I’m Not a Squirrel

It was raining in town on Sunday, and I took advantage of the situation by catching two coelacanths! I think Bones was impressed with this one. 😉

Jeff, holding up a coelacanth near Bones: Blast from the past!

On Tuesday, Ed the horse was camping out at the campsite. He’s alright, but I did not invite him to the neigh-borhood.

Ed: Hey, you're a local, right? The name's Ed.

After putting some money in the bank, my savings balance reached 72 million bells.

Today, I found a scallop while diving, and Pascal popped up to ask for it. I handed it over, and he told me that statues could be people who aren’t in a rush. That’s actually pretty creepy to think about. Imagine if statues just stood up, stretched, and started walking around. 😛

Pascal: Maybe statues are just folks who aren't in such a rush all the time, maaan.

When I spoke with Static, he was wondering if I was a squirrel or not! 😆 He may be losing his mind at this point. He’s clearly nuts. 😛

Static: Are you a 'week's half over' or a 'half a week left' sort of squirrel? Wait, are you even a squirrel?
I’m not a squirrel, I’m a pirate.

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me wearing an “everyday” outfit. She gave me a kung-fu tee as an example to use. Wait, kung-fu is considered an everyday thing? It must be more common than I thought! I didn’t realize everybody was kung-fu fighting. 😛

Label: As you can see, it's a kung-fu tee with quite the everyday flair.

I put the shirt on, and I also added some denim pants, a denim cap, and some pleather sneakers. Label approved of the look, and she rewarded me with a Labelle knit shirt.

I have a bit of an announcement regarding this blog. I’ve been posting two entries every week for quite a while now, but I’m going to be changing this to a weekly blog now. There will still be a 2-entry week occasionally (particularly if a villager is moving in/out, or if I decide to have Friday Night Forest and I post an early-week notice about it).

I still plan on playing the game daily, and of course I’ll continue making videos as well. If you’re looking for more Animal Crossing content, please check out my other blogs as well. My City Folk and Wild World blogs are updated weekly, my New Leaf blog is update twice a month, and my GameCube blog is updated monthly. You can see the latest entries on the JVGS home page.

See you next time!

Evening Birds

Last night, I found a lost item on the ground. I returned it to its owner Louie, who could recognize it just by the awful smell. 😆

Louie: Ew! That smell... Uh, yeah. No doubt that's mine.

He thanked me for returning it by giving me his photo! Of course I already had four of them, but it’s the thought that counts, I guess. 😛

Tonight, Pascal popped up when I found a scallop in the ocean. I gave it to him, and he told me some words of wisdom about early birds and…evening birds?

Pascal: They say the early bird gets the worm, but those evening birds seem to be doing just fine.
Night owls be like “Hoo?”

Ankha was sick with a cold, so I crafted some medicine for her. She took a spin and consumed the medicine, and she started to feel better. She gave me an ironing board to thank me.

Ankha spins as she takes her medicine.

Saturday night is K.K. Slider night, so I asked the singing dog for a random song. He performed K.K. Robot Synth for me and Agent S. It’s not a song I’ve heard very often, but it sounded pretty good. 🤖

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Robot Synth?

Two of today’s fossils were inside my Zelda obstacle course, so it took me longer than usual to find them. Most days, I don’t walk through the course. Just when I haven’t found all of the fossils.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!

Calm Bones

On Sunday, I ran up to Ketchup to chat with her. As the camera zoomed in, it placed me and Ketchup between vertical columns of fire. Maybe I’m just easily amused, but I thought it looked pretty cool. 😆

Ketchup: Oh, sweetkins! I'm bottled up!
Ketchup is going to end up with some grill lines.

On Tuesday, I found Wisp in my Zelda obstacle course! Well specifically, he was on the divider that I use to follow the action. He always seems to pick awkward places to hang out.

Wisp hangs out between two moons on my obstacle course.

Once I found and returned his spirits, Wisp rewarded me with a desktop mic.

Today, Jolly Redd was in town. He had a color variation of a retro ice-cream case that I needed in my catalog, so I bought it. I just wish I could sample the ice cream…

Redd: The charm and elegance of the very finest oolong tea, wrapped up into a retro ice-cream case...

Bones kept going on and on about how “perfect” my vertical banner was. Could it be because it has bones on it? Maybe he wants to dig a hole and bury them. 😛

Bones: I have got nothing to say about the vertical banner. It's...it's perfect.

He tried to explain himself, saying he wasn’t being silly. He was just being…calm?

Bones: I'm not being silly. I'm just...real calm right now, at the Depot. Real calm.

Nah, you’re just being weird. But that’s okay, Bones. Weird can be good.

Just a few other quick notes about the past several days:

  • Static was sick on Monday, so I gave him some medicine. In return, he gave me a printed-sleeve sweater.
  • I helped Gullivarrr out, and he sent me a pirate barrel on Tuesday.
  • On Tuesday, I found two rare mushrooms, both in the same part of town (highest cliff level in the northwest).
  • Yesterday, I sold 11 bugs (mostly wasps) to Flick for 55,500 bells.
