A Recording Studio, or Five

While diving yesterday, I found another scallop…and Pascal. This time, he was talking about the number 13…and donuts. 🍩

Pascal: If 13 is an unlucky number, why do they call it a baker's dozen? That's a free donut, maaan!

In exchange for the scallop, Pascal gave me another pearl. I had been saving my pearls in storage, even though I almost never actually use them. In fact, I currently have 80 of them in storage. So I decided to sell this one, and the Nooklings paid me 10,000 bells for it! Not bad!

Vivian the wolf was at the campsite, and I like her a lot. If I had an empty spot in town, I probably would have asked her to move in.

Vivian: Ah, do you live here? I'm Vivian. A pleasure.

Agent S said she was impressed by the Nook Miles I’ve been racking up. She said she’s been saving up her own points to buy a recording studio, or five. 😛

Agent S: I'm working on my own point totals. I want to use them to buy a recording studio, or five.

The “or five” part is a catchphrase I gave her, but it fit in perfectly there. 😛

Tonight, K.K. Slider was out playing music in the rain. I joined Agent S, Louie, and Ketchup for a performance of Soulful K.K.

As you probably know, September is salmon season. This makes the Nook Miles+ cooking goals easier. You can create a dish (carpaccio di salmone) with just salmon; no other ingredients required! It comes in handy when those cooking goals pop up on your daily list.

I posted my latest Wi-Fi Moments video today, and it includes highlights from the three parties I attended in July and August. Check it out if you’re interested!

See you next time!

Squirrel Break

On Sunday morning, I bought 2,400 turnips from Daisy Mae, priced at 94 bells apiece. The total cost was 225,600 bells.

On Sunday night, I helped out Wisp by recovering his spirits. In return, he gave me a bottled beverage.

On Monday, I found my squirrels enjoying some nice beverages of their own on the bench at the plaza. They’re so cute. 🙂

Static, sitting with Agent S on a bench: Hey, it's tater tot! Always a pleasure.
Agent S: Hmm... What should I do tonight?

I bought a simple small dresser and a merchandise table from Jolly Redd, since both were color variations I didn’t have in my catalog.

On Tuesday, I helped out Gullivarrr. He sent me some pirate flooring yesterday.

Today, the Nooklings were paying 131 bells for turnips. I sold enough of my turnips (1,750) to ensure a profit for the week. And I still have 700 left in case the price goes up any further.

Saharah was in town, and I found her on the beach. The odd part is that it looked like she was waving to the ocean! That was odd.

I was surprised by today’s message bottle, because it contained a D.I.Y. recipe I didn’t have yet! It’s for a gold-nugget mining car.

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a gold-nugget mining car!

When I went diving for a Nook Miles+ goal, I caught a scallop. Pascal popped up and started talking about missing socks.

Pascal: Does a missing sock think it's missing? Maybe it just chose the life of adventure, and that's cool.

Even though this dialogue sounded familiar to me, it’s not the same thing that I was thinking of. Yes, that’s right, Pascal has a different bit of dialogue about missing socks (see the other one).

Nose Stuff

On Tuesday, Flo the penguin was camping at the campsite. I think she was trying to sell me some insurance. 😉

Flo: Hey, thanks for stoppin' by. So...is everyone here, like, SUPER friendly?
No.

On Thursday, I really liked the look of the purple clouds behind the purple cat as I gave Bob a sword.

Bob: A sword!

In return, he gave me a maxi shirtdress. Not exactly the best trade for me, but I’m going to spoil Bob regardless. 🙂

It was raining in Forest tonight, and Ankha was enjoying a nice walk. She said she had no idea how refreshing a walk in the rain could be, in a pyramid. Yeah, I guess she wouldn’t even know it was raining from inside a pyramid. 😛 Unless the pyramid had leaks, I suppose.

Ankha: You know, an evening stroll in the rain is surprisingly refreshing. I had no idea, in a pyramid.

Static said that a rainy day like today would be a good time to go in Resident Services and work on a DIY project. Yeah, I remember crafting there early in the game…but I thought this dialogue was outdated. I didn’t think there was still a crafting table once Resident Services got a full building, so I went to check it out. To my surprise, there is still a crafting table! Wow.

Should I craft something using Tom Nook's workbench?

Poor Punchy was sick tonight, and he made it sound a bit grosser than it needed to be.

Punchy: Where'd I leave those tissues? I got a lotta nose stuff that needs to be in those tissues.

I crafted him some medicine, and he started to feel a bit better. He gave me a plain do-rag to say thanks.

K.K. Slider was performing out in the rain tonight, and he played K.K. Ska for me. Three of my shortest villagers joined me for the show.

Static, Agent S, and Ketchup join Jeff for a K.K. Slider concert in the rain.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • I helped Gulliver on Tuesday, and he sent me a pagoda in the mail.
  • I sold 20 bugs to Flick for 117,450 bells Wednesday.
  • I sold 25 fish to C.J. for 341,700 bells yesterday.
  • Those bug/fish sales pushed my savings balance over 67 million bells.

See you all next time!
