Flasklurb!

Yesterday, Celeste and Wisp were both in town, and there was a tent at the campsite as well. I spotted them all together!

Celeste and Wisp hanging out near the campsite, where a camper had erected a tent.

Celeste gave me five star fragments, Wisp eventually gave me an arched reception counter, and the camper turned out to be Amelia the eagle.

Amelia: Oh, thank you for stopping by. I don't believe we've met. I'm Amelia.

After shaking some trees, I got stung by a wasp. Many of my villagers commented on my face, and Ketchup was so surprised by my swollen face that she made up a new swear word! Sounds like something I would do. 😛

Ketchup: FLASKLURB?!

“Flasklurb” sounds like a unique word, but it’s not quite as unique as I initially thought. That’s because my other peppy villagers, Agent S and Rio, also said the same exact thing when they saw me!

Agent S: FLASKLURB?!; Rio: FLASKLURB?!

Only Punchy actually helped me out by giving me some medicine. Thanks, Punchy!

Punchy: No worries, though! Here, it'll heal right away with this medicine!

Today, I actually found a new D.I.Y. recipe I needed in a message bottle on the beach. It was for a golden meter and pipes. I don’t keep track of all my recipes, so I have no idea how many more I still need, though.

C.J. was in town, and I eventually found him on the vaulting pole course! He wanted me to catch three small-fry fish for his seasports challenge, so I caught three pond smelts and returned to him.

C.J.: ...Huh?! You caught 3 fish in a row?

He paid me just 1,800 bells for them, but I then went to grab some fish from storage. I only had five fish to sell him, but he gave me 47,700 bells for them all.

I then wished on a couple of shooting stars before wrapping up my game for the night.

Note: There may not be a 2nd blog entry this week. I’m not changing my blog schedule, this is just a one-time exception. So most likely, I’ll be back early next with the next blog entry. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Sleepy Saturday

This morning, I updated the dream version of my island for the first time in months. So now you can meet Punchy and test out my vaulting pole course if you’d like. (I left a vaulting pole and ladder near the start of the course, in the southeast corner of the island.)

Luna: Your dream of Forest is still filed under the Dream Address DA-6717-1633-3682.

Tonight, Hornsby was telling me how he’s been yawning all day. I was actually yawning and feeling tired too, so I could definitely relate. 😴

Hornsby: Yikes...I can't stop yawning today. Is it true that yawns are catchy? Do you feel sleepy?
Yes and yes.

So sleepy Hornsby and sleepy Jeff headed over to the plaza for K.K. Slider’s performance. I don’t know if K.K. knew we were tired, but he played K.K. Lullaby for us! Was he trying to put us to sleep? 😛

K.K.: Right on. I'm tuned up and ready to roll. Who's in the mood for a little K.K. Lullaby?

After the show, Rio noticed the aurora up in the sky, and she said they were like night rainbows.

Rio: I've been thinking... Aren't auroras basically night rainbows?

So I went to the top of the mountain to get a good look at the “night rainbow.” It’s a pretty sight, and it’s nice and peaceful up here.

Watching the northern lights over Forest.

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my night in Forest…and took a nap. Pleasant dreams!

50 Million Bells

On Sunday morning, I bought some turnips from Daisy Mae. She was selling them for 93 bells apiece, and I bought 3,100 turnips from her. On Monday, I got another 100 bells from Lottie’s Island (if you know, you know).

When I crafted some a pot, Rio came running–literally running–into the castle! I guess she really likes pot. I mean… pots. 😛

I made a pot!

This week, I got a katana from Gulliver and a kitchen counter from Wisp.

Today, the Nooklings were paying 183 bells for turnips, which was nearly double what I paid for them. So I sold my 3,200 turnips for a whopping total of 585,600 bells.

Timmy: And done! I can buy these from you for a total of 585,600 bells. Sound good?

It was nice to finally make some progress towards my turnip achievement, and my total profit is up to 1.4 million bells. Unfortunately, I still need 8.6 million bells in profit to complete it. It’s going to take a while.

When I took my latest profits to the bank, I was surprised to see that it was almost precisely the right amount I needed to kick my balance up to 50 million bells! I literally had just 194 bells to spare, that’s how close it was!

Savings Balance: 50,000,000 bells.

The 50 million in savings is my third-highest bank total in the series, and just about three million short of my City Folk total. (It’ll probably surpass that total within a month or so.)

Sasha was talking about how much he loves riding in cars…and he hinted at why he’s not allowed drive any more. 😛

Sasha: A HUH HUH HUH HUH! SCREEEeeeEEEeeeEEECH! OUTTA MY WAY, MAAAAAAN!

Can you picture a car driving by real fast, and looking over and seeing Sasha in the driver’s seat? It’s a scary thought to imagine. 😉

I hope you’re all enjoying the first week of 2023! See you all again soon! 🙂
