Beardo was sleeping under a tree on the beach yesterday. When I woke him up, he didn’t know who he was. He’s clearly senile and needs to be put in a nursing home. 😉
K.K. Slider was in town tonight, and he performed K.K. Reggae. A larger-than-usual crowd showed up for the concert: Me, Apollo, Beardo, Marina, and Ketchup.
Later on, I made some more changes to my moon-viewing area. I removed the cliffs in the middle, which unfortunately meant taking out a large chunk of the waterfall. But I made up for it by adding some waterfalls on the sides.
I like the changes, but I may not be done just yet.
I didn’t get my video done to post for this weekend, but it should be up in a few days.
On Tuesday, Gullivarrr the pirate was on the beach. I went diving for his communicator, and I found it on my first dive. He sent me a pirate eye patch in the mail.
I also sold my 30 turnips for 117 bells a pop…only to find the Nooklings were offering 477 bells yesterday. Oof. Of course, when I had such a small quantity, it doesn’t make a huge difference anyway.
Today, Marina told me she had a fight with Bones over something unimportant. She wanted me to deliver a gift, and I agreed to help out.
I’ll deliver it once, and that’s it!
I’m getting a lot of mileage out of Marina’s catchphrase lately. 😂 That’s the beauty of a good catchphrase. I need to stop turning down other villagers’ requests for new phrases!
Anyway, Bones really liked the gift (a plasma ball), and he rewarded me with a retro gas pump.
At Forest Fit, I bought this conductor’s cap. It reminded me of Porter.
I’ve been training for this moment.
Back in town, I did a bit of redecorating where I have my hyacinth lamps on the cliff. I made a bit of a moon-viewing area, where you can see the moon and…another moon. Yes, two moons.
I like it, but I’m not done with it yet. I think it needs some bamboo trees, because I think it would look great with the moonlight shining through the bamboo. I also want to get rid of the rest of those yellow roses. Those yellow roses were actually leftover from Spectacle Rock two years ago! I just kept them there during (and after) my Animal Crossing cemetery. 😛
As for opening my gate for fireworks, I think I might do that a week from Sunday (on August 21st). It’s not set in stone yet, but that’s the plan so far. The time is to-be-determined, but it will almost definitely be earlier than Friday Night Forest. It may also be the last time I hold Space Race races too, because I may work on something different for September.
In the meantime, I’m working on a new New Horizons Moments video. I’m hoping to post that over the weekend early next week.
The first fireworks festival of the year was held last night. I was a bit surprised to hear that the fireworks made Louie (of all people) a bit jumpy!
Over at the plaza, Isabelle gave me a star bopper. I put it on and watched the fireworks for a bit.
I also added my little froggy dude design to the fireworks rotation. This is the frog face I used on my Frog Pond sign, as well as my Froggy Diner clock.
Today (Monday), Marina gave me a recipe for some apple jam. I already knew how to make it, so she asked if there was someone else I could give it to…eight times. Considering how often we get duplicate recipes, that’s actually pretty accurate. 😛
Flick was in town, so I grabbed a few bugs out of storage (but not as many as I expected to find in there). He paid me 47k for the seven bugs.
While doing some diving, I caught a moon jellyfish. I tried to put it in my science pod, but unfortunately, it still has its container with it. Otherwise, it would look like a small (or baby) Metroid floating around!
I also made my usual Monday trip to the hospital to pick up 30 “somethings” from an old friend. (I’m trying to keep this spoiler-free lately, even though I know I’ve mentioned it in the past.) 😛
