Punch Out

Pascal recently wondered which came first, sea stars or actual stars. So he thought maybe we should be calling stars “sky fish” instead.

Pascal: They're called sea stars, but how do we know who came first? Maybe stars should be called sky fish.

Yesterday, Punchy told me that watching a movie made him want to go to new places (and move out of Forest).

Punchy: I was watching this movie all about going to new places...meeting new folks...and learning new stuff...

I thought about it for a bit, and I eventually decided to let him go. He has been here a year and a half, which is a decent amount of time for a random move-in. (In other words, he’s not a villager I hand-picked.)

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me in a sporty outfit. She gave me a muscle tank to use as an example, but I instead went with a baseball uniform, baseball cap, and cleats. Label loved the look, and she gave me a Labelle skirt.

Label: I am sooo impressed. Thank you for putting it together for me!

Today, Chadder the cheesy mouse was camping at the campsite for a 2nd time. (The first time was in 2022.) Why do I always get so many repeat campers? Anyway, I played a game with him…and lost.

Chadder, at the campsite: It's a heart!

Of course, I went to visit Punchy one last time before he was gone. Good luck on your move, Punchy! I’m sure we’ll meet again, in one game or another!

Punchy: And I'm gonna go have an adventure!

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so.

  • Last Wednesday, Bones gave me his photo again after I caught a stinkbug for him.
  • Last Thursday, I played a treasure hunt game with Static…and the prize was another copy of his photo too.
  • On Monday, Bones was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, and he gave me an energetic sweater.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr, and he sent me a pirate-treasure robe on Tuesday.
  • Bob started calling me “burrito” yesterday. 🌯

See you next time!

June’s Birthday

On Sunday, Bones asked me to deliver a gift to Static. That gift was a doublet, which Static put on right away. I’ve never seen Static looking so sharp!

Static tries on a doublet.

Static rewarded me with a chef’s outfit.

Over at the campsite, I found Charlise camping…again! This is the third time she’s camped here (all within the past year, too)! She’s my first three-time camper, and I hope there isn’t a 4th time. Enough already!

Charlise, at the campsite: Oh! Hope I'm not interrupting you or nothin'. I'm just out here campin'!

The Stamp Rally (for International Museum Day) is underway now, and I participated on Sunday. I visited all of the stations in each part of the museum to collect all of the stamps.

I collected all the bug stamps!

When I was done, Blathers gave me my rewards: a fish plaque, a bug plaque, a fossil plaque, and an art plaque. The event continues through May 31st, so you can participate every day if you want.

Blathers: To think you've enjoyed the Stamp Rally to such a degree! I can't help but puff my feathers with pride!

Yesterday, I helped out Gulliver by digging up his phone parts. He sent me a candy-skull mask in the mail today.

June’s birthday is today, so I wanted to craft her something tropical to match her house. I decided on a palm-tree lamp, customized with the tropical theme. When I attended her party, she was blown away by the gift. 😊

June: A palm-tree lamp!

Agent S was also there to help June celebrate, and I think we all had a great time. Happy birthday, June! 🙂

Me and Agent S help June celebrate her birthday in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

C.J. was in town, so I completed his seasports challenge, and then grabbed some fish from storage to sell him. He paid me 54,000 bells for the six fish (4 red snappers, an oarfish, and a coelacanth).

I posted my latest New Horizons Moments video this past weekend. So please check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. 🙂

One other thing, as I recently mentioned on Twitter: The noon theme song has become one of my favorite hourly tunes in New Horizons. It wasn’t really on my radar until fairly recently.

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll see you all next time. 🙂

Blind Knight

On Sunday, Bonbon the bunbun bunny was camping at the campsite. I didn’t ask her to move in, though I did want to take her sandwich. 😉

Bonbon, at the campsite: Hi there! I'm Bonbon! I'm here on a camping trip! You live on this island? Tres cool.

On Tuesday, a message bottle surprised me by actually having a D.I.Y. recipe that I still needed! It was for a fancy mum wreath. I wonder how many more recipes I still need! Probably not many.

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a fancy mum wreath!

The rainy season must be here now, because it’s been raining almost every day lately. And the few days that it’s not raining, I have to dig up all the new flower buds all over town from the previous day’s rain. I hate it. 😡

Digging up flower buds behind Rio's back.

Today, I bought a cup of coffee at the Roost. And you know how you close your eyes when you take a big drink? Well, having your eyes closed looks especially odd when you’re wearing a suit of armor. 💀

Me, eyeless and holding up a cup of coffee: And that's how I like it!
Drinking hot coffee through those little holes must be uncomfortable too.

Here are a few other quick notes about the past week or so:

  • Last Saturday, K.K. performed K.K. D&B for me and Bob.
  • On Monday, I returned a lost item to Punchy. He rewarded me with a baby-chick costume.
  • Ankha was sick with a cold on Tuesday, so I gave her medicine. In return, she gave me a soft-serve hat.
  • I helped out Gullivarrr on Wednesday, and he sent me a pirate-treasure chest on Thursday. That’s one of his better items. 👍
  • Flick was in town yesterday, and I sold him three tarantulas for 36,000 bells.

I’ll be posting my next New Horizons Moments video this weekend, so keep an eye out for it! 🙂
