Midge and Chip?

I missed today’s fishing tournament (though I did participate in New Horizons), but Chip informed me of the results: Midge was the big winner with her 46-inch sea bass. Congrats, Midge!

Antonio asked me to make a delivery for him, and I was happy to help. I trotted the gift over to Roscoe; it was a Dutch shirt.

Roscoe: Well, let's see how she fits, giddyup!

Roscoe was happy with it, and he looked very pretty in his new dress! 😆

When I returned to Antonio, he rewarded me with a new hearth.

Midge was talking about how she was so impressed by Chip’s appetite, especially the way he gobbles down every fish you give him without hesitation. She even started imagining being married to him!

Midge: Could you imagine being married to Chip? You'd spend all your time in the kitchen, frying up fish!

But then she clarified that she didn’t want to marry him. It was a weird bit of dialogue, though.

Midge: ...Oh, no, wait, I'm not saying I want to marry Chip or anything like that, I eat bugs!

I sold a little fruit while I waited for 8:00 for K.K. Slider to appear, and then I headed to the Roost. I asked the traveling musician for a random song, and he performed Agent K.K. for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: Agent K.K..

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my game for the night. Did any of you attend K.K.’s show tonight, or am I the only one who still does? 😆 Leave a comment below, and I’ll see you all next time.

October Arrives

October has arrived, and you can now purchase candy for Halloween at Tom Nook’s shop. As a reminder, I do have a Halloween guide if you’d like to refresh your memory on how it all works before the event comes at the end of the month.

The new month also brings a pukey, yellowish shade of grass. Fortunately, I played at night, when it doesn’t look quite as bad. Just don’t look directly at the pukey grass in direct sunlight! 😆 This is the ugliest time of year for grass, in my opinion.

Jeremiah told me that Midge was making fun of his catchphrase, nee-deep. So he asked me to come up with a new phrase for him, and I told him to say “I ate it.” Hopefully it will pay off at some point in the coming weeks.

Jeremiah: You said I ate it, right?

Big Top was sick with a cold tonight, so I gave him some medicine that I bought at Nook ‘n’ Go. He slurped it down as he did a backflip; not an easy task for an elephant!

At the Roost, K.K. performed “K.K. Marathon” for me. It’s one of my least-favorite songs in the game, at least when performed live. I’d rather listen to K.K. recite bad poetry in Bebebese than suffer through this dreadfully boring tune.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Marathon.

Mint was talking about catching bugs, and she said it makes her want to do it. Wait, what? 🤔

Mint: When I think about catching bugs, it really makes me want to go do it, ahhhhhh.
I guess she’s looking to catch some flies.

In the city, I stopped in Crazy Redd’s shop before he closed up for the night. He had these three items for sale:

Crazy Redd's items for sale tonight.
  • A wistful painting that’s lovely to see.
  • A rocket to launch you to a new galaxy.
  • A phone box for gossip, for you and your tea.

That’s all for now, but I’ll see you next time! Never Stop Crossing!

The Cake is a Lie

I got a great surprise today. Curly’s replacement has moved in, and it’s Jeremiah the blue frog!

Jeremiah: Eep! My place still isn't ready, and neither am I! I'm Jeremiah, and I just moved here today.

He lived in Forest before, back in 2013. And I currently have him in my New Leaf town, too. He is one of my favorite frogs, and also one of my favorite villagers overall. I’m glad to have him here! Welcome to Forest, Jeremiah! 🙂

Ruby begged asked me to play hide-and-seek with her, and I agreed to play. She said afterwards, we could scream and laugh and eat cake. 😆

Ruby: I'll hide and you seek, and then we'll find each other and scream and laugh and eat cake and, PLEASE!

She gave me ten minutes to find her, Big Top, and Monty. It took me less than two minutes to find Ruby, hiding behind Antonio’s house.

I found Big Top near the dead end, and then Monty trying to hide behind a sign post. 😆

For winning the game, Ruby rewarded me with a tall nebuloid. Unfortunately, there was no mention of the cake she promised. The cake is a lie. 🍰

Ruby: Whooo! Fresh air and a good sweat! That was fun, Giddyup! ...Kinda stinky, but fun!

I found Don enjoying some coffee at the Roost. He told me that Saturday evenings, he and Resetti get together and tally up the resets. But he said he couldn’t give me that information. 😛

Don: Every Saturday evenin' us moles get together to crunch the numbers and tally up resets, right?

Later on, Patty was out for a walk…and she got mad at me. She thought I was against walking, even though I didn’t even say anything to suggest that (not to mention, I was out for a walk myself). This cow has some issues.

Patty: Yes, I'm out walking. So what? What's your deal? Are you part of that anti-walking crowd?

I walked on over to the Roost, where K.K. Slider was putting on his usual Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed K.K. Calypso for me.

K.K.: All right, get ready to dig the riffs on this ditty: K.K. Calypso.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time!
