On Tuesday, Agent S told me that she saw Rio watching her practice her dance moves.

Agent S wondered if Rio is her first fan! No, Agent S, I’ve been a fan of yours for years!

On Thursday, Louie asked me for a new catchphrase to replace “oh banana.” I haven’t been changing many catchphrases lately, and they’ve all been getting a bit stale (like an old banana). 😛 So I told Louie to say “you ape” instead. Now he seems angry and hostile all the time. 😆

Last night, I happened to notice Bob spritzing my evergreen ash tree with a water bottle. I haven’t seen anyone interact with this tree before, so it caught me by surprise. But it’s certainly a cute detail. 🙂

Tonight, K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night show. I asked him for a random song, and he performed K.K. Western for me, Rio, and Merengue.

Here are a few other quick notes about this past week:

• On Monday, I returned a lost book to Merengue. She rewarded me with an open track jacket.
• I helped out Gulliver, and he sent me a tam-o’-shanter on Tuesday.
• Thursday, I sold 5 bugs (4 wasps and a tarantula) to Flick for 27,000 bells.
• I returned a lost book to Bones, and he gave me an explorer’s hat.
• Louie was sick tonight, so I crafted him some medicine. He gave me a paisley bandanna as thanks. (Oh, bandanna!)

I’ll see you next time.

Last Sunday, Ankha told me she likes watering plants as part of her daily routine. She even likes to give the plants names…like Plantina!

That reminded me of something from earlier in the series… And if you’ve played much of Animal Crossing: Wild World, you probably know what I’m talking about: Moppina! It’s the name that normal villagers will occasionally give to their mop, who is also their best friend. 😆

Two days later, I had another interesting chat with Ankha…in almost the same spot. She told me that my clothes a bit low-key! I found that hard to believe, considering I was wearing a gold suit of armor!

She tried to help out by giving me a cavalier hat. It has a feather sticking out of it, but that’s actually two fewer than my suit of armor. 😆

My old New Leaf neighbor Kidd was hanging out at the campsite for the 2nd time. He said 100% of “Kidds” would rate the campground highly. 😛

Last night, Bob and Bones were enjoying some drinks at the plaza. Louie was also there, but he was hard at work exercising. It was quite a contrast from the lazy bros. 😛

Over at the campsite, I had another repeat camper. This time, it was Phoebe the red ostrich. She looks like she could be Rio’s sister!

As of today, maple leaves are now falling from the sky. And of course, you can catch them (well, some of them) and use them as a crafting material.

At the museum, I scared Blathers by sneaking up behind him in a suit of armor. Okay, not really…I just woke him up and wanted an excuse to show this screenshot. 😆

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

• On Monday, I returned a lost book to Louie. He rewarded me with a mesh cap.
• I helped Gullivarrr yesterday, and he sent me a pirate outfit today.
• K.K. Slider performed “My Place” for me tonight. Sadly, no other villagers joined me for the show.

Never Stop Crossing!

Pascal popped up while I was diving on Sunday, and he lectured me about gravity…and apples. (He also gave me a pearl in exchange for my scallop.)

Wisp was hanging out later, and I found all of his spirits and returned them to him. He thanked me by giving me a meeting-room table.

Maybe we can sit around it with his recovered ghosts, and have some nice spirited discussions.

On Monday, Static questioned why I was wearing my suit of armor. He thought I was just trying to scare him.

I’m not trying to scare you, dude. The armor is for protection while I work the knight shift. He angrily told me to stop it, saying he wouldn’t be scared by my gothic flimflammery!

Actually, “zap nuts” are one hazard the suit insulates me from. No more shocking surprises down there. 😛

I visited Merengue today, and Static was also there. Merengue told me to come in and join Static…on a cake. So now I’m getting serial killer vibes from her, and I’m picturing me and Static on a cake in the oven, being baked alive, as Merengue laughs maniacally. 😛

At the campsite, I had a super good camper today: Kid Cat!

I’m generally reluctant to kick anyone out, but I wanted to at least see who he would replace if I did ask him to move in. Turns out, I’d have to give up Static. And I’m definitely not going to do that.

I like Kid Cat a lot, but not more than Static. Sorry, Kid Cat. Maybe we’ll meet again someday.

Here are a few other quick notes about this week:

• On Sunday, I played a treasure hunt game with Agent S; I won a checkered sweater vest.
• Tuesday, I sold 21 bugs to Flick for 102,000 bells.
• Jolly Redd was in town today, and I bought a red cruiser bike from him.
• I returned lost bag to Rio, and she gave me athletic outfit.

Yesterday, I posted my latest video, New Horizons Moments #29. Here it is if you haven’t seen it yet:

I’ll see you next time. Never Stop Crossing!
