On Wednesday, Gulliver sent me a hula doll in the mail.

Yesterday, Sasha told me that he wanted to move away to see the world. I thought about it, and I decided to let him go. He has lived in town for a year and four months (since December 2021), so he’s had a nice run.

Ankha asked me for a new catchphrase, and I decided to use one that Beth suggested: In a pyramid. 😆

Huck the frog was camping at the campsite, so I said hello. I wasn’t interested in him, even though he’s clearly a lot better than the frog I got in City Folk last week. 😛

Today was Sasha’s moving day. He said that on TV, nobody says “goodbye.” They just smile and say “I’ll see ya later,” he told me. And that’s exactly what he did.

Jolly Redd’s ship was parked on the north beach, and he had very low-priced products today! He was selling a bath bucket for 250 bells, and a toothbrush-and-cup set for 630 bells. That’s both non-art items for under 1,000 bells! Maybe Redd’s not as greedy as I thought he was! 😉

At those prices, I didn’t even bother checking my catalog to see if I needed those color variations. I just bought them.

I’ll probably use some Nook Miles Tickets tomorrow to hunt for a new villager. But if I don’t find anyone good after a few tries, I may just leave it to chance. See you soon!

Sunday was Easter, which is known as Bunny Day in Animal Crossing. Sasha seemed pretty excited about it, although I’m wondering if he thought it was about him. 😉

The villagers are dressed in costumes, and Rio looked she just hatched out of the egg outfit she was wearing. 😛

Of course, Zipper T. Bunny was also in town. He wanted me to craft all of the Bunny Day DIYs, which I’ve obviously done before. So he gave me a Bunny Day wand. He also wanted one egg of each type; I gave him those and he rewarded with a Bunny Day basket. And with that, my Bunny Day tasks were already complete.

Last night, K.K. Slider had a rare Monday night show, performing K.K. Milonga for me, Sasha, Static, Agent S, and Punchy.

Today was Punchy’s birthday, and I headed over to attend his party. His next-door neighbor Louie was also there.

For a gift, I gave him a toy box that I bought at the shop. It has a bunch of toys in it, that a cat should enjoy playing with. He really seemed to enjoy it. 🙂

Gulliver was on the beach today, and I dug up his five communicator parts for him. He’ll be sending me another reward in the mail soon.

On Thursday, Gullivarrr sent me another pirate beard in the mail.

The spring fishing tournament was held today, and I decided to participate for just one run. But when the tourney takes place during “egg week,” it’s really quite a pain. Some of the “fish” are actually eggs instead. And yes, you can avoid them if you remember that medium-sized shadows are eggs, but their presence still means you have to keep walking farther to find one that actually is a fish.

So…I ended up with only three fish (five points). 😛 It was not my proudest fishing moment. 😆

Later on, Bones did a special “dance” to congratulate me on catching all the bugs in the game. His “dance” was really just him using the joy reaction and repeating things like “woogie buggy.” He’s an odd pup.

Punchy told me something that he does every night at bedtime: He plays a game called lost cave explorer, where he crawls around under his bed.

He even said he stays there until the sun comes up, which makes his bed rather useless if he’s not sleeping on it. 😛 Then again, he is a cat after all, so it really makes sense if you look at it that way.

K.K. Slider wasn’t around tonight, due to the fishing tourney held earlier in the day.

If you enjoyed the video I posted last week, about A.I. describing my ACNH screenshots, you may also enjoy this new one I posted today. It’s shows some of my City Folk screenshots instead, but the humor is similar. It even thought I was Sonic the Hedgehog at one point! 😆

See you next time!
