K.K. Slider was performing at the plaza today. Agent S, Hornsby, and Louie were already seated for the show, so I thought I would join them.

But as I was speaking with K.K., Agent S and Louie both got up, turned around, and left. But at least my buddy Hornsby was still here. I told K.K. I wanted a random song, and he told me to take a seat…so I did. But just after I sat down, Hornsby also got up and left! See how lucky I am with friends? 😛

Anyway, K.K. performed K.K. D&B for me. Although the song starts out very slow (at least the live version), I did enjoy it overall.

There was a meteor shower tonight, so I wished on a few shooting stars.

I went diving, and it took me longer than usual to find a scallop. But when I did, Pascal showed up and started talking about neckties! Does he even have neckties in that underwater world of his?

He gave me a pearl as my reward today.

I gave Hornsby a train set as a gift today. In return, he gave me a tube top. Uh, thanks. 😛

I did a little fishing and bug-catching tonight. The best part was when I caught two whale sharks, back-to-back.

I hope you all had a good weekend! I’ll be back with another entry soon. Have a great Monday!

The July Bug-Off was held today, and that was the first thing I did (before even checking my mail). I participated in four rounds, and I scored 7 points, 9 points, 8 points, and then 11 points in my last round. So I actually did worse than I did last month. But my accumulated point total was up to 41, so I was due for a few prizes.

For ten points apiece, Flick gave me a ladybug umbrella, a toy cockroach, a termite mound, and a bug cage. The bug cage isn’t furniture, though; it actually functions like a backpack. The ladybug umbrella is pretty cool, and the termite mound is really tall. This could actually function as a natural-looking pillar in an obstacle course or something. I’m going to keep it in storage just in case I come up with a way to use it in the future.

I then checked my mail, which included my art from Jolly Redd. I took it to the museum, where Blathers informed me that the informative statue is a forgery. It still looks cool though, so I’m hanging onto it anyway.

Later tonight, Rizzo told me that he did pretty well in the Bug-Off. But how do I know if he’s telling the truth? Unlike New Leaf, there’s no ceremony for the winners…and in fact, there are no winners at all. It’s not really even a competition (not even a phony one). So I’ve just decided that Rizzo is lying. 😉

I went diving until I found myself a scallop. Pascal popped up and told me it’s not all about the bells. But this didn’t seem to be a deep discussion about money and life; he seemed to be talking about Animal Crossing: New Horizons specifically!

I posted a new video of game highlights and funny moments today. Here is New Horizons Moments #1:

See you all next time!

Gullivarrr sent me a letter in the mail with a pirate’s hat attached. He signed the letter as “Dread Pirate Gullivarrr,” which is surely a reference to Dread Pirate Roberts in The Princess Bride. I took this picture wearing the pirate’s hat, standing on the pier, with these unusual clouds that I don’t think I’ve seen in the game before!

Louie asked me to catch a zebra turkeyfish for him, and I thought this might be my chance to get Louie’s photo. Unfortunately, it took me nearly 40 minutes to catch the fish! But once I finally had it, I rushed it over to Louie. In return, he gave me…a swimming cap!

I was not happy about it. So I used the aggravation reaction repeatedly to let him know. 😛

Keaton told me he had been meditating, and he came up with a new nickname for me: Hashtag.

I shook a tree near Tybalt while he was fishing. Some wasps came out, so I wanted to speak with Tybalt before I got stung.

I tried to run behind him so that he would get stung instead (haha, I wish), but that didn’t work. Tybalt did run away from the area though (as I was getting stung), and he started fishing a bit further down the river instead. 😛

There was a camper at the campsite today, and it was Tasha the snooty squirrel. She is a villager I’m not familiar with at all, and she certainly has a unique look to her. But I was not interested in taking her in, especially with a full town already.

Redd was in town, so I entered his ship/shop. Two of his paintings looked fake, and one was real but I already had it. The other was a statue that I haven’t seen before, the informative statue. That’s the one I bought.

I went diving and caught a scallop. I gave it to Pascal when he showed up. In return, he gave me a D.I.Y. recipe for a mermaid wall clock.

The Bug-Off is coming up tomorrow! See you then. 🙂
