Today was Shari’s last day in town, so I went to say goodbye to her.
Midge told me she had a fight with Hornsby, and she bought a gift to make up with him. She asked me to deliver it.
I took it over to Hornsby, and it was a kung-fu tee. 😀 Hornsby loved it, and he said he and Midge would be able to make up now. He gave me a globe for helping out.
Later on, Braxton from Nettle (aka Hedgy) came over to adopt Shari. I hope you enjoy having her, Hedgy! And I’m sure Shari will enjoy her new home! 🙂
Down on the beach, I caught my first horned hercules beetle! It took out my eye! 😛
Of course, I donated it to the museum.
I’ve finally decided to move Tia’s house (again). I’m putting her house next to Lopez’s house, near the entrance of my “secret” path to the north beach. I didn’t originally think there was enough room here, but there was. I did trim the cliff above though, just so there was space to walk behind her house.
I never came up with a name for this street. I once toyed with the idea of calling it Rizzo Road, but I decided against that. But it will now have three residents, just like Apple Lane. These houses are closer together than the homes on Apple Lane, however.
Moving Tia’s house will give me more horizontal space on the west part of town where I make multiplayer games. Even though this won’t affect the frog race, I’ll be able to use the extra space for the next thing I have planned.
That’s all for today, but I’ll be back again with more soon. See you then! Never Stop Crossing!
Shari told me she was thinking about moving out of town today…and I decided to let her go. So she will be moving out tomorrow.
She was one of my starting villagers (along with Louie), but it’s time to let her go. She’s been my 2nd-least favorite villager (behind Rizzo), and she’s had a good four months in town. I wish her well, but I’m ready to get someone new on this island.
C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three small-time fish in a row. But that wasn’t going to stop me from catching this arapaima.
Putting the “air” in arapaima.
It took me a while to find the small fish I needed. It’s actually easier to find large fish than small fish in New Horizons. But I completed C.J.’s challenge, and I was able to sell him all my fish at a good price (including my arapaima and a dorado I also caught).
Celeste was also in town, and she gave me a recipe for an iron wand.
I made one, and it just looks like a pipe! Maybe I could use this as a weapon against any rabid rats I may encounter. 😛
One of my Nook Miles+ goals was to go diving and catch three sea creatures. So I did just that. One of the critters I caught was a vampire squid. That’s a new one for me, so I donated it to the museum.
A few other quick notes:
My 5th gold rose appeared today.
I had a bunch of new black roses, but I just started selling them. I already have more than I need for now.
My town rating was (temporarily) down to 4 stars, thanks to the leftover frog suits I forgot to put back up after yesterday.
I’ll be back with another entry tomorrow. See you then!
The Happy Home Academy sent me a letter congratulating me on topping 50,000 points today. They sent me a gold HHA plaque, and I put it in my exercise room.
It was storming in town when I started the game up this afternoon, and I caught my first giant cicada. It also earned me some Nook Miles as the 60th bug in my Critterpedia.
Velma the goat was camping at the campsite. Even though Velma wasn’t baaad in New Leaf, I had no interest in inviting her to my island.
Donut want.
Able Sisters had a paper bag for sale (to wear as a hat), and it was only 140 bells, so I bought it right away.
Can I have a paper bag to take this home in?
My 4th lily-of-the-valley appeared at my campground area, but I might end up moving it somewhere else. It messes with my pseudo diagonal symmetry here, lol. 😂
At 4:00, I opened my gate. Logan, Wyatt, Alex, Alex, Jade, Tom41, and Ryan (from Petal Burg) came over to visit. We started off with a frog race, and I actually won the first race.
I suggested another run, but as we were returning, I spotted a banded dragonfly. I chased after it a bit, but it got away. 🙁 But we ran the frog race again, and Ryan won this time. Congrats, Ryan!
Tom suggested a backward frog race, where we start at the showers and race down (towards the camera) back to the starting point. Sounded like a good idea, so we hopped to it.
Wyatt was the first back to the starting line, so congrats! There weren’t any prizes, but I said the winners got to eat a fly. 😛
After that, we headed over to Able Sisters. Everyone else bought paper bags to wear, so we were a bunch of bagheads!
Back outside, Ryan and Tom41 ran ahead…and fell into pitfalls. 😛 The only bad thing is that I didn’t get to see it happen! They were so ashamed that they hid their faces in paper bags. 😉
Jade got disconnected, but returned. We headed over to the pier for some swimming and diving. Fortunately, our bags didn’t get soggy in the sea. 😛
Alex left, and the rest of us went up to play a few rounds of sumo. We played one four-player version of sumo, and Logan won the first round. Timo came over (Forest was full again), and the four of us who didn’t play the first round played this time. Timo won this round.
We then played an 8-player game of sumo (on just the regular 3×3 grid). I fell out first, and it looked like the others weren’t even moving for a while! But Ryan ultimately won…or so it appeared. But after looking at the footage, I saw that Ryan actually got pushed out of the ring (but without falling into a pit) and went back in. Bzzzt! Disqualified! It appears that Jade was the real winner. Congrats, Jade!
After that, we posed for pictures near Godzilla, jumped on the pillars, visited Rainbow Road, and then dived off it into the ocean. 😛 Around 5:20, I ended the session. Thanks to everyone who came! I had fun! 🙂 Many of today’s activities will end up in the next Wi-Fi Moments video.
Later on, I checked out K.K. Slider’s show and he performed K.K. Technopop for me. Unfortunately, that’s one of the worst live songs he plays. Fortunately, the aircheck is much better.
That’s all for now, but I’ll see you all again soon. Have a great day!
