Month: June 2022

On Wednesday, Timmy told me that he was paying 109 bells for turnips. So I sold my measly 30 turnips from Joan for 3,270 bells.

After checking Lottie’s Island last night, I left the game in sleep mode overnight. When I resumed today, I tried to fly to Harv’s Island…but Wilbur told me I couldn’t do it!

Because a new day had started, I was forced to travel back to Forest before I could go out again.

C.J. was in town today, and he wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row for his seasports challenge. But after catching two small fish, I spotted a shark in the ocean! There were no other small fish around, so should I sacrifice my streak for the shark? Not to mention, there’s a chance that the “shark” could be a suckerfish. What would you do?

You're working on a seasports challenge for C.J., and you've caught two small-fry fish in a row. Then you see a shark fin in the water, with no small fish in sight. Do you abandon your streak to catch the shark? #animalcrossing #acnh

I decided to catch the shark, which turned out to be a hammerhead. It’s not that hard to find three small fish again.

Beardo pinged me, wanting a new catchphrase to replace “oh banana,” which he obviously learned from Louie. When a villager is using someone else’s custom catchphrase, that’s about the only time I actually do change it. 😛 I told Beardo to say “unbearable,” because that’s what he is. But he turned it around on me like a savage.

I gave him a few hits with my net for that one. 😛

Once I caught three (more) small fish, I returned to C.J.; he gave me 15,000 bells for the six fish in my pockets (which included the hammerhead).

Not long after that, I spotted a very large fish shadow in my small circular pond (the Zelda fairy fountain). I fished out an arapaima!

With that, and several other fish I grabbed out of storage, I scored another 168,000 bells from C.J.

As if that didn’t already get me into a fishing mood, Louie asked me to catch a tilapia for him. So I continued fishing until I caught one…and of course, I caught a lot of other good fish in the process too. Louie ultimately gave me a loungewear shirt for the tilapia, but the real prize was all the other fish I was able to sell: Another 110,000+ bells worth; that’s nearly 300k in total for the day! 😮

I took my earnings over to Resident Services and deposited the money into my account. My balance has now reached 40 million bells. 😎

I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. Hope to see you then!

On Sunday, Agent S said that she loves living in Forest, at least partially because she’s the queen bee here! Isn’t she kind of insulting everyone else?

Roscoe the black horse was camping at the campsite on Sunday. He just moved out of my Wild World town on Friday, so I guess he took a camping trip before choosing a new place to live. 😛

I did not ask him to move in.

On Monday (yesterday), Sasha sent me a moody painting in the mail. It was real, but I didn’t need it.

I remembered to go out to the hospital to see Joan, and she gave me 30 turnips. While I was there, I also saw Dr. Octavian. I told him I had a runny nose, and he needed me to be more specific. 😂

I had the option to say it was dripping or running, and I said running (again). He gave me some double nose tissues to stick up my nose, and then he sent me on my way. 😛

At Nook’s Cranny today, Marina told me that she was keeping an eye on a surveillance camera that was up for sale. Actually, it was keeping an eye on her too. 😉

But that wasn’t the only camera for sale in the shop. They also had an SLR camera, which cost a hefty 30,000 bells. I didn’t have it in my catalog though, so I bought it.

Back outside, Bones wanted to play a treasure hunt game. He gave me six minutes to find the buried item, but I found it in just 22 seconds!

My prize was a tiger-face tee dress.

I found Static sitting on the ground near my “Welcome to Forest” cliff/waterfall. But he had such a derpy look his face, it almost made me laugh. 😛

If you haven’t seen my latest video, New Horizons Moments #15 (which I posted on Sunday), here it is:

Hope to see you again soon!

Ketchup was sick with a cold today, so I crafted some medicine for her. She gave me a sports tank in return.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Chorale for me. Unfortunately, none of my villagers joined in to see the show.

I later went out to Lottie’s Island to work a shift at Paradise Planning. While I was there, T-Bone said he wanted a place that would set his soul on fire.

He should know that I’m likely to take his request literally. I chose a location in the woods, where there will be plenty of firewood. Some fencing should help to… uh… corral his appetite until we’re ready to start cooking.

Indoors, I added some wooden furniture, and a few bonfires to keep him warm.

Here’s to a job well done. 😉

Back at the office, Lottie paid me 15,000 Poki for my work. And Niko announced that the venue for the concert is ready! There are balloons and towers set up on the north beach.

Wardell is in charge of hiring a musician, so the concert should be coming up soon. I’m getting really close now!

Look for a new New Horizons Moments video soon, possibly by tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you next time. 🙂
