Boomer, UFO

On Monday, Gwen’s replacement moved in: Boomer. I’m fairly neutral towards him; Boomer is just OK. 😉 But it is somewhat interesting that one penguin was replaced with another.

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

Wendell was in town as the day’s special visitor, and Stitches was talking about him. Stitches wanted a sketch from Wendell, but of course Wendell insisted on food as payment. Stitches refused to give any food away just for a picture. 😛

Stitches: I mean, food is way more important to me than some picture, in a teddy!
You can afford to give some food away; you know you’re already stuffed.

I found Phineas out in the city, and he gave me a bunny balloon.

On Tuesday, Big Top told me that he plans to move out of town! 😮

Big Top: Hey, darling, I know this is kinda sudden, but I have to move out of Forest.

Even though I recently let him leave my New Leaf town, this is my only Big Top left. I told him to stay, and he said he’ll see if he can get out of it. It didn’t sound like a sure thing, but I kept speaking to him and he didn’t bring it up again. So I think he’s safe, even if I’m not 100% sure.

In the city, I relived an old nightmare when I ran into Jambette. 😉 She claimed to be looking her best…which in my opinion, was still pretty awful. 😂

Jambette: I put on my Sunday best to try and impress everyone here, croak-kay.

Yesterday, Big Top mentioned that he wants to make his own comic books someday. But he didn’t want to tell me his ideas, in case I didn’t like them. Also, he was afraid there might be a spy nearby that would steal his ideas. I don’t know, that clock behind me does look a bit suspicious…

Big Top: Besides, you never know when there's a spy hiding somewhere, pen gwen.

Unfortunately, the stupid catchphrase I gave Gwen has outlived Gwen herself. 😛

There were no special visitors in town, and there was no sign of Pete during his usual time. So that meant it was likely a UFO day! Nothing came at 6:02, but at 6:07, I saw it coming across the top path, from right to left!

You can see it coming in the top-right corner.

I chased it down and shot it just before it crossed the river. That was a bit of a close call, although I still would’ve had the return trip if I missed.

Shooting Gulliver's UFO in ACCF.
Bang!

This was my first UFO in four years, and my 32nd overall. It’s a rare thrill in the series, and it’s so satisfying when you do it. I found the spaceship part near my bridge, and I picked it up.

Today, Gulliver was in town, down on the beach. I gave him his spaceship part, and he gave me some chocolates in return.

Gulliver: Welp, no sense wasting any more time around here. Got other planets to seek out and name after myself!

That’s a disappointing gift, no doubt. I sold it at the shop for a measly 680 bells. 😂 But that’s okay; it’s about the thrill of the hunt and not the reward…especially since I already have all of Gulliver’s items.

In other news, peak bug season starts tomorrow (July 1st)! Late-night summer bug hunts are my favorite City Folk activity, and you can earn a lot of bells. My bank account balance currently sits at 50,570,000 bells.

I typically try to earn two million bells in July and August, but I’m going to aim a bit higher this time: I want to earn 2.43 million bells by September 1st (or my first play session in September), so that I can shoot for exactly 53 million bells. It’s going to be fun! 🐞

See you again soon!
