Peanut’s Wet Table

On Wednesday, Drift was looking to exercise (being the jock that he is). And he suggested some group calisthenics! Of course, that reminded me of the group stretching (aka aerobics) in the GameCube game and New Horizons.

Drift: Maybe we could do some group calisthenics together, rrrrribbit!

Yesterday, I shot down Gulliver’s UFO for the 35th time. When I woke Gulliver up, he insulted the shape of my head…and my intelligence as well.

Gulliver: AAAAH! What is that!? Why is its head shaped like that!? And...can it understand me!?

I gathered up his UFO parts for him, and in return, he gave me a plate armor. It was my 4th one.

Peanut gave me a sob story about how broke she is…

Peanut: I was so broke last month that I sold my favorite table to pay the bills.

She said she cried so hard that she made the table all wet.

Peanut: I bawled so hard that I made the table all wet. I'm still regretting it...

Wait, is that the table she sold? How did she make it wet if she already sold it? 🤔 At any rate, I thought she was about to ask me to buy something from her…but she didn’t. 🤷

Caroline asked me to deliver a gift to Bones, and it was an orange jumpsuit. Bones was surprisingly eager to try it on! 😆

Bones: Whoa! This is an authentic orange jumpsuit!

Caroline rewarded me with a plaster wall.

Octavian is the latest villager to be sick, so I gave him some medicine Wednesday and yesterday. By today, he was already over his cold! He said he’s back, and better than ever! I’m glad to see he’s feeling so well, especially so soon!

Octavian: Anyway, I'm back and better than ever.

Caroline was in an especially good mood today. She went on and on about how much she loves this town, and all of her friends here. How cute! 🙂

Caroline: Even though I live alone, I never feel lonely at all because of my friends!

That’s all I have for now, but I’ll be back with more next week. Have a great weekend, everyone! 🙂

Everything’s Coming Up Bones

Yay Day is coming up on Sunday, and my villagers are already preparing for the event. They’re practicing giving compliments, but they’re not very good at it. On Wednesday, Octavian told me I’m not all that dumb (sometimes).

Octavian: Hey, you! Uhhh... You're not all that dumb. Sometimes.
Thanks. You too.

Bones was finally over his cold, and he thanked me for the medicine by giving me some cabana flooring.

Yesterday, Octavian asked me to deliver a letter to Drift. Drift showed me the letter, which was a bit rude. 😆 Classic Octavian, I guess. Or classic crankies, to be more precise.

Hi, Drift, I read your letter and you still sound L-A-M-E! Eat pear salad daily to get stronger! -Octavian

But Drift had a good sense of humor about it, and he laughed it off. Octavian later rewarded me with a playroom rug. Why do villagers always have so many carpets to give away? 🤔

Today, Bones was the one looking forward to Yay Day…and he may have been going a bit overboard, talking about killing me with kindness. 😉

Bones: Good vibes! Compliments galore! Mad props! Death by mad props...

He even said he was going to compliment me until I puke!

Bones: Watch out, 'cause I'm gonna compliment you 'til you puke this Sunday!

All this, and I probably won’t even be playing on Sunday. 😆

Octavian asked me for a new greeting, so I gave him a Splatoon-themed greeting: “I’m a squid now.” 🐙

Octavian: I'm a squid now!

When I ran into Bones again, he seemed really happy. He said everything was “coming up Bones.”

Bones: I'm really happy today, yip yip! Everything's coming up Bones!

Of course, this reminded me of “Everything’s coming up Milhouse” from The Simpsons (and the subsequent meme). Most likely, that’s what they had in mind when they wrote this line. 😏

Have a great weekend, everyone! I hope to see you again next week (or tomorrow if you also read my City Folk blog)! 🙂

How Fate Works

On Wednesday, I found Pascal standing near the ocean. He told me that sea serpents are the Sasquatches of the sea. Um, that’s good to know. I guess. 😆

Pascal: Sea serpents are the Sasquatches of the sea, maaannn.

He then gave me an anchor and dove into the sea himself. Maybe he’s going to search for that elusive sea serpent. Good luck, maaan.

Octavian asked me to deliver a gift to Dotty, and it turned out to be a pink tartan. Dotty called it a “safe choice,” but didn’t seem very enthused about it. When I told Octavian she thought the gift was just okay, he said that next time, he’ll just send trash! 🗑️

Octavian: It didn't go over well? Weird. Next time, I'll just send a bunch of TRASH.

He rewarded me with a mod wall, and I didn’t dare tell him it was just okay. 😉

Yesterday, I shot down a balloon present in the afternoon. I found a mini-lamp inside.

There was a new “Talking to Myself” post on the bulletin board, and it’s one I haven’t shared in the blog before. It’s about wishing from the heart…and fate.

-Talking to Myself- Wish from your heart, and it's sure to come true... But sometimes not quite. That's how fate works.

Today, Octavian asked if I’ve been saving up for a rainy day. I told him yes, and he was surprised that I’ve saved up so much (even though I never told him how much it was). He said it was good, because I can’t collect shells forever, like a little kid.

Octavian: ...Well, I guess you can't collect shells all the time like some little kid.
No, I collect bugs and fossils like a little kid. 😆

He said he wants what’s best for me, not that he’s my dad or anything. Yeah, I’d probably have more arms if he was my dad.

Octavian: That's right! Not that I'm your dad or anything...

Over by the museum, Tank was talking about his desire to go fishing. He said he wants to go grab a ship and catch something huge! How are you just going to grab a ship, though?

Tank: Looking at the frothy sea makes me wanna grab a ship and catch something huge!

Bones has still been sick with a cold this week, so I gave him some more medicine Wednesday, yesterday, and again today. Hopefully he’ll get better soon. I hate when these things drag on for weeks.

If you haven’t yet seen my latest video, here is Episode 65. It covers events from April and early May:

I’ll be back with more next week. Have a good weekend! 🙂
