Month: August 2022

On Monday, Beardo told me he was jealous of how cool I looked in my DJ KK logo tee. His jealous promptly turned into rage, and he even raised his leg as he prepared to attack!

Fortunately, I had some bear tranquilizers with me to use on the aggressive bear. He’ll be out for days, with a case of premature hibernation.

A new seasonal item is available for purchase through Nook Shopping, a Tomato Festival tee. From what I’ve heard, it could be the last new item we get (barring another update, of course). I ordered it Monday, and it arrived yesterday.

When I visited Ketchup, she said she had something that would go perfect with my outfit: a skateboarding helmet. And it actually did match the shirt, so I decided to keep it on.

Today, I dug up a fossil and my shovel broke. So I went to chop some wood, and of course, my axe then broke too.

It was one of those days, as I also broke my net and fishing rod later. Four broken tools in one day, yikes. 😛

Out on Lottie’s Island, I found this camouflaged froggy chair for sale at Paradise Planning. A deal this good is hard to find. 😉

I’m closing in on a couple of Nook Miles achievements that have been a long time coming. Perhaps I’ll have some news on at least one of them in the next entry. See you again soon!

At about 7:04 p.m., I opened my gate for Sunday Night Fireworks. But twice, I got disconnected when Alec tried to join. But the third try was the charm, as Beth, Alec, and Logan came over. We headed over to the plaza, and Isabelle gave me a flower bopper to wear.

We went up to my moon-viewing area to watch some fireworks…and fall into some holes.

After some more fun with handheld fireworks, we headed over to the space race. Logan was on “brb,” so Alec and Beth raced against each other. However, Alec missed one of the thrusters, so he had to go back for it. That allowed Beth to rocket ahead into a pretty big lead and she won the race. Congrats, Beth!

After a brief (but unsuccessful) search for Logan, we decided to just play some sumo. Beth defeated Alec, and then I defeated Beth.

Logan magically appeared around this time. He beat me, and then lost to Alec. So all four of us finished with one win and one loss! I’m tempted to say that’s pretty odd…but it’s actually pretty even! ⚖

After the matches, we all fell into the remaining pitfalls just for fun. 😛

We then had a 10-minute diving competition, and it was really close! Beth won with 22 catches, I had 21, Alec had 20, and Logan had 19.

Logan left around 8:40, and the rest of enjoyed the fireworks…while napping.

I closed my gate about 5-10 minutes later. Thanks to everyone who came, it was fun!

My storage has now been expanded to the max, and I can hoard an amazing total of 5,000 items.

K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and I told him I was in a great mood. He played K.K. Parade, for me, Louie, and Static. Even though it may be categorized as a happy song, it’s not exactly one of my favorites.

Marina was talking about taking baths, and how she likes to light candles and read a book while soaking in the tub. She said she gets so wrapped up in the book that she lets the bathwater get cold…eight times.

Bitty the hungry hungry hippo was camping at the campsite. She seemed nice, but there’s no way I was going to ask her to move in. So I took my marbles and went home.

After I got some coffee at the Roost, my Switch overheated again and shut down. I need to remember to turn on a fan every time I’m playing for more than a few minutes…at least until I get my Switch repaired or replaced.

Sunday Night Fireworks is coming up tomorrow, and I’ll be opening my gate at 7 p.m. Eastern time (4 p.m. Pacific, midnight London time). This may also be the last time I host space races.
