Easy Come, Easy Go

Last night, Gabi told me she wanted a photo of herself with a nature theme. So she asked me to catch a peacock for her!

Gabi: You know? Something with a big bug! Can you imagine me in a photo with a peacock?

But it’s not Festivale, so I couldn’t track down Pavé! 😉 But of course, she meant a peacock butterfly. However, those aren’t out at night, so she was out of luck.

When I went into Goldie’s house, I was very sad to see her all packed up and ready to move out. 🙁

Goldie: The boxes probably gave it away, but...I've decided to move, honeybun.

When she returned to Forest in May, it was the nicest surprise to see that she was back in my life. But I guess it was too good to be true, or at least, too good to last. I’ll miss her. Again.

The Bug-Off was held today, but I played too late to participate. Nat informed me that Poncho was the winner, with a 65-point miyama stag.

Nat: The 65-point miyama stag caught by Poncho from right here in Forest.

When I walked up the ramp onto the cliff behind my house, I saw Poncho, Tom, and Gabi all hanging out there. I don’t know, it just seemed odd. It almost looked like Poncho was thinking about jumping off the cliff. 😛

Antonio told me he challenged Roscoe to see who could stay awake longer. But after 96 hours, Antonio fell asleep and lost the challenge.

Antonio: I fought it for 96 hours... But, honk! I couldn't handle it.
His catchphrase made this dialogue so much better. I don’t even know why. 😛

Queenie told me that she likes to get massages on Saturdays. This time, she was using essences of ice cream and…fried ice cream. 😛

Queenie: This week, my massage will use the essences of ice cream and fried ice cream!

And as of tonight, my savings account balance reached 57.5 million bells…so I’ve already met my summer goal! But with almost two weeks remaining in August, I’m sure I’ll still do some more bug hunts before the season ends. 🙂
