Buff Baby

Fuchsia the deer was camping at the campsite today. For a moment, I was thinking she was a snooty villager and I was contemplating asking her to move in (dependent on who she would be replacing). But I looked her up and saw that she’s a sisterly/uchi villager, so I didn’t bother.

Fuchsia: I wanna tell you that it's seriously rad here. I don't know what I was expecting, but I'm blown away.

Gullivarrr was washed up on the beach, so I went diving for his communicator. I found it on my 4th dive. He will be sending my reward in the mail tomorrow.

Timmy and Tommy were buying turnips for 132 bells apiece. That’s not a huge amount, and the price still seems to be trending upwards. But on the other hand, it is getting late in the week and I didn’t want to risk taking a loss. So I sold 1,100 of my 1,400 turnips for 145,200 bells. That’s more than I paid for all my turnips on Sunday, so I’m now guaranteed a profit no matter what. And if the price jumps more tomorrow, I’ll at least have 300 to sell at that price.

For the second time in two weeks, Rizzo wanted to buy an ant from me. This time, he offered me 160 bells for it…and of course, I agreed to the deal. I don’t catch ants for money anyway, I just catch them to boost my bug-catching total. Leaving that rotten turnip near my house helps a lot; there seem to be ants there almost every time I walk by!

Rizzo: I'm a rat, I owe you big time.

My villagers continued to talk about Festivale, which is coming up on Monday. Louie asked if I’ve been training for the event, saying that dancing is like if cardio and music had a buff baby. That’s a very weird way of looking at it, but still, I do get his point. 😛

Louie: I hope so, for your sake. Dancing is no joke. It's like if cardio and music had a buff baby. Think about it.

There may not be a blog entry tomorrow (unless something major happens, like Rizzo moving out). And as a reminder, there’s no Friday Night Forest this week. But I will be back on Saturday with another entry. Hope to see you then!

Festive Dog

On Monday, Apple asked me for a new catchphrase. I wanted her to say “Viva Festivale,” but that wouldn’t fit. So I just told her to say viva.

Later that night, I found Celeste in town. She taught me a DIY recipe for a golden wand. I wish I could wave my wand and make all wands disappear. Just give me space items and zodiac furniture, please! 😛

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

Yesterday, Timmy and Tommy finally had the Festivale item I wanted most: the confetti machine!

Tommy: Seems like you're interested in Festivale confetti machine.
I placed it outside in front of Nook’s Cranny.

Tybalt and Rizzo were sitting on a temporary bench at the plaza. Tybalt said he asked Isabelle if we could get a training gym on the island, and she said no! Shouldn’t he be asking me, not her?

Tybalt: Like, for instance, I asked Isabelle if we could get a training gym. She said no.

Today, C.J. was in town with another seasports challenge: He wanted me to catch three small fry fish in a row. I caught two pond smelts and a crucian carp to complete the challenge.

With Festivale coming up on Monday, many villagers are already looking forward to the event. Bones boasted that he’s going to be the most festive Festivale dog anyone’s ever seen!

Bones: Just you wait. I'm gonna be the most festive Festivale dog anyone's ever seen, at the Depot!

I found a lost item on the ground, and it was a bag that smelled like a minty sports cream. I swear it seems like 90% of the lost items belong to jocks! I asked Tybalt about the bag, and he said it was his. He thanked me for returning it, and he gave me a guide shirt for helping out.

I grabbed some fish out of storage and took them over to C.J. I sold him two koi, two sturgeon, three red snappers, and four football fish for 70,500 bells.

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 70,500 bells. Deal?

Just a heads-up for people on my friend roster: There will not be a Friday Night Forest this week. But I’ll be back with another blog entry soon.

Rizzo’s Modern Art

Last night, K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night performance. I asked for a random song, and he played Pondering for me. Bones, Tybalt, and Louie were also in attendance…and Keaton also made an appearance mid-song.

Early this morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae for the first time this year. She was selling them for 102 bells apiece, and I bought 1,400 of them for 142,800 bells.

Daisy Mae: Alright, so 1,400 turnips comes to...142,800 bells. Does that sound OK to you?

This evening, Midge asked about moving away. I told her to stick around longer. I may be at the point where I’m ready to let Keaton leave (and obviously Rizzo, of course), but I’m not ready to say goodbye to Midge just yet.

At Able Sisters, I bought this snowflake sweater. Now if I have any dandruff, I can say it’s actually just some snowflakes. 😛

Rizzo was on the beach, questioning the placement of my sphinx. He ultimately concluded that it must be a “modern art” thing. Uh, I really don’t think so. 😂

Rizzo: Maybe it's some modern art thing?

I found a lost item on the ground, another book of “xtreme exercises.” It wasn’t Tybalt’s, so I took it over to Louie. He thanked me for returning it and gave me a relay tank.

Later on (after I watched the Super Bowl, haha), I found Wisp in town, up on the cliffs. I collected his five spirits for him, and he thanked me by giving me a folding chair.

See you all next time! Never Stop Crossing! 🙂
