The Bug Master

Yesterday, I received Curly’s goodbye letter in the mail (as expected).

Yo, Jeff, It's time for me to bail on Forest and take these biceps on tour! They're just too big for one town. Don't worry, you'll see 'em again! Peace! -Curly

At Nook ‘n’ Go, I saw Tom Nook was selling a silver slingshot (in addition to a regular one). I didn’t need it, but I took a screenshot anyway. It was worth a shot. 😉

Tom Nook: Yes, yes, that's something I don't get in too often! Indeed, it's rare to see a silver slingshot!

Patty was telling me that she ran into Pete, and he kept talking and talking…boring her to death. So she gave me an excuse to use if he keeps blabbing to me. 😛

Patty: If he starts talking, just pretend your tummy hurts and run off, how-now! That's what I had to do.
Patty, I’d love to listen to you complain about Pete more, but my stomach hurts. Gotta go!

I saw a big fish shadow in the river, and I fished out this dorado. I took this screenshot mid-flight. 😛

Fishing out a dorado.

On the same day that I received Curly’s goodbye letter, I actually saw Curly in the city! He didn’t seem to recognize me, sadly. But he told me about his shopping routine…as Yuka walked by! 😱

Curly: Today's menu: scarf lunch, do some quick stretches to prevent shopper's cramp, then back to shopping!

The Bug-Off was held today, and Nat informed me that Monty was the winner. He caught a 63-point walkingstick to secure the win.

My other monkey wasn’t having such a good day. Nana was sick with a cold, so I gave her some medicine. Get well soon, Nana!

Mint was telling me about a beauty tip she read in Ms. Nintendique magazine: It recommended bathing in mint tea! I’ve seen this dialogue before of course, but it’s funnier now because it’s Mint talking about mint tea. So she’s bathing in…herself?

Mint: Maybe I'll try that bath using mint tea I read about recently in my Ms. Nintendique magazine.

I went over to the Roost to check out K.K. Slider Saturday night show, and he performed “K.K. Cruisin'” for me. 🚗

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

Antonio asked me for some doll-like furniture, but I couldn’t find any for him. I even shook trees to find the two furniture items, but they were just a cello and a cabin couch. I checked the lost-and-found too, and I had no luck there either.

But while I was at the gate, I also asked Booker who was in town. I knew Nat was in town for the Bug-Off, but I was surprised to see Booker refer to him as “the bug master.” 😆

Booker: Uh, yeah... The bug master came through here early this morning, but...

What a title to have, haha.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time! Never Stop Crossing!
