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! 🙂

Back Already?

I spotted a new house in town tonight, and I couldn’t believe who was inside: Goldie!!

Goldie: Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I seem a little frazzled. My name is Goldie.
Welcome back, Goldie! Even if you don’t remember me.

I was shocked because it’s only been six months since she moved out! I didn’t even know this was possible!

When former villagers have returned to Forest, it’s typically been at least 7-10 years later. With Gabi (who returned last month), it was even longer. So I’ve always believed City Folk had some sort of unseen cycle, like New Leaf, where former villagers couldn’t move back in very soon (unless coming from a friend’s town or something, which clearly isn’t the case here). But apparently it can indeed happen, it’s just really rare. At any rate, I’m happy to have Goldie back in town! 🙂

At the Roost, I checked out the Saturday night show. K.K. Slider performed K.K. Tango for me, and I took a photo during K.K.’s 😮 face.

K.K. Slider belts out a tune.

I went out to the city, and checked out the furniture at Target. 😛 I didn’t buy anything, though.

The furniture selection at Shampoodle.

I spotted another former villager in the city, Limberg the stinky mouse. He was talking about going to Shampoodle even though he thinks he looks perfect already! 😆

Limberg: I mean, obviously I look perfect as I am, but I'm thinking about the future, and, um, aging.

Enjoy your holiday weekend (for those of us in the U.S.), or your regular weekend for everyone else! See you next time!

Bloated Bunny

When I played tonight, I received Jambette’s goodbye letter in the mail. Just seeing it made me smile. 🙂

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, Jambette

When I spoke with my newest neighbor, Gabi, she told me that she recently ate 50 pounds of ice cream. That is a lot of ice cream! 😛

Gabi: I just ate, like, 50 pounds of ice cream, so I'm feeling kinda bloated.

Antonio locked himself out of his house, and lost his key. He was outside, yelling to the key to report for duty. As if it’s going to jump out of the water, back into his hands.

Antonio: Key! KEY! Mr. Key! Helloo? Paging Dr. Key! Sergeant Key, report for duty! Where are you, honk?

I’m starting to think my villagers aren’t very smart. 😉 (Sorry, Antonio, but I wasn’t interested in fishing for your key.)

Over by town hall later, I ran into Gabi again. She said that she only has two bells in her savings account! Maybe she shouldn’t have spent it all on ice cream.

Gabi: I went to get money from my savings, and you know how many bells I have? Like, 2! EEEEEEEEEEEK!

There was no sign of Jambette’s replacement, but whoever it is, they will probably show up next week. Hope to see you then! 🙂
