Summer Fishing Tourney

The game reminded me that the summer fishing tournament was held today, with C.J. as the host/judge.

Hello, everyone! This is a reminder that the Summer Fishing Tourney is now underway!

I was a bit short on time in the afternoon, but I squeezed in three runs. I scored 6 points, 9 points, and 8 points.

C.J.: SPLASH! That's 9 points!

C.J. informed me that I had 25 points in my pool, so I redeemed some of them for two items: a fish umbrella and a fish wand.

When I checked my mail later, I found an alpinist hat from Gulliver. I stuck it in storage without even checking the color.

I listened in on a conversation between Tia and Agent S tonight. Agent S was trying to decide on a gift to give Bones. She asked me how she should decide on a gift for him, and I suggested the “secretive research” response. Since she’s a spy, I figured she would like that option. 😉

Agent S: Ohmigosh! Spies are SO cool! I'm going to be a spy!

Hornsby told me about a game that he plays every night before bed. It’s called playing astronaut, and this is how it’s played:

Hornsby: I turn off all the lights and sit with a bucket on my head till I wake up on Planet Tomorrow!

Hornsby is so crazy. 😂😂 He said his grandpa taught him the game, but it sounds like grandpa was just trying to get little Hornsby to go to bed. “Here, let’s play a game. I’ll put this bucket on your head and you go to sleep.” 😛

Due to the fishing tournament, K.K. Slider was not in town tonight. I’ll have to check for him tomorrow night.

I posted a new video today, with yearbook-style superlative awards. I reveal my choices for best and worst new feature introduced in New Horizons, best and worst new special character, and things like the laziest, cutest, most improved special characters, and so on.

See you all next time!

Marine Day

Nook Shopping has a new seasonal item for “Marine Day” in Japan. It’s a ship-wheel door decoration. It can be ordered now through July 22nd for 1,300 bells.

Ship-wheel door decoration: 1,300 bells.

I ordered one yesterday and received it today. Since I didn’t have anything on my door, I decided to display it.

Agent S: What a super evening, in Miitopia!

And yes, Agent S is sitting on a log stool that I use as an exit for my King Tut races. A bit later, I found Agent S on another stool nearby–a stone stool–near the oasis.

Agent S and Jeff sit on stone stools at the oasis.

Gulliver was in town today, so I grabbed my shovel and dug up the five pieces of his communicator. He’ll be sending me a reward in the mail tomorrow.

Gulliver: M-my, uh... OH MY GOSH!

Not much else was going on today. But I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow.

The Astronaut Store

Yesterday, Apollo told me that he doesn’t like sweet foods…except for apple cider vinegar. 🥴 Yeah, I don’t think that qualifies as sweet, bro.

Apollo: Me, I don't like sweet things. Except apple cider vinegar. Gahaha!

Last night, I headed over to Alec’s town Onett to check out his new obstacle course.

Racing on Alec's obstacle course.

We ran the race twice, and I actually beat him both times. 😛 I like the course; it has a good mix of obstacles (climbing, vaulting, hopping over holes/water, and going over beds/benches).

Today, I noticed that a space suit was on display in the window of Able Sisters. I guess they’re trying to appeal to the astronauts in town. 😛

I hope you can appreciate the gravity of the situation.

I found Celeste in town tonight, over at the campsite. She taught me a DIY recipe for a lily wand. She never seems to run out of wand recipes to hand out. 😛 It’s almost as if she keeps conjuring up new ones with the wave of a magic wand.

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

I posted my latest New Horizons Moments video today, so I hope you’ll check it out!

Note: I do not plan on having Friday Night Forest this week.
