Glowing Painting

It was raining again yesterday, and Bones told me to be careful so that I don’t slip, fall, and crack my coconut.

Bones: Careful... The ground's wet! Don't slip and fall! You'll crack your coconut!
And you be careful not to break your Bones!

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked at the north shore. He had a fake serene painting, a fake jolly painting, a glowing painting I wasn’t sure about, and a warrior statue I also wasn’t sure about. I decided to take a chance and buy the glowing painting, because I like how it looked.

Wisp was also in town, and he gave me a humidifier for gathering up his spirits for him.

Today, I received the glowing painting in the mail from Redd. I took it up to the museum, and Blathers confirmed its authenticity. 🙂

Glowing Painting - July 22nd, 2021 - Donated by Jeff

When I visited Louie, he told me about a dream he had: His abs were a 64-pack, and each of those abs also had its own 64-pack.

Louie: I had this awesome dream... My abs were a 64-pack, and each of THOSE abs had its own 64-pack.

It made me think of Donkey Kong 64, which came with a N64 expansion pak…especially since it’s Louie, the Donkey Kong lookalike, who had the dream!

There’s no Friday Night Forest this week. But the next Bug-Off is coming up on Saturday, so I’ll probably post my next entry then. Have a good Friday!

Mecha-Hornsby

Wisp was in town on Sunday night, so I gathered up his spirits for him. Two at a time. 😉

I caught a Wisp spirit piece! Brrrr--it's kinda cold!

When I returned them all to him, he gave me a (yellow) diner chair.

Hornsby was talking about wishing on shooting stars. He said that he was going to wish that he would become a giant robot version of himself, called Mecha-Hornsby. He would even let me ride on his shoulder. 😀

Hornsby: Also? Since I'd be a giant? You could ride on my shoulder!

Yesterday, Louie hopped into his chair as I entered his house…and I just thought it looked funny. 😛

Louie hangs mid-air above his chair.

Celeste was in town, and she taught me the DIY recipe for a tulip wand.

SWEET! I learned a DIY recipe for a tulip wand!

There was a camper in town, and I was horrified when I walked in and saw an evil clown!

Pietro the evil clown shows up as a camper in my New Horizons town.

I was fortunate just to escape with my life. I hope that thing never shows up in Forest again!

Today, Bones told me he tried to fill his house with furniture that feels like him. But he assured me that he’s still softer. 😀 Aww, I wish I could pet him and see. 😛

Bones: A huh huh huh! Whaddays think? I tried to find furniture that raelly felt like me! But I'm still softer.

It was raining in town, which means I’ll have lots of new flowers to clean up tomorrow. That’s never fun, but at least it’s been a while since I’ve had rain so it’s not too heartbreaking. 😛

Disappearing Elephant

It’s K.K. Slider night, and several of my villagers were seated around K.K. to enjoy the show. However, Eloise was standing right in the middle of them. She wasn’t walking through, she was literally just standing there doing nothing.

Eloise stands in the center of K.K.'s performance area.

So I decided to have a little fun with it…or at least try to. In older Animal Crossing games, you could request a phony song title and K.K. would (after the show), say something like “Sorry, but I don’t know _____________.” I used this multiple times in previous games.

K.K.: Thing is... I don't know why I kissed you. It's just not on my set light, dig?

So I tried something similar, and hoped that Eloise would still be standing there by the end of the song. I wanted K.K. to say “I don’t know why she’s standing there.” Once making the request, I sat down, and the song started. But something happened that I was not expecting: Eloise disappeared once the show started!

Everyone gathers around K.K. Slider, except for Eloise, who disappeared!

Just to be clear, she did not walk out of the area. But apparently, villagers who aren’t seated no longer show up during shows?? Watching villagers walk through shows was also fun, so I really don’t understand why they changed this…unless it’s just a glitch?

Once the song ended, Eloise reappeared. But I was very disappointed by something else: K.K. does not mention the song title you requested. He just says he “didn’t know the song you wanted.”

K.K.: Well, I've got a confession. I didn't know the song you wanted, so I pulled one out of my back catalog.

Oh well. It was worth a try, though!

When I spoke with Bones, he said sometimes plays so hard that he forgets to go home when the sun goes down. He also forgets where he lives, and even wonders if he’s a werewolf and if he ate someone. Wow, that’s really bad.

Bones: I scream, 'What am I doing outside? How'd I get out of my house? Am I a werewolf? DID I EAT ANYBODY?!'

But Eloise and Bones weren’t the only villagers acting weird tonight. Tia told me that she likes her ears in her tea! 😉

Tia: I'll come right out and say it... I like my ears, in my tea!

I did a little diving (to meet a Nook Miles+ goal, of course), and I found a scallop. Pascal showed up and started talking about tall people. He also made an X-Files reference, saying “the truth is up there” instead of “the truth is out there.” 😛

Pascal: Tall people, maaan. Is the extra reach worth all the bonked heads? The answer is up there...

I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. See you next time!
