Don’s Hot Bath

On Thursday, I received Boomer’s goodbye letter in the mail.

Dear Jeff, Moving day is finally here, and I keep thinking of the fun times we had. Those memories are what I'll take with me to my new town, not just boxes and stuff. -From Boomer

The door to the Resetti Surveillance Center was open in the city, so I dropped in for a visit. Resetti wasn’t around, but Don was talking about how Resetti likes scalding hot baths. He even said he tried to join in Resetti’s bath, but it was too hot for him. Um, okay…

Don: It's a long story, but I tried to get in there with him one time, and I thought I was gonna boil like a potato.

Tonight, Harry was sick with a cold, and I generously gave him some medicine.

I spoke with Nat outside of town hall. The Bug-Off was held today, but of course I played too late to participate. Nat informed me that Goldie won the competition by catching a 55-point diving beetle. Congrats to Goldie!

Nat: The 55-point diving beetle caught by Goldie from right here in Forest.

I went over to the Roost, and K.K. Slider performed K.K. Faire for me. I always enjoy that song, even if I did just hear it in Wild World last weekend.

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

Boomer Out

Antonio and Harry were chatting in the rain tonight, and apparently Antonio mistook Harry for a former wrestling star. I’m not sure how anyone could confuse Harry for any type of star.

Antonio: Huh?! Hold up! So you're NOT the most feared man in wrestling?

When I went into Boomer’s house, I saw that he was all packed up to move away. Even though he’s not one of my favorites, he has grown on me during his time in Forest. I just might even miss him a bit.

Boomer: Well, you probably already know, but I'm leaving this town, let's fly.

Grizzly was outside, being his usual cranky self. He was mad about the rain, and he was determined to put a stop to it somehow. 😛

Grizzly: Phooey! This is NO GOOD, bucko. No good at all...and I'm going to put a stop to it...

Just go back into your cave and wait it out, dude.

I went over to the Roost, and I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. Unfortunately, he played K.K. Marathon for me…nearly putting me to sleep. 😪

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

Lobo, another cranky villager, was complaining about the weather too, but not about the rain. He was annoyed by the heat of summer, and he said he wished he was just wearing an animal costume. 😛

Lobo: It's times like this that I wish I was just wearing an animal costume, you know, ah-rooooo?

You’re Both Scary

On Tuesday, I saw that I was nearing a savings milestone. So I loaded up a few loads of fruit and sold them. I was able to kick my savings up to 55 million bells!

Your current balance is 55,000,000 bells.

I played again tonight, and I saw that fireflies are out, now that June is here. They’re so pretty! 🙂

Two fireflies silently hover around a holding pond.

I ran into Queenie and Tom having a discussion, and I listened in. They were wondering which one of them would make kids cry more. 😆 They couldn’t decide, so they asked my opinion…

At first, I thought Tom would be more scary, because he can be cranky…and his gruff attitude may be frightening to a kid. But then again, he is just a cat…and Queenie is an ostrich. She may be nicer, but an ostrich might look like a weird, scary giant to a kid. So I told them they’re both scary. 😛

You're both scary.

Neither of them were satisfied with that answer, and they were both depressed. Oops. 😛

While walking around, I spotted (and caught) my first goliath beetle of the year! Even though most of the valuable summer bugs don’t come out until July, there are a few that are out now. Sharks are also in season now, although I didn’t spot any of them tonight.

I caught a goliath beetle! GOOOOOOOOLIATH!

A bit later, I found Queenie and Tom still hanging out together (but in a different part of town). I listened on them once again, and Queenie was telling Tom that his beard was dirty! I didn’t know that Tom even had a beard!

Queenie: ...Your beard is all dirty, let's fly!

She also said that there was food in his beard too! Tom was confused at first (as was I), but he eventually admitted he had a little tuna salad on his face. Gross. For once, I’m glad the graphics aren’t detailed enough to show that. 😆 I don’t need to see tuna salad in anyone’s beard. Yuck.

It must have been a night for chatting, because Boomer and Lobo were also having a conversation near my northern bridge. Lobo said he used to be a weightlifting star, and he drove all the girls crazy with his toned physique. So Boomer asked him why girls don’t like him now. 😛

Boomer: Wow! That sounds cool! So, why don't any girls like you now?
Savage.

Boomer said he saw a girl that was visiting Lobo leave angry the other day. Lobo accused Boomer of spying on them, and Boomer wanted a bribe of an almond jelly not to spread the word around town. However, I got no such guarantees of any almond jelly, so I’m spilling the tea here in this blog. 😉

I posted a new video the other day, listing 15 (pre-New Horizons) Animal Crossing features that I’d like to return in the next game. It includes several City Folk features, so check that out here if you’re interested.

See you all next time! 🙂
