Month: January 2021

The fishing tournament was held today, so I headed to the plaza and talked with C.J. On my first run, I caught five fish in the three-minute session, earning me 7 points. That earned me 2,000 Nook Miles for competing, and I’ve now participated in all four fishing tourneys.

I competed in eight more runs, scoring 7, 8, 7, 9, 8, 6, 7, and 7 points respectively. After my third run, C.J. informed me that I’ve hooked a total of 100 points. He will be sending me a prize in the mail tomorrow.

I caught two new fish on the day, a bluegill and a tuna. I promptly donated them both to the museum.

When I was done, I redeemed the 71 points in my pool for seven reward items from C.J.: an anchor statue, a fish rug, a fish print, a fish umbrella, a marine pop wall, a fresh cooler, and a tackle bag. I placed the anchor statue at the northern beach, and put the other items into storage.

Later on, Hornsby said that today’s tournament was very close. No it was not! I was the only one who caught any fish at all! 😛

When I visited Midge, she asked if I think about pizza with wings when I think of foods. Well, I do now that you mentioned it! 😉

I hope you all had a fun and successful fishing tourney!

Gulliver sent me my latest reward in the mail, and it was just a silk hat.

I also got a letter from the Snowboy I built yesterday; he sent me a frozen bed. And over at Candy Cane Lane, I built another perfect Snowboy. I guess I got my snojo back. 😛

C.J. was in town, and he had a seasports challenge for me. I just had to catch five fish in a row.

After completing the challenge, I grabbed a bunch of fish out of storage. C.J. bought them all for 145,800 bells. When I put the money into my bank account, my balance topped 15 million bells for the first time.

I bought a bunk bed at Nook’s Cranny, wrapped it up, and gave it to Midge. In return, she gave me her photo! Wow!

That’s two villager photos in two days! Here is a look at the picture. Midge’s favorite quote is “When the world gets cold, just fly south.” I’m wondering if this quote is reversed in the southern hemisphere, because it wouldn’t make sense there (flying south would be even colder).

I now have photos from all ten of my current villagers! (Plus Lopez’s photo as well.) And with that, that removes one of my daily goals to work towards…at least until I get a new villager. And as anyone who has been playing this game daily for the past 9.5 months could tell you, there are often days when nothing significant happens.

I’ve been posting five blog entries per week lately, but I’m now going to drop the frequency a bit. Generally there will be four entries per week now, and occasionally more, if a lot is going on.

I’m not planning on having Friday Night Forest this week, so there may not be an entry tomorrow. But there will be one on Saturday, as I participate in the fishing tournament. See you then!

Yesterday, I rolled up another snowboy…but again, it was not perfect. I seem to have lost my touch after having a few days without ample snowballs. Although, it is harder to make them in cramped locations where there isn’t enough free space.

However, I was able to finally build a perfect snowboy today.

Today, Gulliver was in town. I dug up his communicator parts, and he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail.

I found a lost item on the ground near my 2021 arch, and it was again a book about “xtreme xercises.”

I asked Louie about it, but he told me it was Tybalt’s book. I later found Tybalt in Nook’s Cranny and gave him the book. In return, he gave me a denim cap.

While I was at the shop, I saw there was a train set for sale. I remembered that Agent S gave me her photo after I gave her a train set… So I thought maybe it would be my lucky item again.

So I bought it, with the intention of giving it to Louie or Midge, whoever I ran into first. That turned out to be Louie, and the train set worked exactly as I hoped! Louie gave me his photo!

Here is a look at the photo. Louie’s favorite quote is “It’s all about the muscle.”

I put the photos of Agent S and Louie up on the wall. Here is a look at my complete collection of ten villager photos.

Midge is now the only current villager who has not given me a photo.

I shot down a balloon present and learned a recipe for a ski-slope flooring. It’s actually a winter snowflake recipe, not an ornament recipe. So the rest of the ornament recipes will have to wait until December.
