On Saturday, Gullivarrr sent me a pirate’s hat in the mail for helping him out last week.

When I visited Hornsby, he told me that his grandma made him dream of “pah-sketti” and brownies. 😛 I’m not sure how she “made” him do it, but it sounds like a tasty dream!

The Bug-Off was held, but I only played one round. I ended up catching ten bugs (for a score of 12 points). I redeemed my points for a termite mound and a bug wand.

Yesterday, K.K. Slider was in town after being bumped from his usual night thanks to the Bug-Off.

I asked him for a random song, and he played Comrade K.K. for me and Bones.

Today, C.J. was in town with another seasports challenge for me. He wanted to see me catch three small-fry fish in a row. So I caught a clown fish, a crucian carp, and a freshwater goby to complete the challenge.

I had a huge backlog of fish to sell, since I’ve been storing my valuable fish for over a month. And that included a lot that I caught earlier this month while looking for my first golden trout. So I went home and filled up my pockets with fish from storage. C.J. paid a whopping 745,500 bells for them all!

Except that wasn’t everything! I returned home and grabbed another, smaller haul. I sold the rest of the fish for another 244,500 bells. That’s a grand total of 990,000 bells! Nearly a million bells worth of fish! Why does C.J. walk around with that kind of money? 😉

Note: I later caught and sold another 26k of fish, just to officially make it over a million bells worth of fish for the day.

Meanwhile, Hornsby told me that he’s been going outside and singing heavy metal at the top of his lungs. He’s a strange dude, but I like him. 😛

See you all next time!

I had a productive start to my session today: Immediately after checking my mail, I found three of today’s four fossils right near my house. Not bad for my first 35 seconds of gameplay. 😛

The 4th one wasn’t very far away either, so I ended up identifying all of my fossils before I was even able to check my beach. But once I did, I found Gullivarrr passed out on the shore. I went diving for his communicator and then returned it to him.

Nook’s Cranny had a synthesizer today, even though it was rather expensive (66k). Since I needed it for my catalog, I went ahead and bought it. I wrapped it up and gave it to Apple, because today is her birthday!

Forest’s other peppy villager, Agent S, was also at the party. It looked like everyone was having a good time! Happy birthday, Apple! 🎂

In case you’re curious, Keaton was the friend that attended Apple’s birthday party last year.

Back outside, Eloise informed me that a magazine has published a fashion photo of her!

It’s on the last page of a free magazine from her hometown, but still. Congrats to her! 🙂

Static has now unpacked all his furniture, so I got to see the inside of his house for the first time. He has a lot of black furniture (much of it is rattan) and a couple of electric guitars. I really like it! Well, maybe not the wallpaper so much, but everything else is great IMO.

When I ran into Marina, I gave her an octopus that I caught while diving. 😛 She appreciated the gift, but she didn’t seem to understand that it’s the same species as her.

I’ll see you all next time. Have a good weekend, everyone!

Yesterday, I found a lost item on the ground. It was a bag with some gym clothes inside. Now that Louie is the only remaining jock in town, I knew the bag belonged to him. So I took it over, and he rewarded me with a figure-skating costume.

I bought a cute bed at Nook’s Cranny, and I wrapped it up and gave it to Marina. She enjoyed it so much that she gave me her photo in return! 😮

I took it home and put it in my house. Her favorite quote on the back is “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” This is my 14th villager photo.

After I finished making my rounds, I grabbed six Nook Miles tickets and headed to the airport. However, I wouldn’t need all of those tickets. On the very first island I visited, I spotted my long-time GameCube buddy, Static the squirrel! I immediately invited him to Forest.

I completed a few Nook Miles+ goals while I was there, and I also picked up as many weeds as I could. When I returned to Forest, I ran into Wisp. I gathered up his spirits and he gave me some tatami (flooring).

Today, I went over to meet the newest resident of Apple Lane. Welcome to Forest, Static!

Celeste was in town tonight, and she gave me a large star fragment. I think this confirms that I’ve finally received all of her recipes.

At the plaza, Eloise, Hornsby, and Louie were grilling some food. It smelled delicious! 😉

Saharah was in town, so I bought the mysterious wallpaper and carpeting. It turns out that they matched! It was the white-chocolate wall and the white-chocolates flooring. But I just sold them to the Nooklings since I don’t have much storage space free.

If you haven’t yet heard the news, Nintendo has confirmed that The Roost will be coming to New Horizons (accessible through the museum) in November. And that’s not all; we’re getting an Animal Crossing dedicated Nintendo Direct in October! That seems to indicate that we’re finally getting a significant update to the game! Sweet!
