Beardo the Anchorman

On Sunday, I learned some breaking news: Beardo was once an anchorman!

Beardo: It's like when I was a news anchor for a brief period of time.
Stay classy.

Hmm, he does look a bit like Ron Burgundy with that mustache, now that he mentions it…

K.K. Slider was in town for his rescheduled appearance, and I told him I was in a good mood. So he played K.K. Disco for me…which then ruined my mood (just kidding). Ketchup, Hornsby, and Marina were also there for the show.

K.K.: Right on, you hep cats and kittens. Jeff's in the mood for K.K. Disco, dig?

On Monday, Beardo mentioned Alex, who visited on Friday night. He really loved Alex’s “stage name.”

Beardo: The Definition of Trash!

He wished he thought of it himself, and I agree. It really describes Beardo well (and not Alex).

Marina asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “oh banana,” which she learned from Louie. I hate when villagers use catchphrases made specifically for someone else, so I changed hers to “eight times.”

Marina: Oh, thank you so much! I'll start using this new catchphrase from here on out, eight time!
Knowing me, you’ll use it a lot more than that.

Today, Naomi the blue cow was camping at the campsite. I had no interest in inviting her to graze in Forest, so she can keep on mooving.

Naomi, at the campsite: Well, you're not a shy one, are you? My name's Naomi. How kind of you to stop by.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in some formal clothes. She gave me an emblem blazer to use as an example. I went home to change into a vibrant tuxedo, top hat, and wedding shoes. Label loved it, and she gave me some Labelle socks.

Label: Amazing! I've never seen an outfit so perfectly coordinated!
That’s a lie.

I’m working on putting together the next Wi-Fi Moments video, so look for it in the next couple of days! See you again soon!

Forced to Redecorate

The July Bug-Off was held today, and I just barely had enough time to play one round of competition. This horned elephant was my most notable (and valuable) catch of the round.

I caught a horned elephant! Gotta keep this up!

I ended up with 7 bugs, which equated to 9 points after the bonus was added.

Flick: Well done. You earned 9 points.

I sold my bugs to Flick for a total of 13,305 bells. However, I forgot to redeem my points for a prize. Oh well. They’ll keep until next time.

I neglected to include this in last night’s entry, but Alex drew this picture of Beardo on my bulletin board. You know, since he’s my “favorite” villager. 😂

Alex from Pawnee drew Beardo on my ACNH bulletin board.

Inside Resident Services, I complained about Agent S to Isabelle…to reset her house so that it no longer looks like a “starter” house. That’s right, Isabelle and I are forcing Agent S to redecorate. 😂

Isabelle: I'll see what I can do about reverting the exterior. For the interior, we'll need to talk to Agent S.

Even though Isabelle’s comment about the exterior scared me for a second, the only change I noticed on the outside is that her doorplate/wreath has been removed. But the inside was changed dramatically. First, this is what it looked like before:

The old design of Agent S's house.

Lots of wood furniture, without much color or personality. And now?

The new look of Agent S's house.

Completely different! More variety and more color! Although the boxing/wrestling items seem a bit odd for a peppy villager, I still think this is a huge improvement! She’s like a brand new Agent. 😉 Thanks to Xavier for the tip/reminder. 🙂

I just wonder what Isabelle did with Agent S’s pet bugs. 😛

See you all next time!

July FNF

I opened my gate tonight at about 10:02 for Friday Night Forest. Alec, Wiicked (formerly Sacky), Bran, and Alex (from Pawnee) were the first few people to show up. They raided my area of free D.I.Y. recipes, and I was happy to see that most of them got used up.

We then held some space races: Alec beat Bran, and then Alex beat Wiicked. As Alec and Alex started a head-to-head battle for the title, Xavier came in. 😛 We re-started the race, and Alex won the grand prize: The universe. Well, that and 99k. 😛

Alec vs. Alex in the space race.

We then held a few bonus races just for fun. Bran beat Xavier, and then Wiicked also beat Xavier. (Sorry, Xavier!) 😛 But everybody got to play two matches, so we ended our space mission for the night.

Logan joined in, and we all hung out in my house for a while. This was my first Friday Night Forest since I’ve redecorated my house at the end of May. After a while, we all went to annoy Beardo. I used some party poppers to blow his brains out. 😛

We hung out in the Animal Crossing museum/castle for a bit, and then we took a group photo on the Wordle lights.

Somehow, we ended up near Resident Services. I mentioned that next year will be New Leaf’s 10th anniversary, which seems insane. In fact, the 10th anniversary of the American release date will be on a Friday, which has me toying with the idea of having a New Leaf Friday Night Forest for the occasion. Of course, that’s still 11 months away, but it’s an idea.

Around 11:40, Wiicked left for home. Shortly after, Alex turned into Papa Smurf! He always has the most unique, creative costume ideas. Then we all went up to the Roost for some late-night coffee.

We then had some deep, serious, philosophical discussions.

Why isn't the plural of Smurf, Smurves?

We then enjoyed some of the arts. In particular, my newly-completed art gallery.

Bran left around 12:20, Logan left around 12:30, and I ended the session at nearly 12:45. Thanks to all who came, I had fun!

I’ll be back with another blog entry tomorrow.
