Tater Tot

At Able Sisters on Wednesday, I saw they had a superhero mask for sale, so I bought one. (I didn’t have one in my catalog.) But now I can look like an inkling from Splatoon, if that random, specific need ever arises again. πŸ˜†

Trying on a superhero mask in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

At the plaza, I participated in group stretching for the first time in a while. Kapp’n, Brewster, and even Gullivarrr joined in.

Group stretching in ACNH.

Speaking of Gullivarrr, I helped him out and he sent me a pirate-treasure robe in the mail on Thursday.

Bob came up with a new nickname for me, and I thought it was cute: Tater tot. We already have Ketchup in town, so why not have a Tater tot too? πŸ˜›

Bob: What about...tater tot? Whaddaya think? Real cool, huh?

Yesterday was Bones’s birthday, so I crafted a stone lion-dog for his birthday gift. He seemed to be surprised by it (in a good way, I hope).

Bones, at his birthday party: Oh wow, like... Whaa?! This is a stone lion-dog, right?!

His next-door neighbor Midge was also there to help him celebrate.

Midge: I wasn't sure you'd come, Jeff, but I'm glad you did, in the sky!

Happy birthday, Bones!

Later, I found Bob and Rio sitting on a bench together at the plaza. They were both enjoying a cup of coffee. β˜•

Flick was in town, and I sold him 155,000 bells worth of bugs.

This morning, Pascal popped up and shared his thoughts about ducks playing dodgeball. πŸ˜›

Pascal: Do you think ducks get confused during heated dodgeball matches?

Ankha was crafting something interesting…a pile of cash. πŸ˜† Too bad we can’t craft this in real life. πŸ˜› πŸ’°

Ankha: everyone who's anyone is going to want a pile of cash!

Speaking of cash, my savings account balance topped 64 million bells tonight.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed one of my favorite songs: K.K. Faire. Ketchup, Bob, Agent S, and Louie were also there for the show.

See you next time!

Safe from Wasps

I found another scallop while diving Sunday, and Pascal popped up to tell me that “square” is a state of mind. 🟦

Pascal: Square isn't a shape--it's a state of mind, maaan.

He gave me another pearl for the scallop.

Yesterday was my character’s birthday, so Bones kidnapped me and took me to his house. Punchy and Ketchup were also there, and they all wished me a happy birthday.

Everyone (Bones, Punchy, and Ketchup): HAPPY BIRTHDAAAY!

They also encouraged me to beat the life out a poor piΓ±ata. πŸ˜›

My villagers cheer me on as I smack a birthday pinata in ACNH.

There were ten birthday cupcakes inside, and I gave some of them away to villagers who weren’t at the party.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Birthday for me. Agent S, Rio, Bob, and Midge were also at the show. Some birthday greetings from Bones, Ankha, Mabel, and Tommy were displayed on-screen during the song.

Dearest gold star, Happiest of birthdays! Please know that I am going to work hard to make this another wonderful year for you. I do hope you'll continue to grace me with your friendship. It means the world to me! -Your friend forever, Ankha

The Nooklings had an upright piano for sale, so I bought it. I also ordered a painting set, so that today, I could finally craft a street piano.

Street piano: Craft it!

It was one of those recipes that I’ve had for ages, but never actually crafted (until now). I know I still have many more such recipes, but at least I got one of them out of the way. πŸ˜‰

I shook a tree near the bottom of a ramp tonight, and wasps came out. I ran up the ramp, got my net out, and started swinging. After several swings, I still had not caught the wasps…but they didn’t catch me either! They dispersed, and I was safe! Are they not able to get me when I’m on a higher level? I didn’t think that would be a problem for them. But I’m not complaining. πŸ˜›

Wasps disperse after failing to eat me.

See you next time!

Science with Eyes Closed

I went diving in the rain last night, and I caught a scallop. Pascal popped up and told me some wise words about magic.

Pascal: Magic is just science with your eyes closed, maaan.
He gave me another pearl for the scallop.

Midge was enjoying some coffee at the Roost, and she was talking about reading. She said she wants to read something more mature, like a “hard-boiled novel.” I’m surprised a bird isn’t reluctant to use that phrase. πŸ˜›

Midge: Maybe I should read something a bit more mature for a change... A real hard-boiled novel, in the sky!

It’s kind of funny timing, because in Wild World yesterday, Dad sent me a letter using the same phrase.

When I went into Nook’s Cranny, a big ape walked over and got right in my face! How intimidating. πŸ˜›

Timmy: Hello! ...hello! Welcome to Nook's Cranny!

At the plaza tonight, K.K. Slider performed K.K. Reggae for me, Bob, Rio, and Agent S.

I posted a new video today ranking my villagers in all eight of my Animal Crossing towns. Check it out if you’re interested! πŸ™‚

See you next time!
