Beardo’s Birthday

On Sunday night, K.K. Slider was in town. He played K.K. Lovers for me and Bones.

K.K. Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Lovers?
Wait, we’re just friends… 😋

Today is Beardo’s birthday, so I headed over to the recycle box at Resident Services to look for some trash to give him. When I made it to Beardo’s party, I was disappointed to see Static there. He was saying “Go, go, Beardo,” but he didn’t mean it the same way that I would. 😛 He was actually cheering him on, which I could never do.

Static: Go, go, Beardo!

Beardo asked for a present, and I gave him an empty can. However, he thought it was a joke! He laughed, and then handed it back to me.

Beardo: Ha HA! Now this is funny. You did mean for it to be a joke, right?
I can assure you it’s no joke.

So I again had to choose a gift for him. Fortunately, I brought a backup: a cardboard box. 📦 He actually seemed to like it!

Beardo: Hey, I won't say no to a cardboard box.
I ship it.

When I spoke with Static again, he seemed more relatable this time. He admitted it was a struggle to get through a party with Beardo like this. He was glad I showed up to help make it through. 😛

Static: Parties like this can be a struggle for me to get through, sometimes. I'm glad you were here with me.

After the party, I visited Rio. She was shocked to see I had a sea bass in my pockets.

Rio: A sea bass?! GET! OUT!

But she wasn’t telling me to leave, she was letting me know she wanted the sea bass! She offered me 600 bells for it, and I gladly agreed to sell it.

I found both Celeste and Gulliver on the island tonight. Celeste gave me a large star fragment, while Gulliver promised to send me a gift in the mail (after I recovered his phone parts).

See you all next time!

Nicky’s Party

On Wednesday, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate-ship helm in the mail. Not bad.

Yesterday, Agent S urged me to take off her bandages! Well, sort of.

Agent S: I'm really hoping you'll take my head bandages off my hands.
They’re supposed to go on your head, not your hands.

Fortunately, she was just giving me some bandages; they weren’t actually in use at the time. 😂

Last night, I headed over to Nicky’s town for her birthday party. Jesse, Matthew, Jac, and Sam also joined in. Jesse put Nicky’s head on a platter pizza!

Nicky's head on a pizza?

While I was there, I learned that the bug cage is actually a clothes closet!

Heh heh. There's an outfit in here called, Kiki & Lala.

I spotted a buried pitfall that wasn’t mine, but I decided to help lure someone into the trap. I said “Look at this snail!” and Sam came over and fell into it. 😛

Sam fell into a pitfall.

I guess I could consider this revenge for when he pitfalled me in his town last month. 😛

We headed over to Nicky’s house for some cake and photos before Nicky wrapped up the party.

Celebrating Nicky's birthday.

Happy birthday, Nicky!

After completing a few Nook Miles+ achievements tonight, my balance topped two million miles!

Nook Miles: 2,000,030.

The Bug-Off is coming up tomorrow, but I’m not sure if I’ll participate. I think I may sit this one out for a change. But good luck to you all, and I hope you have a great weekend! 🙂

Pascal’s Duck Rant

Yesterday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and I was coincidentally dressed for the occasion (thanks to Label’s recent visit). But Animal Crossing’s pirate showed up a day late, as Gullivarrr was on shore today, looking for his communicator. I went diving and promptly found what he was looking for, so he’ll reward me with a gift in the mail tomorrow.

Gullivarrr: Ye saved me life! That's a debt that needs repayin', so I'll ship ye a fine reward soon--expedited! Arrr!

But while I was diving, I caught a scallop. That caused Pascal to pop up and demand it. He also told me some wise words about ducks. 🦆🦆🦆

Pascal: Anyone who tells you to get your ducks in a row has never met a duck. Maaan, they do not follow directions.

I found a lost item (a book) on the ground, and I returned it to its owner, Ketchup. She was glad to have her autograph book back, and she rewarded me with a skateboarding helmet.

Ketchup: BOOM! It's totally a skateboarding helmet!
BOOM? Did it just explode, or what?

I spotted a ghost twice in the past two days: Wisp gave me a porcelain vase on Sunday night, and an evergreen ash tonight.

Today marks two and a half years since the release of New Horizons. As I find myself spending less and less time with the game, I feel it’s time to reduce the frequency of blog entries a bit. (Although I still plan on playing the game daily.) There will now be a minimum of two new entries each week, instead of three.

So I’ll be back later in the week with more. Have a great day!
