Static’s Birthday

Yesterday, I sold a couple of bugs, a spinning wheel that Hornsby gave me, and an unwanted D.I.Y. recipe. The total just happened to come out to 2,022 bells. 😛

Timmy: And done! I can buy these from you for a total of 2,022 bells. Sound good?

It reminded me of the grab bags sold on Sale Day in the GameCube version of Animal Crossing. The price (in bells, obviously) is always the same as the current year.

Today, C.J. hosted the summer fishing tournament. I gave it a try, but I didn’t do very well. I only caught four fish, and I was stuck on a potential 5th one that refused to take the bait. 😛 Even with the bonus points, my score was a paltry six points.

C.J.: SPLASH! That's 6 points!
He couldn’t even look at me. 😋

But on the bright side, one of the four I caught was an arowana.

Marina summed up my pathetic attempt in just a few words. 😛

Marina: In 2022... Fish aren't biting.

A bit of trivia for you: Of the core Animal Crossing series, New Horizons is the only game that has a fishing tournament in July. 🐟

Today is Static’s birthday, so I crafted him a tree’s bounty lamp (made with acorns). I then headed over to his party, where he and Ketchup were gleefully strutting around. 😂

Static celebrates his birthday with Ketchup.

I gave him the lamp, and he said it was one of the best gifts he’s ever received. Hopefully he doesn’t try to eat the acorns off of it.

Static: Well, I'll zap you, I didn't expect a tree's bounty lamp!

Later on in the evening, I remembered that I didn’t redeem my tournament points for a prize. But when I spoke to C.J. again, he reminded me that I didn’t sell my fish yet either! I had forgotten all about that! So I sold my four fish for 21,450 bells, and then I redeemed 10 of my 12 points for a fishing-rod stand.

K.K. Slider has the night off, but he should be back tomorrow night.

See you all next time!
