Burying a Bothersome Beardo

Bones sent me a letter in the mail today, thanking me for attending his party and giving him a gift. He sent me another copy of his photo with the letter. πŸ™‚

Pierce the eagle was camping at the campsite today. He seems alright, but I did not invite him to perch in town.

Pierce: I just got here today, and I gotta say this island's really nice! Feels perfect for roller skating, hawkeye.

Beardo got in the way when I was trying to catch a bug, and I ended up scaring it away. Beardo then got in the way again while I was hitting the money rock, and I only got two coins out of it! πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘ΏπŸ‘Ώ

Beardo: Whoa! What was that?
I want to set your sideburns on fire.

I hit him with a net, and then I pitfalled him. He’s really getting on my nerves today!

Beardo struggles in a pitfall.
This is your captain speaking. Your flight has been grounded.

At Resident Services, I spoke with Isabelle about Louie. I finally forced him to change his house up, so that he no longer has a “starter” house. He has a proper gym now. You’re welcome, Donkey Kong.

Louie's redecorated house gym.

K.K. Slider was in town, and I asked him for a random song. He played K.K. Groove for me, Hornsby, and Ketchup.

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

Some of my villagers were looking forward to the fireworks show tomorrow. It should be fun!

Marina: I'm nearly busting at the seams with excitement! I can't stop thinking about tomorrow's fireworks show.

I’m a bit disappointed that we only get four fireworks festivals this year, since there are only four Sundays in August. The past two years, we had five festivals! Oh well, it’ll still be fun. πŸ™‚

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I’ll see you all next time!

Bones for Bones

On Monday, I found a lost item on the ground and I returned it to Sasha. He rewarded me with an instant-muscles suit.

Sasha: My favorite bag! I've been looking everywhere for him! I can't believe you found him!
Your bag is a him?

I got 30 turnips from Lottie’s Island, and I sold them on Tuesday for 134 bells apiece (4,020 bells in total).

Yesterday, C.J. was in town with another seasports challenge: He wanted me to catch three small-fry fish in a row. I caught a crucian carp and two horse mackerels to complete the challenge. I then grabbed 22 fish (mostly sharks) out of my storage and sold them for 373k.

C.J.: Oh, you got a whole school for me? All together that'll be... 373,500 bells. Deal?
That’s a nice chunk of change.

Beardo was picturing himself giving Bones his birthday present, and he could see Bones saying “ack!”

Beardo: I've got the whole scene mapped. I'll hand over my gift and Bones will be like...ack!

Sure, he claimed it was a “good” ack, but I know better. πŸ˜› The only good thing you can get from Beardo is a goodbye letter.

Wisp was in town last night, and I gathered up his spirits for him. In return, he gave me an ornithopter.

Today, Bones was having his birthday party. (The summer birthday season continues!) And what do dogs like? Bones! So I gave Bones some bones. Big bones. A whole megacero torso, in fact. He can gnaw on that for a while. πŸ™‚

Bones: Oh wow, like... Whaa?! This is a megacero torso, right?!

Sasha was also at the party to celebrate. πŸ™‚ Happy birthday, Bones!

Sasha: A huh huh huh, I sure do love birthday parties.

Label was in town today, and she wanted to see me in some work clothes. She gave me a samurai shirt as an example, although I pictured that as being more of a theatrical outfit myself. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

But I went home and changed into a pilot’s uniform, captain’s hat, and loafers. Label was impressed with the outfit, and she’s going to send me some tailors tickets in the mail. She also handed me some Labelle pumps. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go apply to work at Dodo Airlines. ✈

Label: I am sooo impressed. Thank you for putting it together for me!

This is your captain speaking. This blog entry has ended, so you may now unfasten your seat belts and exit the plane. Or if you’d rather, you can wait until we land. πŸ˜›

See you all next time!

Birthday Party

Today was my character’s birthday, and Marina dragged me over to her house for my party. Ketchup and Bones were also there. Marina told me to blow out my birthday candles.

Marina: Just stand in front of your cake and press A, eight times.

I forgot that was Marina’s catchphrase though, so I really thought I had to press A eight times. And I did! πŸ˜‚

She gave me a present, which was a birthday hat. Next up on the agenda was beating a piΓ±ata. They encouraged me to go crazy until cupcakes spilled out of it.

Jeff bashes his birthday pinata until cupcakes fall out.

After the party, I gave some cupcakes to some of the villagers who weren’t at the party.

Agent S: Yay! A cupcake! This looks le super nom nom! Thanks a bunch of bunches, glitter!

In return, they gave me additional gifts, including a birthday cake from Agent S, some birthday candles from Hornsby, birthday shades from Apollo, and a birthday table from Louie.

Louie: YOU'RE giving ME a present? That's an awfully nice thing to do for your greatest rival!

K.K. Slider was in town for the second night in a row, and he played K.K. Birthday for me. During the song, several birthday notes appeared on-screen from some of my villagers and special characters. That was nice. πŸ™‚

A birthday message addressed to "Super Birthdayer tater tot" from Sasha.

Static and Beardo were also at the show, so I couldn’t give them cupcakes. Well I didn’t really care about Beardo anyway, but I would have at least given one to Static. πŸ˜›

One other note: Mom sent me her homemade cake in the mail.

See you all next time!
