Hornsby’s Last Ride

Agent S asked me to play a treasure hunt game tonight, and I was up to the challenge. However, she only gave me three minutes to find the buried item, instead of the usual six.

Agent S: So, how about you and me, we do a treasure hunt and turn this day from mild...into POP-STAR WILD?

I found a dig spot right away, and I thought it was about to be the quickest treasure hunt ever. But of course, it was just a fossil.

I dig up a fossil as the owl flies away.
Hey, owl!

It ended up taking me about two minutes to find the item; it was next to Hornsby’s house.

I found treasure!

I returned it to Agent S, and she gave me the contents: a V-neck sweater. (A V-neck sweater is “POP-STAR WILD?!”)

Hornsby told me a very interesting story today. He prefers riding in vehicles, because it’s easier than walking. But the last time he was on a plane, he was just enjoying chilling and watching the clouds go by. But then he started thinking that the clouds were cotton candy!

Hornsby: But then I thought the clouds might be cotton candy, and I wanted to go eat some real bad!

He wanted to eat them, so he actually tried to get out the door! 😮 Fortunately, he couldn’t figure out how to get the door open until the plane landed. So he’s not allowed on planes any more. Wow. That story escalated quickly.

Hornsby: Anyhoo, that's why I'm not allowed on planes anymore...

Jolly Redd was in town, so I made sure to check out his art. He had a real jolly painting, a moving painting that I think was real, a fake wistful painting, and a scenic painting that I think was fake. I purchased the moving painting, so I think I’ll be donating it tomorrow.

Wisp was also on the island, and I gathered up his five spirits as I played. Once I found them all, I returned them to Wisp and he gave me an inflatable sofa.

See you all next time.

September Seasonal Items

Some new seasonal items are available now, including a dango and moon cakes for moon-viewing day, and some songpyeon for the Korean festival of Chuseok. The moon rug from last year has also returned. You have until September 21st to order the items.

Dango: 1,100 bells.

Wisp was in town on Sunday night, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me a red perforated-board wall.

Yesterday, Bianca the white tiger (or snow leopard) was camping at the campsite.

Bianca, at the campsite: Hi there! I'm Bianca, and I'm totes camping on your awesome island!

I like her a lot, but still not quite enough that I would kick anyone out for her. I try not to force anyone out like that, but perhaps someday there will be a situation in which I’ll do it.

Saharah was in town, so I bought a mystery wallpaper and a mystery flooring; I didn’t bother with rugs this time. I ended up with a security-monitors wall and circuit-board flooring. Even though I like them, I already have them both.

Today, the Nooklings had a brine-shrimp aquarium (Sea Monkeys!).

Timmy: Seems like you're interested in a brine-shrimp aquarium.

I thought it would make a perfect gift for Marina, so I bought it and wrapped it up. Marina seemed to enjoy it, and she gave me a text shirt in return. I’ll have to check tomorrow (or another day soon) to see if she displays the aquarium in her house.

I posted a new “Quick Comparisons” video today, comparing more aspects of each game in the Animal Crossing series. That includes the number of villager species, types of flowers, types of fruit, letter storage, and more. I hope you enjoy it!

Full Storage

Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me my latest reward, and it was another pirate bandanna. That’s my 5th pirate bandanna overall, and my 3rd red one! Meanwhile, he still hasn’t sent a 2nd pirate-ship cannon. 😛

When I was putting some stuff into storage, I got an unexpected message: My storage is full! 😮

Your storage is full, so you can't put anything else in it.

Even though it’s disappointing to know I’m out of storage, it’s honestly shocking that it has taken me a year and a half to do it! I need to stop saving every Gulliver/Gullivarrr item I get, for one thing.

2,400/2,400: Storage full.

And I do have a lot of unnecessary things in storage that I can get rid of, including tons of materials like sticks, stones, and iron nuggets. I started crafting with some of them, which will help me work towards my crafting goals in my Nook Miles app.

I saw that Flick was in town, and that gave me the opportunity to clear out 16 bugs that I had in storage. I sold them for a total of 186k.

Flick: Ahem. Can I offer you, say, 186,000 bells for the bunch of them?

Tonight is K.K. Slider night, so I sat down to enjoy the concert. Unfortunately, he played K.K. Etude, which is the same song he played three weeks ago. Hornsby and Marina also joined me for the show. (She’s just hiding behind K.K.’s speech bubble in this screenshot.) 😛

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Etude?

I’ve been neglecting to give Marina a gift every day, but I crafted a nice fountain for her tonight. I’m guessing it may be too large for her to display in her house, but it’s a nice gift regardless, if I do say so myself. 😛 When I gave it to her, she just gave me a flashy hairpin in return. But that’s okay. Our friendship is growing, slowly but surely.

And speaking of fountains, I customized my two near the plaza. They are now black.

My two black fossils near the plaza. Marina says hi.

Have you all filled up your storage yet? I’m curious to hear how long it took you all. Or maybe some of you still have a long ways to go? Let me know in the comments, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
