Star Head

Gullivarrr was in town today, but he did not want to wake up from his nap. I guess I can’t blame him.

Gullivarrr: Arrr! I don't care if it's me turn to man the helm. Me nap time is me nap time... Zzz...

I went diving to find his communicator, and I snared it on just my 2nd dive. I returned it to the pirate, and he’ll be sending me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

There was a heavy meteor shower tonight, so I wished on quite a few shooting stars. Over by the dock, I ran into Celeste! She taught me how to make something called a “star head.”

By the way, I’ve been seeing those cumulonimbus clouds a lot lately. I guess I just didn’t notice them much last year, but they’ve been appearing very frequently over the last few weeks.

Apple was talking about amusement parks, and she said she loves thrill rides. But surprisingly, she thinks ferris wheels are terrifying!

Apple: I'm not a big fan of being trapped in a flimsy, shaky box miles in the air. But, hey, that's just me!

Before wrapping up my night, I made myself a star head.

I feel like Maggie Simpson in her winter coat. See you all next time. 😛

Apollo’s Bitter Pill

On Sunday, I found a lost item on the ground. It was a bag that featured cartoon characters. I returned it to its owner, Agent S. She rewarded me with some fishing waders.

Wisp was in town, and I gathered up his five spirits for him. In return, he gave me some cork flooring.

On Tuesday, Bones told me about a letter he received from his grandma. She said he was still her special boy…which made Bones wonder if he could be replaced. 😛

Bones: She said she was thinking of me, and that I was still her special boy... STILL?! Could I be replaced?!

Today, I posted a new video consisting of tools breaking…set to music. I know we all hate the fact that tools break, but it isn’t about complaining. It’s just a short, lighthearted video that will hopefully make you smile. 🙂

In preparation for that video, I broke about five or six tools yesterday, to get the last few clips I needed. So I found it amusing today when Tia noticed that everything I try to use has been breaking. 😛

Tia: Is it just me, or is everything you try to use breaking lately? Now my bug-catching net is starting to fray...
How did you hear the breaking news?

And as soon as I left her house, I dug up today’s glowing spot and my shovel broke. Right on cue.

Tybalt was crafting today, and he taught me a DIY recipe for a jungle wall. Surprisingly, I didn’t have that one already! It’s pretty rare to get new recipes at this point.

Apollo was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him.

Apollo: It's so bitter...I LOVE it!

The instant that he took it, he said he was all better now. He rewarded me with a waistcoat.

It was raining in town, and Marina was out with an umbrella. She said she would someday like to share an umbrella with someone special. But I just liked how her thought bubble was coming out of her mouth. 😛

Marina: Someday, I hope to share an umbrella with someone special while rain falls all around us...

I delivered an item from Eloise to Apple, and then I met a few Nook Miles+ goals. After that, I wrapped up my game for the night. I’ll be back with another entry soon, though. See you next time!

Golden Rod

As expected, The Farway Museum sent me a letter in the mail, congratulating me on completing my fish encyclopedia. They attached the DIY recipe for the golden fishing rod.

Esteemed Jeff, Thank you for using the Critterpedia app. We congratulate you on completing every fish entry in the encyclopedia. To celebrate your achievement, we present you with a recipe for a golden rod. -The Farway Museum

I grabbed a gold nugget out of storage and crafted the golden rod.

The DIY recipe for a golden rod in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

That earned me a whopping 5,000 Nook Miles for crafting all six golden tools and completing the Golden Milestone goals.

Golden Milestone: All goals met.

Surprisingly, the golden rod recipe wasn’t the only golden DIY I received today. The message bottle had a recipe for some golden flooring, and Eloise gave me a recipe for a golden toilet. I didn’t need either of those, but I thought it was interesting to get three golden DIYs in one day.

I also had some mail from Jolly Redd. He sent me my warrior statue, which turned out to be a forgery (like I figured).

After selling the leftover fish in my pockets, I had enough money to bump my bank account balance up to 30 million bells.

Savings Balance: 30,000,000 bells.

K.K. Slider was at the event plaza tonight (on the correct day this week 😉), and I asked for a random song. He performed K.K. Disco for me, Marina, Apple, and Louie.

After the show, I found Joey the duck camping out at the campsite. I was not interested in adopting him, but I’m okay with him hanging out here.

Joey, at the campsite: It's a buncha fun camping on this island. The air smells good, like food. I wanna bite it, bleeeeeck!

I’ll see you all next time!
