Crucial Ketchup

On Sunday night, I retrieved Wisp’s spirits for him, and in return, he gave me a baby bed! Maybe he should keep this for his spirits, so they’re not wandering the island late at night. Put them to bed!

Wisp: Here, have... a baby bed!

Yesterday, C. J. was in town. He wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row for his seasports challenge, so I caught a tilapia, a salmon, and another tilapia. I then grabbed a bunch of fish out of storage and sold them all for a total of 282k.

C.J.:  Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 282,600 bells. Deal?

After writing a letter today, I earned 2,000 Nook Miles for writing a total of 100 letters. However, that’s only the 4th of five goals; I still need to write another 100 letters to complete this achievement! I rarely write letters, so that’s going to take a while…

Four of five achievements complete for the Popular Pen Pal goal.

Ketchup asked about moving out of town, but of course I told her to stick around. I need Beardo to leave, not Ketchup. Although he might not be the only one I’m ready to let leave, he is my preferred choice.

Ketchup: I'm, like, a crucial part of this island...right?

Yes, you are crucial to the recipe! I mean, to the island.

There was a heavy meteor shower tonight, and I spotted Rio seemingly looking up at the sky. But I’m not sure if she was wishing on stars or just falling asleep with her neck craned upward.

Rio wishing on a star?

At the plaza, three of my villagers were having a cookout: Bones, Hornsby, and Beardo. Well, two out of three ain’t bad.

Beardo, Hornsby, and Bones enjoy a cookout.

Over the weekend, I posted a new video of highlights from my online play sessions in August (featuring lots of fireworks, of course). Here is Wi-Fi Moments #24:

See you all next time!

Rio’s Birthday

Yesterday, Gulliver sent me a sombrero in the mail, for helping him out on Thursday.

Today, Forest Fit had some all-blue full-body tights.

Olivia: Let's see... It's 1,000 Poki for some full-body tights.

It reminded me of Tobias Funke painting himself blue in Arrested Development (to try out for the Blue Man Group). So I bought it and paired it with a blue ninja hood. 😂

Jeff dressed in blue.

K.K. Slider was in town for his usual Saturday night performance, and I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Rally for me, Marina, Louie, Hornsby, and Sasha.

Wendy the weather lady sheep was up at the campsite today. I like her, but I did not ask her to move into town.

Wendy: Hi there! I'm Wendy! I'm here on a camping trip! You live on this island? Tres cool.
Nice to meet ewe.

Today was Rio’s birthday, so I looked through my storage for a good gift. I know she’s an ostrich, not a peacock or peahen…but with her Brazilian name, she does make me think of Pavé. So I ultimately decided to give her a Festivale lamp, and she seemed to appreciate it.

Rio: Whaaat?! You got me a Festivale lamp?!

But what she really needs is a new friend. Why is Beardo of all people at her party?!

Beardo: It's not the most exclusive event on Forest, but that's cool.
Clearly.

I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend! See you again soon.

The Acorn Legend Returns

Out on Harv’s Island, I found that Cornimer has now returned for the season. If only Tortimer was here to meet him! 😉

Cornimer: The Acorn Legend is back! It is I, Cornimer, and the season of ME has come again!

Gulliver was in town (on the beach), so I jabbed him awake (his words) and then I found his communicator pieces for him. He’ll send me a gift in the mail tomorrow.

Gulliver: Oh! It's you, Jeff! Were you the one who jabbed me awake just now?
It was more of a stab than a jab. âš”

I was enjoying a hot beverage at the Roost (with Sable), when Timmy came in for some coffee too. He left his brother in charge of the shop, and he admitted he was nervous about it. 😂

Timmy: I've got my brother watching the shop. I know he'll do fine, but it still makes me a little nervous.
But who will finish his sentences?

In the eastern part of the island, I’ve finally finished removing the last parts of my space race. It wasn’t easy hauling all that moon dust away! I just dumped it on Beardo’s house. 😉

A blank slate of land.
There’s more space…and yet, less space.

I still haven’t started my next obstacle course yet, but I need to do that one of these days. See you all again soon!
