Gala Rolls In

Lucy’s replacement has moved into Forest, so I went in the new house to say hello to the new villager. And I must say, the new villager looks a lot like the old villager! It’s Gala the pig!

Gala: Eek! I-I'm sorry! It's such a horrible mess in here...

Gala may be cuter then Lucy, and I have had some history with her (Gala lived in my New Leaf town in 2014). But trading one pig for another isn’t exactly the upgrade I was hoping for. I know that isn’t Gala’s fault though, so I’ll try to be nice to her. 😛

It’s Saturday night, so I went down to the Roost to check out the musical performance. K.K. Slider played “Only Me” for only me.

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

Goldie was sick with yet another cold, so I bought some medicine for her. She must have some serious health issues though, because it seems like she’s always as sick as a dog.

Goldie: I... I'm OK... I took my medicine... Everything's going to be fine...

I went bug-catching, and I caught a hercules beetle, two giant beetles, a cyclommatus, and a couple of emperor butterflies. It was a decent start, but I was getting tired and starting to fall asleep. In fact, I nearly sold Tom Nook my golden fishing rod by accident!!

Tom Nook: It looks like there's something important mixed in with the goods you wish to sell...

I’m glad he had that warning for me, or I would have made a huge mistake! But I figured I had better wrap up my night and take a little nap before I did anything else stupid. 😛

So I only made about 100,000 bells on the night, and I’m not on pace to meet my summer goal. I’ll have to play some extra nights later on in the month. It just wasn’t happening tonight.

Have a good night and I’ll see you next time!

Fooling Myself

At some point over the past week, Lucy got out her pig pen and wrote me a goodbye letter. Or maybe she used a stylus instead? Regardless, I received the letter today.

To Jeff, By the time you read this, I probably will have already left Forest... Thanks for everything. I will never forget the good times I had here. --Take care, Lucy

The greeting I gave Purrl last week actually fooled me for a split-second tonight. When she mentioned Mario, I actually wondered if I was playing in the wrong town for a moment. 🤣

Purrl: Mario? Oh, Jeff! Aren't you excited for another fun night out on the town?

I made my way over to the museum and went down the stairs to the Roost. I intended to check out K.K. Slider’s Saturday night performance. But it turned out I was about 15 minutes too late. Oops! Where did the time go tonight? 😛

While I was bug-hunting, Bones asked me for a new greeting. I told him to say Skull & Bones. I should probably order myself a skull shirt now. 💀

Bones: Skull & Bones!! A huh huh huh! It'll be our secret code that adventure is afoot, woof woof!

In total, I played about one hour and ten minutes. And I earned about 170,000 bells, mainly from bugs. It should have been a bit higher, but I messed up and let a scarab beetle and a tarantula get away. Well, the tarantula actually attacked me, but nobody needs to know about that part. 😉

The last thing I did was take the bus to the city to check Redd’s items. But since it was after 1 a.m. by then, Redd’s shop was already closed. You know you’re playing late when Crazy Redd of all people is in bed. 😛

Aw, shoot! We're closed! Business hours are 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 A.M. -the Management

I posted the latest episode of Mario Plays ACCF yesterday. Here it is if you haven’t seen it yet. Enjoy, and have a great day!
