Bob on the Roof

On Wednesday, Static told me he wanted to finish all of the projects he’s started over the course of his life. He said it was a bucket list thing, and his first goal was to complete his bucket collection. 🪣

Static: I guess it's kinda like a bucket-list thing. And first on the list? Complete my bucket collection!

I ran into Pascal while diving, and he asked why lions are considered kings of the jungle when they actually live in the savanna. Good question…maybe they’ve been lion to us all along! 🦁

Pascal: Lions are the kings of the jungle, but they live in the savanna. So, do they like ruling from a distance, or what?
Pascal gave me a pearl for the scallop I caught.

Yesterday, Bob was talking about wishing on shooting stars. He told me that one time, he asked a star for a ride…

Bob: One time I asked a star to give me a ride. But I wasn't real specific about where I wanted to go to.

But because he didn’t wish to arrive at a specific location, he just ended up on the roof of Resident Services! 😆 Be careful what you wish for!

Bob: That's how I ended up on the roof of Resident Services, on the rug!
Bob is now the top cat of Resident Services!

Jay the bird (I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that he’s a blue jay) was camping at the campsite. He seems pretty cool, but I didn’t invite him to move in.

Jay: Anyway, thanks for hosting me. This place is awesome!

Tonight, I attended K.K. Slider’s show at the plaza. We actually had a bit of a crowd for a change: Ankha, Merengue, and Static joined me on a musical adventure. K.K. Adventure, that is. 🎵

K.K. Slider performs for Ankha, Jeff, Merengue, and Static.

In case you haven’t seen my latest video, which I posted yesterday, here it is. It’s New Horizons Moments #31:

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • On Sunday, a perfect snowboy I built sent me an ice wall.
  • Tuesday, Merengue was sick with a cold. I gave her some medicine, and she gave me a shop uniform shirt to thank me.
  • I returned a lost book to Louie, and he gave me a zen uniform.
  • I shot down a balloon present tonight, and I found a jockey’s helmet inside. I guess I can wear it to stirrup some excitement. 😛

Scalloped Potatoes

On Monday, I listened in on a conversation between Merengue and Louie. Merengue was looking for cooking ideas, but she said Louie’s ideas were dull. (He was just suggesting protein shakes, basically.) So I suggested scalloped potatoes…and it’s making me hungry just thinking about them! 😋

Merengue: Scalloped potatoes are the best! Piping hot, covered in melty cheese... Mmmm, a berry!

Lately, I’ve been having trouble doing the hot tub/fountain glitch in this particular spot. It used to be very easy to do it here, and now I can’t do it at all!

The fountain spot.

So I’m wondering if they changed something. But at the same time, I know they haven’t patched the glitch completely, because I can still glitch into my glowing-moss pond in a different location. 🤷

I can still glitch into this.

On Thursday, Michael Jackson was camping at the campsite. Oops, I mean Olaf. This is his 2nd time camping here, and I was (still) not interested in asking the smooth criminal to move in.

Olaf: Heya! Are you from around here? I'm kinda on vacation, just relaxing and focus-grouping a few things.

I was in the Roost yesterday, and I was taking some photos from unique angles. I love how detailed the Roost is! I think this photo is my favorite.

A unique angle of the Roost.

Tonight, Ketchup joined me for K.K. Slider’s concert. I asked the singing dog for a random song, and he performed “K.K. Calypso” for us.

K.K. Slider performs for Ketchup and Jeff.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

  • Last Sunday, K.K. performed “Space K.K.” for me and Rio. Far out, man.
  • I’ve recently bred my first black tulips, so I’m saving them up for a D.I.Y. recipe I’ve never been able to craft.
  • I helped Gulliver on Thursday, and he sent me a milkmaid hat yesterday.
  • I haven’t been trying to make many snowboys this winter, but I did make a perfect one today. He’ll send me a gift in the mail.

See you all next time!

No Words

On Tuesday, Bob was telling me that he always falls asleep when he’s listening to music on his stereo. So because of that, he said he doesn’t know the words to any of K.K.’s songs.

Bob: That's why I don't know the words to any of K.K.'s songs, even though I listen to 'em all the time!

But…do they even have words??? I have no words. 😛

If you’re wondering why I was dressed as a hot dog, it’s because I was making a short silly video of me dancing. In a hot dog suit. 😛 It uses an Awolnation song, so I won’t be posting it to Youtube (at least not in this form).

On Thursday, Rodney was again camping at the campsite. That was his third time camping here in Forest!

Rodney, at the campsite: Ahoy. Rodney is my name, and traveling, singing very loudly, and dance are my passions three.

Yeah, you look like a real passionate person, Rodney. 😆

The January fishing tournament was held today, and I decided to participate in one run. I ended up catching seven fish in the three-minute span, and two of the fish were red snappers.

I caught a red snapper! Gotta keep this up!

The seven fish earned me a total of 9 points, and C.J. paid me 10,950 bells for my fish. I forgot to check if I had enough points for a prize, but that’s okay. They’ll carry over to next time. Not to mention, I’m sure I’ve received all the rewards before anyway.

As most of my villagers were fishing, I spotted a Rajah Brooke birdwing. Honestly, it feels a bit weird that such a big, fairly valuable butterfly is still available in the middle of winter. When I caught it, you could see Bob and Ankha concentrating on their fishing in the background. 😛

I caught a Rajah Brooke's birdwing! Nothing else I'd rajah be doing!

They weren’t having much luck catching any fish, as you might imagine.

Ankha: I'm not having much luck today, in my tomb! Where ARE all the fishies?

Because of the tournament, K.K. Slider did not visit for his usual Saturday night show.
