200k HRA Score

In this week’s letter from the Happy Room Academy, I was informed that my house score is 202,539 points! I’ve topped 200k for the first time! The addition of Bob’s pic last week must have been the reason (or at least the main reason) for the boost!

Jeff, your room gets 202,539 points! Stylish! Elegant! SASSY! No matter where you look, this is a PERFECT room!!! -Happy Room Academy

Once I complete my space room, I plan on posting a house tour video.

Wendell was in town on Monday, and I gave him a red turnip. In return, he gave me another turban. Now I just need Saharah to show up again, and hope that she gives me a red vase for it.

When I visited Peanut, she told me she was fully recovered from her cold. She thanked me for the medicine I’ve given her lately, and she gave me a green lava lamp.

Tom Nook was telling me that a customer told him his clothes were too old-fashioned. It reminded him of his days in the city, where he was known as “Off-the-Hook Nook.” 😂

Tom Nook: I was known as the famous Off-the-Hook Nook!

On Wednesday, Peanut told me that she read in a magazine that football fish oil prevents wrinkles. But she said it was too expensive…so she wanted to catch a football fish and then just rub it on her face! 😮

Peanut: I should go catch one and, like, rub it all over my face!

Tonight, I shot down a UFO. In the process, I helped Gulliver crash land exactly where he intended. 😉

Gulliver: Aha! What luck! I've crashed exactly where I intended!

I gathered up Gulliver’s UFO parts as I made my way around town. After I returned them all to him, he rewarded me with an Arc de Triomphe. I added it to my Gulliver room.

My Gulliver room now includes the Arc de Triomphe.

Goldie asked me to make a delivery to Peanut, and of course I agreed to help out. Once the job was done, Goldie got right to the point and rewarded me with a cactus.

Goldie: A deal's a deal. Here's your cactus. Enjoy, hop to it!

Bob’s Pic

On Sunday morning, I bought another red turnip from Joan. So I’ll be ready for Wendell the next time he shows up.

On Wednesday, Kid Cat asked me for some red furniture. I kept an eye out, and I ended buying him a red jackhammer from Nookington’s. He liked it, and in return, he gave me a red sofa. Wait, why is he giving away red furniture when he’s trying to collect it? Especially since he doesn’t have much of it yet!

Kid Cat: A red sofa! Bam! Aren't you stoked, slacker?!

Yesterday, Bob asked me if anyone has given me their picture before. I said yes, and he was hoping it wasn’t Peanut. 😛 He then said “well take this anyway,” and he gave me his picture! Wow! 😮

Bob: Now, I only give my picture to my bestest friends ever!

Moments later, I listened in on a conversation between Bob and Goldie. They were talking about spicy food, and Goldie said that her stomach can’t handle anything spicy. But Bob was determined to help Goldie train to handle any spice.

Bob: I shall take you under my wing. Together, we'll train you to master any spice!

Since my villager photo room can’t hold any more items, I had to find a different place to put Bob’s pic. I was happy to find that I could put it on my mush end table, next to my bed. Bob’s favorite quote is “I’m a cat. Chillin’ is in my blood, man.”

Quote on Bob's pic: I'm a cat. Chillin' is in my blood, man.

That’s different from his quote in later games. But it sure is nice to have Bob’s pic now! 🙂

Goldie asked me to guess how much ice cream she wanted, and I left the slider right in the middle (in between tiny scoop and normal scoop). She said I was correct, and she rewarded me with a toilet.

Goldie: I thought you could use a toilet, so here... It's all yours.

Today, Kid Cat was packed up to move out of town. But I spoke to him over and over until he changed his mind.

Cyrano said he wanted to have a competition to catch a long locust for his niece. But it was too late in the day to find a long locust, so I declined the request. His response was to call me an antisocial freak.

Cyrano: Hey! Are you some kind of antisocial freak or something?

Peanut has been sick lately, and believe it or not, it’s the first time anyone’s been sick in over a month! There’s usually someone in town that’s sick, so I was shocked that we’ve gone this long without any illnesses. But that stretch is over now, so I gave Peanut some medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. Hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

10th UFO

On Monday (November 1st), I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the tenth time!

Gulliver: I seem to remember a comet hurling toward me at disquieting speeds.
Yeah, that’s it! A comet knocked you out of the sky. It totally wasn’t me!

I gathered up the five missing pieces of his ship, and he rewarded me with a Metroid. Even though that’s a good reward, I already had one of those. So this was my first duplicate from him.

On Tuesday, Samson told me that since bugs are sensitive to sound, I should creep up on the bugs with my net held up.

Samson: Bugs are sensitive to sound, so if you're stalking one, hold the net up and...

There’s just one problem with this bit of dialogue: You can’t creep with your net in Wild World! That feature was in the GameCube game, and it later returned in New Leaf and New Horizons.

I’ve started to play on Tuesdays again, since I recently realized that I need two of Redd’s space themed items. But he had one of them this week, the space shuttle.

Redd: Ah! I see you've noticed the space shuttle! That's a very nice item!

I bought it and added it to my space room. Now I just need the rocket from Redd and the lunar surface from Saharah.

My space room continues to fill up.

I normally put my bells into my savings account once my pockets reach around 100,000. Since I had 96k+ on me, I went into town hall to check my balance: 2,212,550 bells. So I figured depositing 88k would get me to 2.3 million. But since I’m lazy sometimes, I just hit the 8 button repeatedly, depositing 88,888 bells. But I was a bit surprised when I saw the amount remaining in my pockets was 7,777 bells.

7,777 bells in my pockets as I hand Phyllis a bag of cash.

I just thought that was pretty cool, as insignificant as it is. 😛

Today (Saturday) is flea market day, where everyone sells their old junk. When I ran into Cyrano, he was complaining because I wasn’t at home. Apparently he wants to see my junk.

Cyrano: But if you're not at home, then I can't see YOUR old junk...ah-CHOO!
My junk is nothing to sneeze at.

It was K.K. Slider night at the Roost, and he performed K.K. March for me. It actually wasn’t that bad. Since I had a country guitar with me, he again asked to trade it for his pic. I agreed, and that confirms that you can get his photo more than once. I’m not sure why you would need it more than once, unless you accidentally sold it and wanted a replacement, but it’s good to know the option is there.
