I found some star fragments on the beach today, including two Leo fragments since we’re now in Leo season.
Gulliver was washed up on the shore today, so I helped him out by collecting his communicator pieces. He will send me my reward in the mail tomorrow.
Nook’s Cranny had a marimba (which looks like a xylophone) for sale, so I bought it and placed it near my airport. I’m sure my visitors will enjoy playing it as they arrive on my island.
In an example of villagers knowing too much, Keaton approached me and told me he knew about my wasp sting yesterday. He said he could relate, because he played a character called Wasp-Sting Victim #3 in a movie called Samba Vampire.
He said that was a movie that he filmed in his basement. That just struck me as odd for multiple reasons. For one thing, he doesn’t have a basement. And if he made the movie himself, why did he give himself such a small role? Why couldn’t he be Victim #1? 😛
When I visited Rizzo, he told me how he used to be awful at crafting when he first started out. He tried to make a jackhammer, and it came out as a screwdriver. Ha. What a tool.
Lopez asked me to take a gift (a fishing vest) over to Tybalt, so I made the delivery. Tybalt thanked me and gave me his kids’ smock. I didn’t even know he had kids! 😛
Pascal’s message for me today was about day and night getting along. He gave me another pearl in exchange for my scallop, which is always a bit disappointing.
I’ve been catching quite a few sharks lately, and I’m just hanging onto them for now. I’ll probably sell most of them when C.J. comes around again, but I put them in storage for now. It seems ridiculous that we can keep living creatures like sharks in our storage, and yet, we can’t do the same with flowers.
After I caught a jewel beetle on a tree stump by Nook’s Cranny, I heard my phone beeping. That was my 2,000th bug caught, and that earned me 2,000 Nook Miles.
Near the campsite, I made some minor layout changes. Between the campsite and the ramps, I had three trees that were right in the way. So I moved the trees, and extended the path west to both ramps.
That serves as a reminder that Forest is not “finished;” I’ll continue making changes to my island. In fact, that’s a big part of the fun of New Horizons. Once I acquire one particular D.I.Y. recipe, I’ll be completely re-doing one part of my island. But I have other changes in mind as well. And I’m already looking forward to Halloween season. 😛
