On Sunday night, Louie asked me to play a treasure hunt game. He gave me six minutes to find the buried treasure, and I needed most of that time. It took me four and a half minutes to find it, which is unusually long! But when I returned the gift to him, he opened it up…and gave me his photo! It’s a duplicate, but that’s still a nice gift.

Yesterday, Saharah was in town. I bought a flowing-river flooring and a dark-chocolate wall from her.

Today, Louie did something nice again: He sent me some art in the mail!

It was a robust statue, and it was authentic! Even more importantly, it was one that I needed for the museum! He also sent me a statue I needed in August too, so he’s been quite helpful lately!

Hornsby asked me to play a treasure hunt game today, but he only gave me three minutes. But this time, I only needed about `15 seconds to find the item! However, this prize was just an apron.

Over at Nook’s Cranny, Apollo said that the cat grass wasn’t grabbing him. He’s not a cat, so I didn’t think that was much of a surprise. I don’t know what he was expecting.

Jolly Redd was in town tonight, so I boarded his ship. He had three works of art that I already had in the museum (2 were fake, 1 was real), and he also had a moody painting. I wasn’t sure if it was real or fake, but I bought it regardless. I’ll find out tomorrow.

I had Wisp in my town on Sunday night and then again tonight. He gave me a rotary phone on Sunday and a blue diner wall tonight.

There is a new seasonal item available for the Day of the Dead: It’s a marigold decoration, and you can order it now through November 3rd.

Yesterday, I listened in on a conversation between Marina and Hornsby. They were playing a word game, and Hornsby had to come up with a word that rhymed with ninja. He decided on “binge-yeah,” and Marina objected to that because it’s not a real word.

She said he was just mashing up two unrelated words, and that was true. But that just made Hornsby start thinking of mashing foods together, in this case, pie and ice cream.

He called the new invention “pice-cream.”

Today, Apple told me she was on a mission: She wanted to take a great photo with every NookPhone filter. She particularly liked the “dramatic” filter.

She even joked that it might make her too powerful. 😛

It was K.K. Slider night, and I asked him for a random song. He performed K.K. Waltz for me, Marina, Bones, Hornsby, and Apollo. The song was just alright, but it was nice to have a bunch of villagers at the concert.

After the show, I waltzed inside Resident Services. In honor of the recent release of Metroid Dread, I decided to make the Metroid find-item jingle my new town tune.

In case you’re wondering, I haven’t bought Metroid Dread yet, but I plan on getting it soon.

Less than two weeks until the New Horizons update arrives! 🙂 I’ll see you all next time.

Yesterday, Gullivarrr sent me a pirate dress in the mail. It’s getting to the point that it’s almost not worth helping Gullivarrr out when all he sends me are duplicates of clothing items I’ll never wear.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in an outdoorsy outfit. I put on some outdoor shorts and an outback hat to go along with my skull tee (and impish wings, which I actually forgot I was wearing). I was slightly surprised when Label mentioned that it was fashion perfection…but I’ll take it!

She rewarded me with a Labelle skirt. Wow, so I got a skirt and a dress from special characters on the same day. What’s next, a tutu?

Today, Agent S sent me a letter with a fashion item she wanted me to wear. So I checked the attached item, and it was a paper bag! I decided to put it on.

When I visited her, she told me that if I poke Agent S, she rolls up into a ball! Is she Samus Aran? 😀

But actually, she was talking about her pet pill bug, who is also named Agent S.

I found Cobb the ugly green pig hanging out in a tent at the campsite. I should have given him the paper bag to wear. 😀

While I was doing some fishing (for a Nook Miles+ goal), I noticed Tia lying on a throwback race-car bed up on Rainbow Road! I don’t recall seeing a villager do that before! But she quickly stood back up, as I reeled in the fish. I guess it was just a quick nap.

I posted a new video today, ranking my top ten most-wanted new features from the recent Nintendo Direct. Check it out if you’re interested, and let me know what features you’re looking forward to most!

See you all next time!
