's defense, she's only the second elephant I've had in an Animal Crossing game, so that makes her presence a little cool.

Valhalla Residents: Del

Name: Del
Type: Crocodile
Catchphrase: "Oh Snap"
Birthday: May 27

Del is one of the longest animals to stick around my town. He's also one of my favorite residents in the game. He's kind of a curmudgeon but I favor the crusty types more than any other in this game. Del is one of the rare animals that I would probably prevent from moving away if I were to catch him in time.

Interesting decorating style by Del. I do like the urinal though.

This is why I like this type of personality in the game.

Deep Thoughts by Pascal

Pascal, a sea otter, made a stop in my town last night. For those who don't know (my friend Dann who just got Animal Crossing: City Folk), Pascal can be found randomly hanging out on one of the town bridges. If you have in your possession a scallop, which can be found on the beach, Pascal will give you a special gift, one of six pirate themed pieces of furniture or a pirate themed carpet or wall. With or without the scallop in your inventory, Pascal will impart to you some of his wisdom. He reminds me of a cross between a stoner and a hippie.

Wow bro! Deep.

Valhalla Residents: Jitters

Name: Jitters
Type: Bird
Catchphrase: "Bzzert"
Birthday: February 2

Jitters is the newest animal to move to Valhalla so I know very little about him so far. In fact I've spoken with him so little that I haven't determined what kind of personality he has (lazy, snooty, etc.) I tend to let my resident move out at their leisure so there's always someone coming and going.

Chillin' at Jitters "nest."

Winter Clothing

I ditched the "Link" outfit I'd been wearing for something more seasonal last night.

Hangin' near my pink cosmo garden.

In the art gallery in the museum.

I really dig the hat and the pink shoes but I'm not sure about the sweater. Does anyone have suggestions on a more compatible piece of clothing to go with the hat?

Animal Crossing Blogs

I added a listing of Animal Crossing blogs to this site last night. I'll continue to add more blogs as I find them but the pickings have been pretty slim. While there are a lot of Animal Crossing related blogs to be found, a lot of them have not been updated in a long while or are updated infrequently. Enjoy.
